Why is this game still worse than D2: LOD?

Hello Blizzard,

I’m sure this will fall on deaf ears, seeing as how your entire Dev team is smoking crack, but I’ll try nonetheless.

Why is Telekinesis still bugged 21 years later? Why does it sometimes take upwards of 5 casts to trigger a chest?
Why is Teleport still bugged 21 years later? Why is it when your mouse falls onto a chest (or any clickable object) that Teleport stops casting?
Why is it that when you die, gold is taken from the Shared stashes, but you can’t buy anything at vendors without gold in the personal stash?
Why is it that there is STILL no Charm inventory?
Why is it that the ebug is still in the game?
Why is it that skills automatically change from your right click for no apparent reason? No, it’s not my scroll, no it’s not my mouse, no it’s NOT AN ISSUE WITH MY PERIPHERALS.
Why is it that when you join a game, the game name is not saved on the join field?
Why is it that 21 years later the description field is still so small?
Why was the A3 walk changed to absolutely require you to collect all 3 organs + flail?
Why is it that 21 years later, XP thresholds are still bugged and you have to grind to level 25 to start gaining any meaningful XP in Chaos Sanctuary/Throne of Destruction?
Why is it that chat in-game is bugged for no reason and you can’t write from time to time? No, my online chat is not disabled.
Why is it that the D2R in-game chat/whisper system is WORSE than a 21 year old game, i.e. LOD?
Why is it that you STILL HAVE NOT ADDED A LOOT FILTER TO THE GAME?
Why is it that loading into the game TAKES FOREVER, regardless of what machine you’re running it on? Latest generation Ryzen+RTX 3080TI, 32GB RAM and an NVMe SSD running D2R loads into acts as fast as a machine running no GPU, just on-board, w/ 8GB RAM and massively outdated hardware?
Why?
Why?
Why?
Why?

And these are just the things I can come up with off the top of my head. Give me an hour and this list will be 10 times longer.

Care to elaborate?

@1st comment, since Blizzard’s site is as worse as their game, and it’s not obvious where the quote option is, nor am I able to edit a deleted comment (zero logical sense), I’m posting my reply to the first comment below:

Nonsensical.

That’s not a trade-off, that’s a flat out imbecile decision. LITERALLY NOBODY likes having to shove things in their cube to ID. Everyone wants to hack, slash and loot.

Try again.

This is/was a design choice, it was supposed to be a tradeoff between inventory space and non-equipment buffs, not a select-your-choice row for free buffs.

Nyne, you know it well. Good luck.

I agree :smiley: and i would also add :

Why there is still “oil” and “explosive” potion that nobody will ever pick in the game ?
Why in zone where you can take a curse there is sanctuary knowing that you will be insta cursed and remove the sanctuary buff ?
Why the stash dont have yet an “unique collection” tab ?
Why the stash dont have yet a “rune and gems” tab ?
Why runes and gems are still not stackable ?
Why to upgrade runes we need gems we never pick up ?
If there is no or will never be loot filter WHY there is no option to check with “hide scroll and potion if your book and belt are full” ?

Why still no-end game? e.g. Greater Rifts with leaderbaords?

I will tell you why, because Blizzard focus on Immortal and D4 for grabing money, money, money, money… with D2R no more money can be grabbed, all was already taken.

@Nukeblast - I’m really not sure what you’re talking about - since you’re mentioning D3, I guess that’s the game you’re playing. I doubt you know what I’m even talking about.

I think he meant to reply to Danutz23, the guy that just keeps coming to D2R forums, praising D3 systems and trying to get them into D2 aswell.

This game in itself has no point, there is not even real gameplay, how would there be endgame? It’s about the items, you continue because of the items, Brevik the game designer even said so, when asked what the point of the game is.

Whole game is made in a way to be highly addictive like crack, it’s like you’re already a billionaire but still continuing to play the slot machine for kicks. Essentially this whole game is nothing but casino play, with some makeshift ‘‘gameplay’’ added.

Make it so that the whole game consist of your character standing there with a mob spawning in front of it every few seconds that you then oneshot and people will still play it for drops I guarantee you.

Desperate enough to invest some time, sure. Who can become a hero? What does it take?

Why is it that the ebug is still in the game?

… Is it? I thought that was fixed.

The loading times are so high because everytime it loads all graphics, regardless of playing in legacy or resurrected graphics mode. I would like to see a pre-game option to toggle between these modes instead of always pressing G after entering a game and also the new resurrected graphics shall stop loading when the legacy option is selected. Nevertheless we at least have the option to load game data directly via -direct -txt commands instead of unpacking it which boosted my loading times a little.

There is a bug in legacy mode that really annoys me. Almost lost an item because of that. When clicking on chat text (upper left screen corner in legacy mode) its like clicking on the floor. So if you drag an item to another stash-tab and click on that tab while a chat message pops up, the item drops on the ground.
