Wow. Earned the badge already.
 
@RavenDreamer wootwoot!
 
@spugsley Considering I've managed to play a grand total of 40 minutes, it's all the more impressive!

Q: Are the creatures in the Never Seen That Before Achievement randomly throughout the world?

FoxtrotThere is a massive list of monsters to kill for this achievement. Are these rare monster spawns completely random in the world or are there set locations that I should look? If so, has anyone compiled a list? [Side note: I noticed this achievement when my buddy got it in Co-OP and I did not -...

Q: Do minions summoned by other enemies or bosses give XP?

Mr. NovemberEnemies such as The Tomb Guardian will summon skeletons during battle. Do these minions give XP when they are killed?

Q: Why can't I get Zombie Pigmen to spawn?

WilliamI have spent the last several days making a Zombie Pigman Grinder/Gold Farm. this is on Minecraft SMP, and so this took a while. Now it is built, and I cannot get any Zombie pigmen to spawn for the life of me. I have waited at the base/ collection area of the trap for 10 minutes - and none spawne...

Q: Where are screenshots stored on Mac OS X?

LessPop_MoreFizzI know how to take a screenshot. I Rebound the hotkey, and have been snapping away - or so I thought. I just went to look for my screenshots, and I can't find them. Not in Documents. Not in the Diablo 3 Application Folder, not in Pictures... Where does the Mac version of D3 store my screenshots?

Q: Can i still have a relationship with Liara in mass effect three having said no to her at the beginning of the game? ( I romanced her in mass effect 1)

user25386I romanced liara in mass effect 1. Also mass effect two however i romanced miranda as well. In mass effect three when liara asks if were still together in the beginning of the game and i say we should just be friends, will i have another chance to be in a relationship her later in the game?

Q: How close do you have to be to your party member(s) to heal them with a health orb?

FoxtrotI have seen this but it did not answer my question. While fingering through the achievement list, I noticed the Life is Beautiful achievement: Seeing as the description mentions that you can heal other players by picking up health orbs, How close does the party member(s) have to be to you to...

 
user15026
OH HOLY CRAP
 
user15026
3:11 AM
I have to make those!
 
@agent86 What, you mean SE's search sucks? :P
@AshleyNunn Looks like playdoh...
 
user15026
@RavenDreamer I think it is fondant.
 
user15026
Edible playdough!
 
I think the real way to do it would be to carve out the appropriate shapes into a zelda medallion cupcake mold pan.
Then food color as appropriate!
 
user15026
@RavenDreamer That would be lots of work
 
user15026
3:14 AM
but totally doable
 
And then, medalion cupcakes for life!
 
I just requested access to the TL. I hope that doesn't get me in trouble... :P
 
@John The what?
 
@RavenDreamer Ha. Haha.
You're a mod. I know you have to know this.
 
@John I had assumed, but since you abbreviated it, I wasn't sure that's what you were referring to.
 
3:16 AM
@RavenDreamer So you tried to maintain the illusion of secrecy? :P
Lemme guess, now you're going to go reject my request? :P
 
@John No, I asked for clarification of what your acronym was. And then you gave it. shrug
 
@RavenDreamer sigh You always have to take the fun out of my conspiracy theories...
 
FAE
@AshleyNunn Those are amazing
 
user15026
@RavenDreamer That looks like something that was in my linguistics textbook. Cept we had to read it then put it in IPA
 
3:19 AM
@FAE We could've played ALL the Catan.
 
user15026
@FAE I know, right?
 
FAE
@Fluttershy HUSH YOU
 
=_=;;
 
...And lost connection to Bnet. Again.
 
3:21 AM
@Fluttershy you have 3 parts of a circle where your nose should be.
 
FAE
@Fluttershy STOP MAKING CUTE FACES I CAN'T RESIST
 
user15026
@Fluttershy Oh that face, you cant say no to that face
 
@Fluttershy I threw up a little. Your cuteness doesn't affect me.
 
user15026
@spugsley DO YOU HAVE A HEART OF STONE?
 
