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)

      I agree. I also think Phil stayed too long. They should definitely fire whoever thought all a console platform needed was Call of Duty, Elder Scrolls, and Fallout to survive. Asha and crew are still saying they need more Elder Scrolls and Fallout games. They simply don't get it.

    • Mozilla highlights Firefox Nova 2026 redesign and more upcoming features with new roadmap

      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
