What a joke of a release. Like props to the artists but the actual release is shit. Server issues constantly, less functionality, less reliability. Straight up cash grab money hungry shit. Nonfunctional communications, it's a pretty big wash. Not saying Vicarious Visions didn't put out a solid client when they had to, more so activblizzard is making the same exact mistakes as the company that first acquired d2 did. SAD to see a classic game get RIPed so hard. VV implied in some statements they'd actually like to work on the game but it seems like their boss sucks ass and I don't doubt it
I played Diablo 2 for like 4 years until I realized that I was just throwing a slot machine and that playing the game wasn't unto itself its own reward, and then I felt incredibly manipulated by Blizzard, and I've never stopped feeling salty and vindictive about it ever since.
