Here's where Rod Fergusson (head of diablo) mentioned the zoom feature on twitter:

Blizzard wrote:
Another D2R Pro Tip: On PC, you can set your zoom level by holding the "F" key and scrolling the mouse wheel in and out. Once set, when you tap F then you will toggle between the default view and your new zoom setting. #Diablo2Resurrected
Regarding the Black bars compromise its post-launch:

Yeah, that's something we're discussing for post launch as a potential solution.

@BillyMaysed I'm sure I've missed it somewhere, but I couldn't find info for number 12 for multiplayer. I.e do we summon
Diablo Clone
the same as in old D2?

"Seven Evils spawned of seven heads. Seven realms birthed from Death."

Yes PezRadar confirmed in a blue post that we still summon Dclone with 70-120 SOJs on Bnet and he has also been unlocked for SP at the price of 1 SOJ.

Blizzard wrote:
SP is 1 SOJ.

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

EDIT: I should note that these values are not approximate and can change in the future.

@BillyMaysed That's going to be interesting if their advances in protection against bots have actually borne fruit.

@Tavron I'm actually more concerned than interested. If we still have to spawn Dclone with SOJ's.... even with a gigantic playerbase who is going to sell their super rare SOJ to a vendor? and en mass? lol. The entire system was implemented because of rampant dupes.

The drop chance for a SOJ is 1:3813 from NM Andy. So approx 1 every Four Thousand Andy runs. Even with 300 MF its still 1:1616

Almost 4 times as rare as a
Harlequin Crest
"Shako".

Well, when I said interested I did mean in a concerned way, because of the exact reasons you listed :) So I do definitely agree with you on that.

lmao honestly man... id bet money they won't. I have ZERO Faith in blizzard at stopping bots, dupes or hacks. Ive played literally all of their games and all of them have those same problems lol.

Pardon my ignorance but does 10. imply that there will be Ladder-only Uniques which will NOT be available in SP?
In other words: are there Uniques that one can access in Non-Ladder Multi but NOT in SP?

I put that because the Anni and Torch are now available in SP. :D

Thank you for your prompt reply.
So to be certain: Anni and Torch are the only used-to-be Ladder Only Uniques then?

Again, apologies for my ignorance. I play mostly D1/Hellfire mod.

hey man most people here love to help. So no apologies! Ask as MANY questions as you like. Seriously, I live for this game. lol

But yea anni and torch were the only ladder-only uniques SP didn't have access to.

Runewords are also unlocked though. Im way more excited about the ladder-only runewords in SP than anni and torch lol
