I just d/l the beta and ran it for the first time, I always had(and always will be) a Diablo fan - this one just felt more of the same but with a lot better graphics. Don't get me wrong I will stay play it non-stop until my eyes/fingers bleed but just was expecting more I guess.

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)

Yea probably. Magical gear? Probably just farming for it? Or building up money to be able to get better gear. Don't forget the level is as easy as having the bot repeat levels or farm zones for a few hours while you sit back and watch TV.

The RMAH is more than enough incentive for people/companies to develop bots for this game. It was a problem in D2, but hopefully now that the RMAH is an official part of the game, Blizzard will be able to control the situation. Though, I highly doubt it. Bots will always be around in some form or another.

It won't really affect me though. I will only play the game solo or with my brother. And the RMAH is a non-option for me. I consider it a lame cop-out for those who would rather just spend money instead of play the game. So I will never be using it.

The only thing that will affect me is if these bots use the regular AH and inflate the prices. That is going to be lame. Though, I wasn't planning on using the AH much anyways, as item hunting is the main drive for me to play the game.

Apparently, I'm doing something wrong.

I downloaded the setup file and ran it. It popped up a message saying "Updating setup files."

Then it stops. No install, nothing. WTF?

*** UPDATE ****

Grr... got it. I deleted the Battle.net folder under Program Data.

Then, I right-clicked the beta setup file and went to the Compatibility tab.

I checked Windows XP mode, and Run as Administrator.

Then I ran the setup again. Now it's working.

Stopped doing that and now it just times out and it's impossible to connect. Well the Americas just hangs there forever before it disconnects you from battle.net, and europe gives error that connections is interrupted.

Blizzard is still really good at load balancing and giving enough server load for launches I see...

    • 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.
