Kids break and lose things, it's part of being a kid. If we are really fortunate we get to live a paltry hundred years at best, love your kid. Time is fleeting and your kid is the legacy you leave to the world.

I must say that is an interesting way to bring the full force of hell down upon you.

I'm rather old, quite possibly the oldest person in all of the Curse websites. In today's world I'm sure you're right. When I say bots I'm thinking about every damn macro running, stat building, God mode thieving f***ing bastard over the last 25 years that caused me frustration and anguish!

Bots are the reason a lot of people quit playing games, good riddance and a barbarian spit on their graves.

Thanks Nacho! That means a lot!

@Nacho - Work thingy:lol:, yeah at times it feels like a thingy. Sometimes old stuff is better than new stuff, glad hear you are still going strong. Some day I want to take a trip south of the equator or even just get to the equator, I have not traveled abroad nearly enough.

@Ducha - Very good, when do you graduate? Sorry to hear the place you are at is ending, I've been in that situation too many times, I feel your pain. Sounds like social life is pretty good though.

@Jamoose - Good to see you as well! Hope things have been good for you over these last few years. I'll be on here a little more often now.

@All: - I recently took the family on the new High Roller Ferris Wheel on the strip, from what they advertise it's currently the worlds tallest at550 feet, 28 cabins in all each cabin is 44,000 lbs and can hold 40 people for a max capacity of 1120 people, it's 30 minutes for it to go around fully. I bought the express pass to bypass the line, never in my wildest dreams though did I think I would get an entire cabin for just my family :Thumbs Up:Here is a 360 view video I created while at the top, you can here my wife singing in the background (she likes doing that).

And here is a gallery of images, it was a pretty cool ride.

One of the shots, cheers everyone

Password crackers typically scroll through a password dictionary until it find yours. If you haven't done so already, change your password to a complex alpha, numeric, special character combination at least 9 characters long, preferably 14 characters. You can make it easy to remember by using a word you won't forget and supplanting letters for characters or numbers.

For example: GordonFreeman! could be turned into G0rd0nFr33m@n!

If you are a Half Life fan the name is easy to remember and then remember you used the number 0 for o, 3 for e, and @ for a. Even though hackers know this trick it expands the potential combinations to the point that your password will likely not get hacked, unless they hack Blizzards servers and get every-ones passwords from the database.

As Bodycount1 said, you may still have a keylogger on though, so if you don't have a good malware detection and removal tool yet. You may want to consider getting the free version of malwearebytes. It does pretty good job of finding crap like that. This is official download location http://download.cnet...j=dl&tag=button

If you follow your passion you can't go wrong, you will do well because it is play to you, so you never really work.

UPDATE 08/25/12

I'm discussing the same issue on battlenet with posters there too, I think (and I knew this before I posted it) the issue is I have to go to the fricken AH for my gear, which I think royally sucks because I haven't found it in the game. So that is really my gripe here, I should be able to find everything I need in game. I'm in the Fields of Misery and I have found only 1 thing, some chest armor which stats are only partly better than my old armor in normal mode.

I have no interest in the AH, I have no plan on visiting Sanctuary's version of Ebay. I should be able to find adequate gear in the game, like both earlier versions of Diablo did, that would solve the problem right there. If Jay is so hell bent on people using the AH he could have at least integrated the feature with the merchants inside the game, that way at least you don't feel like you are being herded into some cheesy tool.

ORIGINAL POST 08/24/12

You should watch the youtube video (showing patch 1.0.4) before reading my comments.


When Diablo 1 launched in 98, I bought it and loved it. The game was entertaining; game-play scaled well keeping it interesting as I descended further down into the dungeon.

When Diablo 2 launched I bought that too, as before the game was entertaining and scaled well between each act and as you progressed from normal to nightmare. Hell mode was more than I cared for and I never bothered playing hardcore mode. I was happy with the normal and nightmare mode for a long time.

Diablo 3 launches, I play normal mode with all 5 characters first pass and I love it! Then I move onto nightmare mode, I quickly realize it’s a little tougher than nightmare mode in Diablo 2 but it’s still fun and think I’ll grow to like it. After taking out Leoric and moving onto the fields of misery it becomes apparent that the mini-bosses have crossed the line from challenging to just fricken ridiculous.

As you can see in the video I defeat them without dying, but instead of charging ahead with some challenge I have to fall back again and again to while firing on them. I don’t find this kind of game-play very fun at all, I’m supposed to be the !@# kicking hero of sanctuary; instead I’m the struggling hero who defeats my enemies by laughably beating them to death with my fly swatter while running for my life. It’s obvious my weapons and attacks do way too little damage.

Before anyone tells me I need to go to the auction house to buy better swag, or to build my character a special way, or play in a group setting understand I didn’t really need to do that in Diablo or Diablo 2. I don’t think I should have to go to the auction house to get good bling; I should be able to find that in the game like I always could before. I don’t think I should have to become character build expert to defeat nightmare mode, which was the original appeal to Diablo over other RPG games. I have a job and a lot of responsibilities, I don’t have time to obsess over my character build.

I love Diablo 3 normal mode. 10 years of anticipation and $320.00 buying a copy for me and each of my family, I kind of feel like I got robbed, it’s very disappointing.

The last two pages were... emotional. I haven't logged on in a year, and here, all this shit is going down. Awesome!

STORMY

*Sits down, eagerly awaits a reply about how the hell she's been!*

I cringe about most of the stuff I've posted, especially some of the personal stuff I've shared. I was about 15, 16 at the time I really got involved with Dfans. I didn't know how to conduct myself well on the internet. To an extent, I still don't know, but I'm getting better at it.

You'll always be welcome in my house man, just let me know when you get here

It happened! he came back! is the end times upon us?

The prophecy has been foretold that VegasRage would return! How've you been mate?

I'm pretty stoked. This will be the only school function I actually went to.

The super moon shot that Dad took. The original has more detail, but I reduced the size somewhat.
