Hey blizzard I was wondering if you could take this into thought. Like many others feel, I think 1.09 should be a option to play versus the current 1.14. You lost so much as far as duel class specs and pretty much was only limited to one spec due to synergies.
I’m starting to get the feeling that you don’t want the game to come out this year…
It’s not that. Just the synergies take all of your skill points to make only one tree good. I remember being able to play as a melee/trap asn and now it’s one or the other. Also the fact that in pvp you can’t get 22k health now made all the duels just one shot. Just miss .09 I guess.
So they will have to do several new realms just for 1.09? Lod, classic, ladder, non ladder, open battle net…
I dont like to split up player base like this. I am pretty sure someone can make a mod which would be like 1.09 so you just have to wait a little bit or stop being stuck in history and try 1.14 or even higher 
I have played the new .14 all the time, and I still do. I was just wondering if the player base is greater with the .09 or the .10+
I think 1.09 player base is pretty small minority.
Idk, I see a lot of d2 players that want the synergies removed. Maybe it’s just me. 
1.09 to 1.10 was when the game changed entirely.
It was like a completely different game afterwards.
50 shades of Diablo… it’s impossible to please everyone when there are so many different flavors people like. No critic against 1.09, in fact it was the last step before the biggest change the game had, so I understand the nostalgia.
Synergies is one of the best things added to d2 
1.09 was a lot of fun but there’s no way you can recreate that moment in gaming.
Time to move on.
They are fun don’t get me wrong. But it limited you to only one skill tree really.
Technically, you can still do hybrid builds… You’re just encouraged to go the synergy route.
Playerbase is already split up like this if not worse. This is such a dumb argument.
What a weird comment to make when people are trying to do that very thing with the remaster…
How dont you get it lol? If you have splited population into 4 servers, adding another option under that will split it to even more populations, so how is that dumb argument? Its completely valid argument.
It’s not different servers. It’s the same server with different tags.
Like Hardcore/Softcore can’t see or enter the same games.
Also, the regions were all combined together anyways.
1.13d was the best patch!
Comparing the early 2000s cult classic d2 and the phenomena that was 1.09, and current d2 being remastered is silly.
There was no cult following in 1.10+, the game became a ghost of its former self. If you weren’t there during 1.09 you won’t understand how populated and awesome it was… even a 1.09 server now would be nothing in comparison.
Do I love 1.09 game play? Yes.
Is it my favourite patch? Yes.
You can’t recreate the madness, though. We played until our eyes bled, literally.
The current D2 playerbase is already split way more than that.
It has like 4 or 5 region servers, and then each of those is divided between D2 and LOD, which are themselves divided between softcore and hardcore, which are themselves divided between ladder and non-ladder.
If D2 with its 2000-3000 current players can be considered to have “survived” on that many divisions, then a modern rerelease should be able to do it as well. Except that Bnet servers are global, so we already removed one whole level from the multiplication chain.
