But withholding the lobby system as well as ingame text chat from us, knowing that it will not only cripple but anihilate the traditional multiplayer experience is as misguided as it gets. Its NOT wrong to have an functional party finder IN ADDITION to lobbies to cater to casual newcomers. We are not challenged by plugging an usb keyboard into our PS4 or Xbox or by typing a few words with our controller! We are Diablo veterans of over 2 decades experience and love for the game here, but without modern gaming rigs or simply with an background as console players. Thats NOT what your average customer on console is or wants. Its clearly an effort to dumb down the lobby system to the assumed needs of the most casual new player that never ever played D2 but only console D3. Somewhere in the process that led to the party finder stood a grave misconception regarding the experiences and wishes of the console community. Its full of opportunities, perfect as it is for this game and must not be changed.Ģ.) The Party Finder - what was indended and why it doesnt work That is the system around which the Diablo 2 community developed for 21 years. You can just freely browse the whole world of D2 - sometimes with the help of a lower level character in normal or nightmare - and decide YOURSELF where you want to be. You can organize repeated runs with the same party: Ok, Baal is down - "Next:“baalz-012”. You can leave games and find back to them with another character: “I’ll get my lvl 91 sorc for this!” You can play with players far above or below your level and progress to help out or get help - an integral part of everyday D2 game culture. You can browse games and see who is in a game, which class, level, how many players - so you can join next to full games to easily create full parties and join whatever party you like. You have the freedom to specify a huge variety of things you want to do in game: different bossruns (baal runs etc.), cow runs, trading, help in lvl progression asked or offered and so on. Lobbies with the freedom to create, browse and join games are an very free and customizable environment that lets us do many things that have become an integral part of the D2 experience. Let me explain…ġ.) Why are lobbies so essential and fundamentally important? Now I’m one of many thousands of customers that are very concerned about the GAME BREAKING absence of fundamental functionalities of multiplayer D2 on console. As a Diablo player since about 1998/'99 I left PC gaming behind around 2014, at least when it comes to newer games and I was extremely happy when you announced the original, gameplay wise unchanged D2 experience with controller support for Playstation. And you did an outstanding job with this remaster so far - on PC. I’ve seen you guys in interviews and know that you genuinely love and care for Diablo 2. Xbox SERIES X/S / PS5 VERSION ( C O N S O L E) They're probably the most future-proof consoles ever developed, aside from the Xbox Series S which targets 1440p, I think. The new consoles are actually incredibly impressive from a technical perspective, particularly given the PC hardware in the era they were released in. The Series X has a slower solution that's still incredibly fast in its own right. The PS5 also has an extremely fast NVME drive built-in as well. Many games (at least on the Series X) also have 120fps modes for 120hz TVs. And one setting for 1080p 60fps with ray tracing. One setting for 4k 30fps with ray tracing. One setting for 4k 60fps without ray tracing. Spider-Man: Miles Morales, for example, has 3 different settings. One for frames and one for graphical fidelity. Interestingly, a lot of games have multiple settings now. Throttling is probably an issue at times, but the downclocking/downvolting should help a lot with that, in theory.Īs for 4k/60, that's obviously an ideal, and not all games get there, but an awful lot do. Nope, all the cores are in-tact unlike the PS4/XB1 days. I'm pretty disappointed I refunded but I can't play Diablo 2 solo. I got my fingers crossed they fix this problem. ****I refunded**** can't believe they gave me my money back. I hope this is just the beta and these will be there.I wanna ask for my money back from Sony but at same time I wanna roll the dice that these features will be there. Not being able to text what you want to people in the game is brutal too and will be very hard to work together as the game gets tougher, unless you play with just your friends with voice chat.īasically the best part about Diablo 2 is missing from consoles. no PVP or trade rooms anymore.No naming games for specific help or looking for certain items Without it we can't do Baal, Meph, Cow, MF runs. Right now, not being able to name created games is the biggest disappointment Why can't I name created games or join others created games? Game almost feels broken without these features Last updated at 14:00:17 UTC Weekly Help Desk RAGE Loot Thread Trade Thread
