And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?

Why... now it's automatic spam when I join a game. FFFUUUUU
Is there a way to turn it off permanently? It's annoying as shit now to see other people's stupid conversations.

I bet they're forcing people to join General Chat by default to make it feel more like a multiplayer game in hopes that people will stop complaining (however slightly) that their single-player game is down for maintenance.

New Monk changes on the Mantra of Healing with Boon of Inspiration rune (previously Protection) give about 180 life on hit. That's not terrible if you don't have high resists to get the most out of the resist rune choice, but still want the Mantra for the shield+heal effect.
I roll with 610 life per hit and would like to get that up near 1k but will need a reasonably rolled Ouroboros to get there and that's going to cost a small fortune.

Anyone has f'ed up auction house bids? I won an item for amount way more (700K gold) than what I actually bid for it, and there's a refund for the same exact item in my completed list for my actual bid (43K gold)

DUUUUUMMMMBBBBB!
I can get it if it was just for the "lobby" area. But in game? No.

Says 102 latency but it's like a slideshow. I guess I'm done until later, any time I see a creature it's like a slideshow.

Wait, did patch not go through? I still have Boon of Protection on my monk.
The calculations really have fuck all to do with anything in terms of what label this game needs. You don't define a genre by the internal workings; the actual users are a lot more interested in the output of said internal workings when they're trying to figure out how to describe a video game. By that kind of logic Battlefield 3 is an MMO and a far more fully featured one than that. We don't though really because there's no reason to; we don't apply labels to games to figure out which user experience flaws we need to excuse, we apply them to help people understand what the gameplay might be like without them having played it.
Diablo 3 has even less in common gameplay wise with an MMO than Diablo 2. There are less players per game, less ways for players to interact with each other, and less forms of game management to connect players. By all measures it is farther from this distinction than the previous game was, but nobody was in any rush to call Diablo 2 an MMO. Mainly because just like Diablo 2 - and in fact to even more of a degree - this game makes no design decisions around the assumption that you ever be playing with another player. Ever. That is in fact the core that separates MMOs from other genres; not fucking online DRM or the ability to chat with people or even an item Auction House, but the idea that other players interacting with you via gameplay is actually reflected throughout the gameplay. It's not here, not even to the slightest bit more than the previous entry. It even automatically blocks your games from the public until it has your consent to do otherwise.
They can call this series an MMO when they actually design it as one, not just because they've built their long-term revenue stream around digital transactions of virtual goods at the cost of offline gameplay features.

every time now :/
It says tooltips will be fixed in a later patch. I guess that includes the name?
It's actually sort of a band-aid fix to help some disconnection issues. When connected to the chat server (even one you aren't seeing the output from) you're far less likely to have your connection dropped due to timeout.
Just wait till they link it to WoW trade chat so we can have "anal" spam.
I agree it's not an MMO, but I think this is kind of a useless semantic argument. I don't think Blizzard has ever called it one, and I don't think the only games that can or should be online only are MMOs. I've played plenty of online-only games, going all the way back to early 90s doors, that are definitely not MMOs.
Also, no one called D2 an MMO not so much because it wasn't one (again, I agree it wasn't one), but because that term didn't even exist when it came out.
Kind of like how the authenticator fixes their piss-poor password security management.
that band-aid burns my skin.
How long did it take them to restore?

I think this may be true. I'm getting back chunks of health now, faster than the boon alone, I think.

Have I been hacked? Every fifth log-in attempt it is telling me that my log-in information is wrong. :/ I went to battle.net through my browser, logged in with my password and changed it and it's still telling me it's wrong on 1/5 attempts.

Really? Because I've had more dropouts since they release the patch adding that then I did before it.
Adds to the atmosphere.
That's actually quite amusing.
So I'm constantly re-entering my password trying to logon, and I type it all lower case (special characters notwithstanding) and it successfully authenticates.
What the hell? I just re-verified this, and sure enough the logon authenticates just fine.
Blizzard passwords are NOT CASE SENSITIVE! No wonder they want everyone using authenticators because brute forcing your passwords is magnitudes easier than every password verification in the world.

Old news lol
I support your suggestion.
The actual point is that if people aren't hiding behind the "MMO" label, then people have every right to be upset about the features this game lacks that it shouldn't and in fact did not lack in the past. Nobody wants to hear "quit crying" from someone as if we're supposed to care about the reason Blizzard ultimately compromised in favor of themselves. We know why the did that, it doesn't actually address the concern people were voicing. The criticism is valid.
