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)?

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.

    • Windows 11 KB5094126, KB5093998 bugging out Office apps but it may not be Microsoft's fault 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. Although the tech giant did not acknowledge any major problems, some users online reported various issues ranging from OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. You can read about them in this dedicated piece. While there is still no confirmation about those problems from Microsoft the company has admitted to another bug which we did not report on. The tech giant has confirmed it has received reports of an issue in which certain third-party applications may be unable to launch Microsoft Office apps or open Office documents after installing the Patch Tuesday. This affects both Windows 11 as well as Windows 10. The company says the problem impacts a subset of applications that rely on OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) automation to communicate with Microsoft Office programs. According to Microsoft, affected scenarios involve third-party software attempting to open Office applications or documents from within their own interface. In such cases, the Office program may fail to launch altogether, or the requested document may not open. Oddly there may not be any error message, which probably makes the issue difficult to diagnose. The bug affects several Office products, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, and other apps in the Microsoft Office suite when they are launched through the affected software. These include tax and accounting software such as CCH Engagement and Workpaper Manager, dental practice management solutions like Dentrix and Softdent, as well as the popular research and reference management tool Zotero. Microsoft adds that other applications using similar Office integration methods could also experience the same problematic behavior. To understand the issue it is important to look at OLE, the Microsoft technology involved. OLE allows different applications to work together and share data, while its Automation feature lets one program control another. Thus this enables third-party software to launch Microsoft Office apps, open documents, and perform tasks automatically without requiring users to switch between programs. Because many accounting, healthcare, research, and business applications rely on OLE automation to interact with Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and other Office apps, any disruption can break those workflows. As a result, affected software may be unable to open Office documents or launch Office applications even though the programs themselves continue to work normally. At the moment the company has not provided a permanent fix though it has confirmed that engineers are actively working on a resolution, which will be delivered through a future Windows update. As such additional details will be shared once more information becomes available. In the meantime, Microsoft recommends a simple workaround for affected users whic is to open the Office application or document directly rather than launching it through the third-party program. For enterprise customers and organizations managing larger deployments, Microsoft says an additional mitigation is available. Admins experiencing the problem on their managed devices are advised to contact Microsoft Support for business to obtain and apply the workaround.
