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.

    • Hello, I have used a few TEAM Group SSDs, USB flash drives, and Micro SDXC cards in the past. They all seemed to work fine. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
    • "just $100 per TB"? Just? Are we trying to make this seem like the new normal? Kinda weird to make it sound like that is not a ridiculously expensive asking price.
    • The reviews you refer to mean nothing. Where there is no journalism there is no reason to call the gaming media's opinion pieces "reviews". For GP games there is indeed a metric for success - increasing subscriptions. Which turns in revenue. The only circumstance in which subs do not rise when great is being released is a Game Pass system where the company is close to fully saturated with customers in a subscription. However, in that case as the theory goes you spend aplenty in all kind of games - from shady live service cash cows and customer offending agitprop crap in purple colours to robust and entertaining single player games. And keep a solid level of profitability. Ignoring the simply innocuous but mid games MGS has released primarily of the second kind.
    • Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand by Pradeep Viswanathan Thanks to the surge of coding AI agents, GitHub's usage has skyrocketed over the past 12 months. To meet this demand, GitHub started with a plan in October 2025 to increase capacity by 10x. However, by early this year, the company realized that it needed 30x scale. This rapid growth has caused severe strain on the platform's reliability, resulting in several small outages over the past few months. In April, GitHub published a long blog post explaining the steps it is taking to resolve these reliability issues. In the post, the company also confirmed that it is working toward a multi-cloud architecture for better resilience. Today, Business Insider reported that GitHub is turning to Amazon Web Services to help deal with a major surge in AI-driven coding activity. It is important to note that GitHub is still in the process of moving completely to the Azure cloud. The current plan is to move the platform fully to Azure by 2027 so that it can scale better as per developer demand. Therefore, the current decision to utilize AWS might be part of a short-term plan to meet immediate demand. A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed that GitHub is using multiple cloud providers with the following statement: For Microsoft, the decision highlights the operational pressure behind the AI boom. GitHub has to stay reliable for developers at a time when rivals such as Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, and other AI coding tools are gaining attention. And the decision to use AWS for computing capacity seems practical given the circumstances.
    • It's growing on me, however, your right, it make better usability sense if the tabs were bellow the address bar.
