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.

    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      By The Werewolf · Posted

      The flaw with this analysis is that this laptop has a cellphone CPU in it. In the Intel world, that would be an N150 and those are everywhere, even in low end laptops. You can get an N150 based NUC with 16GB RAM and 256GB-512GB SSD... NOT soldered in... for < $500 Canadian (around US$360). The problem is two fold: tech bloggers/writers on most tech site (like this one, ironically) overvalue Apple and apparently aren't in the same earnings class as most regular people. As a result, we get breathless articles about how everyone needs a folding phone when most people just cannot afford one... or really need one. And we get Apple used as the baseline metric regardless of whether that comparison makes any sense. If Dell or HP released a retail laptop with a cellphone motherboard, you'd be all over them for doing that - but Apple does it and it's genius. I see articles suggesting what Samsung - a company that basically started the foldable phone market and has built them for eight years - needs to do to compete with Apple's unreleased, unspecced and unseen folding phone. Sorry, no - if the Neo (really creative name there BTW - still, better than the Go, the other "creative" product name everyone's using) encourages PC makers to make cellphone laptops using lower end ARM processors, we all lose. It's a step backwards and a capitulation to the fact that semiconductor makers and computer OEMs (and tech bloggers) have totally lost the plot.

      Steam Next Fest returns with thousands of new demos to try out by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Valve has been routinely kicking off demo festivals on Steam for years now, and the second drop of 2026 has just opened its doors. It's a great opportunity for any PC gamers to find some interesting games before they release. The June edition of Steam Next Fest is a week-long digital festival including gameplay slices from a large number of indie developers, though a few major publishers are involved this time too. Interested players can use the Next Fest hub page's various sorting and filtering options to easily sort through the hordes of demos available. The top buttons offer quick access to separate and important sorting options, including "By Genre, By Theme, By Feature," with each one offering more granular settings when clicked. At the same time, the built-in Steam tags system is also available below every page to discover new games more quickly. As always, logging in will also enable Steam gamers to utilize Valve's recommendation algorithms to find game demos they might like, specifically, depending on their past play and purchase histories. This time there is even a toggle now to swap between getting a random and personalized selection as Valve collects more data on the available demos. The Charts section is where you can find the most popular demos on the platform right now, offering up the most hyped titles in a simple list. Right at the kickoff, Mistfall Hunter, Empulse, Echoes of Aincrad, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, Over the Hill, Mortal Shell II, and more are trending. Expect this list to change as the week progresses. This edition of the Steam Next Fest is slated to end on June 22 at 10 AM PT. Valve's latest event is now open, and it can be accessed by going to the dedicated hub page here.

      I lived and breathed MSN Messenger/Windows Live Messenger. Going to the mess.be website (still online with no changes since 2013) to download display pictures etc. I was a beta tester for Messenger Plus! and spent quite a lot of time on the MsgPlus! forums (a read-only copy is still online at https://shoutbox.menthix.net) Some old Neowin articles also https://www.neowin.net/news/messenger-plus-350/ good times but how time flies The main developer of Messenger Plus!, Cyril aka.
