First TCP/IP than No Ultra Wide, No Gem & Runes Stacking

[Scorpion-1189]

Disappointing that they are leaving out direct TCP/IP connections. You know on launch day it’s going to be plagued with queues, lag, random disconnects, and probably someone who thinks it’s funny to DDoS the servers. Would be nice to have that as work around for those problems too.

Pushing a Hotkey to use a skill is the same whether you can see it or not. IE Hitting F8 to teleport is the same as hitting Keypad X or B to teleport (or whatever).

The controls is just a matter of preference really.
Blizzard should simply allow us to choose which control scheme&UI to use with each input.
Mouse & Keyboard should be able to use the classic D2 system with LMB & RMB, or the new D2R systeem with an action bar. Let everyone pick the system they like.

This is not true at all, Blizzard specifically said that TCP connections would be in D2R and then did a 180 and changed their minds.

A quote from Rod Fergusson: “You can still connect locally through TCP IP if you want to! That was there in D2. It’ll be there in D2R.”

Yeah. No doubt that TCP/IP was a promised feature that has been removed.
Not remotely okay, especially when it is such a critical feature for some part of the game.

Mercs are still pretty OP. I never used the Eth bug because I don’t like to cheat or exploit a known bug. I’ve made characters that buffed the merc while the merc could solo farm Baal in Hell without it.

Good to know.

@LennyGhoul-1732

Luckily most of the game is already finished so there isn’t too much Blizzard can wreck before it’s launched (I hope).

This is ActiBlizz we’re speaking of, so I bet they’ll mess D2R even more and it wouldn’t surprise me if at launch day servers would be as stable as in first months of D3…
