The current patch is an insult to the whole pvp community

Tells me the office atmosphere has NOT changed after the lawsuit.

I am afraid there are more people that actually care about the gender change than pvp in this game.

Yā€™all crying? Itā€™s season 2 of 30+ to come. Pull up your parties and hopefully they cater to you cry babies and donā€™t leave you hanging for 20+ years like the rest of us normal human beings who love the game already plus the small editions they keep adding. Lol chill out and wait for them to work on things as the game grows in age. Bunch of entitled privileged babies LOL yā€™all just need refunds and got play Final fantasy

Nooooo!! OMGā€¦I gave up on Blizzard with my eyes closed and my ears coveredā€¦ This game is not the Diablo we used to know. It seems like itā€™s just a sequel with only Diablo 2 skins.

I agree with the points made in the original post. Disappointed to not see any updates to FHR & Stun which are 100% necessary for fun high-level pvp.

Maybe we will have to start thinking outside the stun box or somethingā€¦ Also go hardcore or go homeā€¦

For gm tourney, make FHR bm on any gear. That solves it, doesnā€™t it? Adapt and make your own rules.

To randomly hostile someone in a pub game, itā€™s a different story than just pvp. Somebody could come in and abuse the stun locks. Thatā€™s why new FHR is incorporated to prevent stuns being abused especially in pub games being bm*ed against average joes.

You are speaking behalf of very small % of people who loves pvp, yet we see them very vocal about it on forums, but there are very large amount of players who I think agreed to new fhr change on 2.4 survey feedback. Thatā€™s what 2.4 ptr was about and I respect the decision it was made.

Because the game isnā€™t tuned to your liking doesnā€™t mean the game is bad. If you going to complain because you canā€™t adapt, just get better and find a better way to kill casters.

Itā€™s unfortunate that hardcore fan of pvpers like you are disappointed but itā€™s also disappointing that you arenā€™t willing to adapt to new changes as well. There is no rule saying you have to be a cookie cutter player, but you can always innovate with the game.

People disagree in 2.4 Ptr. We reported it already in PTR.

Nobody listened.

Totally Agree with this. Terror patch is great, only if compromised PvP balance because of idiot FHR and stun patch is recovered. ROLL BACK FHR as 2.3 or, for at least PvP only.

Sad to pay that much for a game and get that little for your moneyā€¦ I mean almost every other game community, developers listen to the ppl playing the gameā€¦ Iā€™m not quite sure but who is it that finances games? Oh ye I remember, ppl buying the game XD

Maybe the intention is to deincentivize pvp because they can. The most likely reason is because the devs have no idea what they are doing and have free reign to ruin this game. Obviously they are not listening to long time players and will do as they please. The best thing to do is unpopulate this game en mass so that Blizzard may fire these jokers for ruining their ip.

I love how these topics are always same 10 people pleasing each other with words, but in reality they are just sad that they cannot ā€œKill everyone with stunlocks in pvpā€. Get real, ppl. PvP in old iteration is dull and silly. They are working on countering players who are just abusing mechanics to mindlessly kill anyone.

The og devs meant for stun to be a thing for pvp. These new devs are far removed from what was intended for their own vision of what Diablo 2 should be. I donā€™t care either way even though to me pvp makes this game worth playing, I never relied on stun lock or weapon switch glitch even though others did. Some call WSG a feature but it was a bug.

No it is about having a weakness and a strenght. FHR stun enables making difference for different characters. Without FHR stun it becomes boring. I like to play with my wind druid and druids have poor FHR frames. It is boring having my weakness (being fhr stunned) removed, it is not fun.

Iā€™m sorry but now you are assuming that there has been no new rules made for tournaments. There is community working for months to make things work with rule changes. But unfortunately this FHR change is so bad it canā€™t be fixed with a rule change.

If you think about duel you have different characters with stenghts and weaknesses. Without FHR stun this removes these strenghts and weaknesses, being stunned or making a stun. Removing FHR is making characters more same without differences, they are losing weaknesses or losing abilities or the whole build is not usable anymore.

Letā€™s say if you compare D2 pvp to chess gameā€¦ It is same to remove FHR stun as making knight, bishop and rook all move the same as pawn. And then you say, just make rule changes and adapt. But it is not the same game anymore, it is now just a boring game. Im sure you would like it back as it was before rather than ā€œmake it workā€ with new rules for no reason?
