Returning to our beloved Diablo 2, has brought with it many new teachings & insights. And it is only right to share, that which I have now learnt. This Diablo 2 Guide is the go to resource for all d2 singleplayer related resources, covering an extensive list of tips, strategies, resources, software, mods, builds and.

Diablo 2 is on the list of those games that we still enjoy playing today. Originally released in 2000, Diablo 2 + Lord of Destruction have been a staple action RPG hack and slash in the gaming community. In fact, it’s one of the only games we know of that has been played many years after it’s release.

With the gaming industries shift into remastered old games for the new generation of gamers and hardware. There had been some hype about Diablo 2 HD remastered, amongst the other blizzard classics.

With the news of Starcraft Remastered, that hope and anticipation has rekindled.

Seeing the execution of Starcraft Remastered, watching the interview with the producer, in addition to tweets like this. Helped build quite the stir and excitement.

For anyone who cares, diablo 4 and diablo 2 remastered will also be announced. 🙂 #BlizzCon2019

— Metro (@Metro_OW) October 18, 2019

Diablo 2 Remastered will most likely be happening at some point. But after seeing the execution of Warcraft 3 Reforged. It leaves us questioning its success if attempted. Given that it is mechanically the most difficult of the classic titles to recreate. And that everyone from the original team is long gone.

Though in general and in themost ideal circumstances, Diablo 2 and other classic titles should still be improved on and updated so that they remain staple titles for the gaming community. With basic and straight forward improvements that will allow players to enjoy these games with their new hardware and gaming standards.

So what would these improvements and updates look like?



Simple Features & Improvements Diablo 2 Needs

Performance Improvements For New Hardware

Comparing the PC’s of early 2000’s with today’s machines is like comparing primitive stone weapons to assault rifles. There has been a dramatic rise in power and performance and even the most basic laptops outperform the high-end desktop computers of the years passed. Your 512mb of ram is a joke now and no longer the envy of your friends. Games like Diablo 2 should naturally better utilise this power and performance. D2 still has a tendency to lag sometimes.

In saying that, my return has come by very few performance issues and the shift from disk to standalone game client as been a part of that improvement. Very little graphical glitches, lags and hike ups, but I may be one of the lucky few.

Auto Coin Pickup Feature

Another feature that stood out and would improve the gamers experience. Is the auto-coin pickup feature that Diablo 3 has and that Diablo 2 has been missing all these years. Clicking to pickup coins seems excessively time-consuming in comparison and in many ways stops the flow of the game.

Sure, we’re happy to pick up potions, scrolls and other important items for survival. However, having to watch out for large stacks of coin and running around picking them up, quickly gets old and tedious. And something the new generation might not have the patience for when they are continuously fed more user-centric titles.

Why pickup coins when items sell for good prices and you can save hours, ignoring them. So the auto coin pickup feature could be a reasonable move forward. Though unlikely to happen as it would deviate too much from the original.

More Resolutions For The Wide Screened

Being able to play the game on higher and more diverse resolutions has been a common desire from the Diablo 2 community. The current resolutions being 640×480 and 800×600 are quaint.

However, when mods such as MultiRes exist that grants players more options, there is really no reason for the actual game to not incorporate such features. Blizzard can easily afford to bring on the person responsible for the MultiRes mod to come onboard and build the feature in-game. A major win-win scenario for all.

This leaves the issue with the 4k screens. To expect old titles to meet the standards of today’s 4k monitors is a bit too much, even Age of Empires II HD did not meet this demand. And nor should they. But it seems to be technically viable as more and more remastered titles are being produced.

Expecting classic titles to all invest in 4k resolutions (which will never happen) so that you can play it on your 4k monitor is a symptom of you living in a fairy tale. Fortunately, Blizzard has the resources and has managed to make Starcraft (1998) into a 4k title. Which will most likely mean the same for Diablo 2 (2000)?

Read this discussion on steam about Age of Empires II: HD Edition, for a better understanding of the situation.

Right Click to Sell and Move Items

Having to individually drag and drop every item when selling or moving about gear and gems is archaic, like the original 56k dial-up the game was played on. Streamline the process by simply bringing in the right click to sell and move mechanic, that so many other RPGs have adopted today.

Turns out ctrl + left click on item = 1 click sell

Wish someone had told me this a long time ago. But no matter, now we know. Perhaps a tutorial/tip feature is what is needed here. Read my Diablo 2 – Mastery Guide for more information and tips that you may have been missing.



Upgradable Stash and Stash Share

Might be asking for too much here. But having the opportunity to expand the size of our stash (Chest) is very appealing to the human instinct to hoard loot. A rare item triggers new incentive for new characters and builds and that means more play time. This would be appealing for both the singleplayer and multiplayer player base.

