No, the lack of skill bar is a problem, because you can’t cast with the keyboard.
As of current, you swap with the keyboard, but cast only with the mouse.
It hurts my fingers…
It’s not because the game as no skillbar you can’t fast cast , it’s just the mouse attribution to cast , it’s 2 differents issues
I like the redundancy. I can’t tell you how many times I tapped a hotkey and the ability went off without my intending it too. I don’t mind clicking to confirm the cast.
That’s fair. Even though I don’t play Amazon… ever, he still looks like a 55 year old baseball coach. The Assassin still looks like Shang Tsung.
No doubt an anti-piracy move that we all suffer for. They didn’t want people cracking it and circumventing Bnet. Annoying yes, but unlike some I barely ever remember using this feature.
I’m sure they saw this as a redundant security issue. If they allowed graphical injections what else could wrapper be used for? The game was already mainly about graphical fidelity. Not a huge deal breaker for me personally. Also, while my GPU sits at 70C the whole time, I can’t deny this title makes the card scream.
I feel you but at the same time,
“Classic gameplay just as you remember it, preserved.” Isn’t going to allow the game to play exactly like D3. Sorry.
Okay.
I agree that they are not faithful recreations. However, they are not static. The way that they move, sway, giggle, that is something I hadn’t expected. I’m not a big fan of the changes, but the quality of the new meshes is top notch!
If, indeed, Blizzard is going to support mods for this game, I can see NexusMods coming up with some truly extraordinary gear! This is entirely possible, as it can run on your system, without the rest of the world seeing it.
Think big, or go home. Any remaster of this game is an improvement.
Sorry, but we won’t miss you.
Agreed. character models is… just another humans, another races… For me - it’s bad, for you idk, u choose. It force me to switch graphics and look at my character in classic settings.
you literally can only use right click or left click, 2 skills at a time. You can have a melee skill on theleft, and an Aura on the right, or a melee on the left, different melee on the right or 2 spells… ect
Is it outdated? I dont know, maybe? But its Diablo 2, and this remaster is and I quote “Sticking TRUE to Diablo 2”
Right, thats why their are hot keys. Please research the game further before complaining about things, or alteast ask how to play more efficient vs ordering things be changed. You will get a much better reception.
It wouldn’t affect gameplay… unless your understanding of gameplay is RSI, carpal tunnel, drinking pills to heal your tendons and so on…
This continues to be just as stupid as the first time you said it. I don’t use two skills. I use many skills. It’s just that I don’t see them constantly, so I do swap them… at the cost of keypresses, not resources or something like that to call it a game mechanic.
What’s the game mechanic in only being allowed to cast with just the mouse?
It’s not a feature. It’s something they didn’t think through or a technical limitation from back in the day.
And the clear proof is, that when Brevik released his game, it had modern interface.
Stop trolling and BSing.
You can’t have aura on the left…

Just keep showing your ignorance, have you even played the game for longer than the Beta?
YOU CAN ONLY HAVE 2 SKILLS ACTIVATED AT A TIME.
1 FOR RIGHT CLICK, 1 FOR LEFT CLICK.
In order to use a third skill, you must replace one of those skills, via hot key, mouse wheel, or manually going into the Skill Tree and choosing one you have points in…
Do you get it now or is your Casual brain just unable to comprehend that you cant have 5 skills activated at once, as your over cluttered imgur shows.
Out of the two of us, I am the only one talking D2, I think you are talking D3, that game can cast with the hot key, correct?
So take your own quote’s advice, please.

Reverse that. my hasty mistake.
I mean, yes, it would. What part of altering how you input commands wouldn’t change gameplay? Your definition is much narrower than mine I guess.
You can’t activate skills at the same time period, unless one is an aura.
I find it funny how you call me casual.
I also find it funny how you keep insisting, that this is a mechanic.
You’re conveniently not addressing, that Brevik had modern interface in Marvel Heroes, a game which for all intents and purposes was a Diablo clone. Any thoughts?
Because D3 is the only game with a hotbar, that ever existed. No game prior to D3 had a hot bar, and no game after it will… Lol…
And no, what I’m suggesting would not affect gameplay. You wouldn’t be able to have multiple skills cast at once. Only one paladin aura would be active (not counting merc and item auras, talking about active skills).
It would not affect you, as it would be something optional.
You’re also conveniently not paying attention to the recent blogpost, that spoke about accessibility and modernization. Pointing out, that the interface doesn’t fit neither criteria is not me trolling or BSing, but rather pointing out the obvious.
Right, that is what I keep telling you, yet you want a hotbar with more than 2 skills on it…
Dude… this game is not an e-sport, where something like that would matter.
Also, why does it matter if I’m allowed to cast my Bone Spear or Corpse Explosion with a button on the keyboard and not with the freaking mouse?
You’re joining on arguing for the sake of arguing… and again, conveniently ignoring:
- Brevik had modern interface in his Diablo clone of a game, meaning, that he clearly doesn’t see the archaic system as some sort of game defining mechanic.
- That Blizzard are claiming, that they are going for accessibility, and not having anything practical to reduce the strain on one’s fingers.
And I’m still find it it rather laughable, that people who talk as if they are veterans don’t take into account, that we’re aging and not getting any younger.
Yes, and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that.
But you refused to answer the question for the Gazillionth time (pun intended), because it wouldn’t fit you’re narrative. Welcome to the list of people I wont be communicating with anymore.
Uh, dude. I suppose you feel the same way about swapping from ffa loot to personal loot, because it’s not an esport or anything right?
We’re going to have to agree to disagree here, I think we have different standards on what constitutes meaningful “gameplay”.
Surely your standard is not more meaningful than that of Brevik.
Answer my question about Brevik’s game, or join Reventant.

That’s fair, also, it’s a remaster and the players wanted the authenticity because it allows for the “feeling” they’re looking for. So, your point is entirely irrelevant.
-
Accessibility in this sense does not take priority over the first point.
This game was remastered flaws and all, with the intent that the art and graphical update would make the player feel as if they were playing the original LoD.
I’ve played David Brevik’s modern titles and the Schaefers. They were right to update their mechanics, but D2R set out with the sole goal to be authentic.
So ultimately, what you’re saying has no legs.
Refunded and still discussing. What are you still doing here? 
Time to say good bye bro

o you think that open beta will have some patches there?
That’s either very dumb, or very dishonest answer… especially when taking into account the character models and the shared stash.
If you’ve ever been on on areat summit, you’d probably be familiar with this:
“Storage space is limited in Diablo II both for performance and storage space issues and because the designers wanted players to make decisions as to which items to keep and which items must be thrown away or sold.”
You are saying, that " D2R set out with the sole goal to be authentic".
You are also speculating, that the 2 skill slots on the interface was a mechanic.
The D2 devs are flat out telling you (rather than a speculation), that having low space for items is deliberate… a mechanic if you will.
So, you should be opposed to the shared stash as well, because having a small stash is a mechanic and the sole goal for D2R is to be authentic (clearly not the case).
Now, try and reconcile with your… stupidity or dishonesty, I care not which is it… and by the time you figure things out, it wont matter, because I’ll never read it.
Bye. Say “Hi” to Revenant for me.
