Early Release starts on my birthday. I am excited. Rubber banding is not a PC issue, its a server issue. Disconnects were mostly solved by Sunday, at least if there were any, you were typically kicked back to character select and then were able to go right back into the game. Not being able...

This got glossed over in the voice acting aside but there were a lot of great/good side quests in the Fractured Peaks; hopefully they aren't front loaded; just off the top of my head: -Black Asylum Boy -Hellraiser Husband - Wayward Brother -Memento Man in Margrave -The Exorcist -The Woodsman's...

I felt the same way at first but since I have really enjoyed watching folks play things I have thought about playing but never invested much time in, like Sons of the Forest or Conan Exiles, to either get an intro to the game or to see how certain things are accomplished, or just to enjoy the...

Or solved it by releasing the entire game, all five acts. Better yet, locking the doors and setting the building on fire. Fuck Blizzard for making another Diablo game after D2. BETTER YET: Releasing the SMOD into the Upper atmosphere because ungrateful fucks have to walk AND loot in game...

Now its too late for drunk posting/blackpilling, awww geez. This is a flagship IP of a multi-billion dollar corp; they aren't going to take too many chances or risks here. Even changes for the better would be criticized if it didn't touch people in the right way like it used to in the old...

Look, I appreciate that its no small amount of money but the fact that people are super resistant to any price increase at all is how we got horse armor, microtransactions, battle/season passes, etc. Games were 50 bucks 50 years ago when they cost 1/20th the price to make or something...

That is cope: "There is a super great build coming that makes this game amazing!!!" The game is what the game is. I like what I see though but don't expect too much more than that. They can fix and change a few things, as they stated: Add a gem bag, make it clear that you should use the...

Dev update talked about finding and fixing a number of backend/infra bugs. A bunch of changes announced; Gem tab/bag is coming as well I was steamrolling at 23 on my necro bone fragments/blood surge/corpse explosion/bone spear with a point in blood mist and almost full legendaries, including...

I was DC central for a while (6+ times, probaly 3 hours total waiting at the queue screen today) while my buddy was started playing much later today was fine, not a single DC at all. Weird and I wonder if there was some scenario/code test they were doing today. Seems unusual for some to...

Just had some in game crash, back to character screen but none of my characters, even a new one, could load. Exited game, restarted battle.net, 23 min queue. The differential experience must be a Datacenter/regional/geographic one. Its going to be an interesting tale of tape once we hear the...

Can't leave Koyabashistan at the moment. Reach the edge of town and just run in place forever; try to fast travel and go nowhere; inside of Kurkminstand and its fine. Server cluster issue, obviously. Probably load related, as others speculate. Would love to know how this is architected but...

Yeah, In Koivayshad I am getting some rubberbanding as well, can only imagine the amount of pounding the servers are getting at the moment with no pre-order requirement for the game. A million players got a character to level 20 last week; now with no purchase requirement and the hype, can...

Well, I want some Blizzard bucks because its perfect for me and OMG wow is the Necro powerful. I just completed Neriak or whatever the prologue area is and while my first character barb died like 8 times to the boss, not a single Skeleton died in killing him in record time. I never drank a...

Dude you know I love you but 11AM is too early to be drunk posting.

~20 min at 16:14 GMT. I was a few min late hitting the queue because I was ordering food. Not planning on leaving for the rest of the day, will just be watching FNT at 3:00PM CDT while playing.

I have seen reported that there is a closed Endgame (lvl 100+) beta ongoing with high-playtime D2 and D3 players. How much will things change? Things working not as intended may change. Things the Deva didn't foresee and receiving universal clamor may change. But anyone who thinks that they...

Thanks for trying, Mur. Those are super weird hops, it must be trying to find your closest/best/lowest ping location. Also:

I used to be a datacenter manager and wanted to see which company was doing their hosting; it seems like it was AT&T back in WoW heyday (which made sense as they were sitting on top of the biggest pipes and data was probably such a huge expense, and AT&T was looking to "branch out" ala Uncle...

No Joy as indicated: Edit: DOH and late.

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!!!

Somebody's not getting Friday Ice Cream.

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.

I use Start11 from Stardock which is like 5 bucks gets most of the changes I want back.

Kevin Feige's response:

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...

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...

I loved his comedy until I made the mistake of reading his twitter and found out that he is a Progressive psycopath. I don't mean a regular hollywood lunatic but an aggressively offensive Rob-Reiner-level TDS purveyor and...

My name is Byf has his initial thoughts up:

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...

I'll post about what the fuck I want to post about. I will beat whatever drum I like until the mods tell me different. Don't like them? Neg them or don't read them. IDGAF. I loved/had loved/still love the game and have spent hundreds/thousands of hours playing it across three platforms since...

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.

You've got to use the Darkness You've got to use the Strand You've got to use the Force, Luke They made us friends with everyone but the Vex (so far!). Bungie are worse than Marvel/DC making up shit as they go to keep people on the hook paying for shit. Already the Traveller sucks and only...
