Another few hours left to go till Servers go back up. Gah damn Blizzard and their obsessively long downtimes. From the patch notes it appears Hunters get even more OP.

Yes in a few hours the servers will come up, however they wont be stable for a few days lol.

We're in the process of transitioning many of our internal tools to the new patch and are experiencing longer than anticipated time to completion. We're now estimating maintenance to be completed and realms available by 4:00 p.m. PDT. We're working to get you in-game as quickly as possible. Thank you for your patience.

Son of a b*tch! Always another extension of time. Well looks like I gotta wait till after work to play it now. GG Blizz!

With a major patch like this, I think this was to be expected. No? Plus its blizzard! Lol

I will probably activate my account just for this patch, to see how everything is working out.

I just started my newly patched client and was checking out the graphics options. Most of the new graphics features are locked out because my computer is too old (Pentium 4, GeForce 6800). Makes me sad. :cry:

However they finally fixed the refresh rate problem where it only listed 60Hz. I can finally choose higher settings again.

I'm at work at the moment so can't check the statues, but is it still down?

Officially, yea. Blizzard extended the maintenance until 9PM EDT. Unofficially, it seems like the servers are up, but they're quirky. For instance, I (and a ton of others) can't get past the loading screen.

Weapon Skill - This stat will be removed from the game completely. Classes will start with all the weapon skills they need to know and will not need to improve them.

All the wasted hours capping every weapon skill.... That kinda sucks.

After about 2 hours of patching, I go to log in, and the game instantly crashes with no error. Wonderful.

Shattered!

I'm still about 3 hours and 15 mins from logging in so I hope this is all sorted by the time I get home.

Tried just deleting your Cache folder? Sounds similar to a problem I had multiple times on the PTR after patches, and clearing the cache always fixed it.

I still don't understand why people try to log in so hard during patch days, after years and years of patch days - You would think people would begin to understand to not bother trying to log in until the next day.

its called being 1337 .... ( or simply not having anything else to do at that time :p )

also if its related to MR_Candyman then the point is mute as the crash ( client error ) could be fixed in a week which is unacceptable ..

it should however be obvious that .. after a patch like this there will be lag :PP some ppl just dont get it :p

    • So its a museum of AI prompts? Boring
    • This one baffles me...so they are creating a museum based around the Ship of Theseus? A museum is supposed to preserve things. It doesn't really work if the conversation goes, "I gazed upon Starry Night the other day, the colours were beautiful!" "Yeah...I didn't expect Godzilla to show up, though." Create a building devoted to displaying AI work, fine. The rainforest idea sounds interesting and I would consider visiting if they pay me a few bucks. But don't call it a museum...
    • >defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool It is not. It is the inhuman artist replacement. The human writing the prompt is the employer/manager requesting the work product of the artist -- a supervisory/descriptive job that doesn't carry with it any rights to the copyright of that work product at all. And since AI is not human itself, it can't gain copyright for anything it is asked to regurgitate or hallucinate, so it can't transfer that copyright to the employer/manager/human who asked for the output. This was all legally reaffirmed last year. So, no, while there are AI tools, AI slopware generation is NOT a "tool" in the legal definition of that word.
    • As long as i get to play GTA 6 before it ends 😂😂
    • Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles by Ivan Jenic Image via: Google Ever since AI image generators went mainstream, the debate over whether AI-generated art is real art hasn't let up. Those who don’t consider AI to be art say that if a machine does the creating and anyone can prompt it, there’s no skill involved, and therefore no art is produced. The counter-argument is equally persistent, as defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool, and that every major technological breakthrough, like the camera or the computer, was met with the same skepticism before eventually being accepted as a legitimate creative medium. Google’s position in this debate is clear. Which is no surprise, as the company is investing billions in AI infrastructure. And now, in efforts to encourage people to use its AI even more, Google is opening Dataland on June 20, which it's calling the world's first AI arts museum. Located inside The Grand LA, a Frank Gehry-designed building in Los Angeles, the museum spans 25,000 square feet. The museum is built around a collaboration with media artist Refik Anadol, who has worked with Google since 2016. The inaugural exhibition is called Machine Dreams: Rainforest, and is powered by an AI model trained on “an extensive dataset of the natural world.” It generates 1.2 billion pixels of visuals in real time and reacts to visitors dynamically. The space also generates soundscapes, real-time emotion sensing, and algorithmically produced scents. Image via: Refik Anadol Studio / Google Google says that the museum is powered by its Gemini models, which run on Google Cloud. So, everything is generated inside one of Google’s AI data centers and is streamed to the museum. Alongside the museum opening, Google Arts & Culture is funding an AI Artist Residency, giving four artists $25,000 grants each, along with mentorship from Refik Anadol Studio and access to Google's machine learning tools. Their work will be shown at Dataland and on the Google Arts & Culture website later this year. Google’s AI museum will undoubtedly initiate a fired-up debate on social media, and we can’t wait to see the first reactions. Via: Smithsonian Magazine
