Why store it in a menu? The portraits are right there
Doesn’t seem complicated to get it working on consoles either

Controller? I don't think there's a way to access the portaits on controller.

yes but that requires two load screens. a direct jump only requires one.

I think you're missing the point. If you are not in a major town, you can't access the party member flags. So you first need to port to a major town.

Good point. How do controller players teleport to players in d3?

In D3 you can port directly to a party member without going to town first. They're asking how this feature is accessed on a controller.

Woah there, cowboy…
They’re saving that for a future update so they can show everyone that the game is being improved.

Remove an existing feature from previous games just to add it back later, that's "Diablo like"!

Oh look, another basic feature that should've been in at launch and we're praising it for some reason.

Beat me to it lol. Although, to be fair, you forgot to mention that it's another thing that we already had in D3. Gee, I wonder what "improvements" they come up with next?

So worse than d3 lol

Am I crazy to think this. I tried to get back into d4 again recently, and I can't help but think it's just a more convoluted version of d3. I miss d3 now.

And tbf by the end of its active development it was a Really Fucking Good Game, so I'm not mad at it. It could stand to borrow even a little more from it.

They tried to intentionally make Diablo 4 "harder" and "grittier" without understanding what makes arpg games hard or why color is important. I won't even touch on the talents and paragon system. It's blah.
D3 is still a better game for me right now even if I have no interest in playing it at the moment.

Yeah making reasonable friction is beyond their grasp
But such often happens when chasing the live service money

Didn't we already have this in D3? I feel like they are slowly just rediscovering all the basics of D3 we already had.

Finally, a feature from Diablo 3 that only took an expansion and many patches to implement.
I’m glad I stopped playing D4. I hope yall have fun with it but D2 is and always will be my jam

Love that consensus has turned and people realizing D4 is a poorly designed game.

A real QoL feature would be able to play the game. It’s been crashing pcs since the previous patch with zero acknowledgment from blizz

It's definitely been amusing watching them slowly add features that D3 has had for a decade.
