Hopped on at lunch for a second. Finally was able to collect my sellings, and post new auctions. It has been broke for me since Sunday.

When I tried to search, the same thing happened. Nothing would show up.

The AH needs a ton more visual/status feedback while searching. Hard to tell if it's doing anything sometimes.

I know also can you even get pages of training on that thing you could in beta and now i cannot find them.

Wooooo! Beat Diablo. I gotta say, great game overall. I got very into the story which is rare for me. The Act 2->3 and Act 3->4 (especially this one) cinematics where AMAZING.

Just loaded into Nightmare on my 31 DH just to see what was going to be different. After dying at the first major battle in the Cathedral..I decided I will take a break :)

Also, did I miss anything in a cutscene or something, but was Adria ever addressed? Or is she going to bring back Diablo again for the expansion next year? lol

I didn't see anything with her, after she summoned diablo I think she bounced.

After watching the movie last night, got on and completed Act 1 in Hell Mode. Butcher was really easy.

Act 2 so far isn't that hard. I still eat the little bugs like skittles :/

Ran into what I think is the dumbest, most over powered mob ever...invulnerable Minions/Molten/Vampiric.... Was funny though. Box and I ran up to the yellow, and we both start attacking it and it's minions. I'm not gaining any spirit, because I'm taking on the minions... I then notice in their name it says "invulnerable" above the Yellow Rare monster. I was like... "what.. invulnerable?" , and told Box to just run away while we thought of a strat to beat something that said "invulnerable". I then notice that it is only his minions that wouldn't take any damage, and you have to just kill the main guy, and they all die. Took us a couple of tries to down him, but it took us by surprise. Never saw that type of immunity.

I played a bit last night, got to the Leoric Manor part in ActI hell mode ended up more or less restarting ACT I as I felt behind. I've seen the invulnerable on Nightmare, it took me a bit to realize that only the minions were actually untouchable. I decided to swap my Light Bell thing for MoH and currently sitting at 22K HP it takes a fair bit (minus fire, lasers, etc) to kill me now.

Sweet. Ya, I've upped my gear. Now doing around 4.4k DPS, but lowered my health from about 30k to 26k. I'm trying to see how damagy I can be, and then adjust the build if I start dieing too much. But so far, at least running with Box, my monk is doing just fine. Box actually dies a lot more and I just stand there taking the hits until he gets back :p

I got a few new pieces. My Damage is still low, but I do enough to kill the mobs. But I am sitting at ~750 vit, and ~780 dex so I am pretty balanced. I was focusing on Damage however I figure if I can balance them out, I can do enough damage to kill mobs fast enough without worry of extra agro while staying alive long enough to kill them if I do accidentally pull more.

Ya, that is a good strat. I was using that for the most of my play through, but now I'm trying to see how much of a berserker I can make my monk :p If you are up for playing tonight, I will be on.

I don't see why people xp farm on this game. It took maybe 3 solid days to reach lvl 50. Sure, it goes a lot slower the last 10, but not slow enough to resort to xp farming. I still have 3 acts to get through Hell with my level 56 Monk, and then there is Inferno. I'm playing for a challenge, and xp farming just seems to bypass that challenge up more so than what the AH provides for us. It's not my cup of tea :p

So I figured out why my banner kept giving errors when I entered it and click save to exit. Blizzards awesome game, apparently decided to "lose" a whole bunch of my achievements, including all the campaing achievements from Lord of sin and up at the very least, possibly before, but the shape I "used" was the one from Lord of Sin achievement.

funny how I'm missing half the bosses achievements from normal difficulty when I finished the game with my wizard....

I tried to log in today, but I get "Error 12: No Diablo 3 license is on this account". I logged into Battle.Net, and it says I now have to buy a new copy of Diablo 3. WTF?

Is Torchlight 2 out yet? :rofl:

Try again later, open a support ticket, and/or check the email address your account is registered to? (To see if there is any info there.)

And no, Torchlight 2 isn't out yet, but I'm kind of looking forward to Lego Diablo too as a bit of a casual break from real Diablo. ;) (Okay I admit, that was kind of mean spirited. <3)

I'm havent even reached lvl 60 (I'm 55) and am already feeling burned out.

I just dont have the desire to play I had the first 4 days. It's starting to feel too repetitive.

Sort of feeling the same way, got to act 1 hell, level 51 right now and just not feeling the drive.....only reason I'm playing it is cause I want to at least hit 60.....starting to get bored on my barb now too, who's only lvl 38 because it's the same thing only easier (barb is much easier than monk....my 51 monk is doing fine with 25k life, 2.5k armor, 30 all resist and 2.3k DPS in a1 hell, my barb is in a1 NM with 6k life, 3.2k armor, 0 resist and 900 DPS.....already more armor/damage reduction and more life/dps than my monk at that level) so it's getting boring more quickly...I know barb and monk are very difficult to play through inferno, but at this point I probably won't make it to inferno any time soon. Barb is so much easier though that it feels almost pointless.

Started a demon hunter, which is definitely different and more interesting to play (not just jump in middle of mobs, ground slam, revenge if it's up, cleave otherwise until dead), but the same content over and over is starting to get to me.

TBH I'm starting to feel like abandoning my barb because he's just not fun to play at this level. Random monsters are frustrating as a barbarian. He felt so invincible at 30-40, and now? Gahhhh. Witch Doctor on the other hand is awesome. Burnt out barbs, I'd try a witch doctor!

