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

    • Looks like the 7.1 is fake effects, can it at least do real 5.1? It says 'virtual 7.1' in all descriptions.
    • You can't, if you didn't notice, it doesn't support surround at all, it's right in the spec list.
    • Hi — I’m always interested in soundcards. Like displays, I just want to know I’m getting as much clean “sonic juice” into my brain as possible as the years take their toll. I’m not entirely sure what to take away from this review, though. It doesn’t really tell me whether the AE‑X is a good product or who it’s actually for. Most of what I’m getting is: there’s a driver to install, here’s what it looks like, and here’s what’s in the box. There’s a lot of emphasis on the SPDIF input. When you mention not needing to switch headphones between console and PC — does that mean the PC has to be powered on just to pass audio through? That seems like a fairly big waste of energy. Is this more something a streamer would use alongside a capture card? How are you testing the sound? (Also, you might want to clarify that you’re using the headphones in wired mode when you mention they’re wireless.) You mention the lack of EMI shielding — how much real‑world difference does that make compared with typical motherboard audio? On multi‑channel: what exactly isn’t supported? Does this mean Windows spatial audio (Dolby Atmos for Headphones, DTS Headphone:X, etc.) won’t work, or just that the card itself doesn’t decode surround formats? And are there any true multi‑driver “surround” headphones left that would even use that? You also highlight support for high‑impedance headphones — but what does that translate to in practice? How does it compare to driving the same headphones from a normal device, and does it make any difference for everyday, lower‑impedance models? In short, who is this card actually targeted at?
    • Yes, THIS is wordart, not the styling that can now be done. Wordart was all about those curvy words, that you could change the path of, like making words go around a circle. I don't think it can be done now, right?
