Upper/lower case doesn't matter on a battle.net password for some strange reason.

See if I would be mad at anything it's the fact that the program doesn't lock you out after 5 attempts or something? Seriously, what the fuck?
Moving all my known passwords into LastPass and changing them to 20 characters (including specials) in length as randomly generated by the LastPass site may have taken me an entire afternoon, but it was time well spent. Even if a site I'm registered to is hacked and the password database stored in plain text, I don't have to worry as it's singular to that site.

Out of curiosity does it usually take a long time for an authenticator to ship? I ordered one last Monday, the thing still hasn't freaking shipped.
There's no sync. The application and the server both know what the code should be every fifteen seconds.

Did you quote the right post? Does that sound irate?

Luckily the ah has not been made an essential part of the game in any way or this could be frustrating.
I have pretty similar stats to you (different build though) and just get mauled deeper in Act 2 regardless. I think I've finally cracked an am shelving my Monk.

I find that really surprising. I'll take your word for it, but it always surprises me how many people don't know about Battle.net account hacks. When WoW hacks were going on, it was huge news in gaming. You didn't have to play WoW to know. You just have to look in the general direction of gaming news.
I'm just saying. It's not a secret.
All the same, I'm glad people are finally doing it. The minute you know one exists, you should put one on your account. There's no reason to take an unnecessary risk.
Considering other MMOs like SWTOR also use authenticators, I would think the process of attaching one to your online game account was rather ubiquitous.
Don't be silly. I was just asking a question.
On the Android app there is a resync option, as well as a restore option.
Act 4 elite, took like 15 minutes to get her to that health. Then she enraged and now she's impossible to kill.
Yes btw, that's 168 million health.
Multiplayer? I have the guide and it doesn't even have bosses with that much health listed in the guide. Belial for instance has only has 10 million in inferno if you are playing solo. Do champion mobs get bigger increases?
That happened to me as well, ended up getting my gold back or the item showed up hours later. It's slow but I think you will get everything back.
Why would you do 4 player Inferno? :/
Don't they have like 430%-440% health? I would restrict myself to 2 player max for Inferno unless I am missing some obvious team synergy stuff.

Currently stuck at Skeletton King in Hell. He one shot my monk. I guess I should look to trade so dps for more life and strenght.
How multiplayer boost enemies ? Do they get stronger ? More life ? More of them ?

I imagine it's an Act IV mob with Extra Health affix with 4 players ingame. The scaling in with multiple players is broken at the moment and doesn't encourage grouping at all, especially in inferno. It's so much easier to solo than with a group.
Edit: It really doesn't have have Extra health? thats insane.

I'd be good if the auction house told you how much other peoples' items sold for.
Agreed... Inferno on paper is harder in groups (the more the harder) than it is solo. Other difficulties are easier with more people on.
More of them and they have more health. If you have 4 people then a mob will have a bit under 4 times the normal health. There will be more loot drop of course too.
In Inferno it's fucked up though, if you have 4 people then the mob will have OVER 4 times the normal health.

submit a ticket through customer service. explain what happened and give the transaction ID's. this happened to me and I got a refund.
it's usually pretty easy to get an idea. sort by price starting at the lowest prices and scroll until you find the it. you'll know what range something sold for. rare are the occasions when this doesn't work.
Oh I got the gear, I just dont need 3 sets of boots and 2 belts.
I sold them again on the AH so i got the money back.
Up to Hell you benefit from being in a group as overall the mobs should be weaker than 4 characters (as they are under 400% health).
It's really only Inferno that's broken.
I turned on that stream and I got the "You have Died" message.

480% health, I believe.
I think them having more health is fine. You just need better weapons.
I have a problem with the difficulty of acquiring said weapons and the enemies attack power.
Official.
I don't see the point of using an authenticator on your computer, since if a trojan is keylogging your computer won't it also get your WinAuth info?

