Well, let me ask you, when was the last update to the original d2? Does this game look like it updated frequently? Do you believe that the code is perfect? The amount of people playing this will increase dramaticaly at the remake launch which will make it a good opportunity for hackers.
They let people have access after refunding. I guess they didnât have time to code it.

well, if youâve tried Path of Diablo, Project Diablo and MedianXL then OK. If not then your opinion doesnât really mean much.
Yet Minecraft and many other games use it for multiplayer. Hmm.

Ahh very interesting. Thatâs pretty jokes.
Yeah, plenty of games still use Peer to Peer.
As with other âissues in gameâ (like WSG affecting a minority), even if modding catered to a minority of players: with the Y:Y Activision-Blizzard has, it really wouldnât be a problem to set mod-specific servers. Ones that have no link whatsoever with the main servers - no trading possible, no character transfer possibleâŚ
But the hacks were obvious in the Alpha - the game was hacked and cracked and people were playing offline with it very, very quickly. TCP/IP was blamed for this, so Iâm glad it is out. But it doesnât mean it can âneverâ happen - Blizzard have said thereâll be âsome formâ of modding for sure.
Blizzard does not code the forums. They are a third party solution called Discourse.
In the case of your game license, the forums donât synch rapidly with the Bnet account. It can take a forced log out/new login to update. This goes for getting access after buying something, and losing access after refunding it. Eventually the forums will update permissions.
Because I totally said itâs âbetterâ to leave it as is. If you canât handle it, then you donât need to play. Iâm sorry Iâm using this argument but ultimately is what this comes down to if they donât change the netcode - which I donât think theyâll be doing to any great extent. D2LODâs netcode is very very messy and I donât blame them if they donât change it. So, again - unless youâre hardened to D2LODâs online play being a crapshoot, you probably wonât stick around.
Clearly you and everyone else that is upset about this choose to think that this unknown possibility that they will remove mods support for multiplayer use entirely that you canât see yet is obviously the truth and choose to believe the possibility that there will be something to replace it is ultimately not possible because âmuh blizrdz iz no longer the same, they cnt be trustd!â
Please, get over yourselves. Iâm done trying to straighten you illogical lot out.
What exactly canât you see? Wasnât your single player game lagging on beta? Didnât you have random disconnects? I had lots of them, in a private game, why would that happened if the game wasnât played on servers? Tell me another reason.
Both betas were multiplayer only. Thatâs why you were on the server.
Single player will be playable offline.
Anyone spot the irony there�

Median XL is the only one of those worth mentioning, and I played it extensively. Still not near as good as vanilla D2LOD on closed bnet.
You know what i love?
How many people that have no idea that there is changes that will make the game worse.
Everyone is still willing to pay for the same game even though it has serious problems lolâŚ
