First of all, they have a script they must stick too. Second, how old is your friend? The script may be based on age, how the initial petition was sent, etc. Third, what happened to your friend? Were items taken? Was gold taken? What?

I had my wow account hacked, and within 30 minutes of e-mailing Blizzard I had all my gear, gold, and items back on all toons that were hacked as well as 3 charges to my credit card reversed.

Hey Firey. Did ya make it to level 50 :p We beat Skeleton King pretty easily in Hell mode, but the mob packs were and still are a huge pain in the ass. I bought a Legendary fist wep that boost my dps to 2500, but I'm being taken out by most special mobs with in a few seconds.

If you are up for it, I think I get all of tonight to game.

I finally got to level 50 last night. Finished off Diablo on Nightmare. Hell, here I come!

Sweet dude. Whats your class? Hell is where it gets real lol. You will need an escape skill for those "oh ****" times, which will come often and very fast.

Demon Hunter. Was wanting to join you guys on nightmare, but I wasn't good enough yet. I still die alot. LOL.

I plan on having a 60 of each character.....But Im confused about an achievement. It says to level a wizard in 2 different ways... yet you are free to change your skills all the time. How do they realize that you have leveled a certain way? Will they go by just you using a specific array of skills through a certain difficulty? Anyone understand this?

I can't believe "/huggles" and "<3" are in the script you claim they have to stick to. I don't see why it matters but from what she's told me she lost gold, items, and characters. And sat there and watched someone else play her account for about 2 days while blizzard told her, in fact outright refused, to do anything about it.'

It's the first time she's ever had an account hacked after years or playing various mmos including WoW.

Softcore and hardcore.

So.. how did she sit there any watch someone play her account? Also why wouldn't she change the pass and add the authenticator? Seems to me she let it happen lol.

@Shakey, no I didn't get to 50 yet. I stopped playing shortly after the run. If I get a chance to play tonight I will.

If anyone is interested,

I spent awhile farming the past couple of days, and got the Staff of Herding made. I only have it upgraded to Nightmare at the moment. When I get the 500k, I'll get the Hell version upgrade.

But if anyone wants the achievement, or to check out the Whimsyshire secret level, just let me know and I'll take you there, so you can slaughter cuddly animals. :p

On the Monk nerf:

Bashiok:

It's essentially being nerfed to the point of obsolescence until we can implement a new rune in its place in a future patch.

And they weren't kidding. The heal, and Boon of Protection are worthless now. Oh well, time to figure something else out. =/

sure, send me a FR on diablo.

Just had my first coop experience and I'm not sure I understand how it fully works in regards to XP and furthering the story. If one were to not participate in a fight, does that person still get XP/quest completed? I was messing around with my gear and the 2 other guys in my group completed a quest and I got the notice as well (this was a public-random game I joined).

You'll get the XP and gold for completed quests as long as you're in the game. You won't, however, get any XP or gold you get from killing monsters (unless you're near anyone that kills monsters).

Done with nightmare with my level 51 monk.. here's my post nerf build:

You'll need better gear for Hell. Trust me.

Jeez, I'm like, just barely into Act 2 on Normal. I feel left out of all the fun :(

I wouldn't worry about it. You're better off taking your time and enjoying the game, instead of rushing through it. If you rush through it, you won't get to savor the story/experience, and you will just end up sitting at Inferno Act 2 for however long it takes for Blizzard to fix it. I'm trying to pace myself so that by the time I do get to Inferno it will, hopefully, be fixed.

I'm pretty sure the achievements you're talking about just mean to level two of each class. I don't think it matters what skills you use. And it doesn't matter if it's hardcore (dumb) or regular.

This article claims that Diablo 3 is related to his death, but it was really lethargy that did it. I'm sure his health was terrible long before he got his hands on the game.

According to someone who posted on the official forums that claimed to know him in real life, this guy had apnea. The coroner who reported to the scene said he died from that and not a heart attack. It's sad that he will be remembered more for the coincidence than anything else.

I too am taking it slow in the game, enjoying the storyline and hitting every side-dungeon and exploring every portion of the levels. Hopefully some of the issues with melee characters on higher difficulty levels gets fixed by the time I get to them. I'm in no rush.

I make sure i fully explore each area and kill each monster prior to continuing to the next area. (which is one of the reasons it is taking me so long)

    • 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.