On second thought, having a small stash is kind of cool and minimalist and forces the player to choose wise what they keep and how they manage their space. And half the game is the quest for the ideal gear so this change might just be too dramatic.

Respecing of Skills and Attributes

One thing Diablo 3 did that really improved the gaming experience was it allow players to respec and change their builds. This was a major feature that Diablo 2 had lacked and was a major frustration for the more casual players that needed more time to level (Single Player). Because if you changed your mind or accidentally misplaced a skill point. That was it, you had to start all over or live with that misused skill point for the rest of your characters lifetime.

Thankfully Blizzard made a change to this in patch 1.13 all the way back in 2010. It makes it much more playable today, with my short attention span and reduced gaming hours.

Mouse Sensitivity Option

Accurate mouse targeting on Diablo II has always been a bit tricky, but something that we often overlooked. Though it becomes more obvious when you play melee characters or switch up your mouse. So the option to be able to manage this better through a cursor sensitivity option would be excellent.

Eliminate or Limit Those Bots

Item and currency selling bots have been a long term theme of the Diablo 2 Battle.net experience. However, coming back to it now, it seems that they are uncontrolled and running amuk. Having a bot enter games every 5 minutes and spam four to five lines of advertising quickly becomes annoying and impacts player experience and perception. One or two intelligently placed limitations can dramatically reduce their activity.

D2 Facebook community comment “Add a captcha for joining games, gets rid of the botters. Come oooon blizzard!”

Battle.net Incorporation

Having the game incorporated into battle.net would be hugely beneficial and most likely the case, as is with Starcraft Remastered. Which will enable systems for shared Stash features and better bot eliminating infrastructure.

To Conclude

With it’s old-school graphics and gameplay, Diablo 2 still has a great deal of charm and much to offer all types of gamers. It is definitely worth a playthrough or two and one of our most iconic games.

And for those that are still on the Diablo 2 vs Diablo 3 debate, answer me this. Why would anyone, after so many years comeback to the game when they own Diablo 3? Sure the game has many added conveniences and gameplay features. But, Diablo 2 still conquers in many aspects. And thousands of active players will agree.

We are at a time when huge systematic and mechanical changes aren’t surprising in the gaming environment anymore. And both players and developers should be open minded about minor changes and overhauls that improve older, timeless games and make them more relevant with the times.

Who needs Diablo 4? When Diablo 2 has huge potential for market growth and player base expansion with one third, if not less of an effort, budget and marketing.

If you’re on a non-gaming setup, running old low-spec hardware or somehow thing Diablo 4 is what you need, think again. Go grab yourself the Diablo 2 Battlechest for $30 dollar or less and enjoy a lifetime of action-RPG goodness. It’s going to be some time before the D2 remastered, so don’t torture yourself!

There are a variety of game commands you may type while in Battle.net chat or in the game. All commands are typed at the very start of the prompt, preceded by a slash. Use control+C and control+V to copy and paste messages while in chat. More text manipulation shortcuts are listed further down this page.

Most commands can be used by just typing the first letter of the word. Instead of '/friends promote' just '/f p' for instance. Other shortcuts are listed in each section.


  • 8Target Line Commands
    • 8.1Full List of Target Line Commands

Communication Commands[edit]

All of these work in chat channels and in game.

  • /ignore (player): Squelches messages from this player.
  • /friends: (or /f) This displays help instructions on how to use the various friends commands. (See more on friends commands below.)
  • /msg (player): Sends a private message.
  • /msg (character name): Sends a private message.
  • /msg *(accountname): Sends a message to any character logged on from that account.
  • /msg (D2 [email protected]): Allows messages to be sent between the realms: USWest, USEast, Asia, or Europe
  • /d2notify: Diablo II: Toggle channel enter/leave notifications
  • /reply replies to the last message sent
  • /squelch (player): Ignore messages from this player.
  • /unsquelch (player): Turns off squelch for this player.
  • /unignore (player): Turns off squelch for this player.
  • /users: Displays all number of users, games and channels on the server.
  • /w (player): Sends a private message.
  • /who (channel): Lists all the characters in a given channel.
  • /whoami: Displays your account information to you.
  • /whois (player): Displays that players info to you.
  • /whisper (player): Sends a private message.


Chat, Private Channel, and Op Commands[edit]

Commands that only work in chat. Some only work for channel ops in private channels.

