I thought that there were no runestones until LOD? Hmm.
There are no runes in Classic.

As of now, the D2R Classic (Base game) will still have the classic stash. Iâve passed off the feedback to the team regarding this but as noted, they are wanting to make sure the game still feels true to what it was in itâs previous life. Future QoL items may be considered but as of now the plan is to ship with the limited stash in the Classic (Base Game) version.

Oof. That sounds like a big miss to be honest. The majority of the classic players want the QoL improvements. Muling was a much bigger issue in classic as you hoard rares. Hopefully you guys reconsider later on. There are many topics about this.
Edit: Thanks for responding though. There definitely needs to be more communication between Blizzard and the consumer.

Can you clarify that âClassic stashâ indeed means unshared, or does that mean the size?
Why would Rod Fergusson state unequivocally that they felt muling by throwing things on the ground âadds nothing to the gameâ, and then proceed to leave the Classic player with this exact problem? It sounds like laziness on part of the dev team, to be honest.
Complete and utter nonsense. How do you think this will work for consoles with a player base on Classic of basically nil?
Garbage decision if they donât have the shared stash, might even cancel preorder if this is the case after beta. Terrible design decision.
Edit : Also, thank you for answering. This is a massive, massive, oversight on the dev teamâs part, so itâs good to get a sense for what theyâre up to. I really hope they try to reach out to the Classic community, as this is a huge deal.

I agree. Thanks for responding and starting a dialogue, and I hope youâre following all of the posts about this general concept carefully.
There is an important misconception being made that âClassicâ is synonymous with âPurist.â Going forward under the umbrella of that misconception will lead to a lot of disappointment from many of the most loyal fans and players of the game.

Thereâs the misconception at play right there. Purists wanted pure. That is a small group of players.
Classic player does NOT mean purist. I am a classic player and NOT a purist.
Devs need to make this distinction as well if they want to do right by their Classic players.

Except ClassicD2R is very much D2R. This argument makes no sense. Itâs a game mode. This is like arguing Hardcore in D2R isnât D2R. WTAF?

It already isnât anywhere close. Pre-patch items wonât be in D2R Classic. Are they still giving auto gold-pickup to Classic? How do any of these decisions make any amount of sense?
If we canât mule safely, what are the devs even thinking? Are they going to create gamestates that stay open for 5+ minutes after the last player leaves, so that we can safely mule, as we do in D2 currently?
Honestly I donât think any of these devs have even played the game. They seem like a bunch of graphic designers completely out of their element.

Who says Classic players are purists? the majority of âpuristsâ that are completely anti-change on this forum and others have been LoD players , not Classic ones. This argument holds no merit.

Classic is part of D2R lol. They are literally remastering classic non expansion D2 also.

Agree 100%. I planned on playing some classic on console. Now that will be a nightmare with no shared stashâŚ

If they didnât intend to give QoL to Classic, they should have just left Classic completely out of the game, so Classic players could just not buy the thing.
Getting people hyped to play Classic on a console and then THIS? wowâŚif the game ships in this state Iâll be very disappointed with how far this company has fallen.

They really need to listen to their customers before this turns into another reforged situation.

Unfortunately Classic is quite a small, niche community, or I think it likely would.
Either way, they are guaranteed to lose sales with this decision if it does not change.

Feedback: Classic D2:R oughta have shared stash as well.

Yeah, I know itâs not huge, but they should at least say that the classic version will not have the stash QoL perks on the website for D2R and in the game description on consoles imo. Right now, it seems like both Classic and Xpac D2R will have the QoL improvements on the website. (Which we now know isnât true)
