Calling it low effort is a bit uncalled for imho
. Yes there is some mindnumbing decisions made, like no support for UW(it was there in the alpha if i recall correct), but there are also plenty things done very well. They have listened to feedback before and i'm sure they will again.

Thanks, I found this quite the palava though.
Signed up to everything, afk for the time period and get the drop. Got to connect account, but twitch says lol error. Google says you have error because twitch doesn't support Firefox, go install different browser.
Installed Chrome, yay no error. Input battlenet credentials via twitch, but no, says they're invalid. I had both login portals open, this and my pc one. PC one logs in, twitch one doesn't. I am literally copy and pasting my credentials....
OK, whatever, let's try login in via Google. Sign up to all that malarkey, new battlenet account, all connected and done. After installing, click play:
'The application encountered an unexpected error and needs to close'

Gave it a try but the beta is multiplayer only and it's pretty laggy, not a good experience.
What makes you say its multiplayer only? I've got 2 characters, one that I play with friends and one that I play solo ?
Soldato
Because when you make a game it makes it on battlenet instead of locally - even if you're alone.
Ah right, so you actually mean its online only rather than its multiplayer only, fair enough

Yeah that's some bad luck you had there lol
Was smooth as for me, no issues at all
D2R has no offline play. You'll always need to play through battle.net
They did say otherwise but in the last week it seems for whatever reason not to be the case anymore.

Plays well and has the feel of what I remember D2 to be. Lag was an issue at times but not died to it just yet, only a matter of time though. However I played D2 a huge amount back in the day so while it's a good nostalgia trip, doubt I'll pay full price for it.

Well, after D3 at launch, this is exactly why I didn't just straight up buy it. I'll check back for the second beta, though. Presumably it'll have been resolved by then, as it seems there's a few people having the same issue.
Also, read your beta characters get wiped, so no carrying them into the main game if anyone was wondering.

Is it just me or do these remasters look graphically meh, this, CnC and Rome all disappointed me when it came to eye candy, sure they are done as remasters are supposed to in that not much of the game is changed and it's a lick of paint but I was expecting more in terms of graphics
Just you maybe, I think its done very well, I mean to be quite honest I'm not sure really what more they could have done graphically and it still be Diablo 2.

I wondered how long it would be until they managed to snatch Defeat from the jaws of Victory
Did they learn nothing from Diablo III
Have you tried pressing G in-game to switch between old and new graphics? The beta's had its problems, but graphics is one area they've done a fantastic job imho. The game looks great and yet as a long-time D2 player everything is still absolutely recognisable as in the original game.
Out of curiosity, what other things would you have liked to have seen in this? Or would a lower price point be sufficient?

No widescreen? That sucks.
