Will you be adjusting the builds editor to allow people to make and search for 2.6.4 builds?
Doesn't really matter that much, to be fair.
Creating a guide now, doesn't need the build-section to be updated (unless for item reasons).
Searching for a build, doesn't need the patch either (to be fair, I never understood why it was even a search option). Just search by week/month (what ever fits).
Everyone (except the Xbox360 and PS3 doesn't get updated anymore - I think they stopped getting them around 2.0.6 or something) will be on the newest build/patch anyway, as there isn't really an option to not be on the newest build/patch. -

POE creates new content for every season, and is fucking free to play. You don't have to spend a dime to get the new content.
That is STILL the worst comparison that has ever been made between PoE and D3.
Sure, you dont HAVE TO pay to play PoE's content, but you can bet your ass that there are tons of people that buy their packs every time a new league starts (myself included). They are earning money like crazy. Dont even doubt that for a second.
Sure, every can play it for free without buying the packs - but if everyone did that; the game would have closed down loooong ago.
But they don't. I've played PoE since closed beta. That's about 7 or so years of playing it on and off. In that much time I've spent under $150 USD on packs and the like for the game or $21.42 per year on average. Blizzard should've adopted or switched over to a F2P monetization system ages ago for D3 in order to help fund the costs for development - it's not their first game doing F2P (hearthstone, heroes of the storm, even SC2 multiplayer went completely F2P not that long ago). Not paywall it like Necro DLC. You should know better, none of PoE's content is paywalled, 4 stash tabs standard for a free account and all the actual 'content' in experiencing to play the game in it's entirety is completely free. People spend money on it because the system and the game itself is strong enough to warrant doing so. It's funny how things went in opposite directions for PoE and D3.
D3 from Blizzard who had the funds and means to redefine the 2D ARPG genre for many years and could've had the potential to surpass D2 as a legacy defining title instead turned into this minimalistic effort maintenance mode game.
PoE from 3 guys working out of their garage from New Zealand plodded on thru for years and got to where they are now.
Both games have their differences, at this point everybody knows that. But D3's fell off, their idea of trying to introduce a 'theme' in their seasons are literally ripped off mechanics of holiday events of the past. They're practically copying and pasting lines of code in the past but to last around 3-4 months.
They dont? Doesn't really add up with what you mention you've bought.
You just stated, that in the time that you've played the game, you've spent more than D3+Expansion+DLC costs.
..and you're hardly even buying any packs, compared to the rest of the community. Just compared to me, you've hardly used anything on the game, but for each player that doesn't buy anything; there will easily be ones that buy tons of stuff. I've bought $90 worth of packs, the last 4-5 leagues (usually $30-60 before that) and I've reached the "Redeemer"-pack for the current "expansion" (thinking about throwing $80 on top of that, to get the "Subjugator"-upgrade), while also buying the initial founder/supporter pack for the game, way back when it got opened up for that.
If you spread out yearly earning for "the average player", it wont be that big a sum - but it'll be way more than the earnings Blizzard made with D3 (AH aside, when that was a thing).
I agree, that Blizzard should have monetized D3 way better, after the closure of the AH - but I kinda think they "crawled into hiding" with that massive failure and continued outrage from the community over other things at the time. They were stumped - big time..
Just like when people were outraged about the "Season only"-legendaries. Massive outrage about that, which kinda ruined the "uniqueness" of seasons and the longevity of it. Now it's "just the same" (but I still play every season and complete every journey), with no real difference added to them.
If D3 had cosmetic wings (and other cosmetics) in the shop, like they do in the Asian version - I'd be buying the shit out of that as well. It was a missed opportunity on their part. Should have brought that over, when they were doing it on that client. -

Wow.. It's real easy to spot, that the purchase of Curse, and the addition of video uploads to Twitch, has changed this site a fair bit (Just glad you guys stopped setting the Twitch videos to auto-play!)
Every video via Twitch, instead of the usual YouTube stuff before.
Amazon/Twitch is really pushing to try and get people to use the video upload feature, I guess.
Oh well.. It works - it's video, regardless of where it's hosted.

