Yes thats right, you download the installer. Then tomorrow at 4pm (I think) you can install it and patch, enter your code (if you can't already?) and then at 11pm you can log in and play (provided the servers work )
Wow ok thanks so how come the installer wasn't available before? cause i didnt see it and its 5:01 cst so i guess that is 4:01 pm our time
Cant install either, guess there are a few gremlins to be expected.
Someone gave me a starter pass on reddit.com, there are a couple of big threads about guest passes and people who have received their games are giving them out, but its a lottery really as obviously lots of people asking for them.
You can install the game now. Royal Mail has Screwed me
And when i get the guest pass, what do i do with it? Do i put in the code on battle net and the installer i already downloaded becomes a trial till i get my copy?
Basically can i use the installer i already had? Thanks
You can install the game now but it needs to be activated Royal mail has screwed me
Well activation is required to play yes, but you can still install and patch it, try those threads on reddit and you may get given a guest pass. I think all SEs come with 2 and CEs come with 3 so there should be people with them just sitting in the box. After 30 days they are useless as starter edition is open to all anyway so most people are giving theirs out now ^^

yes you just put the code in on battlenet as if you were adding a game. It comes up with starter edition and two links either to upgrade or buy the digital version. The client is the same for everyone, just when you log in your bnet account will realise its a starter edition and so you can play to lvl 13 only, only talk to other starter editions etc
LOl thanks, it went to my email and not in the DS message.

For those who wants to be in the game on time, start it up cause the cutscene is long and cant be skipped on the 1st try. Also in the news section where you log in, its saying open beta has closed. is anyone else having that?

yeah, and says battlenet is down for maintenance when you try to log in, all normal.
hope i dont have to spend too long waiting to log in later :P
May as well goto bed early tonight and get up early
yeah i'll give it a little go at 11, sit reading a book and trying to log in periodically if its bad, but will probably just end up going to bed and waking up at 4, usually wake up around 5.30 anyway so i expect as soon as i open my eyes tomorrow i'll think...diablo....:D

Royal Mail, do not let me down
Do you have physical or digital copy? And you need to wait till 4:01 pm UK time to install
Hey thanks! I went on the Battle Net website and found it out...
They could have put it on the site when you try to install. And I have a physical copy of the game!
Not long now, though!
Can't wait!
Awesome news! If anyone fancies playing tonight, or any time, we should have a DS get together!
My copy didn't come. How did u get a starter pass? Can I get one so I play tonight? Pls?
@ stuart might not be able to join you, need starter pass

It is past 8am PST right?
Has to be, if not, then we wait till after 5pm
Edit:- Fixed and now installing..7 hours togo
