well a good programmer would use a simple wrapper function -
" getMyKeyboard() {
whatever
unncesseary
bullshiiii
code
here
return keyboard }
"
i would have imagined blizz has that already, but if they need help here too i can provide it
Bumping again
The discussion here about K&M diverts a bit from the topic.
The players X feature is already in the game. They are running legacy server code, make an emergency patch for people pressing the wrong buttons too fast in the character selection screen, but canāt map the chat wheel to set the player count?
Are they kidding us?
Another point is wether or not they WANT keyboard and mouse support for chat. Enabling chat without keyboard and mouse admittedly would be clunkyā¦
We should get both patched (back) into the game.
Vut if you ask me, give us /players X first! ASAP!

Indeedā¦ its really hard to enjoy this on consoles for so many reasons.
This though? This is by far the most annoying. Now why do I say that? Because not including it was just plain stupid.
This is not a fancy feature. It is very simple, shouldnāt be hard to code at all, and EVERYONE who played single player seriously used it.
This is dumb. Put it in. There is no reason not to. Its a simple thing that made the experience way better. Its like they didnt include it just to slap us in the face for not playing the pc version.
I cant afford a good computer, my laptop cant run the pc version, or i would have gotten that.
Monthly fee to play online. Annoying controls. Complete lack of easy trading. We cant make custom named games people can browse, so its a journey and a half to get anything your looking for regardless of playing offline or online.
Even just chatting with other players (if you can find any) is stupidly difficult on the console without a mic or talking on a different chat room online at the same time.
This justā¦ so disappointing.

Hope they add it soon. Iām really enjoying playing D2R with controller. Feels so much better than on PC back then. BUT I reached a point in SP where it would really highly appreciated to have the players 8 function. And why the right analog stick did not get any function (aside from weapon swap) despite so much possibilities is really weird. But thatās a small thing compared to game content relevant things like players 8.

100% agree, right stick should:
- Zoom in/out
- /playersX wheel (instead of the emote wheel) in single player

While having the immense pleasure of re-farming all my gear, after the awesome āaccidentalā character deletion, I am just thrilled to do it all on players 1. I mean, hell, it so much fun I might delete this char as well and start all over again. thanks blizz. keep it up.

Well lets me honest hereā¦ No one was suppose to use (or know about) /8Players. It isnāt intended. It is basically the same as cheating. So I donāt giva crap about you. /8players isnāt āoriginal diablo 2ā. And it is an offline thing only, so yeahā¦ doesnāt matter. Go play LOD or something if you really care that much about farming for absolutely no reason. I donāt care how you like to play. Saying you need a cheat code essentially isnāt gonna take priority.
I am so tired of these offline whiners. Diablo isnāt designed for offline play. Only has offline because online gaming was still new at the time, not everyone had internet, and they couldnāt get away with selling an online only game at the time. The only reason /8 wasnāt patched out years ago, is cuz offline doesnāt matter.
I donāt care what you think of me, I am tired of this ****! **** /8players and all you offline single players whining about it. How about you try actually playing the game as intended for once. Maybe youāll realize then that you donāt need any of that crap you want.
Actually /players X was patched in in 1.09 if Iām not mistaken.
And the promise was to preserve the gameās experience āas isā meaning as it was 1.14 - which had /players X.
Youāre entitled to your opinion but I suggest you look up some of the popular streamers who did holy grail projects and who are partly responsible that the community made it through the last 20 years.
Also, keep in mind that it is only console that is missing the feature.
Iāll play the game without and have been since launch, **but /players X needs to return to console ASAP **.

Yea and nobody cares about what you are caring about. And nobody needs your troll opinion.
Playing online will be great when everything is pached in a few months. Until then, you only can play offline if you want to play properly. And / playersX has nothing to do with cheating. What you are writing doesent make sense.
