Why do CM’s only reply to basic threads & never reply to offline/trading threads?
You guys (cm’s) are clearly active but never chime in onto the most pressing matters for the future of the franchise.
We’d like to have 8 player parties and scaling up to play with all our friends.
Diablo 3 limited parties to four players so we can’t play with our friends
We’d like to have an offline mode to play when we want to despite of an internet connection. Diablo dev’s could easily make a token system where you download a token ever so often to grant offline play for awhile much like how starcraft or steam does.
Diablo 3 used the argument that always online would prevent botting and item dupes and all it did was prevent dupes and trading was removed so what was the point
We’d like to have open trading despite the dev’s saying there won’t be full trading.
Saying that there will be limited trading isn’t what the community is asking for
There’s comments on theads like “quit season 19 thanks to the rewards” “Bazooka’s not dead” “2.6.8 item wishlist” “bug barbarian passive” “system down again”
Any post being critical on D3 and the future of the franchise is ignored. Could we start getting some community managers to chime in with information about showing that the community is being heard and dev feedback?
Actually, this is because comments have been disabled across all blogs on the Diablo III community site in order to comply with GDPR. The comment system on blogs functioned off of our old forum system software, which was not GDPR friendly. In order to remain compliant, we had to disable them by the end of the year.
This was communicated in earlier blogs, including our Season 19 preview/now live and Luis Barriga’s letter to the community, and David Kim’s missed the template memo intended to be added to all future blogs because it was being handled in a different vacuum while I was addressing Season 19 launch and 2.6.7a deployment. I’ll get it added today so that that’s clearer.
As for why we aren’t commenting on other Diablo IV development questions and/or threads, there’s already a sticky in this forum explaining our stance and approach to communication regarding our in-development game. You can also join the active discussion here.
The TLDR is it’s too early.
The longer answer is we’ve only just announced; our communication will continue to come in the form of quarterly blogs, the first of which is planned for Q1 next year. We have one more System Design blog in the pipeline that you can expect before we take time off for winter break with our families; that should be coming in the next couple of weeks or so. 
Most likely, yes. I’m working on a more formal post with an actual deadline, but that takes a little back and forth communication with the appropriate teams + localization to execute.
We’ve been monitoring web traffic, and most of the most popularly searched topics have already been migrated or recreated on this forum, but folks should definitely still go save anything they treasure if they haven’t done so already.
FuenteFriends. This thread has gone somewhere and then some. Appreciate the feedback in the beginning but closing this one down.