On topic though:
...that cosplay is very low-effort. Just looks like something that was scrapped together, from various pieces of cosplay and then a skull was slapped on the head and one was grabbed..
In regards to Rhykker's video; that was 3+ weeks ago (at least his YouTube video about it, which is the same content). Yeah, I know this post was done a week ago, but that's still 2+ weeks after his video went up.. That's not really new news anymore. But hey.. I guess some people haven't heard/seen it.
Not really a fan of the Westmarch Workshop, so won't/can't comment on those. -

I wonder how long it'll be, before the new mobs actually show up in Rifts.
It's not something I've looked into, but with their track-record of adding mobs from new zones; it'll probably be in a few months after the patch goes live :/ -

I would assume it rolls with a socket and 3 primaries, seeing as a socket is handled like a primary.

Should release on their usual patch days (Tuesday for US and Wednesday for EU).Quote from stevemunoz»
Does the patch release on 3/31 with the new season, or will it come out before the new season starts?
This might be the coming week or the week after (just before season 10 start). I'm more inclined to say it's gonna be the week the season starts. -

Tagger posted a message on Final Play Your Way Livestream, Gargantuan Mechanics for 2.3Posted in: News
"Gargantuan Mechanics" ?
Really?
They have no "mechanics". They either attack (with great force) or stand around looking at you/your pets getting slaughtered.
They tried fixing their pathing/non-attacking, but it's still happening. It has happened enough to me, that the damage boost they would otherwise give, gets diminished massively. You're lucky if you haven't run into this at all - that happens as well.
They work superbly, on paper - but in reality they aren't as effective as they should be.
Edit:
To clarify; I say "they" because of the new ring which splits 1 Gargantuan into 3... -

Tagger posted a message on Upcoming PTR Wipe and PatchPosted in: News
Now they just need to take a look at bows/crossbows, compared to melee weapons.
The damage gap on the weapons is massive!
I'm guessing everyone has this or that it's some kind of bug that doesn't show up for everyone.
I had my BS at level 10 - highest the bows/crossbows I was able to craft at the highest, were at 150-280 base dmg (approximately) from the BS list (obviously when craft, that value would end up higher). Melee weapons were listed at 800-980 base dmg from the same list. That just doesn't seem right, at all.
Either it's a bug or they totally forgot some code somewhere..
TL:DR:
"Level 60" melee weapons were/are showing up way stronger than ranged weapons. -

Tagger posted a message on PTR Patch 2.2.1 Datamined, Exploit Definition, Discipline Bonus Damage SpreadsheetPosted in: News
....but doesn't "end-game" mechanics require you to do something in specific steps? I.e.: doing a serious of attacks that "combo" great together with gear and such (also a "mechanic" of the game), to get absolute max out of what you're trying to do.
I don't really see how that was a clarification of any kind (how you describe it) o.O
It kinda just describes kinda broad, how everything that requires specific steps, is then an exploit.
Nevalistis is talking about bugs - how you, with specific steps, can abuse those to your advantage, which then makes it exploitation of a bug.
Any kind of abuse, in regards to bugs (something unintended), is per definition an exploit. Everyone should know that per default.
I kinda feel like you need to revise that line you wrote, so it actually describes it in terms of using specifics steps with bugs.
..as Nevalistis clearly states
Other than that;
Yay! Bandit Shrine (What ever the buck that means)

Who elected you to speak for the whole community? - I saw nothing about this. Speak from your own sense of self - not everyone else. Let them make up their own minds.
Where did I say specifically, that you couldn't wait? - I was simply guessing, based on your state of mind.
My statement about it not going live withing a season, is based on statements from Blizzard. They left in various bugs and what not, because they didn't want the same experience as they had in an earlier season where a patch during a season, lead to a big meta change. It basically messed everything up - the top of the leaderboards ended up being close to the bottom and so on. It's not 'grabbed out of thin air' - it's purely from statements they've made in the past, in regards to patches during a season.