Agreed. My WD was 48 before my account was wiped. Loved every minute of it!

Thanks!

And the party continues!!! )))

Much more brave than I.....while deaths through Normal and Nightmare can easily be avoided if geared (later nightmare becomes a bit more difficult), I do not think I would venture into hell (or inferno from what I've heard) without have the best gear you could get. I've died more in A1 hell than I did throughout normal and nightmare combined.

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2, urges IT admins to prepare for release

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2, urges IT admins to prepare for release by Usama Jawad Windows 11 typically follows an annual update cycle, but Microsoft recently broke that tradition a bit by releasing a "26H1" version in the first half of this year as a "scoped" build for select new silicon PCs only. This version was not available for customers using 24H2 and 25H2 builds, as Microsoft is busy preparing version 26H2 for them, confirmed officially for the first time. In a Windows IT Pro blog, Microsoft has urged IT admins to prepare for the upcoming release of Windows 11 version 26H2. The company has confirmed that this will be a small enablement package (eKB) that will simply light up certain disabled features that are already present in the operating system's code base. This means that the "refined" Windows update and deployment experience will be simpler and quicker, with minimal disruptions, as the feature update will simply toggle a few flags rather than performing a complete replacement. Microsoft has explained that this is all possible because the standard Windows 11 releases share the same servicing branch and hence, the same source code. However, this also means that Windows 11 26H1 users won't be able to upgrade to 26H2 as that is a different branch, but this is something we have known for a while now. Similar to previous annual feature updates, Windows 11 26H2 will offer the following support cycles: 24 months of support for Home, Pro, Pro EDU, and Pro for Workstations editions 36 months of support for Enterprise, Education, IoT Enterprise, and Enterprise Multi-session editions Microsoft has not confirmed a concrete release date for Windows 11 26H2, but noted that it is "coming soon". If we go by the ongoing release cadence, we can expect it to begin rolling out in early October 2026. As such, IT admins have been encouraged to begin validating Windows Insider releases in the Experimental Channel, plan rollout rings, and strategize the utilization of their existing deployment tools.
    • Windows 11 gets new audio improvements in the latest builds

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Windows 11 gets new audio improvements in the latest builds by Taras Buria Today's Experimental builds (26H1 and Future Platforms, formerly Canary) pack several audio-related improvements. If your device is enrolled in the Experimental Channel (26H1), you can download build 28120.2315, while those in the Future Platforms version have build 29613.1000 to try. Here is what is new in build 29613.1000: [Audio] Following up on our previous improvements, we’re making some more adjustments to Settings > System > Sounds based on your feedback. Namely, we’ve updated the “All sound devices” page so: You now have the ability to change default devices from this page. Each of the devices displayed on this page now has a little volume meter next to it to show if there is audio actively playing. We’ve adjusted the page design slightly so now you can filter whether you’re viewing input or output devices. We’ve added toggles so you can choose if you want to hide or show disabled, disconnected, and unplugged devices on this page. We’ve also updated the input and output audio properties page for devices in Settings to now include jack information for those that need it. And here is the changelog for build 28120.2315: This update includes a small number of minor bug fixes and improvements. [Accessibility] This update improves caption style responsiveness by redrawing captions immediately for caption style changes. If no current caption is visible, a sample caption string is displayed. [Audio] This update improves the reliability of the inbox HD Audio driver. You can find the official release notes for build 28120.2315 here and for build 29613.1000 here.

      I agree with what I think you are saying, just not in the way you are saying it. Like any tool, the amount it represents your work is perorational to the effort you put into it. It is similar to why 2nd grade math students learning to add and subtract are not allowed to use calculators, but a high-school calculous student is. For the 2nd grader, that tool would completely replace the work they are doing, for the calculous student the same tool allows them to work far more effectively while in no way replacing their effort or knowable. If you spend 30 seconds writing a prompt, then the image that comes out is no more "yours" than if you found the same image with a Google Image search. However, many of these generative tools also support highly iterative processes that allow back and forth, and merging generated images with photos or human created images. I am sure you would agree that a human spending hours of time working on a project, even if AI was involved in the process, still reflects that human's work.
    • Windows 11 version 26H2 is now available for testing in the latest preview build

      By TarasBuria · Posted

[Start menu] - Also available in Beta Improved reliability of Start menu reflecting newly installed or removed apps without requiring sign-out or restart. [Taskbar] Fixed an issue for Insiders using the new smaller taskbar option, where the system tray might get cut off or pushed off screen. [Settings] - Also available in Beta Improved reliability of Settings > Apps > Startup. [Virtualization] - Also available in Beta This update addresses an issue that could result in bugchecks citing HYPERVISOR_ERROR (0x20001) and KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED (0x1E) errors after installing the latest flights on some devices during system restarts, virtual machine operations, or while running some gaming applications. You can find the official changelog for the Experimental build here and for the Beta build here.
    • We now know when and how the Universe may truly end

      By sphbecker · Posted

      I've always preferred this possibility. There is something that feels good about the idea that all matter in the universe will eventually come back together and maybe even result in another big bang. The idea that the universe would fizzle out over the eons and forever drift apart is a little depressing. I realize it is not logical to let a basic human desire for life to have a grand everlasting meaning change the way I feel about a scientific theory, but I am human, so that is how I feel :-).
