Most probably.isnt microsoft buying this company? if so wont this game just be on gamepass?
Ladder was promised for late January, and since the release week the multiplayer with randoms broke on consoles and never was fixed. I want to believe they didn't abandoned this game, but looks like they did (and that, if true, would be a shame, the game is awesome)Honestly, despite the initial server issues many users experienced, this is an extremely faithful and enjoyable remaster. I really wanted to skip it because of the Activision Blizzard scandals, but D2 is one of my all time faves. So the moment I heard Microsoft was buying the company, I picked it up and it's so good. Can't wait for ladder to be added in the next month or two. I hope Microsoft cleans house and pulls the weeds so I can feel less guilty about purchasing the game and eventually getting D4.
Haven't played with randoms, but I've had zero issues playing with friends. Ladder testing is going on right now apparently. Haven't played in a couple weeks, but I guess it dropped with patch 2.4 on March 2nd.Ladder was promised for late January, and since the release week the multiplayer with randoms broke on consoles and never was fixed.

Yeah I understand the Activision-Blizzard hate, but this really is their best release in years, and that's because it was developed almost entirely by Vicarious Visions. It plays incredibly well on a controller, better even than KB+M. The netcode though, that I can believe was done exclusively by ActiBlizzard staff lmao.I have about 300 hours in D2R and I have to say, its a faithful remaster and they did a fantastic job. Ladder is starting soon, which is great because the game is a ghost town. Get it on the cheap and join ladder when it starts
What did they censor?I wont play this, its not even worth pirating or for a free trial.
not even because of any issues that may or may not exist with blizzard/activision but because of the censorship in the game.
its suppose to be a remaster (so a one to one copy other than improved graphics/quality of life Improvements of what existed) also its a M rated game and there the former diablo community manager confirmed they were under no obligation to censor any 3 of the diablo games.
this is from someone who has otherwise bought every blizzard game (heck even multiple D2 copies back in the day, to trade with myself)
Get Woke Go Broke Blizzard
minor things overall but its the principle.What did they censor?
That sucks. I almost considered buying it at one point last week. Western devs and their aversion to anything remotely sexy is really grating to me lately.minor things overall but its the principle.
uglified the female characters (Willem Dafoe Amazon is probably the worst example) covered up any of there risque clothing, sideboob on the sorceress, any full topless characters etc.
got rid off the dead harem girls and changed the explanations for the quest in Act2, covered up bare chested statues in some crypts
oh and the dwarf server guy from the cinematic they not only took away his smarmy dialog that showed distain towards Marius, but also rather than his proportions looking like a person suffering from dwarfism they just shrunk a otherwise normally proportioned human.
you know because a minority like a person suffering from dwarfism can't be a jerk and look not "Normal" especially since he dies in the end it would be ableist if he looked accurate.
just to name a few, like I say tons of little minor things, but since there job was to have none, it would be immoral for me to not hold them accountable for as much as i can as a single long time fan.
A few years later, but sure.isnt microsoft buying this company? if so wont this game just be on gamepass?
