Honestly I’d say the thing I miss about the whole thing is being able to just do off meta build coop runs without having to deal with server jank. Also made SP feel a bit less… useless as you could still trade with buds and what not.
I think in the current world it would be nice to have access to ladder RWs without having to deal with the ladder rat race, while still being able to play with friends. I’ve never been all that fond of ladders frankly.
Also character limits kind of suck lol. Number 2 reason I stopped playing online, I play NL and I ran outta room.
Limited character slots and a 6x4 stash is why I have to keep so much less than i normally do. Also, can’t have too many mains. Classic stash + limited slots is awful.
Definitely can’t keep immunities in 1.06. Only viable build on sorc is static + orb. Also, for the record, it isn’t supposed to be true classic. It was always supposed to be 1.14d without expansion content. It has its own appeal. 1.06, 1.09, and 1.14d all have different appeal for classic players. I know people who hate 1.14d classic and love 1.09 and 1.06 classic and people who hate anything except 1.14d classic.
Dunno why. I just mentioned a bunch of use cases where I use TCP/IP with my friends, including direct lan play, dueling hero editor characters, and playing coop with our offline characters. Anyway now that PoE 2 is around the corner I don’t even care anymore lol
D2 Classic is very niche. 99% of people on this forum are expansion players. Thus, it’s pretty rare that classic is even brought up nevermind what the preferred way to play it is. Though yes, there are people who hate 1.14d/D2R classic and people love it. I’ve always been of the opinion that earlier patches (except 1.08) and modern D2 classic both have their own appeals. I play on a 1.09 mod in classic and D2R classic pretty regularly.
