woosh
That is the sound of the entire problem going clear over your head.
Maybe had you not been too lazy to read my OP you would have understood, but alas.

The main problem comes from that ppl dont care what the ui tells them. You would have right IF after you click on the x the game would not ask for delete confirmation.
Well this “off META” ui alone proves how spoiled are the gamers today and how fast they fail when they need to use their brain.
You are ignorant. That is everyone, in every software system ever. Read a book on UX and educate yourself before you come on here and spout your false, uninformed takes.

Whether or not this is correct it is still just bad UI design. A large portion of UI design is to try and “idiot proof” the system as much as possible for the users to not do catastrophic damage to a system.
This seems like such a stupid easy patch to have “type delete”
Just me… I don’t understand how so many deletions are occurring but I also think this is something that is obviously a UI design failure that is to fix.

Well what is not “idiot proof” that is not automatically bad. Its just not “idiot proof”.
True. I never told that it is such a big work.
Well you already said it is not “Idiot proof”. D2 was never been on that way that is sure. This ui has proven how spoield ppl are today and how they dont give a f*** what is happening in the game.

Bruh, people today wont even listen to doctors who study for 20 years. You think they’re going to listen to some UX nerds? hahaha
I give up.
Who cares what every other system use? If you are lazy to read the tutorial and also lazy to read a pop ui element of delete confirmation then you deserved to lose your hero. I know you like to find excuses but learn to live with the consequences of your actions. If you dont care what is happening on your screen then bohoooo sad story.
Yep doctor tells you what to do or what is going to happen. Ui also makes the same. Lazy ppl just dont care. The ui (doctor) is there but you just dont listen.

I am in full agreement with the OP.
Humans make mistakes.
Humans tired from playing D2 until 4 am in the morning make even more mistakes.
The process of deleting characters needs to be mistake proofed.
P L E N T Y of examples from other games to draw on that would greatly reduce the heartache that comes from deleting a beloved character.

“Dont make me think”. Well the title speaks for itself. Thx for further confirming how today ppl dont use their brain even in video games.
If you think a red X means “quit game” what do you think “Exit Diablo II” means?

Maybe new game creation?
Indeed.
I cannot recall a single time an exit to any game has been in the bottom right-hand corner, especially considering there’s a button on that left that reads “Exit Diablo 2.”
Tell me why there’d be two exits on the same screen.
When you mouse over it, it says “Delete” and I’m also pretty sure it asks for confirmation. 2 button clicks.
And this is why products need warning labels.
I’m not here to defend a so-called “broken interface” I’m here to advocate for common sense.
So when you go out and drink to much and you suddenly step infront of a car then its the drivers fault? If you dont know your limits that is not the games fault.
Does the car look like a door that you’re trying to leave through? What a non-sensical analogy.

I’m not blaming anyone Jani.
I see the potential for error here, and its a simple fix.
Do you want to champion cars without seat belts because people need to know how to drive?
Do you want to endorse buildings without exit signs, because anyone dumb enough not to know how to get out should die in the fire?
Some kid last night deleted a lvl 86. It was his fault. No doubt. If he had been asked to type “delete” he wouldn’t have made such a bone head mistake.
Why do you want people to suffer for simple mistakes?

If you drink to much (what was your choice just like playing to much) then a car going to look what your imagination wants it to be. It a perfect analogy for pathetic excuses like " i was toooo tired to watch whats the ui is telling me".
Jani… jesus man.
How would you be negatively affected if they added a simple “type delete” to the process of deleting a character?
Whats wrong w/ you?
Are you just a contrarian? You just like to argue?

There are seat belts. Hover over x its says delete. Click on x its asks “are you sure”. You want more seat belts for 1 person.
There are exit signs. There is exit diablo button.
Its not a mistake to click on confirmation. At best its lazyness.
Suffer? For the choice they made? lol
