Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

    There was one case that I recall where someone claimed that it had happened from a man in the middle attack. Iirc, it was never confirmed.

    Soon... soon I will install you, my precious.

    Wasn't there some issue with this a while back? Something about people getting keylogged and the person using the authenticator code within the 1 minute window it was active for or something? It might've just been hyperbole or exaggeration, but I definitely remember it being 'a thing' for a while like a year or two ago.

    Either way, I've never considered the authenticator impervious to attack. More like a condom or a kevlar vest; an extra layer of protection on top of the other layers in place (decent password, active anti-virus, etc, etc, etc).

    I'm about two hours away from taking my last final of the semester, and then I'll be finished with classes until August or September. So ... this game needs to come out now. Like, right now, lol.

    Will there be a demo of this available? I'm not crazy about buying computer games only to get them home and realize they don't run well on my hardware.

    My WoW account was hacked once and after it was restored they sent me an authenticator for free. Just get your account hacked and you're golden!

    I can only imagine the person who mails these things out mutters about being surprised some people manage to dress themselves in the morning without breaking a bone.

    Seems like a job you'd end up convinced in a higher power, because natural selection would've weeded us out long ago otherwise.

    There will be something similar to the Starcraft 2 starter edition, no traditional demo though.

    I thought there was something either revealed or accidentally uncovered in the beta about a "Diablo 3 starter edition" that is basically the same content as the beta with a message at the end to buy the full game (and then it just unlocks)

  • ZekZek Registered User regular
    Yeah, WoW is free to play up until level 20 IIRC and they'll probably have a similar program for D3.

    I'd bet on a later date. They probably don't feel like they need the lite version right away.

    I agree. They will be content to make money hand over fist for the first month or two, and then once things cool down they will dangle the free trials to hook the uninitiated and/or uncertain.

    They'll probably get Diablo ones in sometime after launch. I'm not sure but I don't think the SC2 ones showed up on the store till after the game was out, did they?

    Unless you got one of the free ones from Blizzcon like I did. (Would still rather have a Diablo one.)

    Lame, my account got hacked (pretty sure) and I didn't get a free one. :( I just attached the mobile app to my account just now, though. Apparently I get some free pet? So nice of them, especially since I'm pretty sure my WoW account is still locked from when I got hijacked. Don't really plan on returning, so I'm not worried about getting it unlocked.

    edit: Oh yeah, I forgot to mention. I kept getting obvious scam emails to the address I had registered originally. I changed my Bnet email and changed passwords on everything to make sure it doesn't happen again. And I still get those dumb emails. I guess they just can't figure it out? :P

    Technically the Annual Pass was kind of a pre-order bonus ;) Otherwise I doubt it.

    Pre-order bonus? The bonus is you get to play Diablo 3 on May 15.
    I think the ONLY thing that's been anywhere was a $10 off on Newegg a month ago. Besides that, I haven't seen a thing. And there doesn't really need to be any bonus, we finally get Diablo 3! Basically it's worth the $60 just for that.

    My WoW account was hacked while it was inactive and the dude apparently sold all my stuff. They said they would send it back to me via in-game mail, but I never resubscribed. Will that stuff still be there or will it have expired and I can look forward to a naked 85 if I ever sign up again?

    If you have a friend with an active character, what you can do is ask them to send you a Scroll of resurrection. It gives you free 7 days of gametime with no CC required.

    Then you can just login and set everything up back to normal.

    I guess that much is true. I have other things to pass time and plenty of future time/effort to give to Blizzard. No reason to start now with something that isn't D3.

    Guess I'll use the app for now til the D3 one comes out. Hope they still won't be charging for shipping at that point.

    Barbarians become a mountain of steel. Also Witch Doctors start looking amazing.

    Female Wizards, on the other hand, clearly have no problem showing skin.

    I meant to start with, in case that wasn't clear.

    And female wizard's dressed like that actually makes sense given their personality (as much of it as I've picked up on, anyway). Wonder if the male version has a 'Ha, I don't need armor...and check out these abs' model too.

    Threw together the new OP. I'm going to call this the first draft, since I plan on updating large chunks of it (especially the crafting and followers sections) after the game has been out and make it less preview-ish. Plus I'll be able to take proper screens of stuff.

    Feel free to tell me how horrible it is and what needs improving, what it's missing, etc.

    Not quite, but they've said one of the dyes we'll be able to obtain (I don't know how) is an invisibility dye. Any armor you dye with it will just not display on your character.
