YAH!!! Downloading now, I am pretty much done, but by lunch when I can play it will be good to go. That's awesome D3 this weekend, GW2 next!

Oh wow, just found a hint on the blizz forums.

I was downloading at 300kb/s. Which is hella slow. So I googled and found a trick. Un-tick the automatically detect settings under lan in the internet settings in internet explorer. I am current getting anywhere from 3.5mb/s to 4.5mb/s on my 32mbit connection.

SchWING! Downloading as I type this - curiousity factor, admittedly (I'm more a StarCraft/StarCraft II person - I found the original Diablo and D2 meh, to be honest). If they have improved it, I may have to find a place in my game rotation for it.

No kidding.

Still, you have to wait until 3:01PM Eastern Daylight Time/8:01 PM GMT/Zulu (2:01PM EST/CDT, and 12:01PM PDT/11:01 AM PST) to play - though you CAN download the game now.

I find it funny how I uninstalled the game from the Starter Edition mishap from the other day just last night, and now BLAMO open beta :D

It's ok though, I was getting near 8 Mb/s when I redownloaded it earlier. Took like, no time at all really :p

That happened to me too, downloading the beta twice. But with really slow speeds (~19 kb/s), it ****es me off.

Is that your internet speed? If not try this:

1. Un-check use P2P Downloading

2. In the Internet Options (internet explorer -> settings)

-> Go to the Connections tab

-> Click on LAN Settings

-> UnCheck automatically detect settings

I did the above I went from 180kb/s to 3.5->4.5mb/s

Sadly there are already a crap ton of bots playing the game so I see myself only playing through single player or with close friends when I play. Last night I was playing and EVERY person in my group was a bot :(

The bots are just for farming stuff? Or?

I am assuming that folks that are in the beta sold/traded their account to someone so that they could test the bots out prior to the game coming out. These bots were all able to do things that I could not (very fast attacks) as well as all having High level armor/weapons that were magical. they were also all max level. (13)

    • 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.
