[REPORT] Issues affecting game

Diablo II: Resurrected General Discussion

Dear Blizzard,

This is just a warning about some potential game breaking issue regarding Ultrawide Monitors.

The problem isn’t Ultra Wide support, it’s amazing. But it’s the extended range it gives.

Here some videos :

It’s clean and beautiful. But the screen and range it gives is ridiculous and may affect gameplay in both PvM and PvP.

Let me explain.

Effect in PvM with such screen range :

  • You can reach everything faster
  • You can see monsters while other people won’t and avoid them.
  • You could see items droping while other people won’t.

Ex : You could go to Chaos Sanctuary from wp in like 4-5 teleports while other people will need 6-7 teleports ?

Just examples.

The effect in PvP is way more important :

  • You can reach your opponent in 2 teleports when he needs 3-4.
    It means you are way faster than him
  • You can namelock your opponent (because he is on your screen) while he can’t see you / namelock you.
  • You can go away from a risky situation and nobody will be able to follow you if they don’t have the same screen range.
  • You can avoid hits from teeth (nec), multishot (bowa) while other players can’t.

In case, it’s not clear enought :

This is just examples of situations where uncapped extended screen range could give an unfair advantage.

I’m sure something can be done like setting a maximum extended screen range ?

Some ideas from D2 community (just ideas) :

  • Locking mousse and adds a “fog of war” ?

  • Locking screen / add bars :

  • Wide screen zoomed no extra range (probably best option) :

The point of this post is just to warn and make the game better and fair for everyone, because D2 is a masterpiece so will be D2R.

The game already looks amazing by the way.

Regards.
