Refunding. I don't trust they will get D2R right

+They have removed TCP/IP, effectively gutting modding support and offline LAN play in the name of “safeguarding the player experience.”

Yessir they did. I’m sorry that you cannot accept this. A lot of people can’t because it seems emotions > logic, but I don’t blame you I guess.

@DuALsTRIKE-11330

+They have made last-minute ladder changes.

Cite evidence outside of the post confirming the changes.

@DuALsTRIKE-11330

+They refuse to support Windows 7, which is my primary OS that I run off of for gaming. This was a major inconvenience for me and forced me to switch over to my media-based Win10 SSD just to be able to play the game.

Nobody supports Win7 any more. It is a defunkt platform that receives no more updates. It would be a waste of time, money and resources to program for something that has been abandoned.

@DuALsTRIKE-11330

+They removed ultrawide support after touting it as a feature.

It was never supported in the fashion you and many others remember it in from the Alpha Test. It is supported as a resolution in which you can physically display the game on at your desired desktop resolution and therefore is working as intended. The Alpha Test implementation was a rough implementation without any proper work to make it display correctly.

@DuALsTRIKE-11330

+There are too many inconsistencies with the UI from the base game

Personal preference, not a bug or a problem.

@DuALsTRIKE-11330

+They have censored character models and deviated away from source material for political correctness.

Opinionated. You’re entitled to an opinion. Doesn’t mean it’s right.

@DuALsTRIKE-11330

+They have removed the ability to make more than one account, with a hard character limit of 20 per Battle.net account, reducing storage capabilities.

They didn’t remove any ability to make more than one account. This is a Battle.net limitation. You were aware of this from the get go, signing up for a Battle.net 2.0 account.

@DuALsTRIKE-11330

+Accessing the game client requires you to be connected to Battle.net (although not certain this will remain for single player at the game’s launch).

Welcome to current era gaming where 99% of games from Triple A companies are on the Always Online model. You have software pirates to thank for this.

@DuALsTRIKE-11330

+They have suggested being open to further changes down the road when asked about content additions, hinting at the possibility they will morph the game from its “faithful” remastered state.

Yet another misconstruing of what “faithful” means in regards to the remaster. Faithful can also imply that they intended to continue support for the game. It might be stretching it, but it is a possibility and that it wasn’t conveyed correctly. I’m giving Vicarious the benefit of the doubt. Better to be optimistic than to be pessimistic and doomsay all-day-long.

@DuALsTRIKE-11330

Blizzard is showing signs that they are willing to give in to people crying for changes on the forums.

Can you discern what is crying and what is actual feedback? I’d like to know your opinion on the matter.

@DuALsTRIKE-11330

This overly-vocal minority poses a serious threat of taking D2R down the same path of retail World of Warcraft.

Provide numbers that prove your claim that they are the minority that include more than just Reddit, Youtube, Twitch, D2R forums, etc. (Hint: It’s not possible. There’s FAR more people that will play this game that don’t speak up at all on any social platform.)

@DuALsTRIKE-11330

Rather than give my money to Blizzard, only to be suckered into a non-refundable purchase after it’s too late, I will be sticking with my PlugY’d LoD client and waiting to see if Blizzard can effectively put their foot down over the pro-changers, or give in and continue morphing the game, come launch time.

And this is your right to do so, and I empower you to do so if that is what makes you comfortable.

@DuALsTRIKE-11330

If you want my business, you need to keep your promises and prove that you don’t ruin everything you touch.

They haven’t broken any promises as none were made. Tactical business claims were made, and as such, a game in production is always changing, even “remasters”.
