Telekinesis zapping distance nerfed?

General Discussion

I use telekinesis to speed up my Pindil runs by zapping the portal to reduce walk time. I noticed that I can only target the portal if I’m closer than the tree about a half screen away.

In the old game telekinesis worked on the whole screen and beyond. The skill should have no problem working in the wider resolution of d2r because in the original game if you used resolution “mods” the skill still worked way beyond the max d2r resolution.

I suspect the nerf was put in place when ultra wide was still a potential option to prevent those people from getting an advantage and Blizzard just over compensated by restricting its range to what can be seen in legacy mode.

It’s not a distance thing it’s a line of sight thing. This has been in for telekinesis since d2r released.

maybe to prevent scams, too? remember the telekinesis scams where you go to a part of a map and trick someone into dropping an item “because my trade screen is broken” or whatever and then snatch it up lol.

It distance restriction is there even if you have a clear line of sight.

It looks like whatever you’re trying to telekinesis has to be on screen (completely) in legacy gfx.

Telekinesis was restricted to picking up gold and potions long ago and everything can now be traded in the trade window.
