Because im posting from work. At my CHU I have no internet. That is why. Plus if i want to bring my laptop to work I cannot connect it to the network. So there is a big difference. And yes I am ALLOWed to be on Neowin posting while at work.

And there are no Wireless internetz for you to connect into or crack with backtrack?

Afghanistan does not have the best infrastructure in the world. Running fiber would be fun in all the land mines. Plus the mountains. woo. The roshan network at best runs slow for person internet. Again it can barely run a youtube video.

Again I do not like games where I need to connect to a network for anything.

I just can't get enough of this game. I have a level 34 monk that does 534.12 damage per second. I'm currently playing through the first act in nightmare and it's not as hard as I expected. My armour is at 1563 but I can get it higher with my mantra of evasion. It increases my armour by 20% with the hard target rune. Anyone else playing a monk or barbarian? If so, what's your level and DPS?

D3 filter mods get you banned

to get banned use this

http://darkd3.com/

So it was alright to use in the beta, but in the full release you'll get banned for it? Where is it said that someone will be banned for using the filter mod? Has a Blizzard GM/employee come out specifically and said it's a bannable offense?

I went through quite a few posts there, and other than (what apparently are random people, and Jay....) some negative responses about how the mod makes the game look horrible now I didn't see any official Blizzard response there? Did I miss it somewhere in the 26 pages? lol

Solo check your pm sent you one.

Also just picked it up the other day level 14 in one sitting on my Demon Hunter and leveling all of my characters to level 20.

So far loving the game but it seems to be missing the feeling of D2 but overall still a great game.

There goes the auction house system. Looting system is now exploitable.

http://www.twitch.tv/thegdstudio is now farming inferno mode.

The AH system was in trouble (and hadn't launched yet) due to some of the other Launch Day issues; of COURSE the unscrupulous are going to take advantage of that.

However, better that it happen now (before the AH system has even gone live) than it happen later (as happened with Bitcoin).

Does anyone have a D3 Guest Pass they could send me (via PM, of course)?

Check your PM. Cheers!

Check your PM. Cheers!

Thanx much - collected and being used.

Fought my way through to the SK himself (further than I got during the open beta/stress test weekend) - and he's proving to be several different kinds of nasty.

I'm fighting as a Barb (not a Wizard, which I used during the open beta/stress test). While the big two-handed lumber axe (and two-handed "****** sword") turn most mobs into mincemeat (especially with the Cleave rune inscribed), you still have to fight the SK like a boxer (stick and move), and even then you need a crapton of potions. Still having fun, though.

Break out da sporks - da Mad King is done. Even on Normal, you gotta collect a crapton of potions from mobs to last long enough to re-kill da King. Wack-wack-wack, back off, kill some Returned, grab a potion or two, repeat ad nauseam until da King is down to a third power (preferably less), then wack-wack-wack (more like chop-chop-chop like a lumberjack) until da King goes TIMBER!

345.10 DPS

1666 armor

34 Barbarian

I noticed some of ya'll were discussing hawkman items he showed us, the reason in the difference is the one item has +damage and the other doesn't. At the lower levels +dmg is better than just about anything else (and may apply all the way to 60). I had a 36.1dps 1h axe, added in a Ruby (red gems) that was +8-16 damage and it jumped to a 50dps weapon. Increased my total dps by nearly 85. +damage is an awesome stat and I would always use a weapon with socket(s) with Rubys in them to increase your output.

    • Microsoft finally admits its default Windows 11 25H2, 24H2 action broke key legacy component by Sayan Sen Microsoft last week released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. So far the company has acknowledged two known issues that have popped up after the release which include bugged-out Office apps as well as the Recycle Bin; though there could be more at play too. Speaking of bugs and issues, Microsoft seems to have finally acknowledged a problem that probably has been around for close to a year. That's because back in July of 2025 the company made a default change to the latest Windows 11 versions, wherein it switched to JScript9Legacy on Windows 11 24H2 and later releases. Hence following the release of version 25H2 in October 2025, JScript9Legacy also remained default-enabled. As a result there has been a compatibility issue ever since then. For those wondering, by switching to JScript9Legacy Microsoft intended to improve the security of modern Windows PCs by reducing vulnerabilities tied to legacy scripting like cross-site scripting (XSS), among others. XSS exploits can allow cyber-attackers to attach malicious code onto legitimate websites and use them to execute the code when a potential victim loads such a website. Hence the new JScript9Legacy engine enforced stricter execution policies and improved object handling, which should help mitigate such attacks. Microsoft today has published a new support article detailing the problem. Neowin spotted it while browsing. The company says that JScript global definitions and execution context may fail to persist across scripts, potentially breaking older dependent apps and web-based components that relied on this legacy behavior. In the article Microsoft has confirmed that the issue stems from its move away from the older jscript9.dll engine in favor of jscript9legacy.dll. As mentioned above, while the newer engine was designed to address vulnerabilities and strengthen security it also changes how JScript handles execution context. As a result functions and definitions loaded by one script could no longer remain available to subsequent scripts once execution ended. The company notes that some applications worked correctly on earlier Windows versions because the older JScript engine automatically retained global definitions and execution state between scripts. Under the newer model though that behavior is disabled by default causing certain legacy workloads and polyfill-dependent scripts to fail. Microsoft says it addressed the problem via the KB5077241 update though the fix had not been enabled automatically in the following updates. As such admins must explicitly turn on persistent JScript execution context using a Registry setting that the tech giant shared today. The configuration can be applied to individual processes or system-wide through the FEATURE_ENABLE_PERSISTENCE registry key. The steps have been outlined below: Run the following command to create the feature control registry key: reg add "HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_ENABLE_PERSISTENCE" Under this key, create a new DWORD (32-bit) value. Configure the value as follows: To enable persistence for specific processes only: Set the value to 1 for each target process name. To enable persistence for all processes: Add * as the key name and set its value to 1. You can find the official support article here on Microsoft's website.
