day 18 with almost 3500 views and almost 150 comments… crickets from blizzard
multiple people banned in the thread… but no response to the actual problem
Expwcialky on D2Classic HC where it’s even more important to See public games because there a Łąck of poeplw playing that style.
Why forum moderators dont even say any thing to us. Why they dont passing this to devs?
because they’re scaredy cat afraid of showing themselves in the midst of this Queue/crashes mess.
give it a try in 6 months when blizzard will MAYBE have at least fixed the crashes and lets the server issue rot till enough players drop hopes of a fix and leave so it’s solved by simply having less players around
unfortunately you’re right. The classic community is small. And it’s a largely pvp centric community.
Blizzard made it clear with the launch of D3 that they view the diablo universe as strictly being sudo-single-player pve and definitely not for pvp.
They would probably prefer if our community died, so they’ll probably just ignore us until most of us quit playing.
Wow, guys… I am a LoD player just taking a peek out of curiosity, but from the posts I saw I can tell you’re a much more positive, constructive and dedicated community than what we have in LoD. Basically, you made me wanna give classic a try. It would be a shame for Diablo to lose you, I really hope your issues get addressed, and I believe they will. I’d love a few tips though… I have years of experience in the expansion and most of the game mechanics are second nature to me by now. So… What works differently in classic compared to, say, LoD 1.09 (pre runewords, synergies, etc)?

Thank you for Good Word.
For sure you need to try Classic version 
The game is dead, thanks Blizzard
No Elite Items, Sets&Uniques are just normal items. Block is dex independent, ww always hits at max speed. Res malus is 0/-20/-50. No a5, no runewords, no charms, just 3 respecs. Conc gives full buff to bh. No weapon switch, no assa, no druid. oh and small stash. No equippable mercs that follow through acts. Summons don’t follow through acts. No charges, no class specific items, no circlets.
No elites as in only normal and exceptional? That’s surprising. I knew about the sets and uniques, classes and runewords. But now I have a ton of other questions. Is BH a thing? Does that mean that there are synergies? How do you block with non-pallies (e.g. safety crafts, twitchtoe, GA)? Is blocking still capped? Does cold mastery break immunities (I remember reading that somewhere). Can you still craft items?
And thanks for the response. I had no idea about most of the stuff.
Blizzard, thanks for caring about us, and taking our issues seriously.
Oh, wait.

Yes there are the same synergies like at lod since 1.10. I supposed BH is blessed hammer? Yes one of the strongest builds on d2c. There are no safety crafts, crafting is very limited in classic aswell (no “orange” items). Socketing only via soj+3ps. You can reroll rares with 6 ps or soj+1ps (better ilvl) (some more unpopular recipes for magic items). Non pallies usually go for 30/20 Grim/boneshields (optional roundshields or towershields) as they offer best blockrates without having to invest too much str. As you said twitch is often used (little dangerous without faster blockrate). CM breaking immunities is fixed i think, but it was there in d2r release.
Most of thing which you mentioned is in expansion. If you want all of this go there. If you want to implement all of this thing in classic Diablo then it won’t be classic it will be double expansion without base.
Synergies are in Classic, You block with your shield and block rate on it, there are lack of unique & set because most of the were added in expansion ( there is few of them), no runewords (added in expansion), no charms (added in expansion), no weapon switch (added in expansion), no assa and druid because they are expansion characters.
Think please because when I’m reading your post i think that you want doubled expansion without base = changing extremely game code. I know, i said it 2 times.
Best,
You should read my post again. I specifically mentioned the stuff that differentiates Classic from LoD. I don’t know what you’re talking about.
I’m sorry if I took it wrong but it sounded like complaining about what is not in Classic 
Still nothing?
Threat refreshed!
Thanks a lot for the info! Now I’ll really have a go at it. Sorry for bringing the thread off topic for a moment and causing a slight misunderstanding 
Going up and we are still waiting for good response.
bump for a good cause!
We’re one of the most committed communities across all of blizzard, and it’s gut wrenching to feel so completely devalued at every turn.
You already got my D2:R money, but if I truly mean nothing to your company it’s hard to imagine I’ll be investing any more into Hearthstone/WoW/Starcraft/future diablo games. It would be amazing if someone at blizzard reading this actually looked at my account info to confirm that too. I’m not blowing smoke about how involved I’ve been with your company, and the knife in the back is pretty plainly visible.
Blizzard in recent years has really given the impression they’d rather go down in flames than retain customers.
You’ll tell new players frustrated by the challenges of just playing the game where they can find resources to learn and play. But when a community of people who’ve been steeply involved in your company for longer than any of your current staff has been employed there is BEGGING for help making their game playable, or even just any form of acknowledgement, you turn a deaf ear.
RIP, blizz
We all knew this was coming when activision bought you out, but it doesn’t make it any less sad.
