The new update for Diablo 2 has not only introduced a new class but also a stash that is meant to make life easier for all players. However, the veterans are not satisfied.
What is wrong with the stash? While modern ARPGs typically offer seemingly infinite stash space, at least for real money, everything was different 25 years ago when Diablo 2 was released. The stashes were small, and players had to resort to alternatives, such as creating their own characters solely to store items.
However, with the new update of the game, the developers have significantly simplified the stash options. As is common in modern ARPGs, a stash has been added so that players can finally store all their items neatly. But that’s not good enough for the veterans.
After 25 years, Diablo 2 has a new class:
Full stash after a short time
Where are the issues? Even if the new stash from the developers is a step in the right direction, it seems that the developers at Blizzard have underestimated the “collecting desire of the veterans.” Because they are already complaining on Reddit about the lack of space in the stash after only a short time.
It seems that the veterans dissolved their stash characters to pack their items into the stash. As a result, the stashes quickly became full, and it turns out that some players now have hardly any space left for more items.
Thus, the veterans write:
- inypark36 laughs on Reddit: “The developers have definitely underestimated the ‘collecting frenzy’ of us Diablo 2 veterans. Lol”
- Bulletchief expresses disappointment on Reddit: “I was super disappointed when I learned about the 99 stack size… It’s so dumb… 999 would have been fine, but 99? Silly.”
- corry29 explains on Reddit how the update changes everything: “I literally had a character named Keys. I deleted them last night”
- longbrodmann looks forward to Reddit: “These are updates that we deserve.”
Is the feature bad? No, not at all. The developers have done many players a favor with the stash. The fact that the stashes are now overflowing only proves how necessary it was to move items from all those stash characters.
In this case, Blizzard simply underestimated how much stuff players actually have and should have equipped the stashes with more space so that all players could truly do without stash space in the future.
Instead of disparaging the feature, players just want even more of it, which can be seen as the greatest compliment to Blizzard. If a new patch in a few weeks provides some relief, the developers will have done everything right with this feature.