@spugsley spugly plz
 
3:23 AM
@AshleyNunn I do indeed
 
FAE
@Fluttershy lmao
 
user15026
@spugsley sigh well it is good to be aware of these things
 
The cow says "moo". The pig says "oink". The Battle.net login servers say nothing.
 
user15026
@Brant Are they mute? SOMEONE CUT OUT THEIR TONGUES?
 
3:26 AM
@Fluttershy haha, jokes on you cause it won't load
 
@AshleyNunn Nope. Somebody firebombed their server room.
So we won't be able to play for MONTHS.
 
I think a Cougar got in and ate all the server hamsters.
 
Jin
is battlenet down?
 
@Jin Nope, I'm just here because I LIKE talking to you guys.
:P
 
Jin
i really wanted to know. i got kicked off and now i can't get back in
 
3:29 AM
I just got kicked out too.
Looks like the servers melted.
Oh well, I guess I'll just play offline.
 
@Brant Oh wait, we CAN'T. :P
 
Jin
@Brant me too! oh wait...
 
Can't play? Watch the Diablo 3 Livestream!
 
Oh hai, @Jin! You're here too!
 
Jin
has anyone gotten anything that's better than Rare?
 
3:30 AM
Anyways, I stayed up late to grab the game yesterday, so I guess I'm going to bed early tonight.
 
Jin
oh well, i guess i won't be hitting 30 tonight..
 
I'm wondering if anybody here has actually been able to get connected.

Q: Where are the 15 fallen members of New Tristram's militia?

Raven DreamerWhen you're wandering around in New Tristram, one of the villagers will occasionally tell you: "Sixteen militia men went out, only Rumsford came back". In addition to this, you will find corpses of the "Tristram Militia" scattered amongst the undead. Since they're all in non-random areas, I'm cur...

Q: How do you change the difficulty level in Diablo 3?

MonteCristoI know that there are four difficulty levels in Diablo 3 as follows: Normal Nightmare Hell Inferno Can the difficulty level be changed manually or does it automatically increase on subsequent play-throughs (i.e. moving from normal to nightmare, nightmare to hell) as in Diablo 2?

0
Q: Do stash size increments carry to new characters?

Pat LudwigJust started playing, the 10k to increase my stash size appears very costly right now. Does that increase then work for all characters on my account or will I need to spend the 10k+ for each character that wishes a larger stash?

 
Really, you would think that after the disaster that was BNet on D2 launch day, Blizzard would have this crap figured out by now.
 
Jin
getting error 3003 'n 37 right here..
 
3:33 AM
@Jin if you get a lot of friend requests in Diablo 3, it's because someone replaced my battletag with yours in the google doc in the starred list.
 
Same here
with the errors. lol
i haven't edited the google doc
 
@RESPAWN Oh, they've figured out the solution all right. They just are vociferously opposed to implementing it. (Re: Offline play)
 
Yeah Bnet just went down for me too.
 
Jin
@RavenDreamer i blame @oak
 
THink I'mma go watch Clifford.
 
3:34 AM
...the big red dog?
 
@RavenDreamer Haha. Well, I hear the theory is that they won't implement offline play because of the auction house.
But yeah. It's just dumb
 
Jin
@RavenDreamer why didn't you change it?
 
I'm glad I came home tonight to play this game instead of meeting friends for drinks. </sarcasm>
 
@Jin because I don't know my own number, haha
 
Jin
@RESPAWN i thought it was more of an aniti-hacking measure
 
3:35 AM
The party line was because they didn't want people to be discouraged from playing online because they'd have to start new characters (the assumption being that most people would make Single Player, offline chars first)
 
Jin
D2 online play was ruined by cheaters
 
@Jin Both, really. If they're going to allow people to sell items online in the auction house, then they've got to find a way to prevent cheaters.
 
@RESPAWN Same principle as Diablo II. Offline characters don't get to go online, and that'd include the AH.
 
Of course that leads to the point that forcing everyone to play online rather substantially increases the number of people who can use the RMT auction house.
 
@RavenDreamer Oh. I agree, raven
 
Jin
3:36 AM
damn my coworker hit 30
 
Also blah blah piracy whateevertheheck
 
Jin
and he's not even asian
 
oooh! Error 75. That's a new one
 
You are failing your heritage, Jin!
 
