hi for the first time i started playing classic just to experiment a different flavor while waiting for ladder…
SO IF MY SUGGESTION IS SILLY … PLS FORGIVE IN ADVANCE …
but since monster health lvls and etc are increased from original classic with the other pathces … and there are no runewords in classic like stealth or leaf or etc …
imho the unused uniques in LOD could be very welcome in classic …
i would like all uniques enabled (not sets btw class sets especially tal set would be too strong) …
HOWEVER people in classic could utilize the otherwise unused uniques imho …
If the community wants to go slowe we could begin with at least EXCEPTIONAL UNIQUES …
P.S. PLS ALSO DONT FORGET ABOUT STASH SIZE (if not the shared stash PLS)
------ edit to clarify to misunderstanding ----
what i mean by classic is not the old d2 lod … i mean D2R classic …
----- edit to clarify my point ----
i am not trying to modify the classic to LOD … but HEY THERE WERE NO IMMUNITIES … NOR SYNERGIES IN THE ORIGINIAL CLASSIC … if these made into the classic scene … we could have some modest gear upgrades … HENCE WHY I SUGGESTED NOT ALL BUT ONLY EXCEPTIONAL UNIQUES (and NOT SETS) …
----- edit for those who have not played classic ----
pls try out classic b4 you say if adding just the exceptional uniques will turn it to LOD …
also THE HP OF MONSTERS HAVE BEEN INCREASED WITH THE PREVIOUS PATHCES … so if the HP of monsters are reverted back THEN YOU ARE RIGHT …
Don’t see the point, Why have classic at all if you’re gonna introduce any big changes to it? I can understand the CoL upgrades, like auto gold pickup, stash, controller support and UI. Otherwise it would just defeat the purpose entirely, I’d frankly rather have the ability to roll back to previous versions.
I don’t think your suggestion is silly, but I doubt any changes will be made because that’s just what it is…classic. I haven’t created any classic characters yet, and I haven’t even seen if the shared chest has been deployed. Do Oblivions Knights have an iron maiden? Are MSLE monsters still bugged?
You see, several things can be welcomed in the classic because the LOD has already implemented these things. So the classic will no longer be classic and will be equal to the expansion
NOT EVEN CLOSE lol… classic diablo 2 is TERRIBLY unbalanced due to changes made for the LOD game. Entire classes of characters can ONLY be played with 1 skill set. The power creep in LOD at least gives you some choices… Classic could benefit from the same type of updates it receieved when it was diablo 2… periodic equipment upgrades… see the addition of exceptional items into classic. (1.04)
I could personally care less about the ladder, but that’s beside the point. Where do you draw the line then? What is the purpose of the classic other than to play the game as it was before LoD? Everyone has their own ideas of what the ideal D2 is, no matter what the devs do, its gonna divide opinions.
The point is this. People will see the limitations that classico offers, give their suggestions and say “this is welcome in classic”. Gradually he will end up becoming a LOD.
@Kaljaveikike This ISNT diablo 2… This is D2R… A refresh on the original game… You can still play Classic diablo 2 just fine. Some of us like the classic game and are looking for the same experience the LOD players want… some refresh.
How come you didn’t understand? I’m saying that the classic has its limitations (which you pointed out yourself). So people will realize these limitations and will ask for “improvements” saying that they are welcome in classico. Gradually the classic will stop being classic because the LOD has already fixed these limitations
Don’t know what point you are trying to argue here, looks like you are basically agreeing to what i said. Thankfully the vanilla d2 still exists, not gonna get rid of the install files any time soon.
When the OP says classic he means it’s a character without the expansion at the time of creating the character. At least that’s what I understood. If not then I apologize
Classic Pre-expansion D2 received periodic gear updates… no reason not to do something simple like add a cube recipe to up existing uniques and set items into D2R.
They will already be modifying the sets when they change them for the ladder update…
