Q: Will TCP/IP support be available in the Early Access to Open Beta tests?
A: TCP/IP support will not be available in the upcoming Beta or the final game. After careful deliberation, we will no longer be supporting this option as we identified potential security risks and are committed to safeguarding the player experience.

I don't really care just thought this was interesting decision.

eh. Some people will be bummed.

d2ga pwned

well its a feature I dont really give 2 shit about, open bnet as well. I think most of the import shit back in the days r being transfer via open bnet with an blizzard insider over on the other ends.

Yoginator get rekt

Its really not needed in this day and age tbh, want to host a lan party.. pretty sure most peoples internet can support a few friends coming over and playing online rather than making a TCP game.

this is a huge let down for those that want to play mods with a friend though... with everything going threw battlenet that kills mods, also what if you find a nice item that your buddy could use/wants and you both chose an offline character? or now sol. i personally hope they change there mind or a modder finds away to re-enable it.

Worst thing ever. I don't get the point.
It was an awesome feature to duels friends with single players chars

This x1000

Guess it was easier to remove it than fix the countless exploits you could do ^^
