Just a quick little note guys...I can log into the beta now :D

Thankfully I found my DVD backup I made awhile ago with the installer on it (which at that time was an actual error Blizz made letting me see it etc) and it still works, so yay. Downloaded enough to hit play, play and now making a character OMG

Enjoy LOC. It is a lot of fun. :)

Yeah, having a blast already on my ranged dudette. I don't know what the fuss was about with the graphics though...looks fine to me? Colors are a bit desaturated but, the land is invaded by hell demons right? heh, I'm gonna try an online match soon, I just get a join public game thing, I take it there is no server browser or game listing, just matchmaking? (I'd know this answer already but I got DC'ed to get a patch apparently, or Blizz discovered their folly and nuked the access to the game :D)

I predownloaded it but I still get this message when trying to install it...I guess its because this is the full version rather than the Beta

Yes that's because it's the official client. I've tried to look at how to bypass that, but the furthest I can get is the TOS, but I can't install due to some "Un-set Installation Options"

Welp, I can't login now. Get error #3005 which from a quick googling is quite the popular error for the game - especially for those who just got beta access or aren't in the beta :(

Hopefully the login servers are just down because of the patch, or I'll go insane and summon hell beasts.

I wouldn't worry just yet. I just tried logging in, and on the login screen there is a system message that the beta is down and they're working to figure out why. That was at 5:30ish PST, and I still wasn't able to login at 10:30 EST. So who knows, maybe you can still get in.

Says it's down... fixing an issue.. hopefully the issue wasn't the allowance of anyone to play lol

Yeah just saw that they will update at 11 AM PST. Meh. I bet I won't be able to play when they get things back up and running lol

They took the servers down to address an issue with folks that are not even part of the beta being able to sign in and play

I just hope the game won't have a "weekly maintenance" like WoW has. If they have to, do it on a different day other then Tuesday. :|

It is not a matter of the game servers going down on Tuesdays as they take down ALL of the Battle.net Services.

So Yes on Tuesdays they will be taking down Diablo as well. (and Starcraft, and Wow, and Titan.)

Apparently they mistakenly let out a "Starter Edition" client, which is nothing more than a demo version of the beta pretty much as it is. But someone at Blizz let people access it (like me) and now I wonder what they are going to do...let the people who got it play the game...or tell them sorry gotta wait until the 15th of May to play.

They will say "Tough, wait till the 15th. Was released before schedule. You aren't in the beta, you have no rights to be playing the game." I can't see them making an exception.

It will probably be like the Starcraft 2, and WoW trials. You are limited by level, not by time.

Enjoy your Diablo 3 open beta weekend. :)

    • Macbook Air is an appealing option, as are plethora of Windows devices with various different CPU's
    • Mozilla highlights Firefox Nova 2026 redesign and more upcoming features with new roadmap by Sayan Sen Last month Mozilla confirmed that Firefox was set to get a major redesign this year. Dubbed "Project Nova", it can already be tested and will roll out to all users later this year.The idea is to keep the browser competitive in a rapidly evolving internet landscape. As such the revamp focuses on improving privacy, usability, performance, accessibility, and customization. Key privacy features including the built-in VPN, private browsing mode, and Enhanced Tracking Protection, will be more visible and easier to manage, while users will have the option to disable AI features entirely through a dedicated kill switch. Additionally, the redesign promises faster page loading, the return of Compact mode, expanded personalization options, and stronger accessibility support. You can find the full details in the dedicated piece linked above. In a new blog post today the company once again reiterated on Nova and also emphasized other new and upcoming features like the settings revamp that is intended to make it easier for users to understand browser settings. In order to make it simpler for users to keep up with such features Mozilla today is launching Firefox roadmap. Hence enthusiasts and interested users will be able to check out what's cooking and also share feedback about the upcoming additions. Alongside the roadmap announcement, Mozilla also highlighted what's new in Firefox 152. One of the biggest additions is the arrival of Tab Groups on Android. The feature, which has already been helping desktop users organize large numbers of tabs, is now beginning to roll out on mobile. Users will be able to group related tabs together, assign names and colors to them, and return to them later. Mozilla says support for iOS will arrive later this year. Firefox 152 also introduces the aforementioned redesigned Settings experience. The company says the changes are meant to make controls easier to find and help users discover features they may not have previously known about. Existing preferences are not changing, though they are now better organized. Another notable addition is the new Blocked Tracker Widget, which provides a visual overview of Firefox's privacy protections by showing how many trackers have been blocked over time and the types of tracking activity the browser has stopped. Looking ahead, Mozilla revealed several upcoming roadmap features. They include customizable keyboard shortcuts, as well as enhanced PDF editing tools that will allow documents to be split, merged, and reorganized directly within Firefox. The company is also working on bringing Multi-Account Containers into the native Firefox experience thus removing the need for a separate extension. Meanwhile Firefox's built-in VPN is set to expand to mobile devices. Mozilla is also developing AI-powered features like Quick Answers, which can provide concise responses to voice queries, and Smart Window, its optional AI browsing experience that is now available without a waitlist. Finally, a new Power Saving Mode is in the works and will help reduce the impact of resource-heavy tabs on mobile devices in order to extend battery life. The video below summarizes the upcoming changes in an easy to understand format: You can find the announcement blog post here on Mozilla's official website.
    • Dead on arrival at that price. Like they missed the mark by multiple hundreds of dollars - this should actually undercut the Macbook Air at $899 if they want any sort of sales / further adoption of WoA
    • Wow, 50% increase for the base model. That's steep!
    • A group made up of dozens of cybersecurity experts, including several well-known veterans of the industry, published an open letter to the U.S. government asking it to lift the export control order on Anthropic’s Fable and Mythos models. According to the open letter, “this action has taken the best models away from [cybersecurity] defenders” who now can’t use the models to find vulnerabilities and make their software and products more secure. “To pull the best capabilities away from defenders without a good reason when our adversaries are rapidly advancing is dangerous,” read the letter. On Friday, the U.S. government ordered Anthropic to limit the export of Fable and Mythos, citing national security concerns, without explaining the specific reasons behind the order, according to Anthropic. In response, the company suspended access to the models to all users worldwide.     https://techcrunch.com/2026/06/15/cybersecurity-vets-protest-dangerous-us-government-ban-on-anthropics-most-powerful-models/
