They patched-in Hardcore mode within the last week, for those of you who may have been in beta but stopped because of the borked multi-player. I haven't tried it yet but I believe MP play is fixed as well.
I'm surprised I'm enjoying it enough I've gone ahead and preordered. I still can't get in to D2 at all, having tried it one last time in the last month.

Awesome. I think I have the Collections Edition boxed set on preorder.
I tried to play Diablo 2 a couple weeks ago and I just kept getting an 'Unhandled Exception; Access Violation' when I tried to launch it and haven't taken the time to Google how to fix it.

I've had the CE on preorder at Amazon for awhile, and have dumped some promo credits into the order, down to $69.95.

Love the release date. Love the timing for the summer, and love the CE I have in Amazon as well.  |

This is the first Blizzard product I'm not thinking about buying in CE form.

I think I scoffed at this killing off SWTOR, but this release date might actually do it for me. I won't be long done with ME3 when his rolls around, and I've still got my raging LoL habit.  |

Hurrah, finally! Pre-ordered this on... 28th Feb 2011. Longest pre-order I've ever had. Will be glad to finally get it off my Amazon "open orders" page.  |

Actually, no, not had a single one of those! Might be cos it's amazon.co.uk though, they're a LOT less spammy than .com is. |

If you are going to be playing 100% hardcore add me on steam, 'hoax415'.

If Torchlight 2 isn't out before May 15th, even with the cheaper price point and Steam availability I think they are in a bit of trouble, which kinda sucks. |

Still the best way to game. Load up D3 through Steam, and use overlay and voice comms as you want. |

You didn't. Steam lets you use it as a launcher for non-Steam apps if you want.

Haha wow I just realized I forgot that b.net exists I've had no reason to use it since WC3. I guess you don't need to add me on steam because we're sure to have a big thread of b.net names and why add another layer of complication.

You can't make a hardcore character until you beat the campaign once. That'll take me at least a week. I can't do crazy hours anymore. |

Will they still delete all your toons from b.net if you don't log in for a while?
I can't count how many of my D2 playthroughs got wiped from taking an extended break and then forgetting to refresh my stuff.

What's the over/under on the RMT AH being pulled down for the first dupe?
I'm thinking 6 hours.

I play D2 exclusively on hardcore now, but wanting to do it that way the first time through is beyond my understanding. Duriel alone would have broken my will ten times over.

As it stands in the beta atm you can make a hardcore character once you've levelled a softcore one to level 10 which takes about an hour or 2. |

I will be playing both hardcore and non-hardcore characters. Mostly hardcore though - but not for the first few days.

Also, I just want to say I'm a little miffed that the only way to get the wings and armor dyes is to have a giant fucking white box on the shelf. Charge me $10 more on the digital version Blizzard, I don't give a fuck, I only buy 2 games from you a goddamn decade.

Will be playing hardcore and normal characters. I intend to use all 10 character slots so I can have one of each character in both modes.
