    Doing a "remaster" of an old game and manage to somehow **** it up ? Well Blizzard doesn't disappoint us once again. Selling a game that just needed a remaster (no new story line or mode or anything) at full price, and managing to have their servers crash every 3 hours ? That's talent boys.

    But hey, they solved the issue. Now you have 15 minutes queue everytime you connect because there

    If you can't connect, you can't be disconnected. Smart move

    Сервера на плейстейшн постоянно падают. И всю субботу сервер лежит вообще без движения, спасибо Близам, весь день на смарку

    I don't play very many games anymore, but wanted in on the D2 nostalgia. I've heard some criticisms about the changes from original, but the direction the remaster went is good.

I now remember some of the aspects of the game that were annoying, but it is faithful to what the gameplay originally was.

    However, the implementation of the game has serious flaws and bugs. A score of 0 is entirely earned. Launch day was absolutely horrendous, giving me flashbacks of D3. I could only get an hour of game play on launch day. At this point there have been two patches put out, but the game constantly crashes on my 3-year old XPS laptop. The game just crashed 10x in a row trying to load into Act V town. I've tried every possible iteration to no avail, including all difficulties, creating a game, joining a game, loading into Act V from a different Act, etc. Not being able to do Baal runs is game breaking.

    I've also had my Dell recovery BIOS scan and fix disk corruption issues after several D2 crashes yesterday. The game is clearly not ready and may even damage/corrupt your hard drive. Under normal circumstances, I'd say that is enough to qualify for a refund.

    Update: Three weeks into launch and I'm still having problems getting my characters to show up. I do not have confidence that the game will be running smoothly any time this year.

    Update: I just spent over 30 minutes looking at the login queue and still don't have access my online characters. Why was this game released? It was never ready. I realize that they are trying to fix the problems, but the game is still barely playable even weeks after launch. Launching a non-working product should be grounds for a mass-refund campaign.

    A piece of crap. Servers are down for hours every single day (INCLUDING WEEKENDS, WHEN MOST PEOPLE HAVE TIME TO PLAY!! The RNG is bugged compared to original D2, another piece of big crap.
    This is really far from the original D2. Visually it is really cool, but in every other aspect, well... not even close.

    Update:
    Now they fixed the server issues!! So every time you want to login to the game, you need to sit 30mins (average, could be even an hour) in a queue waiting for the system to let you in, then between every game you want to play, also need to wait 30 seconds. JUST LOL

    Well 0 because we just can't play it.
    40 bucks for a game that queue you for more that 1 hour to crash after 10 min of play and then 1 more hour in queue. On console you juste have serveur errors and can't even play (and you pay for the game and the online on console...)

    Gameplay is still fun and updated graphics look nice, but absolutely not worth buying with all of the technical issues. Servers down for a large chunk of time 6 days straight (some days over 5 hours), AVX issues at launch, now a 30+ minute login queue…

    Купил, начал играть, получил удовольствие, а потом начались отвалы сервера. Ладно бы разовая акция или плановая, но в течение целой недели, как по часам, падение на 6-8 часов днем, в пик онлайна, когда всем удобно играть после работы или на выходном. И что сделали Близы? Верно - целую неделю приносили извинения, но ситуацию так и не решили. Спустя неделю - о чудо! был найден корень проблемы и найдено "решение"! Внезапно выяснилось неочевидное - оказывается, игра то старая. И код игры старый. И вообще - игроки сами виноваты. Ведь в игре про фарм игроки, какая неожиданность, ФАРМЯТ. Перезапускают игровую сессию и снова фармят. А игроков оказалось много (какая неожиданность)!
    И какое решение придумали Близы - а сделаем ка очереди на сервер, которая длится по полчаса и выше. А если не хотите сидеть в бессмысленном ожидании - играйте ОФЛАЙН! Как будто я ради офлайна и покупал двадцатилетнюю игру с онлайн режимом за 40 баксов! Ха-ха!
    А по факту - просто сэкономили на серверах, мол через пару-тройку месяцев само собой все рассосется и проблема исчезнет, когда некоторая часть игроков сама уйдет из игры после прохождения игры на Норме.
    P.S. Место ожидания в очереди 358.

    Game doesn't work at all.
    Servers are always down.
    For the few hours a day when they are not down the game crashes, you are not able to create or join games or you have hours long queue. They destroyed Warcraft III with reforged and now they destroyed Diablo II with resurrected. Blizzard is pretty much just a troll company at this point.

Never have I experience such a failure of a game launch with little hope of actual resurrection. This game is losing players and die-hard blizzard fans by the day. There is just too much worry about when trying to play. What if it freeze in a mob of monsters and crash, just to come back and see my body is gone and I lost experience, valuable items, or even my HC char. Happens. What if I crash and now I have to wait over 30minutes in a queue to get back online? Happens. The only thing not happening is the ability to login, play, and enjoy. If I could go back in time and not buy this game I would. Expand

    I can't use the game I bought (again) for 40 EUR for 8th consecutive day because the deves haven't thought that 20 year old multiplayer code might need a bit of revamp before releasing to production. Seriously? Ever heard of stress testing before release?

    Diablo II: Resurrected is far from perfect. The changes in character design are likely to rile up returning players, and the archaic gameplay probably won’t agree with younger generations weaned on more streamlined, sophisticated experiences. While I appreciate that this legendary title is now available in an improved format, it’s not a caveat-free recommend.

    Diablo II returns with refreshed graphics and unaltered gameplay (apart from some small improvements). It’s as fun as I remembered, so I quickly felt at home and gave in to nostalgia. However, it’s hard not to notice that beneath revamped visuals lies a 21 years old design. [12/2021, p.32]
