The main reason almost no one plays classic is blatantly obvious. It’s no big secret or mystery that the majority of the player base in games these days, only want the best stuff with little to no work. Since classic actually makes people play with no runewords or charms, and other cheese items that make play easy for them, they simply avoid it.
The other reason is, places like d2jsp doesn’t invest in Classic the same way they do in expansion.
These two reasons are not anything new or are some secret. These are the basic facts on how gamers are these days.
Few play classic anymore because D2R and all the qol features is superior. A lot of players quit because of the atrocious drop rates for runes. Everything from LUM up need to be increased 500% drop rate.
I think he meant classic as in no Act5 runes charms or jewels classic. I played both and I think the reason is because the game just doesn’t feel complete without all the story that happens in A5 among other improvements.
Yes people don’t like it because it’s basically incomplete D2 in their opinion.
Sorry but… what are you talking about?
I play Classic on both HC and SC, mainly because I use classic as a blueprint for fast character creation/hell forge quest on 7 different accounts so I ve done my good thousand of hours of playtime. * if you count legacy too
Classic is easier overall and I play at p5 or p7 most of the times.
Barb is a joy on classic.
What you really mean is players want everything handed to them with ease on their terms.
I use classic to get 2-3 hell forges an hour…a process which i explained in detail which players decided they wanted to get rid of it because it was showing people how not to rely on people who use d2jsp, so they complained until it was removed by reporting it as false information and misinformation…
Not sure how it’s misinformation or false to say runes come from hell forge. Apparently people believe runes cannot come from hell forge I mean they said it cannot be done so the post I had outlining all the steps in detail must have been fake.
The really funny thing is later on people confronted me about me making comments in other topics about how to not deal with people who overcharge because of sites like d2jsp, and you know what people had the audacity to tell me.
The person just doesn’t understand that opening chests in certain areas lower Kurast cough!! Gives you free easy mode items you see this purist twists and lies through words! Everyting is handed to you…. You join a 8 player game open chests boom HR and you kill act bosses pindle etc it requires 0 skill 0 effort and most ppl also just use d2jsp removing any challenge??? The game doesn’t have a challenge stop lying to your self!
Nerf guns say mode drops and add a challenging end game where you earn items nope that’s not the purist way keep it simple and basic but lie about how hard and challenging the game is
