So...in an effort to steer this thread off of the offline vs. online circular conversation...for those of you who are going to get the game, what is the first character you will be playing with?

For me, after being in the beta for a few months, my opinions on the classes haven't changed much. I am wholeheartedly going to start with a Barbarian. I loves me some Leap, Ancient Spear, and exploding Cleave.

Probably going to start off with a Demon Hunter. I didn't put too much thought into my decision, but I was watching videos of each class, and the Demon Hunter looks pretty fun.

Pre-launch download is all done. My excitement for this game just came out of nowhere, but now I'm pumped for this coming Tuesday :).

Can't wait for this, but hope the servers are a little better than the open stress test they held the other week, the only people stressed were those trying to play the game but couldn't as they couldn't connect due to the sheer amount of people trying to play :(

Over the whole weekend I could only connect twice, and that's with trying 3 days solid :(

FYI My Battle Tag is BeLGaRaTh#2224

something people keep forgetting about the stress test is that over the course of the weekend they regulated how many people could connect to "cause" server stress. read the official forums.

Also folks that were actually in the beta or at least me. never had an issue connecting during the stress test.

Thanks for that littleneutrino, sadly the beta forum access was heavily limited during the test, and all we got was an official post saying that the error codes meant too many people were trying to connect :(

Ah, i was not sure how much access not Beta folks actually got.

They have mentioned during the test that for the Open weekend they were only allowing a certain amount of folks on to cause stress to the servers and then once the stress hit a certain limit they would add more servers, It was a tech test for them so that they would know how many servers to have ready for launch (as they are virtual servers they can easily just throw a new server up in a few hours time)

    • Threads scales past half a billion users, brings deeper community and feed controls

      By Fiza Ali · Posted

      Threads scales past half a billion users, brings deeper community and feed controls by Fiza Ali Meta has announced Threads crossing a major milestone of 500 million monthly active users. And, at the heart of this growth sits something simple: communities. From books to basketball, parenting to music, Threads says its rise has been powered by people clustering around shared interests and, in turn, giving the platform its identity. In response, the platform is expanding its Communities feature beyond beta and introducing a set of new tools designed to make participation easier and more engaging. A redesigned Communities Hub will now appear in the main navigation menu, allowing users to jump between groups without leaving their feed. Each community will also receive a distinct Community Icon, giving them clearer visual identity and making them easier to recognise across the platform. Then there’s Community Progress, which is a kind of live gauge showing how close a topic is to becoming a full-fledged community, alongside guidance on how users can contribute to its development. In addition, Meta is also expanding its Community Champions programme, recognising more users who actively contribute to community engagement. And then things go more local; Local Communities is already available in 100 countries, including North America, South America, Asia, and Europe but are now rolling out with native-language tags starting in Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. The platform is also expanding Live Chats to more communities in the coming weeks, adding features such as co-hosting and the ability to quote moments directly into users’ feeds. Beyond communities, Meta is tightening the loop between users and their feeds. Earlier this year came "Dear Algo," a feature that lets people tell Threads what they want more or less of. Now it’s being paired with a new tool, "Your Algo." It allows people to adjust how frequently certain topics appear, with options lasting one, three, or seven days. Meta says these preferences remain private and can be managed alongside “Dear Algo” in a unified settings hub. The rollout begins in the US, Canada, UK, Australia, and New Zealand. Finally, the company says these changes are part of an ongoing effort to refine Threads based on user feedback and that further updates will continue as the platform evolves.
