I stayed away from this game for a few years specifically because of the requirement to keep a live connection. I have been kicked enough in the last couple of days to remind me of my wisdom In my case, it does not, and will never work requiring a constant connection.
Thank God I can move on to other titles that don’t make me have this.
Yes, I know why.
No, I don’t care.
It frees up some space on my disk.
Gone forever. What a waste of time. My time is worth a hell of a lot more than this joke.
Goodbye

I am very confused. If you knew you had a poor internet connection, and know why you have issues, why did you buy a game that is online only? That was stated before the game came out in 2012 and is not going to change.
This is like of like putting your hand in water and being shocked it is still wet 8 years later.
Wait, you JUST created a forum account to make a thread about it as well? About only this?
Well then. I hope you find some offline games that suit you.

Get a better quality connection, ideally a hard line connection if possible, and as much bandwidth that is affordable. Terrestrial wireless can be spotty depending on weather/wind conditions. Satellite is a no-go for real-time gaming currently, however once Starlink gets up and running full throttle, that should become a decent option.

It only takes a D3 license and about 10 mins of reading posts + a like or two before someone can make a thread. The trust level system is very gentle on new folks - mostly so new players can ask for help. Occasionally it results in things like this though.
I mean, ok, that is a valid complaint, but it seems about 8 years too late.

Titles created don’t count as posts. Title has its own counter. Post counter counts replies only.
I am not sure why you had the need to tell us you were leaving a game that you did not even play.
I think you all have been severely trolled
I can’t believe we still have to put up with wet water in 2020! 
I mean, come on, this must be 50 years old!

No!!! there is a lot of people that play this game are in the same boat that he is in. People think that I have this computer and I can play games online. But when they can’t play it’s not their problem.
It is always the game or the server problem. Come on how many threads does this forum get all the time. About losing connection and it is always Blizzard problem never theirs. 99% of the time it has nothing to do with Blizzard.
I sell a lot of computers and I’m ask all the time if this computer can play games. When even I have it listed a basic computer not for gaming. 80% of the people in the world have no clue what goes on with a computer. Other than they know I can get on the internet, emails, and Facebook. lol

This is all true.
And sadly you see the toxicity the community spews at anything negative.
A decent moral person would offer help to the young player, regardless of his frustration. But instead they kick him while he’s down and in his worst moment.
You (toxic community) can reply to me with “he shouldnt act that way first” all you like, but it doesnt excuse your behavior.

Normally, a link to the Help forum, especially about WinMTR, would be warranted.
But, with lines like this:
It is obvious the OP would fight every bit of help that we suggested and the best course of action would say our “goodbyes” to him/her. (of course, this is assuming that the OP was talking about a bad internet connection).
On the off-chance that the OP was referring to “D3 is online only”, here are the link I’ve mentioned.
If the OP doesn’t want our help, the only thing I can do is quote the movie Tombstone…

Yep, I sell computers as well. There have been numerous times I’ll get a customer that wants to play high end games wanting a computer, but when I ask them their budget, “Oh, around $300 to $400”.
I politely mention that they may want to consider purchasing a console if that is their budget.

It really is something that needs to change. Especially given that all of the Diablo 3 revenue has dried up. So, eight years later our hands are indeed dry, and contrary to the statement it “is not going to change” things can and do change especially during leadership turnover. For example, Warner Bros backpedaled and removed loot boxes from Shadow of War. EA succumbed to massive criticism and relented with their predatory microtransaction model in SWBF2, and even more miraculously released a singleplayer game with absolutely no online component that sold 10 million copies, but I digress. What is absolutely bewildering is that non-season play is fully playable offline on console and always online season play is playable on console. Even Starcraft 2 relaxes the online requirement somewhat and requires a logon every 30 days. This is the right approach and respects the gamer, and clearly shows that everyone can have what they want in a video game.

Consoles have a different means of preventing game piracy. Many many PC game makers use online only for a variety of reasons, but all are beneficial to the game maker. Piracy is the biggest reason they use.
Blizzard won’t do that. Any offline they have, will be Console.

So Diablo 4 will be fully playable offline on console?
We don’t know how they will handle D4 on Console yet. I don’t think they have said. D4 PC will be online only. I strongly suspect D4 will be too if they do the open world concept.
However, this thread was about D3 - which only has offline on Console.
And you came here just to vent?
Also, I haven’t had a disconnect in ages, so the problem is probably on your end. I appreciate that some people might live in areas where you can’t get a good connection, which sucks, but it’s not Blizzard’s fault, or a problem with their servers.
