Acts 1-3 actually, I believe you need to complete those before you can do Act 4. The mount quest is in Act 4 as well apparently.

Reviews seem to suggest that Necromancer is much better compared to the previous open beta. But they are a more advance class to play because some of their best builds require very specific gear.

I signed into Battle.net on my PC, it wants an authenticator code. Fine, I load up Authenticator on my iphone. It says it is now replaced with the Battle.Net app. I install that. Now it wants me to sign into the Battle.Net app, which I do, but it wants me to put in an Authenticator code FROM ITSELF.

What the hell and I supposed to do here?

Edit: Nevermind, thank god for SMS. What's the point of auth if you can get past it with SMS. Da gently caress lmao

Necro seems good, I am going to go Bone Spear/Corpse Tendril/Corpse Explode for launch. Minion based builds may still be iffy.

I think a lot of people were super down on necro in the server slam because of the nerf to skeletons but there looks to be some pretty crazy synergies for minion builds with the right legendary aspects and glyphs tbh, Kripparrian has a necro build guide that looks very strong on paper

if you want fastest possible character then that's rogue for you, probably, but fun is more important than fast to me at least

while this is true to some extent it's not as gear dependent as druid and barb apparently, druid can go from barely scraping by and being miserable to annihilating everything with a single legendary aspect that - importantly - is drop only afaik

It looks like there's a process to remove your authenticator if you click Can't Log In? in the bnet login page. Ive never tried it before though. God speed goon.

I had to use an authenticator code from the old app. It was a weird convoluted process. But yeah SMS is how I prefer to handle this stuff instead of having yet another app on my phone that I will use maybe once a month.

Once you get logged in you should save the restore code and serial somewhere, I just emailed it to myself, that let me restore my authenticator to the new app.

I just ordered my two chicken sandwiches and drove to pick them up. When it was my turn to drive up to the window I said "Two orders for [name]" to which the employee raised her eyebrow but went and got my orders. She said "we had to make one of them again because we weren't sure if it was a mistake ordering two under the same name". I chuckled at her confusion and explained in great length that diablo fans will be all ordering multiple sandwiches separately because that is how we will claim our sweet sweet game rewards. She kept looking at the line behind me and fidgeting around like it wasn't important. She didn't seem to know what diablo even is.

So whatcha all playing for your class? I think I'm going Sorc because it seems to be the most straightforward. Rhykker said Rogue had the highest skill needed so it was out. Was thinking about doing necro but really I do like Wiz characters.....

Sorc to start although it feels pretty weak compared to the hydra, chain lightning, and icy blades builds we had in the open betas.

Sorc to finish the campaign, farm a bit, then get powerleveled on a Druid so I can skip all the bad parts of playing Druid.

Probably also doing druid despite finding it pretty meh in the beta, lol. I just like the way the class looks and the transformations happening on command instead of switching in and out of wolf mode or whatever manually is actually a pretty neat way to do it.

If we have to go here, you're going to always have issues with harassment in the workplace. The question is how you respond to them and what you are doing to prevent them. They weren't doing much to prevent them, and their response was inadequate. Once MS takes over, Kotick will be gone and we can move on from this ugly situation hopefully.

Was hoping for a lucky guess. :P Kinda the same thing that happened at the university I attended. They ended up being investigated by the federal government for having an outrageously high number of reported sexual assaults. Significantly more than any other college campus in the country.

Completely true. It feels like though that pretty much no company responds correctly, even though the bar is really low.

I bought the fob about a month after the D3 release when stories were going around about people losing their accounts to hackers. That little thing is still on the same battery and I've managed to never lose it. It's going to die on me one of these days and I'm not looking forward to it.

For me (because I couldn't remember my password) it was a real treat, until I realized I could click past the notification on the old authenticator to get the code I needed to authenticate myself for the password reset.

Then I remembered my password and didn't need to reset it anyway.

Future of the franchise
No one answered in the last thread when I asked this. Are there any builds/classes I should lean towards where you can just click anywhere and AOE just kills everything without having to actually click on an enemy? Better yet, the damage is basically just auto and you dont really have to click much at all. PoE had a few builds like this.
