  • HabitzGaming Habitual (@HabitzGaming) reported

    @PezRadar Nothing better than spending what little time you have than leveling only to be rolled back levels then having the "character already exists" error.... 20+ years and getting old D2 errors lol.

  • NondescriptNpc Nondescript NPC (@NondescriptNpc) reported

    @BlizzardCS @PezRadar That's neat, my best friend flew over 4 states and took 2 days off so that we could sit here and act like this game was never beta tested for server issues.

  • RealAsianRobot RealAsianRobot 🤖 (@RealAsianRobot) reported

    @PezRadar #Diablo2Resurrected Character Progress on Online is NOT saved. Lost 40 minutes on my Necromancer. Seriously. fix please!

  • JustinIsbell11 Justin Isbell (@JustinIsbell11) reported

  • Disylus Disylus (@Disylus) reported

  • TempsterGG Tempster (@TempsterGG) reported

  • DallyDante 🩸☠️ DallyDANTE ☠️🩸 (@DallyDante) reported

    @GearsofWar The tuning was great. Only issue i had was shots not registering properly, other then that please stay on the the right track this time.

  • anthony5900 Anthony powell (@anthony5900) reported

    @PezRadar Not char issue for me just cannot create or join a game on private or online. Server issues or just a knock on effect from char issues ?

  • joe100_average AVERAGE_JOE100 (@joe100_average) reported

    @CoalitionGears any word on fixing the error preventing players on Xbox and pc players from playing the campaign coop together

  • RLP12345 RLP (@RLP12345) reported

    @PezRadar what about the cant create games for 40 ******* minutes issue?

  • SaintLewdest Charles Wilkinson (@SaintLewdest) reported

    @PezRadar @Diablo for some reason my character just randomly vanished from the server. No crash nothing. Just gone. When I exited game and tried making new game it said unable to find character on server.

  • JimmyFunnellCFC Jimmy Funnell / / CHAMPIONS OF EUROPE (@JimmyFunnellCFC) reported

    @PezRadar Can the issue be resolved or have we just lost an hour of playtime, Adam? Just asking to know whether or not it makes sense to make a new char..

  • CeeJayCarter3 CeeJay Carter (@CeeJayCarter3) reported

    @PezRadar Amazon! Btw, I’m sure you get this a lot, but would you guys PLZ consider putting “wsg” (weapon swap cancels stun animation) back in the game like legacy d2LOD? Without it, the pvp aspect is broken against stun skills. Great work on D2R, looking forward to putting time in! Thanks

  • OrbitalFrame7 Wootz43 (@OrbitalFrame7) reported

    @PezRadar Yup, I can't even create a character. "Issue occurred while communicating with the server".

  • ovieczkin1987 Ovieczkin1987 (@ovieczkin1987) reported

    @Diablo @PezRadar the game just kicked me out after playing for an hour, it says my guy is level 1 and I get an error "Failed to enter game. This character could not be found on the server. Please try again." are the servers down or did I just get *****ed ...

  • zob879 uıʇsnɾ (@zob879) reported

  • mipzhap Marc Ilsø Poulsen (@mipzhap) reported

    @Zizaran @PezRadar Won't that become a problem in the 3rd difficulty? I seem to recall that in act 1 every mob is cold immune, which I remember ruined it for me.
