Not true. Barb leap paladin charge or vigor, can keep up np and all of these isuses only exist because You tested 2 acts on normal. It’s standard function to wait for tp from a sorc or a rusher otherwise and no one cares about loot because they’re happy to be being rushed and know they can get more loot from solo play after they level
This feels like Warcraft 3 Reforged all over again.

Diablo 2 Veteran here. I played Diablo 3 for 2 hours. I returned it for a refund. Diablo 2 is the ONLY game that’s great. It’s unfortunate Blizzard can’t seem to get that part. Diablo 4 will probably be a Diablo 3 remake, which again. Will result in a quick refund.
Please fix Diablo 2 so its JUST like Diablo 2. Removing character names/game chat lobbies/ and multi-player experience will again. Result in a quick refund.

Extremely disappointing. Without lobby and communication this game will be dead on launch. No point in buying.

But all they said was that they focused on the stability of the game until release, not that it wasn’t scheduled for after release. I understand the mistrust and it is normal that this leads to refunds on these platforms but do not make the developers say what they did not say
Charge or leap keep up with teleport? Are you joking?

Totally agree my friend
Do people just not read anymore?
He said no new features until AFTER launch. Which makes common sense, which is 200% the right thing to do. I mean, second to delaying the game surely.
I trust Rod Fergusson, VV, and Blizzard. Reveal Future Plans and take my money please.
Edit: for people saying “didn’t know Lobbies are new features” well newsflash: everything console is new feature.

This is just natural, the game comes out only in digital version, so the game can be interfered with all the time, all you need is a proper upd, its no problem
^^ This.
As I read the tweet it sounds like there was a feature freeze before launch. A stage in development where they had to stop development on certain features in order to make their release date. And that any features that were not on the list or not finished in time before the feature freeze would have to be worked on after launch.
We aren’t getting Ladders at launch for possibly the same reasons. It doesn’t mean we’ll never see Ladders or a Lobby on Consoles. Just that we won’t have it at launch
For Consoles the date of feature freeze would be before the release date given they have to be submitted to the online store of that particular console.

Cool. Still refunded and telling others to do the same.
I’ll buy when those things are actually in the game.
No ladders, no lobby/chat? Lol what a remaster.

Lol… hopefully it will never happen. How can anyone who liked D2 want that?

I see that.
I said from the very beginning that the devs want to do good, that they love Diablo and a fundamental fix post release is the second best option, very easy to implement with an all digital game in 2021.
On the other hand the way they crippled D2R for consoles in an almost insulting dumb down effort that destroyed the very basis of the D2 multiplayer experience, makes me NOT trust them on that until they made a clear commitment.
Thats what we need all the discussion, drama and preorder cancelling for now.
Too make them see the actually obvious: that there is no going on with their misguided ideas about console players and their broken party finder system.
Let alone the lack of text chat, what is almost an act of insanity in this game.
They have to understand that we need 1:1 PC lobbies and chat on console.

For what being said, i really hope they polished the game on console.
Lobby and chat hopefully can come later for now.
Afterall, will be playing mainly solo and with close friends when launch.

But it’s not positive. We have a far inferior version of the game [when compared to the PC version] with little to no hope of getting major issues fixed. What is positive about that?
This ^^^^.
Or, we can just say no thank you, ask for our money back and play games developed by devs who care about console players. PoE/GGG didn’t do a half hearted port of PoE to consoles. The console version of their game isn’t watered down and lacking a bunch of key critical infrastructure developments.
Unlikely, since all the major streamers (wudi, raxx, etc) don’t give a rats you know what about the console ports of Diablo. Wudi in particular was rather rude. I returned that favour by unfollowing him. Blizzard shouldn’t be listening to these guys anyway - they represent 0.000000000000000000000000000000000000000001% of the player base and their thoughts are IRRELEVANT.
Or, this is just to entice us to keep the game, then Blizzard doesn’t deliver post launch, and we’re out of pocket, with an inferior game, Blizzard has our money, and there’s nothing that can be done. I’m old enough to not be gullible or naive.
that is a good question. I thought the /player# option was a plugy thing though, not present in vanilla D2? Or, am I wrong?
money grab.
This ^^^^
Excellent idea!
that hasn’t worked out well for the D3 console community…we’ve been blatantly ignored, with what like 3 blue posts in 5 years? Remember the CR fiasco a few seasons back - no new CR for 3 weeks…3 weeks. PC had a problem with that first week’s CR, fixed within 2 hours. Consoles, nada…for 3 weeks. Poor communication and lack of action, and not listening to customer input and feedback doesn’t foster good relationships. Blizzard has all but ignored players when it comes to D3. What makes you think D2R will be any different?
if you are that confident, you keep your money and try and push for changes. If other players want a refund, don’t belittle us, we have our reasons and they are 100% valid and justified.
hear hear!
but other game devs for other games can do it. Are Blizzard’s devs inferior then?
That might be the case. Might being the operative word. We’re going on a trust basis with the devs and Blizzard. Blizzard’s track report for listening to console D3 players has been truly horrid. That doesn’t inspire confidence to me, and obviously, many other players. If you want to trust Blizzard, fine. If others don’t want to trust them, and want a refund, then let us do that. It’s our money.
PS the game should NEVER have been released to consoles “as is”. NEVER. If Blizzard thinks that the current release is acceptable to consoles, then they really do NOT understand their console customers. Imagine if this had been done on PC - the uproar would be massive. I feel that Blizzard thinks that they can get away with this kind of treatment of console players because we are a smaller player base.

Y’all are tripping.
This is 110% a straight up cash grab that will have next to zero support post launch calling it now.
