Rod Fergusson just confirmed no chat or lobbies for console

Except that I am not. You really really really seem to be new here.

I do provide what information there is. I did not say lack of lobby was ok. In fact in other threads I bluntly said I am glad they were honest about it so that people can refund if that is what they want to do. I have provided links for PC refunds many many times as well.

I am not sure if you think I should be angry or something?

Since you are MVP and have been around for so long perhaps you could stand with the common people and REJECT THERE BEING NO LOBBIES OR CHAT FUNCTIONS IN D2R FOR CONSOLES

I already said that lack of a lobby is not good. Communication and game choice is critical to multiplayer support.

Again, you seem to want me to get angry and rant on the forums. That won’t help anything. It will change nothing. They are not putting Lobby in on Console for release date. Period. They were honest about that.

You can either refund it until they put in a Lobby or keep the game. Up to you. You can, and should, vote with your wallet.

Im looking at forums now, and every topic is only about consoles… and how Activision Blizzard messed up with the release. So many people beg to implement this BASIC feature (or at least any basic substitute), but developers just ignore their clients.

Forum Mod Edit: This post has been edited by a moderator due to masked language as it is in violation of the Code of Conduct. And yes, this qualified.

“not good” HOW ABOUT RUINS THE GAME?

Lashing out at the developers for their silliness is one thing, but it’s not cool to think you can just target anybody you think has to put up with your comments. The ignore feature still works great btw :wink:

Yes. I spent years answering Tech and Customer support questions for players to help them. That is why I am green, and have been since 2013. If you think answering player questions is bad, that is up to you. I happen to like helping out and making sure folks have the information that is available.

So no chat on consoles mean we wouldn’t be able to use “players X” command as well even in single player mode?

MissCheetah makes it her job to quiet down the dissent and sugar coat everything. We want change!!! We want chat, lobbies, and Keyboard & mouse support for consoles! No exceptions

Was easy to me but took me 1 hour to talk with agent lol

There is no sugar here. You won’t get lobby or K+M on console release. Fact. Hard fact. No amount of yelling will change that.

IF you get it, it will be after release. Make your purchase decisions based on those facts.

That is quite the opposite of sugar. It is what you don’t want to hear.

And what about cross progression ? I hope it not implemented, progress can’t be shared between clients that have very large gap in possibilities.

MissCheetah-1661 IF EVERY console PLAYER was to REFUND their copy of D2R for console right now. Things would change REAL QUICK

Cross progression will be implemented. That is already a feature in the game on Console and PC.

Cross play between platforms on the other hand is not.

Also, any regional locks on playing with friends on the same platform were beta only. Those will not persist for release. So Americas PS players can play with friends in EU for example.

Not in the amount of time between now and launch it won’t. Especially for consoles. Remember, for console patches at least a week of lead time is required for vetting and getting clearance to push it to the XBL or PSN CDN. No getting past that. Now, for full game releases, the lead time is even greater. Depending on whether you’re a big company or an indie developer, lead time is typically two weeks minimum up to a full month. Assume ~2 weeks here.

That’s September 23 minus 14 days, or a release build dated no later than September 9th. Do you honestly think they’re going to get anywhere near done with any feature not originally planned for launch in that short a window?

I’ll give you a hint: No.

So if everyone refunded, it wouldn’t change a thing other than potentially pushing the launch date for console back, potentially by a couple of months. And given that cross-progress (switching between console to console and/or console to/from PC) is a major selling point, delaying console launch dates is a Very Big Thing™ and is something they intend to avoid at all costs.

UMM BLIZZARD SHOULD HAVE BEEN ADDING LOBBIES TO CONSOLES ON DAY 1 WHEN THEY STARTED THIS PROJECT NOT MY FAULT IF THEY DONT HAVE MUCH TIME LEFT now. LOOKS LIKE THEY ARE GOING TO NEED TO DEVOTE SOME TIME TO THESE NESSECARY CHANGES

ADD THE LOBBIES!!!
ADD CHAT!!!
ADD Keyboard & Mouse!!!

Don’t leave behind the consoles players. WE deserve a great game too

Already know the lobbies missing is absolutely disgusting made my opinions on that quite clear.

One more question. Have they been stupid enough to add insult to injury and make ladders cross between PC and consoles so that PC players have a major advantage with grouping and trading so can progress quicker, or will we on console get our own ladder so at least we playing on a fair playing field?

Please don’t tell me they made this second mess up too, no company can be that bad?

No worries bro, you can wait first. There are no harm waiting to be frank.

I dont plan to cancel order cause i know what i am paying for and i am sure i will be having a good time with whatever feature it has now as per beta experience.

Just so you’re informed, if you continually post all caps posts, a moderator that scans this thread may decide you’re not adding anything useful to the discussion and nuke your posts. Lay off the caps lock. “Yelling” gets you nowhere and makes you look extremely childish. When used properly it can make for very visible emphasis. When it’s all you use, you look like a fool.