  • /ban (player): Ban specified player. (Channel Ops only.)
  • /channel (channel): Join selected channel.
  • /clan (your name): Create a private clan channel with your name as the title.
  • /designate (username): Assigns a Channel Operator, if none is in place. This user will become the Op when the current Op leaves or resigns.
  • /kick (player): Kick specified player. (Channel Ops only.)
  • /rejoin: Rejoin current channel. (Useful after a desynch.)
  • /resign: Step down as the channel operator. (Channel Ops only.)
  • /stats (username): Shows the stats of a Starcraft player. It will always show 0-0-0 for Diablo players, because we are undefeated!
  • /unban (player): Unban specified player. (Channel Ops only)


Friends Commands[edit]

All these can be used with /friends or /f for faster typing. They work in chat channels or in game.

A handy shortcut is to use the number of someone on your friends, after the % key, instead of typing their name. For instance, /f %7 will send a message to the 7th person on your friends list. Or /f p %5 will promote the fifth person on your user list (to the 4th spot, unless you specify a number).

  • /f: Shows help about these commands.
  • /f list: (or /f l) Shows all of your friends and their current status.
  • /f add (accountname): (or /f a) Adds the account name to your friends list. Maximum friends = 25.
  • /f add (username): (or /f a) Adds the account name to your friends list. Maximum friends = 25.
  • /f add (charactername): (or /f a) Adds the account name to your friends list. Maximum friends = 25.
  • /friends remove (accountname): (or /f r) Removes that account from your friends list.
  • /friends msg (message): (alias: /f m) - Sends the message to everyone on your friends list. (Use sparingly to avoid getting squelched.)
  • /friends promote (accountname) (or /f p) Moves that friend up one slot (or to the inputted number) in your friends list.
  • /friends demote (accountname) (or /f d) Moves that friend down one slot (or to the inputted number) in your friends list.


Ignore Commands[edit]

Ways to control the messages you see.

  • /options ignorepublic (or /o igpub) - Ignore messages in public chat channels from anyone who isn't in your friends list.
  • /options unignorepublic (or /o unigpub) - Re-allows messages in public chat channels from anyone who isn't in your friends list.
  • /options ignoreprivate (or /o igpriv) - While in private channels you will not receive messages from anyone who isn't on your friends list.
  • /options unignoreprivate (alias: /o unigpriv) - While in private channels you will not receive messages from anyone who isn't on your friends list.
  • /options ignorewhispers (or /o igw) - Ignore whispers from anyone who isn't in your friends list.
  • /options unignorewhispers (or /o unigw) - Re-allows whispers from all users.


Status Commands[edit]

These work in chat channels and games.

  • /away (reason): Displays your away status and the explanation to players who might query you.
  • /dnd (reason) This command blocks all incoming messages and displays the supplied reason to the sender.


In-game Commands[edit]

These only work when typed into the chat box while playing the game. Many of the Chat Channel commands work in-game too, including all of the various messaging and ignoring controls.

A shortcut for repeating commands in game is to hit enter to open the chat box, and then use the up/down arrows to cycle through commands you sent out previously in that game. You can resend the same ones, or backspace to delete portions.

  • /framerate: Displays the same stats as /fps, but also includes some memory allocation information.
  • /fps: Shows ingame framerate. 25 is the maximum display rate for Diablo II.
  • /nopickup: Stops your character from picking up any items in that game unless holding the show item key (Alt). Useful for speed runs.
  • /players 1-8: Only in v1.09 and later. Only single player. Simulates more players in the game to increase drops and game difficulty. Can not be set to a lower number than the players in the game. See players x page for details.
  • /soundchaosdebug: Plays a jumble of every sound in the game. Type the command again to turn it off.
  • /time: Displays your local time and Battle.net server time.

Chat Shortcuts[edit]

These are basic Windows commands that work in Battle.net chat.

  • CTRL-X: Cuts the selected text
  • CTRL-C: Copies the selected text
  • CTRL-V: Pastes the selected text
  • CTRL-A: Select all text
  • CTRL-N: Pastes the name you have selected
  • ALT-N: Pastes the name you have selected
  • ALT-V: Toggle channel enter/leave notifications
  • ALT-W: Sends a private message to the selected user. (Also /w or /m. See above.)
  • TAB: Cycles through the last 10 commands
  • CTRL-M: Diablo II: Toggles music on Battle.net and the main menus.


Target Line Commands[edit]

Diablo 2 auto gold pickup

These are commands that change some basic functions of the game. They must be in place when the program starts up. To enable these, go to the shortcut you use to start up Diablo II, right click, select properties, and view the target field. The default installation yields this:

Add any commands after that, with a space between them. For instance:

Here's a short list of the most useful commands. The full list (most of which are without function) can be seen below.

  • act#: New characters will appear in that act, at the preset level, with unspent skill and stat points.
    • -act1: Characters are level 1 in act 1. (Default setting.)
    • -act2: Characters are level 16 in act 2.
    • -act3: Characters are level 21 in act 3.
