It's been running extremely well for me! 20 years of waiting was totally worth this, and the time I'm spending with my son playing it. This is one of those moments I'm never going to forget.

Minus the no lobby issues, the console experience is turning out to be so much better than the mouse/keyboard controls. I feel like im actually controlling the character myself instead of just sending him on a point and click adventure.

I'll have to hook up my xbox controller to the PC and take it for a spin.

A little large hiccup on PC yesterday, but now I am so enjoying it
Hope they fix the server's stability issues and in game bugs very soon. I played about 2 hours yesterday and saw a lot of bugs :

- Graphic setting issue.
-Grass texture did not get loaded properly.
-Some display settings did not show correctly in the menu.
-Minimap selecting did not work.

- The first quest,

Den of Evil did not show the countdown, and I could not finish it in the first time I played. (online)
- My offline character, lv.16 assassin from legacy version 1.13d did not work here. She was reset to level 1.

Overall experience was great, 8/10.

You will love that ...a lot

It's great! Playing on Xbox and having a blast as well. I think I'll be hunting achievements, since they're added.

My brother is playing it on xbox and his biggest complaint is not being able to effectively use skills like amplify or

Corpse Explosion with the controller. Apparently there is no way to aim those skill without a mouse and keyboard which kind of sucks imo

Turns out that most bluetooth controllers work fine on PC (Windows and Linux) for D2R. I happened to have an old WiiU Pro controller and it connected up fine, can pick the mouse back up whenever like for inventory and other parts of the game. Pretty neat to be able to switch any time.

Controller is definitely a blast, especially for melee and missile attacks! Having a blast with

Plague Javelin right now, it wrecks Normal pretty hard!

how does casting spells like amplify(necro) work on console? You can only cast on the immediate enemy you are facing and not a group down the way correct?

There's some videos out there showing what it's like, but I'd suggest picking up a controller and connecting to your PC to try it out. Many skills work brilliantly with the controller, others are a bit harder depending on the playstyle of the build and how the skill is being used. E.g. curses work fine because the radius is so big...anything melee or missile is fine (especially with

Pierce), and AoE spells work too. Most end-game PvM skills fall in this category so it does seem to work pretty well for each class, for most builds I think.

A notable exception is that I would not want to try Blizzard sorc with controller. In endgame scenarios the monsters are too fast to be targeted directly so you need to lead them with the Blizzard -- might be difficult on controller if it wants to target the actual monster automatically.
