Action Bar for everyone

I would like to talk about the action bar, and more specifically its lack in the PC version (Mouse & Keyboard).
I totally understand nostalgia etc, but the optional classic / modern control version wouldn’t hurt anyone.
There was a post that in D2R there will be no “piano playing” but a modernized layout … so where is it?
I will answer myself on consoles and pads. And now let’s skip the arguments "because it was not like that 21 years ago":wink:.
Why is the port on the consoles so different in the basis of the control mechanics? And I guess that the pads had to adjust the controls so that the port was playable at all, but why at the cost of such a split in the feelings of the game.
Finally, the action bar should be the same option as eg Auto collect gold(on/off) … for everyone on each platform.
Let Diablo spread the terror for the next 20 years.

stupid people stupid complaints. dont look for more

Only stupid people I know can’t use basic punctuation. They also tend to hiss at others because they don’t have the IQ to articulate an intelligent argument.

nerd raging. when you’re so speechless that your only arguement is the grammar.

‘nerd raging’ hahaha. Says the guy having a fit over someone disliking Diablo 2: Nerdgineer Resurrected. Mate, are you even self-aware enough to know Diablo 2 is the nerdiest game in existence?

Yeah, I guess not.

Good luck with the grammer thing though - it goes miles when you’re trying to get a real job that frees you from mom’s basement.

Ok.
No because no.
Go play D3.
You weak and complain.
Yes, sure.
And any arguments? Because for now it comes out that
A: no
B: players on consoles and pads are “worse” / do not play “real” diablo
C: I still have the impression that this Big NO to any, even optional changes, is caused by fear … fear that you may like them😉

‘No because no, you weak and complain’ - hokey dokey, little guy.

PM me if you want to call me ‘weak’ in person. I would very much like to meet for a ‘coffee’.

So let me get this straight, he is suggesting/asking for the hotbar as option and you instantly try to insult him, because reasons ?

Yikes …

I completely agree with OP. There’s no reason the same action bar not be available for KB+M. Please Blizz, it would greatly improve the experience for some many players, and make things totally fair for poor Paladins whose Aura has to hog the RMB.

‘old ppl’… PM me dude, and tell me I’m an ‘old ppl’. No question I’m fitter, tougher and smarter than all you basement creeps. Don’t believe me? Again, PM. You geeky little gremlins, with your skeletal bodies, your greasy hair and your tiny little…tiny tiny ‘parts’, lets call them that… It’s laughable that you insult others and can’t even form basic punctuation.

You’re nerds. And no girls will ever look at you, touch you. No businesses will hire you because you think Diablo 2 is your job.

There are no skills in Diablo 2 that will make anyone want to hire you. So why would you boast about it???

Are you all going to play games for the rest of your lives and think to yourselves ‘I’m winning, I got that THING from a baal run’?

Ok.

I guess at least an option for it would be satisfieing for some, but it will affect the gameplay you know. D:

Of course an Actionbar for everyone.

There is a reason why every ARPG after Diablo 2 included one. Even Diablo 2 has one, but limited to only 2 spaces.

It’s in the game. Just give us the option. Many thanks in advance.

(There’s no reason to not give it to PC, none, not a single one)

All these babies screaming Diablo 3 when they have no argument. And all the time we’re just asking for features that are in Path of Exile, the gold standard of arpgs of this century :wink:

When the buffoon squad yell “go play D3” at you, just reply that they should go play the original D2 instead, which hasn’t gone anywhere and is still available for the purists who fear change. This is D2R, a completely different animal, and we should all rejoice in its ability to change and evolve with the times. It’s already taken some small positive steps, it just needs a few more like this one to really take off.

Case in point, my usual APRG group won’t touch it (other than 1 guy) just because it doesn’t have the controller-style skill bar for M+KB. If that option were added, that’s 3 more sales right there.

Yes, it’s not like Classic WoW which was simply not (legally) available before it’s relaunch.

Also, how come modern graphics and HD resolution are not bad? Doesn’t that make the game way easier and D3-like? I hope these people all play on classic graphics so they’re no hypocrites.
