Private profiles have no place in a game like this, I can’t understand the reasoning behind adding them. Do people make their profiles private so they can’t get reported? What’s there to hide, we all should have access to the same items, no?
It also isn’t productive that there’s no way to inspect skill trees, paragons, and the rest of the player’s account like other characters and achievements like in Diablo 3. I am continuously amazed how a game from 14 years ago continues to have more features than the next installment.
You really care that much about not being able to see someone else’s gear? As far as reporting, I don’t see how private profile prevents you from reporting a player.
everyones personal preference. You can leave your profile open if you chose to.
other question, why do you want to sniff around in other peoples builds? Why should people that compete with you, give you information on their setup? Makes no sense at all.
Let’s go one further: Make users profiles available from this forum like it is on the Diablo 3 forum. There are a lot of smack talkers on this forum who clearly suck at the game. Adding profiles to the forum would let people know who has crediability and who is talking out their a$$…
Why stop there, let’s open up remote viewing 24/7 of all profiles in game and on forum when active in game, including view access to system monitors on the system running the profiles. Processes can be hidden so raw memory access would be needed to.
Unless you know the person well, nothing short of this will give the answers people seek.
The game doesn’t even have a damage meter to try to obfuscate the likely wild difference in damage contribution from groups/nearby players.
There’s no real point in you being able to see another person’s profile other than being nosey/judgmental. If they don’t want you to see their build you don’t get to see it. Oh well.
Hmm this sounds like it’s for another reason, and not a good one.
It’s feels like the need to see K/D ratios in fps games. Just seems like there’s a sinister motive behind this. I mean don’t we have maxroll site for checking on gear no need to look at others.
Agh feeling like diablo immortal where people were complaining that you can;t see players win rates anymore.
I’m guessing mine is still private going back to S0. I changed it after the second know it all in a few hours started telling me what I needed to change on my character.
If it’s like D3, as someone suggested, you can see how many characters, builds, and paragon levels they’ve played, so knowing all that, you can judge whether they actually play the game, know the game, or just talk.
