I can deal with no lobbies although it is very disappointing… very… But you can’t actually think the way you have console players communicate is functional at all… You’re making us leave the game 7 different times to invite random people we meet for maybe a 30min to an hour game session. The chance of these people accepting the chat invitation will be sooooooo low, why would anyone even go to home screen and attempt to invite others???
Please at least consider adding KEYBOARD SUPPORT. 7 times… back and forth for a slim chance that someone joins… it needs to be fixed.

They (the dev team) have not said it will forever be broken, only that it will not be fixed at launch. When the first patch hits, and hopefully that’ll be very quickly, like Day 2, this will be a concerned priority item.
But, that’s hope. Take it for what it is and get disappointed.

They practically did with their post on the D2R general discussion thread…

Oh it’s a disappointment that’s for sure… there’s no way in hell im going to home screen 7 different times to send an invitation that won’t be accepted. I’m so disappointed that we’re having a discussion over this topic. How long have blizzard been making games? Do any other games of theirs rely on another software for communication… like what the hell. I’m going insane thinking about this… a billion dollar company couldn’t even add basic communication to a game… I’ve lost so much respect for this company. Sad.

I won’t be going to my home screen, searching for player and sending an invite 7 times that’s a fact.

“We designed the game to be the best experience on each platform you play, for console, the primary way for players to communicate is through native voice chat on their platform. So, we’re not making any changes on that front”
We got the design of matchmaking from D3 in D2R but couldn’t get the design of mic chat from D3 in D2R… yikes

“We modernized the Diablo II experience for the console, we designed the game so players didn’t have to rely on lobbies to play with others.”
Lol that’s exactly what we hate… no one asked you guys to “modernize” the lobby system. Why didn’t you “modernize” the PC version with this system? Wonder how pissed the PC players would have been. Console players don’t matter tho… I’m not even allowed to post these opinions in the general discussion where the devs post feedback…

Still we should add as many friends as possible on the different Konsole versions to have less randoms. Untill something is fixed hopefully. Would be crazy funny to give this System to PC for one week . There would be massiv hate all around.

We also shouldn’t stop bringing our concerns up to the devs. It’s sad that they think players on consoles aren’t smart enough to understand how to join and create a game. They had to “modernize” it. We should all be pissed about that

I wish I could reply to the post they made.
But did they forget that the nintendo switch doesn’t have normal voice chat like the other consoles.
I don’t get who anyone of them (devs) can play d2r on consoles but not get instantly hit with hey this might not be right?
If we can’t talk to the developers then who?
We have to get our game back.

The thread they made is in Diablo 2 Resurected general discussion. You should go reply to to it. I also made a thread call “modernize the PC lobbies” to keep the discussion going.

I cant i. I can you see whats going on. I think I need to buy the pc version. Which I cant cause I don’t have a pc. It wouldn’t matter anyway cause for now I was only going to buy the switch version. Also forgive if I am mistaken but I think I saw you on Twitter I made @BrokenDiablo on Twitter trying to do what I can with the time I have available. Thank you for being there on Twitter.

Everytime I start thinking about this topic my blood start boiling. 
PC players would be furious if they “modernized” their version…

Hehe that Was not very smart to answer like this " modernized" way. 2 weeks before release. Now plenty of quality players are gone. But seeing this we can just start to see it Ironicly. It makes no sense writing endless Arguments. Or explanation. They just dont know their own game or just think we are totally no brainer. Nothing will Happen ! If they could patch a text chat later they would have done it by now.

Oh my God right! MINECRAFT of all things was able to keep chat on the nintendo switch so. Its definitely not do to limitations. I honestly think this should have had more development time.
We haven’t seen the switch version yet and you still can’t buy it on the eshop on the switch.