FAE
@Jin I loled
 
3:36 AM
 
Jin
@RavenDreamer ummerica has corrupted me
 
'Murka.
 
Any word from Blizzard on when bnet/D3 will be back up this time?
 
Jin
so in multiple player mode, are drops considerably better?
 
I wouldn't say considerably, but to be honest I haven't really paid any attention.
Everyone's MF gets pooled and applied to the whole party, right?
 
Jin
3:39 AM
i assume at higher difficulty level, the drops are better right? it was that way with d1 and d2
 
@Jin Only if your friends have higher average % magic find than you
@Brant Yup
 
@Jin In the sense that the the monsters are higher level, yeah.
 
aaaannnnnnd we're down
 
Nightmare Act 1 picks up right where Normal Act 4 leaves off
 
surprise surprise
 
3:40 AM
Why would they clear your password field when their servers are the ones not responding? That's just annoying. It's not like my password changed or I failed authentication.
 
> Answer a diablo-3 question within 5 minutes of it being asked
 
Jin
damn looks like i'll be ordering a lot of shirts for the diablo3 contest
 
Does this mean your post has to eventually be marked as accepted, or just that you have to post?
 
@skovacs1 I was just screaming the same thing at my computer.
 
Jin
btw, kimchi burps are the worst.
 
3:41 AM
@Brant just post
 
@Brant Won't happen for me. Far too many people are scrambling for this contest for me to stand a chance. Plus, I'd have to know the answer which is just as much of a gamble. And I don't post answers unless I believe them to be correct.
 
1/3 of the way to Act IV!
 
glances at length of post, clicks upvote, starts reading
 
Jin
what's the most massacre kills you guys got?
i got 40 with my DH today
is there a site that lists all the known d3 items? kinda like wowhead
 
3:44 AM
Actually, the official site.
 
@Jin I had 56 with my Monk a little while ago.
 
It's okay, Blizzard. I didn't want to play your stupid game anyway!
5
 
If someone gets in you have to promise to alt-tab out and tell us lazy people we can play again.
 
Anyone up for a game that we can play? Maybe Catan?
 
@skovacs1 The pictures were perfect.
 
3:49 AM
@OrigamiRobot Cool. I was thinking of making an animated gif of the sequence actually.
 
@skovacs1 I wish gravatars could be gifs
 
@OrigamiRobot My thoughts exactly
 
I love Conversation Parade.
 
@LessPopMoreFizz shake fist. Again we battle for dominance.
 
@OrigamiRobot ???
 
3:51 AM
@Jin Found this, too: D3DB. Wowhead's sister site.
 
Jin
@Brant good find, thanks!
 
@OrigamiRobot They're okay, I guess.
 
user15026
@OrigamiRobot They're shiny.
 
3:53 AM
@RavenDreamer Where did you find that info about level ranges, anyway?
 
@OrigamiRobot I'm glad you had that handy. =P
 
@Brant looking at item levels on the blacksmiths recipes
 
BATTERY LOW. SHUT DOWN.
 
items with level requirements >30 give the Nightmare mats
 
We're aware players may not be able to connect to the Americas region, or are having difficulty stay in-game. We are investigating.
Well, at least they're aware.
 
3:55 AM
Incidentally, "The current connection issues for #D3 are being looked into. We hope to have the issue resolved quickly. Stay tuned." 30 minutes ago and "we hope only minutes. Obviously we want people playing and enjoying themselves." 24 minutes ago and "if I had such an estimate I would be happy to give it. Right now I only know that it is being looked into." 20 minutes ago on the @BlizzardCS twitter feed
 
FAE
seeing as everyone keeps yelling at me to do so I am now going to go to sleep, goodnight Bridge
 
@FAE G'night! <3
 
@Brant "We're sorry we made this game so badass we can't handle the appeal."
@Fluttershy I would say @FAE is a bit more than 3, but I'm rounding up.
 
