So, classic is not getting terror zones. In this case, I’m actually in favor of that but can classic get something? We get all the balances changes that LOD gets despite the balance being very different and selective QOL (no shared stash but we get auto-gold pickup, gamble refresh etc). Instead of pretending that classic doesn’t exist, can we get thrown some kind of bone? Shared stash at the very least? Remove the Diablo countdown? Fix the Diablo exp bug? Yes, I realize most people play expansion but that doesn’t mean they should basically pretend classic doesn’t exist.
We want shared stash!

The poor desolate graveyard of classic. I feel bad for you guys. Get these people a reasonable stash!

Been waiting for it since this game released, been playing classic for at least 15 years; just that one change would make it so people stuck around for the full ladder instead of quitting after 45 days.

Yes, a shared stash at minimum.
Stop acting like the Shared Stash is an expansion feature. It’s not. It’s a Diablo II Resurrected Feature.
I mean if you guys had any consistency at all, you would either give us all of the QOL features that Expansion got or just roll us back to 1.07.
Seriously. YOU’RE the purists, not us.

Please give our Classic friends a shared + expanded stash, PezRadar’s original post (from June 2021) about wanting to “preserve the original feel of Classic” is no longer valid seeing as the 2.4 balance changes also affected Classic.
It’s a huge QoL improvement that should be considered an aspect of D2R rather than the Lord of Destruction expansion.

Wow I totally forgot this was a thing back in D2C.
Yeah I don’t care about new game changing features for classic either… and I mean ever since patch 1.07.
Classic should have stayed Classic like in pre-expansion. Sadly we have gotten all the massive changes to the game since 2001. 1.08-1.09 era in Classic was still decent, but I feel like 1.10+ really made it less fun with many of the builds and even classes were made not usable in hell or very weak.
Of course some new ones came along but yeah… overall I think it shrunk the options, especially for solo play in 5+ players.
For D2R though I would like to see the shared stash in Classic side… now I already have all the character slots full. Got some 3 characters in LoD from the launch and then 2 mules there… Then I have 2 characters in Classic and rest is mules for classic pretty much… or some of them are mule/alts… like I wouldl like to play them later when I get all the crap out from them : )
Oh and I play in HC so I’m saving bunch of leveling gear and some backup gear in case I would die.
Also diablo dead counter is lame and if you are not in the same party you don’t even see it anymore… it used to be global for the game but now I think it shows only if you are in same party.
There are many bugs with the Diablo countdown. I reported them week 1 and none were addressed (shocker).
#1 It does not show unless you are in CS at time of Diablo kill or you enter CS after Diablo kill
#2 If the timer runs out, you see the act 4 ending cutscene and are told you advanced to the next rank even if you didn’t complete the quest.
#3 The countdown display tends to freeze or display the incorrect amount of time left if you leave CS after it starts
I agree yeah many issues.
You seem to get the diablo quest and advance to next difficulty even when not.
If you let the countdown go 0 then you are at offline character screens after the game… its messy.
