It's almost like this local co-op was a last minute addition that was slapped on in the cheapest, tackyest and easiest way possible.

Needless to say, a refund is in order. Suppose I'll go get Overwatch for the missus instead -_-

Burned the money.

Burned.

THEN learned there is no actual local coop, like Diablo 3.

Player 2 being a generic character?

Like my busy don’t even need to sign in?!?

Ugh.

I burned money for nothing.

Uninstalling the game.

I want a refund.

Claiming local coop and then dropping that hot mess on us was VERY unfair.

I bought this to game local with friends, not have them control a fake character that is nothing more than a random generated NPC. :( :( :(

Great game BTW, but as I see many people are missing this feature a lot!

Thanks!

He's a huge Warhammer 40k fan. I've bought him thousands in models and take him to a league every Wednesday night.  Social aspects are disappearing from games. We need to encourage people sitting next to one another rather than alone.

Just my thoughts. 

Will you be able to locally play two characters who can both be chosen/increase level etc and play through the campaign together? 

Local coop needs to be fixed.

Can't run  the campaign.

Can't bring your character either.

Got it so my wife and I could play and experience the campaign together.

They totally screwed the pooch on this one.

No, seriously guys. My wife and I played Diablo 3 RELIGIOUSLY for years. I'm talking Lvl 70 Paragon 1k+. When I first learned this was coming out what seems like years ago now, the wall behind me turned brown, only to realize that my excitement had been dwarfed by the disappointment of not being able to use your own characters together. The campaign is understandable, but it's utter nonsense that side missions can't be run sitting side by side. As of now, it seems our only real option is to trade profiles back and forth, progressing our characters in turns in the effort to stay equal, while the other uses some expendable peon who's life has absolutely no value.  Taking local co-op into "consideration" and "no promises" isn't exactly going to work in this game's favor, as now Diablo Immortal is coming, and that's only going to damage this game's population even more. Furthermore, "A couple requests" is like calling a Tyranid swarm a mold infestation. You guys broke alot of balls with the exclusion of that one feature, and it cost you, because nobody is going to recommend it as a better Diablo for just that reason unless it's fixed.   The Emperor would personally stand his rotting corpse from his throne just to spit a dust bunny at such heresy. 

Same for us, me and my wife bought the game for local coop, expecting it to be like Diablo 3, but then we found it wasn't absolutely like it, and this was very sad, frustrating. I wonder if I can get a refund.