Wow, did D3 even take down WoW???
 
user15026
@FAE Good night! :D
 
3:59 AM
You can't play the game without an internet connection? Wait, is Diablo III an MMO?
 
@GnomeSlice Nope, just has really extensive DRM.
 
@Ullallulloo Wow, that's dumb... I hate stuff that does that.
 
@skovacs1 Lies
 
@FAE Sleeeeeeeeep!
 
4:02 AM
@GnomeSlice Effectively, yes. There's no single player mode, it's all online.
 
1
Q: What level is recommended before starting Nightmare/Hell/Inferno?

StephenIn Diablo 2 it was very possible to speed run through the acts and end up on a harder difficulty with a lower than anticipated level. It seems that this might be possible in Diablo 3 as well. What are the recommended level ranges before progressing to the next difficulty?

2
Q: How do experience bonuses work in co-op?

Raven DreamerI know of bonuses you can earn in Diablo 3 such as Massacre. It's very simple in single-player, because you're the only one doing any killing. But what happens in co-op? Do all players contribute towards the same experience bonuses? I.e, if I destroy 5 barrels while my co-op buddy destroys 3 b...

Q: What is the most productive use of early game gold?

Pat LudwigMy first character, my first 10k of gold. What should I be doing with it? Bigger stash Level up the blacksmith Gamble Purchase key items when available Save for later Something I haven't seen yet This was partially answered on my previous question but I'd like to put all the choices I see ou...

Q: Is there any easy way to find a quest destination ?

RobotsushiThe map doesn't always help me find my destination and I sometimes end up wandering. Is there something I'm missing ?

Q: What is Error 37?

RobotsushiI keep seeing people talking about this error. There are even some memes already talking about "Error 37" What is it and where does it come from ?

0
Q: What are the differences between the difficulty levels in Diablo 3?

Mr. NovemberIs it just more powerful minions and bosses or is there something more? Are there unique monsters in higher difficulty levels?

 
@Brant ... you can't play it by yourself?
 
@GnomeSlice It's also to help stop people from hacking their game to give them better items since it has multiplayer too.
 
@Lazers Do we want a question for each and every Diablo 3 error code?
 
I hate shit that does that too...
 
4:03 AM
The DRM on Diablo 3 is the same as on Starcraft 2
This isnt something new and out of the blue
 
@GnomeSlice Well, you can play in a private game by yourself, but it's still happening on Blizzard's servers.
 
@James That means nothing to me.
 
@GnomeSlice So you are complaining about something that means nothing to ya? :)
 
Remember how D2 had "single player" characters and "battle.net" characters? In D3 the single player option is gone.
 
@James What? No, that's not what I said, I said I know nothing of StarCraft II's DRM.
@Brant No, never played it.
 
4:06 AM
@Ullallulloo I think the real reason for the DRM is the auction house.
 
Jin
"ONE JOB JON. YOU HAD ONE JOB."
3
 
@James It does? I thought that was just when you opened it.
 
@Jin Rofl
 
Jin
 
@Ullallulloo Nope, its every time you loaded the game. I think they still ran locally which I do not think D3 does at all, but they did require log in
 
4:08 AM
 
@Jin Let's see you release a game to millions of people around the globe at the same time and not fuck anything up...
 
@Jin I don't know what that means.
 
@GnomeSlice Challenge Accepted.
 
4:09 AM
@Jin I do know what that means.
 
Jin
well, i should do something more productive now since diablo3 is down
i should go ahead order 10000000 diablo3 contest shirts
 
user15026
@Jin That sounds about the right number.
 
Well, Blizzard certainly is delivering a hellish experience like they said they would
 
You guys are just getting too worked up about it.
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice A major release that is having, well, major issues? I don't even -play- and I find that annoying.
 
4:13 AM
@Brant ಠ_ರೃ
I'd be amused were I not just browsing /r/diablo
 
(yes, I steal all my jokes from reddit)
 
You guys didn't seriously expect something that required that much online authentication would actually work for everyone all at once, did you?
 
@GnomeSlice Hey, now. Don't hate on optimism!
 
