Cant download PTR - i bought D4 trought Steam and have linked steam with battlenet

Why Steam users cant acces PTR? We paid same cash in steam than in battlenet.

I just purchased in steam to avoid compatibility problems i had with d2r playing with my Steam deck.

If i would have known i wouldnt have acces to PTRs i would have never bougjt trought steam. I like more playing PTRs than regular seasons. In d3 i just have played many PTRs on many seasons.

U got acces to more gear without farming so much, u can test many builds, and there is also PTR ladders.

If you just bought it on Steam for PTR, just ask for refund and re-buy it on Battle.net. As to why, you’d have to ask Blizzard.

Agreed get a refund from Steam as the PTR is only available through Battle.net.

gl getting the game refunded , when u played for hours and bought it months ago

blizz just need to add the PTR as DLC on steam same as HD textures

The problem asking for a refund is lossing my chars.
If i can save all my chars and progression i will ask for a refund and buy the game on battlenet.
But i dont wanna play campaign again!

your character will transfer as d4 is cross platform. so wont loose any progress. As long you link the same account used.

p.s. they mention looking into making ptr available to other platform in future if they can.

What are you on about? There absolutely aren’t leaderboards for PTR.

Now when i log d4 , as steam is connected with battlenet i can see all my battlenet friends list when i play d4.

But on battlenet when i log and i go games i dont got d4 bought.

If i buy d4 on battlenet i will be able to continue with same chars i got on steam?
Are u sure of this? Its not gonna be a new battlenet account?

And second question: asking for a refunding on steam of a game i purchased months ago and i have played more than 300 hours is gonna be accepted? The reason is legit , i got less features than battlenet, is diferent that waht was advertised!!!

no. you got a refund time window of 2 weeks, if you played less than 2 hours.

you didnt buy a “PTR”. You bought diablo 4. a ptr was never advertised for the game.

on the current ptr they cleary said its only accessible for PC Battlenet users.

what? i have d4 bought on steam and i still have d4 on my battlenet account

Did u buy game 2 times? One in battlenet and another time in steam?

Or u just bought game on steam, but u have it also on battlenet with steam linking feature to battlenet?

no

yes , so thats why is on my account i guess :smiley:

u kinda forced to link it isnt? no other way to play.

semantics lol , we are battlenet users too , like i said u cant play D4 w/o having a bnet account .

maybe next ptr is avaliable for steam users too , test servers on steam are pretty common , usually labeled as “DLC” , so optional to download like HD textures.

Lol don’t worry OP you have plenty of time to be an unpaid tester on the live servers.

considering they didnt plan to have PTRs at all im surprised this is an issue, didnt you buy the game expecting not to have a ptr like we all did.

i do think they need to add PTR on steam they clearly didnt plan to have them as stated so its more than likely they have the structure in place for PTRs on battlenet already and just havent added one for steam yet, if enough request it maybe they will do it, but it would need to be a seperate game to steam which means they will have to pay more for it. they cannot do the beta option as it would replace the base game and most wouldnt want that.
