How To Cheer At The Training Militia bug

[Ibadgrammar]

I was wondering the same thing, I even checked on YouTube and found it does work but the Militia are not practising against the dummies, they are standing around. I thought maybe it is because it's middle of the night but I've come back a bit later and still no joy, they are still hitting the crap out of the wooden dummies and selecting cheer does nothing.

I did see something in the bottom left corner saying something about chat not working every time I tried to use emote. In the end I just left them and went wandering about.

I bought the game just to cheer them.

You sure you can't use emotes with the trial version?

To complete the quest, you must stand near the militia and press "E" on your keyboard to open the emote wheel, and use "Cheer". If you can't find "Cheer" on your emote wheel, press customize and add it manually.

Can't use chat on Trial version and emoting is considered as chat in this game.

[Nekki]

Can confirm. You need to own the full game to be able to emote and use the chat.
Being able to emote shouldnt be a trial issue. At least delete the quests that require using the chat in the trial version.
In the end it just seems lazy and incompetent - guess the trend of Blizzard continues even after the Microsoft acquisition

[rovaira2]

Yeah, same thing. Guess have to own the game for that which is pretty funny.

I've been hunting all over to find the answer to this issue. Guess I have yet another excuse to make my wallet suffer and buy the full game.

I'll be going the other way. Game gave me no indication as to why I couldn't cheer (or emote in general) to progress the quest I was given.

Anything requiring emotes, or anything else locked out, shouldn't be included in the trial version at all. Otherwise, the game just frustrates players and looks buggy. Might not be the best foot to put forward, when they're trying to convince people the game is worth buying (a task at which they have consequently failed, with me).

Maybe I'll wait for enough of a price drop down the road that by the time it drops that far, they've fixed such "bugs". But given how much I resent the idea of paying for the game itself, then being nickel and dimed on various levels of season passes, etc.... probably not. Don't tack a free-to-play funding model onto a game you're charging for. This isn't... oh, right, they're the folks who make WoW. Can't believe it took them this long to bring it to the Diablo series, now that I think about it.

[Lasemanz]

Same here, was looking for a solution but guess what, not a bug, it's a paywall feature...

[Piston Smashed™]

I wouldn't worry about it if you are just playing the Free Week. You lose access to the game upon reaching Level 20. So, you'll have to buy the game if you want to proceed any further. I skipped it and it didn't really do anything to hinder me, it is still there for me to complete if or when I buy the game in the future.

[Kapaluccio]

LMAO I will not buy this game solely on this dumb decision of not letting us emote.

[fodder]

funny thing.. it worked just fine in the beta / stress test. anyway.. less xp means more time per character to grab those renown..

This is mostly done to avoid gold farmer spamming the chat and bots running through the chat. But I must say, a lot of things have changed since Diablo 2. Too bad it's not giving me the old feeling I had playing part 1 and 2 in the younger years. But it looks really great.
