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.

    • Nah. For every indie dev that needs to create code for "stuff" or textures, it's a godsend enabler to possibly tackle a project that you may not otherwise. The end result and testing will tell the truth if everything works or doesn't, or a game is just mediocre slop, but now these tools are now there and it's the developer's duty to judge the outcome, and even more so for pro studios. And you gotta remember that they will be at an early stage.
    • whoosh my comment went over your head. Enjoy your notchless 3:2 OLED device
    • As a game dev, today was really depressing. They announced that Blueprints will be deprecated in UE6 to be fully replaced by their sh**ty Python-like Verse language... They also announced that 5.8 will be the last version of UE5 until UE6 comes out in MID 2029!!!! They have completely lost the plot.
