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)

    • KillerPDF 1.5.1 by Razvan Serea KillerPDF is a lightweight, portable PDF editor for Windows built for users who want full control without subscriptions, installers, or telemetry. It runs as a single executable, making it ideal for USB use and field work. You can view PDFs with smooth PDFium rendering, navigate quickly with thumbnails, zoom, and shortcuts, and reorganize pages using drag-and-drop. It supports merging multiple PDFs, splitting documents, and extracting selected pages. KillerPDF also allows inline text editing with font matching to preserve the original layout, plus annotations like text boxes, freehand drawing, highlights, and reusable signatures. You can search full text, copy content easily, and print documents with flattened annotations. Designed as a free and open alternative to bloated PDF tools, it works fully offline on Windows 10/11 x64. No runtimes install. Everything needed is inside the EXE (targets .NET Framework 4.8, which ships with every supported Windows release). KillerPDF key features: High-quality PDF rendering via PDFium Edit PDF text inline (double-click to modify text) Page thumbnails and fast navigation with zoom and shortcuts Merge multiple PDFs into one Split PDFs and extract selected pages Drag-and-drop page reordering Font matching to preserve original document appearance Text boxes for notes Freehand drawing tools Highlight overlays with adjustable color, size, opacity Undo actions and clear per-page annotations Create, draw, and save reusable signatures Click-to-place signatures anywhere Full-text search with highlighted results Drag-select or Ctrl+A to copy text Print with annotations flattened Portable single-file app (~10 MB) No installer, no admin rights required No account, no telemetry KillerPDF 1.5.1 changelog: Performance Save Flattened PDF now uses multiple CPU cores. Page rasterization is parallelized (PNG encoding runs across cores; the PDFium render step stays serialized since the library isn't thread-safe), so large documents flatten significantly faster while the UI stays responsive (#68). Fixed PDFs that failed to open with "Unexpected EOF" now open (#72). The failure was PdfSharpCore's Flate inflater (SharpZipLib) rejecting the FlateDecode cross-reference stream on multi-revision PDFs - files that open fine in browsers, Acrobat, and Foxit. KillerPDF now detects this and re-opens the file losslessly through PDFium, preserving selectable text. Thanks to @javajon for the report and a detailed reproduction. Grid view renders every page. It was capped at the first 26 pages, so longer documents stopped loading partway through. Tiles also stream in progressively now instead of blocking until the whole document is rendered. Grid Ctrl+Scroll no longer reloads every page when the zoom is already at its limit and nothing would change. Removed a stray horizontal scrollbar (a thin green line) that could appear across the bottom of grid view. Files on UNC / network shares (including the WSL \\wsl$ filesystem) are copied locally before opening, avoiding partial-read failures on network filesystems. Changed Minimum zoom lowered from 10% to 5%, so grid view can pack more columns (helpful for wide/landscape pages) and single-page view can zoom out further.
