Listen - we’re used to being the unloved, red-headed stepchild of the player base. The PTR is PC exclusive, couch co-op testing is probably extremely limited internally. Some of the bugs we’re dealing with have been reported since launch. We get it, we’re the sub-fraction of a fraction of console players.
But this season we can’t even properly play together anymore because kills do not count for both players. We’re cannibalising kills from one another, with whoever is momentarily faster gaining far more kills and advancing in level much faster - giving another advantage at nabbing more kills. And this is after doing the seasonal quest that is just broken for co-op players, as the transformation into the butcher only works for one person.
Season 12 actively penalizes co-op players.
This is a short season. Please let the expansion launch be better than this.

Definitely an issue both for leveling and season

Seems like nobody tests coop since most of the bugs are still present years after being constantly reported like necro minions for player 2 not being able to be resummoned (when they don’t teleport along so you get stuck with 0 minions but the game thinks you’re full up and pulls out the priest) or the constant UI focus issues you can clearly see happening within the first 5 minutes of a fresh game or chests only being interactable by the first player doing so (e.g. the azmodan chest last season)
This season really takes the cake with the focus on kill streaks but not counting for both though. Can’t play minion necro as supporter because it’s useless when the minons disappear to Narnia and with a strong class I ruin my wife’s kill streaks. Absolutely weird how it seems like there’s nobody testing the core fundamentals of main mechanics before releasing the season.
This is the only game my wife likes to play and it’s getting harder and harder for her to cope with how broken it gets update after update. Please don’t let it die.

Like most new mechanics that get rolled out, couch co-op was not taken into consideration.
