Preface: Prior to Diablo 2 Resurrected the term “Classic” referred to the Non-Expansion version of Diablo 2 and is what I’m referring to when saying “Classic”, not the original game. Also, I have not actually played multiplayer for more than an hour since the release of resurrected as I’m more of a Single Player person.
It would be fair to say that Classic on Diablo 2 Resurrected is in a broken and sad state. The game mode is obviously not as popular as Lord of Destruction, and most likely will never be close, but it does have a community and people that prefer that style of play. I’m not here to chastise Blizzard, but I would like them to see, acknowledge and act on the wants/needs of the Classic community if at all possible.
That all being said, these are the primary issues that I think everyone can agree should be fixed/added to Classic.
Game/Chat Lobbies:
Currently there just straight up is no Game Lobby for Classic, or rather it has been broken since release and games are not visible. There is a Classic Discord you can access to organize, but I think we can all agree that the broken in game functionality should be fixed and would presumably increase audience engagement.
The Shared Stash:
There really should be at least one page of shared stash space for Classic players. I understand the original stated reasoning being to appease purists, but at this point in time it seems abundantly clear that it’s no longer a valid argument. Kieran has had an open topic since the Alpha that discusses this in great detail and should be referenced for anyone curious on more detail or unaware.
