Iv had my opt-in ever since you could opt-in and i haven't got mine yet :(. I'm starting to wonder if blizzard sends them out to mac users more so than pc users.

Without wishing to depress you too much, the pool of people they have to (fairly randomly) choose from is massive.

What? You mean, as in there won't be any Aussie/NZ servers when the game is released, ever??

My bad, at the time there were plans for now Aussie or NZ Servers. But now there seem to be. Found this on

http://us.battle.net/d3/en/services/auction-house/regions

Auction house purchases are bound to the servers in the region in which they're bought. Any items acquired on the Australia/New Zealand/Southeast Asia servers, in-game or otherwise, are bound to those servers and are not transferrable to the North American servers (and vice versa). Please keep this in mind when making purchases in the auction house.

So there must be AUS/NZ Servers?

Maybe the player base in those areas are larger than they expected? Or maybe there won't be an AUS/NZ specfic server, but a whole eastern server? Similar to the NA and Oceanic of WoW?

No PVP, no play.

That's one game scratched off the list.

I'm betting by the time you would have (you know, since youre not buying it now) hit level 60 the patch will probably be close to coming out. I'd rather get my gear in order before getting into PvP anyway. Oh well, more server bandwidth for me!

Nope, no Paladin.....the only returning classes are Barbarian and Wizard (sorceress). I guess you could argue that demon hunter = amazon, but not really, only 1 thing in common w/ amazon (ranged attacks). If you had to pick a class that was closest to paladin though, Monk...they have a few Aura's (called Mantra's) they can use that do different things (life regen, dodge rating increase, etc), but really very few of the classes are anything like the original D2 classes, so lack of paladin isn't really surprising.

oh well, guess I'll have to hope for a paladin option in the first expansion

Out of curiousity has anyone played the beta on a Mac? If so, how well does it run because I'm getting the iMac 27" with 8 gb of ram and the highest gpu for that model.

Uhh no your not getting that piece of crap, your going to out buy a case then buy the computer parts and put them inside the case.

At first, No PVP at first release seemed bad. But after a little thought, it is ok. This will give people plenty of time to get their characters built and thought through in term of PVP. You can't just make a character and have him PVP ready. Normally, it requires going through the game, multiple times, to get the items and levels needed to be able to be a force. So Single Player only isn't that bad , as long as they don't take too long to release PVP.

    • Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced that Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot is now generally available to all users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Planner Agent is the latest addition in the string of AI features that Microsoft is implementing across virtually all of its products. The agent lets you manage tasks through natural language prompts directly inside Microsoft 365 Copilot. You can create and update tasks, check priorities, and get insights about current entries without leaving the chat interface. The general availability release comes with a handful of new additions on top of what was available during the initial rollout. A new plan picker lets you search and filter your plans by name, then update task names, statuses, due dates, or priorities through the agent. There's also a goals bucket now, which lets you group tasks under specific goals. This builds on the Goals view, a feature that was introduced as part of the broader Planner refresh that rolled out earlier. Image: Microsoft | Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot All AI-generated plans and tasks are created in draft mode by default, so you can review and approve changes before anything goes through. This is actually a thoughtful safety feature, because trusting AI to handle all your tasks without a human in the loop is usually a recipe for disaster. Having tasks initially saved as drafts is the best possible middle ground. Microsoft also says that not all tasks are executed equally. Simple tasks get processed quickly, while more complex ones, like building a plan from a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file, are handed to a more capable model. Microsoft says this approach delivers the best performance, but it could also help with usage management, as you won't have to waste tokens on performing simple tasks. Planner Agent is available now across Teams, Loop, SharePoint, and other Microsoft 365 apps for anyone on a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.
