Sadly i dont see anywhere where he confirms console lobbies is being looked at, all he says is let’s get to launch then we discuss next updates… so who knows how long that’ll even be to wait

Blizzard just posted about this actually:

Official Update on Console Lobbies, TCP/IP and UW just posted by a blue (PezRadar)

Are these all confirmed changes? Some of the context leans towards recommendations.

Yes all of these are 100% confirmed changes. I am actively updating the OP on the Blizzard forums as more news comes in. Re-check there later for more updates.

Good deal. I've been spared the leg-work of googling what changes were coming. Thanks for doing the work for me.

Of course. I did this because im going insane waiting for launch and have nothing else to do. (2 weeks, 2 days, ~2 hours to go)

Anything official on WSG and Ebug "fixes" done on purpose?
Could be a mistake when trying to fix other things to get the beta rdy in time?

Appreciate all the time you put into this list!

I appreciate your thanks. Totally didn't already have this made for myself and posted it later. I have a life, how dare you. :bouncy:

Nothing official, i am also waiting on word for this to add as an update. They removed WSG before and re-added it due to backlash, i don't see why it wouldn't be the same scenario this time?

Honestly there is most likely a big-ass list of bug changes that we all need to be aware of before launch. js

Thank you. I am actually actively updating the OP in the blizzard forums. Check back there for current updates. I check like 10 times a day. Maybe.

PS. Added a poll asking how everyone feels about the changes. Please let me know, thanks.

1. Auto Gold Pick-up - Good QOL
2. Advanced Stats Screen (Shows total FCR, LL, Magic Find ext) - Good QOL
4. Stash size increased to 10x10 + Added 3 more Shared Tabs. - Good QOL
3. Gamble Refresh Button + Item no longer disappears when buying multiple of the same type. - Good QOL
5. Cow King Kill Causing Lock-out Removed - Neutral but leaning towards Good
6. Ability to link items in the chat window to show other players. - Good QOL
7. No game creation limit. (do limitless pindle-runs! :exploding_head:) - Good QOL
8. New Battlenet System. (consoles need lobbies still) - Good QOL; Some additional things would still be nice.
9. No character expiration. (20 character limit *hopefully* won't be max on launch) - Good QOL, 20 character limit is fine, you have the option to buy another account if it bothers you that much.
10. Ladder-Only Unique Items Unlocked for Single Player + Non-ladder - Would prefer to have ladder at launch but this is the next best alternate TBH, I personally don't believe this will have any major impact on the game.
11. Ladder-Only Runewords + Cube Recipes Unlocked for Single Player + Non-ladder - Would prefer to have ladder at launch but this is the next best alternate TBH, I personally don't believe this will have any major impact on the game.
12. "Endgame" Events Unlocked for Single Player. - Good QOL
13. Playable on Xbox, PS, Switch *with* cross-progression. - Meh, Never would I imagine people playing D2 on Console.
14. Global servers (No US East/West forcing you to re-create. Simply switch regions before lanch to play with anyone on PC) - Good QOL, however more people to compete with on each ladder so we shall see how the economy is.
15. More Details for Mercenary abilities - Good QOL
16. Hold shift to compare items to equipped (no recommendations, just shows items side by side) - Good QOL
17. Enable loot drop names to be up all the time instead of holding Alt. - Good QOL
18. Ctrl click items into stash instead of drag & drop - Good QOL
19. WSG and Ebug Removed (clearly if these are changed there is going to be a list of others soon.) - Each Bug can be debated for Pros and Cons, But i prefer them to keep the bugs in the game.
20. Unique Appearance of all items now show properly on your character when equipped. - Good QOL
21. Character selection screen has ultra close-up of your character + A Detailed back-drop of current Act for increased immersion. (underrated addition) - Good QOL
22. Wide-screen Support up to 19:9 (removal of black-bars while zoomed-in possible compromise) (control zoom while holding F + Mouse wheel.) - Don't care, doesn't affect me because I prefer 2k 144 monitor over widescreen.
23. More Accessibility Options (controller support, change text size, colorblindness, etc) - Good QOL
24. TCP/IP removal (Lame. maybe brought back in a future patch?) - Good for the game, removes a lot of security issues. Modders can Mod Original D2
25. Increased overall map visibility. (comparison video: https://youtu.be/JUZkCIRT09U) - Good QOL
26. Completely New Graphics Engine with Remastered Cinematics and Sounds (obvsly) - Good QOL
27. Optional toggle for "Miss" text to appear on monsters for better combat feedback. - Good QOL

why are you neutral about the cow king lockout? lol. Seems like a weird thing to not be in favor of.

Good QOL, 20 character limit is fine, you have the option to buy another account if it bothers you that much.

You've been smoking a lot of jazz-cabbage son. :bonk:

**EDIT:**

NEW BLUE RESPONSE RELATED TO SPAWNING UBER DIABLO IN SINGLE PLAYER:

Quote (Karew @ Sep 7 2021)

It would also be great if anyone from Blizzard could tell us how Uber Diablo is going to work in D2R before the game comes out

SP is 1 SOJ.

Bnet is the same range as prior which was around ~75~120

Multiple topics on character limit already, 20 characters is far more than enough. Stop hoarding 5 fg items, I can double your fg if you need.

and if you really commit that much time to d2 then maybe you should stop being cheap and just buy another account

As for the cow king, it was just an old part of griefing in D2 when running cows were relevant for leveling.
