I don’t recall it being that time consuming either. The spacing between the waypoints felt like a logical checkpoint to stop after each session.
I also didn’t go for any “perfect” builds either. Most were pretty bad actually, but fun. My main character was a necromancer who wielded a huge hammer.
Nightmare and Hell difficulties were much harder, and I imagine that grind would become severe here.
Not gonna lie, also don’t understand any of this grind talk, me and my brothers just played it for the fun and by the time the end was reached we were fulfilled, no need for grinding I feel, guess it depends on the difficulty in the end though.
Also did anyone here opt in for the tech alpha? I did, I sometimes get lucky with these things, so I hope I get to check it out
You can sign up for alpha testing
Thanks! I opted in.
Me too, I kinda want the game, I just feel that if you own the original version we should get a proper discount.
that would be nice, but how to prove you have the original since it was never on blizz app
oh snap you are right, I just saw I linked my War 3 years ago there as well, I completely forgot XD
My Diablo II isn’t linked. I must see how to do it. Actually have two copies I think. The original CD and the one that came with the Diablo III Collector’s Edition.
The one from the D3:CE should be linked. That’s where mine came from.
Where do I see the Classic games on the Battlenet website?
Okay no, I don’t even have a classic section. I played all those games before I created a Battle.net account.
So I guess you never claimed the copy that came with your D3?
I seem to recall putting in a serial into battle.net somewhere. Maybe try the D2 code at https://eu.battle.net/shop/en-us/checkout/key-claim
or maybe here

If you have the boxes for them just add them by their licenses to your account
Thanks, I must go have a look.
Thanks! I got the keys from the Collector’s Edition box and entered them and voila:
Great!
Something new to clog up your games list 
I’m scared for my free time…
Going back and installing the old D2 and even trying plugy, it’s an awful experience on the current defacto OS and hardware. I think even new years has a higher resolution 
If nothing else, I look forward to playing it, but will probably never put as much time into it again. But fuck early adoption, beta testing, and pre-orders. I’ll wait a month and check many gameplay videos, before they pry any money out of my cold dead hands.
