    They could be testing the new login servers they are adding to the cluster and forgetting to make them non-public. I expect tomorrow they are going to be SUPER slammed. Does anyone know off the top of their head where Blizzard hosts their infra?

    Down to 40 min; going to get there and see " No servers are Available to fulfill this request" due to Joey the server admin leaving a login server on after running a test for tomorrow with no DB and game servers up, I bet. Fuck you Joey!!!

    Oh no doubt. I will have more time next weekend but I want to at least try all 5 to see. I didnt think I would like Sorc as much as I did. Ended up tonight at almost 22, having played every side quest I could find. There were a couple of really good ones in the mix there; we'll see what the...

    So I just thought I was having a good time with sorc until I got legendries that gave me some awesome kill on life, an extra cast of hydra and the enchant passive for blizzard cast on myself every 6 sec. Now I just cast double max hydras, max blizzard and max frost nova and watch stuff fall...

    I liked it with some caveats. -Barb/Melee def seems disadvantaged, particularly in boss fights. Maybe its just me? Probably its just my build sucks. I don't know. Its fine to walk around in but the harder mobs punish close range, which I need to be at least some of the time. The first boss...

    20 years? Fucking Wing Commander had shitty escort quests everyone hated. 1990, IIRC? They have been with us forever because they're hard and they suck and Devs know it and they hate you.

    Windows 11 is terrible. MS is still on the every other OS version bad™ program. My Corp has a high end contract with MS for services and I give our reps, who are really friends at this point "feedback" about it. They still love me from the Skype->Teams upgrade where we lost several important...

    Al this depends on three things: 1) A core team of Leads, Project Managers, and techs who can execute technically and know their limits, as well develop the vision and can present that to Executives who believe in it; 2) Executives who give said Leads/Teams/Techs the space and resources to make...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    Some are indeed Diablo based but many others are not, and cover a variety of games. I mean, Shills are going to shill but people are watching reviewers as closely if not more than the games they cover: It's pretty easy to blow your credibility hyping up a terrible game, particularly one we are...

    I don't trust Blizzard. AT ALL. They are just another woke California game maker now, their glorious history lost to the dustbin of time. Who I do trust are the people who have seen the game, though, Skillup, Rhykker, Fextralife, Khraze, etc. and they all say the game is good. That's enough...

    Destiny 2 - Clan Link 1st Post

    I loved the aesthetic in the trailers but much less impressed with in-game; also, at least early on, the run between Nimbus and Rohan/Osiris every time is too long and reminds me of someone trying to duplicate Austin Powers-Era Britain; Sheesh the Neomudi are terrible interior decorators. <don't...

    Sweet Business and the Titan Auto Loading Chest forever! I thought I was the only one. Future War Cult armor, Sweet Business, and never stop shooting. They made upgrade modules more expensive/harder to attain in the Expansion which makes me worry about the distance between upgrades but there...

    Nice strawman: No one ( I mean me) said anything about "retconning". It will be bad, unsatisfying storytelling, though. "SAURON'S NOT A BAD GUY, HE'S JUST MISUNDERSTOOD!!1" "There's no Light side and Dark side of the Force!!!" Forecast says: Probably disappointing.

    Hogwarts Legacy

    I have seen this mentioned a few times, hopefully they are working on a fix. I apparently burned Arn's broom upgrade: after I got his carts back, he says he should give me a reward but because I hadn't unlocked brooms yet, he just disappeared. I had the money but no option to buy it. When you...

    Ashes of Creation

    I got your point. I wasn't commenting on your post, per se, I was commenting on the game itself. The Korean/Chinese artstyle is OK but every time I see it now I associate it with steady attacks on my wallet. Agreed with the sentiment that I am super-excited to explore the gameworld. Really...

    Go back to the post with Ut's controller settings. I will look it up later and repost but don't have much time now. After making those changes it worked way better for me. I really struggled to get a handle of the combat combos and controller button combinations with this game, though. I am...

    well, the ability to put points in the talent tree is unlocked after a certain point but this game slow rolls *everything* out, including spells needed to access certain quests and areas of the game. I mean, no big deal but its something everyone is going find; its not a story detail, just a...

    Is that a spoiler? I don't think so. I don't remember if I read it but someone said they didn't want to carry items for Transmog but everything you pick up is added to transmog permanently, so you can immediately sell it and then change what you just found back to your original look for free...

    PS5 Performance is great. Camera is super fucking close in performance mode, though, ugh. Game is 21st century Woke on the down low. Its all there: Just hit a quest and old broad said my wife loves X. Random side quest has interracial couple, black man in top hat with Irish wife. Game loaded...

    Hogwarts Legacy

    For all of the Anti-JKR hate and boycotting of the game, the actual game itself is so 2020's DEI. Hero Trans Bar owner: Magic and shit but not good enough to pass, 19th Century Wizarding Britain that looks like London 2050, etc etc. The good news is the actual game is fun and well made. None...

    If you don't like what you get, you can delete your Wizarding World account and use the same information right away to start another. There are also guides to help you get the Patronus/House you want. After getting a Pheasant/Mole/Salmon, I finally got a Thestral. Still unsure of the House I...

    2022-23 NFL Season : Herbert's march to Glendale

    Also the intentional grounding penalty when Mahomes threw the ball away in the same exact circumstances. Lots of home cooking penalties today. Block in the back on the punt return was so egregious. NFL refs suck but in these critical games, penalties that swing the outcome suck so fucking much.
