Diablo II up on Blizzards store for Digital Download...

[BlueTsunami]

$20 for D2 $40 for D2 + LoD

now you don't have a reason to not get it!

[Narag]

must find my key...

[WrikaWrek]

I would play it, but, i would just want to play SP, so i don't know how good the SP is, and doesn't the game look like...fucking ugly by now?

[Draft]

Are dudes actually jumping back into D2? I'm reinstalling as I type...

Actually, not really. I mean, for an 800x600 game stretched out on my 1680x1050 LCD, it actually holds up pretty well.

[Don Flamenco]

can I use my hard copy key to play a downloaded version?  I hate getting up to put in discs and I can't crack the game.

You can put your key in the store for a digital license and the most recent patch was nocd.

whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat? Goddamn I love you Blizzard but I wish you'd told me this 10 minutes ago.

[Don Flamenco]

sweetness. sad as it is, I will play the game more now that I don't have to fish the cd out 

[Narag]

Going to install tomorrow sometime if I can find my cd-keys.

[BlueTsunami]

I would get D2 but I'm currently unemployed and broke :< . Soon though. Once I get my first paycheck at my next place of employment, I'll be getting D2

[Cormacaroni]

how can so many people have a copy of the CD but not the CD key? it's like some epidemic of forgetfulness and disorganization.

I know you are joking but that is seriously the scourge of the classic PC gamer.

I have so many discs crammed into CD wallets and binders that are useless because the corresponding key is attached to a manual or jewel case that has been demolished, forgotten, lost or left behind over the years. It's heartbreaking.

[Candyflip]

40 dollars for a 7 year old game? You can probably find keys for half that on ebay.

[CajoleJuice]

WTF, $40?

I'll stick to TQ.

[Narag]

$30 at amazon and $30 at GS/EB due to the game days sales i think.

[CajoleJuice]

Even then.

[Narag]

I get where you're coming from. Just tossed that out there just in case though.

[AdmiralViscen]

Yea wtf, Starcraft battle chest has been $20 for years.

[demi]

Blizzard using their announcement to scam their userbase...

Yes, I'm joking. But when I put CDs in binders, I put the inserts and keys in there along with them, and also put the keys in a .txt file. It's not that hard. I guess this is another way in which Steam points the way forward eh.

[FatalT]

I've got a 41 blizz sorc since the ladder reset a week ago. PLAY WITH ME BITCHES

[Draft]

I've got a freezer bag stuffed with manuals and the inserts of jewel cases. It's not exactly fool proof 

[Narag]

Things I've found in the search for my starcraft cd-key:
The disc
the insert
Broodwar

I hope I didn't throw the case away. 

[pilonv1]

how big is diablo 2? i might get the digital version today

fuck i should try this on my eee pc

downloader says 1.51 GB. no idea for the expansion.

[BlueTsunami]

$40 is a bit much, I could swear I saw the Diablo II battle chest at Target for $30. I originally wanted to get the Baldur's Gate boxset that was $30 at Target but the day I went back to get it, someone had already gobbled it up.

I would be doing this too but there's the whole "Not being able to connect to Battle.net" issue :/

[Narag]

477MB for the expansion.

[Don Flamenco]

uh, anyone else having trouble connecting to Battle.net?  it says my CD-key was "intended for another product."  but I just registered at the blizzard store...and they say it's valid.

About a year ago, I put all my CD games in a big binder and made a list of all my CD-Keys, and then put all my boxes and manuals into storage. Convenient, but if that binder ever gets stolen, I will cry for a long time.

some fuck walked off with thousands of dollars of DVDs i had in a few binders

that was when i decided that i'm not going to buy DVDs anymore

unless they're old shaw brothers films and even then i'm copying them and watching the copies, keeping the originals locked away

that shit was QUITE a blow

why not put your list of cdkeys in a text file.

[Don Flamenco]

I guess no one else is having this problem^^^

fuck!   Well, at least they have a program where you can send in your old key for a new one.

[BlueTsunami]

People downloading the game seem to have this problem, unfortunately :/

that makes me feel a little better.  where are you reading about this?  I'd like to pile on Blizzard so they fix this shit. 

Not even sure what would tip the game off like that...installing it on different PCs, accessing from different IPs? 

[BlueTsunami]

I've read a bunch of comments in the GAF Diablo II and III threads. People doing the Digital Download thing try to use their keys and get the same error (basically, invalid keys). And yeah, I hope Blizzard rectifies this quickly. Some people don't do Offline DII which makes the product worthless if you can't connect to Battlenet.

[Don Flamenco]

I normally play offline, but thought I would give online a swing since everyone raves about it. 

[y2kev]

I would play it, but, i would just want to play SP, so i don't know how good the SP is, and doesn't the game look like...fucking ugly by now?

Actually, not really. I mean, for an 800x600 game stretched out on my 1680x1050 LCD, it actually holds up pretty well.

I'm downloading it as soon as the keys work. Also, someone at GAF was like THIS WOULD BE GREAT ON WII.

diablo 3.
640x480

Maybe he was talking about Diablo 2.

[FatalT]

Level 53 now bitches.

[Howard Alan Treesong]

I got back to my Barb, and again, I'm playing single player in case I get bored and want to respec hack later on

[Don Flamenco]

Key works on U.S. West now, apparently.  Good deal. 


so...what do I need to know about Diablo II online? 

[Crushed]

[youtube=425,350]d1hF2E1-Inw[/youtube]

Deckard Cain.

[Joe Molotov]

Maybe he was talking about Diablo 2.

I would kill a man for Diablo 2 on PSP. 

KILL.

A MAN.

Why would you even say that? I can only imagine trying to play Diablo 2 with the PSP nub. And I'm not imaging that it would be something good.

[Crushed]

The buttons would erode away after about a week.

[BlueTsunami]

The Nub should be fine, its doable with Ultima. The problem is the hotkey situation but I think one could manage. I mean, once again, look at Ultima!

[Shuri]

d1 psx was nice for what it was. Speaking of PSX port of classic pc titles, I picked up Crusader No Remorse the other day; its still pretty neat, and the psx port is good

[Howard Alan Treesong]

Imma making a USWest Sorc

[Himu]

I made an Amazon named Naomi. She rapes the undead with her long javelin.

[Himu]

This game's soundtrack is godly.

[Crushed]

God, G2Buy.com is taking a long-ass time sending me my LOD CD Key.

[Howard Alan Treesong]

I'm always playing in evilbore/evilbore when I'm on US West

[Crushed]

CD Key just arrived, only $2.65 and it works perfect. Now I see why G2Buy is where all the goons buy their D2 stuff.


I've always played Barbarian, but during my solo I got bored with the nitty gritty. Now I wanna try something new, like a Necro or Assassin. I tried a little Assassin earlier, niccas didn't stand a chance against my blades.

[Himu]

can of you guys gimme some diablo 2 tips for a nub starting out? Like, is it advisable to sell items?

[Van Cruncheon]

pick up blues and class specific items (like staves). sell them.

[Himu]

What about these unidentified items? How do I identify them?

Holy shit. Just noticed in the skills menu there's a tab for javelins. Fuck I've been pooling in bows and arrows at this point. Oh well, I'm only like level 4.

[Joe Molotov]

Also you can talk to Deckard Cain to identify your stuff.

[Darunia]

Just got back into this game, playing singleplayer with a paladin yesterday. What are his best skills? Right now I only put points in Thorns and Zeal (the multi attack thing). Those seemed like the best for the level I'm at now (17)
