Best Buy is giving free Steelseries MMO mice to people waiting in line to the first 15 people ... if I get there in time that would be sweet but if not I will just buy the digital copy haha.

You won't be buying much digitally :p Battle.net is completely down, and that's hours before even the EU launch.

I understand the convenience, but being one on central time, don't see the sense in not getting the box version of this.

Gonna grab some pizza, and eat out with friends while we pick up our copies of Kuh-takl-ism. Go home, chill out, install, and wait...

Vacation from Wed - Friday also. :cool:

I bought the digital copy the day it came out, I don't have extra money and for the few bucks I saved this way.. it helped.

Bought my digi copy, told my employees I was take a personal day, one of them figured it out lol, and Ill be at on 12am PST to log in!!!

Eh, I was too iffy on this part. While Blizzard says it'll be the flip of a switch, somehow I get the feeling there will be lag, issues, or whatever that will require urgent attention.

That's why I didn't take Tuesday off. :p

We'll see though!

If tomorrow is anything like when TBC went live, it won't be worth logging in. Rolling-restarts-a-plenty.

I had a bad experience on Illidan - US for Wrath, as the realm couldn't handle the load. We had a thread that went over 130 pages I think even, requesting Blizzard to just lower the cap since those that were on were lagging like crazy anyway and couldn't play. Seriously, no sense in waiting in an hour long queue just to lag...

Yeah, me too. If I took tomorrow off, chances are my realm would be down all day due to issues. But I remember Lich King's launch went off w/o any problems (at least on the realm I play on).

True that. I would rather wait a little longer in queue than deal with a laggy unplayable game.

Blizz has had two xpacs to work things out by now.

I don't have to worry about it either way as my CE is sitting at home waiting for me after finals. Though I have enjoyed the new content after the shattering. Anyone else punch Deathwing in the face?

Aaaand with everyone trying to relog in advance of the real deal, the login servers in Europe were already down before anyone logged in with Cataclysm. Still nothing. You US peeps shouldn't expect it to go all that smooth.

Blizzard: Telling your whole european World of Warcraft playerbase to login at the same time on the launch of your biggest expansion yet, was the most idiotic thing in the history of gaming.

Have to agree with this...

Absolute idiotic, Play the minute realms go live... I didnt get my digi download for no reason I got it so I could do exactly what they said, play the minute it goes live... Surely they can get done for false advertisement or something?

LOL. Read the EULA that you agreed to and see what it says about not being able to login to a game server :D. Best just to go outside and do something else until Blizzard gets their **** figured out.

I plan to buy Cataclysm at midnight tonight, but am trying very hard not to get my hopes too high for being able to play the game afterward.

I had previously assumed that the release would go poorly as they have still yet to perfect the patching process. Also on previous Expansion Sets (BC, LK) The first day or so is generally a restart fest filled with realm restarts and poor quality connections. Not to mention all of the people that have started playing the game again that Have not played in a while and the potential for queue for logging into the server.

I am not in the EU though... I was able to add the digital download to my account no problem ... but for my GF's account I will wait in line to get the free mouse lol

Im sure False advertising is different from EULA and also different from country to country.

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones

      By ExecutiveFunction404 · Posted

      This got me thinking, would you rather a self driving car prioritise protecting its passengers or everyone else? I'd choose the one that keeps me and my kids safest. At some point, these cars have to make those choices already, don't they? Wonder if we have a way to find out what way they lean.

      The proportion (or number of iterations) has nothing to with this aspect of Copyright I am describing. In short, it doesn't matter how many times the manager tells you to change something or how. Your work product is always YOURS until and unless you then assign that to the person representing the client/company, usually for financial compensation -- either in salary or as a subcontract work for hire payment. if iterations determined copyright, then businesses would have learned to just keep making changes until they could claim they owned the copyright, without having to compensate the artist for their work. And that would be BAD. The only place where the amount of changes does have a role is in how much does a human modify a previous public domain work (from any source) before it is considered fair use or their own work, etc. For example, if a human makes substantial changes to a public domain (re: AI, by definition) work, then they can then claim that derivative work as their own...but NEVER the original version, of course. That's why anyone can make a movie about Dracula, for example, as long as it is based on the public domain novel, but not if they take new ideas from copyrighted movies made afterwards. As one of the people who personally advised the US Copyright Office on their recent ruling on these very issues, be assured that I specifically used the terminology precisely -- though I made it simple enough for laymen to understand it. If I made this confusing by doing so, I apologize. But, to be clear regarding your assumption that I would agree to your second statement that I quoted above -- the answer is NO. If AI does the work, no matter how much "direction" you give it, it cannot be copyrighted. All AI generated content is in the Public Domain and therefore the copyright cannot be assigned to ANYONE, even you -- until and unless substantial modifications are made to it BY A HUMAN BEING (yourself or a contracted artist/writer/etc.) and then that copyright on the derivative work is legally (in writing) transferred to you. This is a critical distinction. And it is important that people, especially AI sloppers, understand this. For example, YouTube is not paying AI slop generators for the copyright, etc. of their AI slop. What YouTube is doing is sharing AD REVENUE for permission to publish your AI slop. Copyright/ownership/rights never come into it. Importantly, that means that anyone can copy any AI slopware on YouTube, etc. and rehost it anywhere they want, even back on YouTube, and there is nothing legal that YouTube can do about it with regards to copyright protections, ownership, DMCA, etc. Anyone is legally free to use any AI slopware in any way they want. When this ruling was pending, I warned Disney legal of all of this before they did their OpenAI deal -- that it would literally dilute their entire IP portfolio forever. They ignored that warning for the PR and stock bump. But that is why, when the ruling came down last year, Disney quickly extricated themselves from that OpenAI deal, even eating the initial upfront fees -- followed closely by OpenAI ending their entire AI video generating business model. They adjusted their PR release dates to make this less obvious to shareholders, of course. Phew. I hope that this clears up the key distinctions for you and anyone reading. If you have any additional questions or even hypotheticals about AI and Copyright, please feel free to ask.

      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. About time.
