Support NeoGAF

[Sn4ke_911]

Feels surreal this game is out in just a few hours! I'm afraid there will be huge problems to login in at midnight tho and probably won't be able to play until tomorrow.

Have they released a launch trailer for the game yet?

No.

Thanks. I was thinking of asking the shipper to unpack the CE, copy the cd key and email that to me while i wait for the CE to arrive. Does that sound desperate?

Yes, but do it anyway!

 

[fluffydelusions]

So when we are able to install will it allow us to login to our battle.net accounts and add some people to our friends list by battletag?

 

[Lombax]

ok I am kind of loosing my mind here. Anyone get a shipping confirmation from Amazon yet?

Don't think so. We will be able to stare at the login screen. :/

 

[Kem0sabe]

I never imagined any game would generate such an insanity laden thread on GAF. You guys are either sarcastically pandering to the fan boys or... shit, i dunno... your just crazy

 

[Truant]

Tried to buy the game from the Blizz store, but I get "An error has occured" or something. Tried both my Visa and a paypal account. I guess the service is being hammered.

Yeah kind of figured that Would be a nice way to kill some time.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Play Diablo 2! Unless you want to wait and get it with the CE.

In the US they won't ship them till tonight. I just wish they would change mine to shipping soon at least.

What's the most terrifying thing you could wake up to a Monday, besides the realities of going to work and having a math exam shortly after?

"We're writing to let you know the payment for order #: 002-1082303-9629803 has been declined"

...fuck me.

 

[scy]

So the number wizard can't do math? tsk tsk

Cut me some slack, I hadn't had any coffee yet!

In retrospect, I should have realized since nobody in the thread mentioned installing yet.

I havent gone on total media blackout, but after hearing people had a copy of the art book and a large thread of spoilers on reddit was going, I didnt want to take any chances. After people spoiled SC2 and Kerrigan posting information from the art book, I want to learn about the fate of the major Diablo characters by playing the game first.

I hear ya on that. We managed to be pretty good about at least marking spoilers in the thread. Kind of a relief, actually. And a surprise :x

That's in Japan! I see Katakana in the background.

I can see the Japanese flag in the background.

I tried to play all weekend and all I could do was think about wanting to play D3. It made the wait harder...

Wow, sorry dude. I'm sure I'll get an out of stock message from walmart for my CE purchase. Hope not though.

Is there at least a window to get that sorted out? Or you just left with going for a digital copy now?

 

[Negator]

Well, not really. You wouldn't know, so you can't be terrified about it.

 

[arts&crafts]

I hope Blizzard releases Launch Trailer / more STUFF today to tide me over for the next 24 hours (I will probably wake at 9am tomorrow)

 

[Zia]

So... no review embargo? The outlets play their copies just like us peasants?

Also, does anyone have a link to the Blue post about overwriting your Annual Pass copy with a CE?

 

[StriKeVillain]

I almost started hyperventilating looking at the payment was declined post.

 

[Niks]

hmh, can't get that Mark of Valor thing to work, as soon as i click "Finish" the button just disappears but nothing happens :E

same.

I dunno. All I know is you get 4 free months of WoW time.

Time to trade in a bunch of old used games at Gamestop.

 

[TheApatheticOne]

For those who ordered from Amazon.com:

- Orders will switch from 'Shipping Soon' to 'Shipped' anywhere from now to 7-8 pm EST.
- Sometimes email confirmation wont come until later.
- In buying almost 100% of my games from them for three years almost (a very good amount), this is how it always is. They have never failed to get a release date delivery game to me on the release date. Chill. : )

This!

 

[oneils]

I guess I'm the only sucker getting the CE at walmart. I guess thats what happens when you wait until last minute. lol

I bought mine on March 13th. Walmart was the only game in town, even two months ago (I'm in Canada). Looks like I will receive it on Thursday. In the meantime I will drool in this thread.

Better get my drool cup ready!

Get a paper bag and breathe into it deeply.

 

[neoism]

Um... are you sure you've done it right :3?

shame it asks me everytime... I didn't click that option.
Also I don't have a iphone so I guess I can't make any money... :/ Does anyone know if you can use SMS protect with an ipod touch or do you need a pohne.

 

[anotherVegan]

Anyone else here enjoy Diablo 1 much more than Diablo 2?

I'm getting mine from Walmart.ca also. Mine says I'll get the game on Friday though. I ordered earlier than you, how is yours saying Thursday?

 

[Kem0sabe]

I think ill go with the digital download, tho i´m still deciding on either buying it through a cd-key site or give in to blizzard´s overpriced battle net version.

Anyone know if they have banned users with cd-keys from external sites before on their games? Thinking Starcraft 2 and WoW here.

 

[hitsugi]

Well what happened was.. apparently I've had the wrong month entered in for my Amazon card for a year now and it's only now presented itself as a problem. I corrected it, but chances are I'm going to have to go digital in order to play tomorrow. We'll see though.

 

[profit]

Screw it, not going looking for early releases. Sun shining, warm weather.... I'm just going skating for a couple of hours, I'll go do some stores tomorrow when I finish work.

 

[kyubajin]

Man, I have the CE pre-ordered from Amazon UK since February (estimated dispatch day 18...), I'm attending a midnight launch today at a local store and if I see one laying around I'mma grab the motherfucker right away! Really wanted to have an English edition but oh well, Spanish should suffice.

If going digital I advise to get it direct from Blizzard

Anyone know what the record Game OT length on GAF has been before the game itself has launched?

Freaking out is just how this works :x But, yeah, I've had no issues with Amazon deliveries being on-time ever since they started doing RDD.

For your actual account, it'll ask every time. For logging in to play, it'll ask every time for a short while before going to every few logins. At least, that's my understanding of it.

Thank you!!

Well, not really. You wouldn't know, so you can't be terrified about it.

Well, knowing (beforehand) that you won't wake up when one of your favorite games is being released is terrifying.

Anyone know what sort of performance to expect running off a Firewire 800 external drive?

Not sure my bootcamp partition is going to fit 15gb...

for nostalgic reasons, yes I like Diablo 1 better then 2.
