hmm annoyingly, if I'm reading the game right they are using the wrong value for the DPS in he comparative tooltips.

If you notice on the below screenshots, the 2 handed staff says it has 12.5 more damage. (and yes, I removed the books to see if that's what causes the error, without it it's 15.1 more)

However if you look at the damage value in the attributes block, my one handed staff and book, gives me 70.49 dps, while the staff gives 69.11 dps. so the two handed staff in fact slightly lowers my dps. so the tooltip comparison does not count increased damage from attributes I guess, which kind of makes the comparative tooltip absolutely useless.

At least I'm in europe so I don't have to suffer the constant server outtages. unlessI wanna play my barb which the buggy game placed on the US servers after I logged into the euro server.

Still, if they had offered online SP and the thousand of players who just wanted to play SP could have used that, they wouldn't have had these problems in the first place since the servers wouldn't have been hammered.

@Hawkman - You wand has a higher +dmg modifier. And that just shows ya how good +dmg is. I recommend it on your rings, amulet and weapon as well as stacking rubies (i believe) in your weapons. At lower levels at least +dmg awesome. No idea how it'll turn out in hell/inferno.

I wish dying has more consequences to it.... I'm not sure I like all the streamlining and actually miss some of the things from Diablo 2 that I didn't think I'd miss at all... Things like

* Not having points to spend in character attributes (int, con, str, wis, dex)

* Not having much selection (at least at the early levels) for skills

* Are there no socketed items? I guess I miss the rune-words and collecting those in the hope that you will eventually have something really good.

* Running to my corpse after dying to get all my items before a monster wrecks my naked body

Idk why but...i miss those things.

Sockets are still in the game as well as Gems

Rune words were replaced with skill runes

dont care too much for losing out on attribute points as i am not fond of games that require you to spend them yourself.

I also miss running to your body to collect your stuff, i was surprised that they removed it from the game.

Good play through yesterday Firey. Double Monk apparently is a good strat. Server went down at a good time, because a friend arrived just then.

Yea it worked out well, cuz I had food in the oven that was just finishing up as the servers went down. Also yea the double monks was sick, we could heal each other and do crazy dps and damage mitigation.

Have to play again for sure.

    • 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.