Relative to 123 and rD$9jF3iQ0LIn2#aU%zYq, and to the best of my and my PC security software's knowledge my PC isn't compromised. My battle.net password was actually an old one that I haven't used in years, so it's possible that it was still out there somewhere considering the Gawker, PSN, Steam, and other breaches in the past few years (I'm not certain where I've used it before). It's my fault that I didn't change it when I installed Diablo 3, but at the time I didn't think of it. After the reports of compromised accounts emerged I thought I was safe if I didn't join public games. I admit fault, but I think Blizzard should be requiring everyone to use authenticators considering the amount of compromised accounts.
I'm not asking for that, I'm asking for them to provide free (either physical or digital) authenticators to everyone that buys Diablo 3.

I asked this question yesterday but nobody answered. How do you level characters so quick. I've played this game for 27 hours and I'm just at the beginning of Act IV on normal. I really don't want to spend that much time again with every single class. In D2 there was this word I heard of "rushing" where a high level character would keep you alive during higher difficulty boss battles and you would level up quicker. Is this still the case?

check the last page (or a couple pages ago if you're using GAF silver's 50 posts/page limit).
if I want to see that, I can just boot up the final stage of Act II, Inferno of my own game. lolyou can see that message in like twice per minute.

So I bought two copies this past Friday to have an all night marathon with a old school buddy.
We installed and got it set up great. Had it all maxed out settings on my rig, and he had it running rather smoothly for his MBP (lowered a bunch of settings but the resolution was the highest and had textures still at high)
But his internet was pretty bad. At first (walking up to Old Tristam) it must have been 2000+ms ping. We stopped for a bit. At this point we were both wirelessly connected. Right now, it was unplayable. I'd shoot a dart as a WD, and it would fly out about 5-6 seconds real time later. Movement was delayed, and the characters would warp when it would sync to the server.
We then tried wiring it in to the router. This helped, reduced the ping by around half, down to 1000ms. Still terrible at points though, I would have moments where he was clearing through trash and I would freeze while he was still fighting, and I'd be able to see my actions on his screen, but mine would be a standstill except for my character still making the movements. It could last for up to 5 minutes. Heaven forbid someone couldn't use a wired connection.
Eventually we realized that his brothers were using the PS3 to watch netflix, and it was taking up a huge chunk of the bandwidth.
Regardless, I know for a fact that if the game didn't handle 50% of the work server side, we would have never had that problem. By the time it was past midnight, they finished watching their shows, and we started up again. Lo and behold it was fine, not amazing, just fine. 100ms ping. Occasionally would shoot up to 300 every 10 minutes or so. This was all still wired through ethernet.
The game is so much fun, but it really soured both of our taste for it at first, it was practically unplayable. And all for what? An auction house? I wanted us to get twice as far as we did last night.
Great game, if it didn't have the always online I'd probably give it a 9 or 10, but with that feature and the fact that people with multiple internet users can take such a heavy hit, its probably a 7 or 8 for me right now.
That said, can't wait for act 2.

The waterways in Act II lined with champ packs are fiendish on Hell
Try to kite one and you aggro another
Kite more and there's another one on top of that
It's beautiful

I had the same problem. I found that there were elites that I simply could not kill, I simply quit out and started the game again. Sure it wiped my progress in that particular area, but it reset the mobs as well - possibly in my favor. Its a bit cheap, but it worked.
The problem in Inferno isn't even the health, it's that the mobs hit 40% harder which means they pretty much one shot everyone and are barely tankable even with really good gear.
That doesn't happen anymore but there is a way to get easy EXP. Completing quests give you global EXP which is a fixed amount, a low level character can level up easily this way.
Act 4 elite, took like 15 minutes to get her to that health. Then she enraged and now she's impossible to kill.
Yes btw, that's 168 million health.
I think there's some kind of bug when it comes to elites. My group tried to take one down in act 4 on hardcore and it was impossible to take it down because the health bar doesn't go anywhere below half.
