Diablo 2 Resurrected - Road to Launch

Thread: Diablo 2 Resurrected - Road to Launch
Game Of The Year
Lots of network issues so far. Rolled a new online character, finished Den of Evil quest, saved+quit, came back later to find my character progress had been somehow rolled back to before the Den. Tried going through the Den again and I got a "connection interrupt" error that booted me back to the menu screen, with basically no progress saved. They've got some server issues to iron out here for sure.

Damn, that's annoying. No way to play multiplayer (even locally) with offline characters, too, right?

Hope they figure out this network stuff soon, because otherwise it seems like a pretty great update (some strange art choices aside).
 
I think they might have added a setting or two beyond what they had in the beta because wow this game is stunning. This might be the best looking remaster I've ever seen.

I can't believe Blizzard fucked up another online Diablo launch though. I couldn't get Online to work so I made an Offline character and enjoyed that for a bit. Hoping to really dive into it tonight but from what I understand even Offline might ironically have connection issues.

I'm rolling with a Druid for playing with my wife and a Necromancer for solo online play. Had a few hiccups with the servers, but overall I was able to get through Act 1 on both characters. I did have an interesting occurrence where the trade channel started working, but it was the same 2-3 people talking like they were in the same game with each other. Not sure if I was accidentally seeing the chat from another game or they were just the only people talking in trade.

And my first offline character was deleted. Hope it doesn't happen with the next one, I'm almost done with Act 1.

We had to switch our server to Europe on the game page on Battle.net. Was pretty smooth after that but hard to believe we couldn't play online in our own region. Cold War had a great launch night, you would have thought Activision Blizzard would be better about this.
 
Got a sorc to about 12 or 13, last night. I really like how it feels on controller so far. Had some rubber banding but that was my only network issues.

Haven't even tried it on controller. Didn't realize that was an option, tbh. Will have to check it out.
 
I can't log in any character and supposedly my Necromancer is online in a game already. Not surprising coming from an indie company, but this is a pretty rough launch.

Potions take some getting used to but having skills without having to hotkey everything is nice.

You're right, controller actually works really well (playing with a barb). Glad you made mention of it because I think it's how I'll be playing going forward.

I'm super confused on how the the belt filling works.

Sometimes it lets me use potions in my inventory and other times I gotta go and fill it.

No clue.

I was just talking about this to my wife. You're totally right, sometimes it does it auto and other times leaves it empty. 🤷‍♂️

Only things I can think of it lets you auto pull from your inventory if it's the same size. So late game it would be far less picky because there's only one size.

Played way too long yesterday. Got to Diablo with my Paladin and Tal Rashs Tomb with my Sorc. Think I am going with a auradin paladin for when i play with my buddy whos a necro and my Sorc will be my solo character.

Pretty good remaster as long as they figure out their servers. I lost two hours of progress yesterday which included finding a rune I really needed. The fact thats just gone is unacceptable. Fix your shit Blizzard.

Yeah, just noticed I lost a couple hours of progress myself. What rune you lose out on? If I have an extra I can throw it your way.

Was my first Nef rune. I eventually did get it last night finally but it would have made my life a lot easier up to that point. :cautious:

Oh, well at least it wasn't a top tier rune. I'd lose my shit if Zod dropped and then Blizzard "oops"'d it out of existence.

Oh yeah, nothing I couldn't find again if I would have farmed a bit but I really wanna get outta normal.
 
How well.does this run on the switch if someone wanted to play it portable, or is it so bad that better off just sucking it up and buying for PS5?

I am just waiting for my Switch download to finish now as I pretty much want to just play this on handheld so I can let you know probably.

Seems like the kind of game that I'd rather play on Switch.

These guys seem to think it runs pretty well.

Looks like a solid port! I enjoyed playing Diablo III on Switch quite a bit.

Ya read good things and got it on switch, having alot of fun, miss all the quality of life features you get with a keyboard buy that its portable
 
I want it on a physical Switch cartridge with that glorious down-rezing and physics-heavy framerate slowdown, with local same-screen multiplayer.

Otherwise I'll just keep spinning up D3 characters on my Switch copy 🤷‍♀️

Is this game broken?! I can't find single person online to play with and apparently all the console versions are having a similar problem where no one can find other players and when making a new game, no one ever joins, it's BS.

Yes, I heard the console versions' online lobbies are completely broken and people pretty much play solo self-found. PC lobbies have a lot of issues but at least they're working.

Is this game still irreparably broken? I was playing solo online until my friends would be ready to join me. You know, just getting through the first playthrough. Then the online queue appeared and I said screw it -- I wasn't going to wait for up to 40 minutes to start my solo online game.

I feel so ripped off on this game. I was enjoying it, but there is something hugely wrong with how they are handling this. I definitely feel owed a refund for what amounts to a broken experience.
 
I was gona buy this day one, but read about the problems and decided to wait. Kinda have forgotten it by now tbh.