They got the patch, because of the filesize of the console patch. The PC filesize is (as always) going to be nowhere near the console size and doesn't need that much time to get sorted. Besides; it's MS and Sony that control when patches get sent to the end-user (on console - if that wasn't obvious) - not the developer/publisher. They need to get sent through certification from MS/Sony.
'Blizzard always finds a way to fuck with us' - really?
I'm sure that was their first though - Obviously has to be - Can't possibly be anything else.
Season 9 starts on Friday - if you can't wait until then (at most), then you've got some serious issues in your life.
I'd hate to be anyone in your family, telling you that they have a gift for you or something, that you'd be getting within any given timeframe - guessing you might explode within minutes of getting that info.
Just relax and do something else. No need to get all fired up over something that is guaranteed to be out within 2 days (They 100% won't set the patch to go live, after a season starts - that's a 'no-go' for Blizzard).

Would be a bit weird, if it doesn't go live on that date though - but still; they aren't saying it does. Just that it starts soon.

It's just the randomness of D3 server "efficiency and stability".
My ping has been steady at around 25-32ms and I run the following specs:
i7-6700K
GTX 970
16 GB DDR4
The game is run on a Samsung 850 Pro.
I still get these small "lags" here and there. It's been happening since release - people stating that they aren't seeing it, have simply gotten used to it and don't notice it anymore (I don't mean that in a bad way at all - I wish I could ignore it, despite it only happening once or twice per hour or something).

I can easily understand that everyone wants it at the same time, but having downtime during the afternoon/evening is simply just madness.

I don't recall them EVER "activating" a patch on the day a season started (I could be wrong - I simply can't remember all the seasonal patches, since I started in S1).
Doing so, would be like shooting yourself in the foot - seeing as they say, over and over again; that they don't want to do any kind of updates during seasons (unless it's VERY critical). They've got no clue if it'll go as planned, when everything "fires up". That's why patches go live on Tuesdays/Wednesdays (NA/EU) and not on "the big day" - they then have a few days to sort out the last of the kinks, if there are any that needs attention right away.
Sure.. We've seen downloads happen over time before - but that was the bigger content updates - not something like the regular patches between seasons. The last one was 2.4 and before that, it was.. ehm.. I can't even recall - it's been so long (it seems)..

No matter if someone else has it or not; you should always report a bug.
It might pop up further down the line, for a bigger amount of people - you never know.
It's always best to report these issues so they can get ahead of it, while it might not be that widespread.

Everything gets moved to non-season. Cubed items included

Just got a 1.x GB patch for the PTR.
Guessing the issues might be fixed sometime very soon?
The game now states that there's an update and a restart needs to be made to update (despite it being updated already). Guessing the servers just need to catch up

You've apparently got something that "steals focus" and minimizes your game.
Something like Fraps can do this (not guaranteed - but it can) - I know that from experience, at least.
What I did, before figuring out that it was Fraps that did it to me (and in some cases, even an old Steam bug from several years ago, where Steam doesn't want to "let go of focus", when starting something..), was the following:
If the game starts minimized, keep clicking the game on your taskbar. Even after the screen goes black, as you're then clicking in the game window.
When clicking fairly fast, you "force focus" onto that program/game, because you are (as mentioned right above), clicking in the game window and forcing whatever it is, to "let go of focus" as it is needed elsewhere.
If it fails; try again (I'm not saying you should keep trying this a hundred times - just 2-3 times - if it doesn't do anything; then that's not the issue you're having).
I know it sounds weird and you probably think I'm trolling you - but I'm not (me saying that, probably didn't help that either.. lol)
That's what I do, if I experience it via Steam - it doesn't happen that often anymore though..
If the above mentioned didn't work - I'm at a loss.
I hope you figure it out though

That's from Page 40.
Clearly directs you to the very starting point of the Campaign (Overlook Road), from where you can see the town and follow the road to the gates
I don't know if the pages are set-specific (as in; one set dungeon at one specific spot - and only that one), but when going there; I got the dungeon for the Invoker-set
There's one thing I dislike about them though.. For the Invoker-dungeon, you need iron skin + consecration. Nowhere does it tell you that, before going in there. Not that it really matters that much, as I'm guessing you can change while in there - didn't try, as I didn't find the dungeon hard or challenging in any way - I could just walk and all mobs pretty much died after they hit me once. Sad..