@James It was when I said it. It apparently went back down since. Should've screenshot it
 
it comes and goes
 
4:16 AM
@skovacs1 hehe, the webbie loads now that you linked, that didnt before
 
@Jin blizard pls
 
But I can not log in at all
 
Jin
 
@GnomeSlice @spugsley isn't online.
 
@Jin Does that mean you can't play?
 
Jin
4:18 AM
@GnomeSlice server's down
 
to reflect similar connection issues?
( 37, 3003, etc)
 
@RavenDreamer @LessPopMoreFizz etc.
 
there should be an award for flagging dupes
 
17 mins ago, by OrigamiRobot
@Lazers Do we want a question for each and every Diablo 3 error code?
 
4:21 AM
@OrigamiRobot No, we do not.
 
Dibs on 3003!
 
@Brant don't we already have a question handling experience while in a group?
 
@RavenDreamer There is one about followers.
 
@RavenDreamer You mean yours? Isn't it just asking about the combo bonuses?
 
@Brant No. @OrigamiRobot Hm. Maybe.

Q: Do I ever get xp for my party member's kills?

jznI've heard xp "Is not split" in D3 parties, but to whom is it given? If there are a dozen monsters on the screen worth 100xp each, and my partner kills them all with some nuke (while I idly watch) do we each get 1200xp? If so, and he kills the same batch of monsters while I am very far away, do...

 
I am too lazy to look at those dupes.
 
@OrigamiRobot I hope not. That would be aloooottttt of questions
 
If they have an error 300008, does that mean that there are more than 300,000 things that can go wrong with D3?
 
@skovacs1 I believe the characters problem refer to things, not the actual integer value.
ie., 300000XXX are all similar error types
 
4:23 AM
I think that was sarcasm
 
@NickT It was.
 
Oh. Yeah, that's a dupe then.
Actually, hold on...
That's still not really the same question.
 
anyone know how long the servers will be down for? Next time I'm going to just stay logged in....

Q: Are there differences in loot quality between the different Lost Eternia Shards levels on survival?

jody_bulldozerIf there is a difference, does the quality increase in the order they fall in the story?

 
Jin
@RavenDreamer did you say 12:20 or 11:20 for lunch?
 
4:24 AM
What's an Error 3003?
 
I almost started answering that as a Diablo question
@Jin 12:20
 
blizzard is trolling the hell out of me lol
 
Jin
@RavenDreamer tripps?
 
OH MY GOD, WE'RE BOTH LATE FOR LUNCH!
@Jin Yeah
 
Error 3003 is a sign in that year of 3003 Blizzard will construct a real Diablo and take over the Earth. THE PROPHECY!
 
4:26 AM
so does party size not affect what minions spawn?
 
Isn't this basically a "will my comp run this better?" question?
 
@OrigamiRobot Should @Fluttershy post a question asking about 3003? lololol
 
@NickT Not as far as I know.
 
@Fluttershy Blizzard's asleep.
 
@RavenDreamer glorified CYRI question
 
4:26 AM
@skovacs1 Thanks. =D
 
@NickT I do not know that acronym.
 
it's even more narrow because it's just comparing two distinct setups
 
@RavenDreamer Your comment partially answered my question, and the linked question answered the other part. It's not really an exact duplicate.
 
can you run it
 
@RavenDreamer CanYouRunIt
 
4:27 AM
1 min ago, by Raven Dreamer
Isn't this basically a "will my comp run this better?" question?
@Brant Well, you specify the same number of monsters in the same number of time.
 
yes; that was concordance
oh look, it's the tag on that too
winning
 
@Fluttershy As far as I know, it seems to mean that their servers didn't respond to your queries, meaning they can't be reached in this case because they are undergoing "emergency maintenance" (again).
 
@Foxtrot Probably at this rate.
 
1
Q: Are there differences in loot quality between the different Lost Eternia Shards levels on survival?

jody_bulldozerIf there is a difference, does the quality increase in the order they fall in the story?

 
@skovacs1 I find it funny that their WoW servers can handle a huge load, but this superior game cannot. Granted, they've had... 8 years? 9? To perfect WoW's servers.
 
4:30 AM
@Fluttershy apples and oranges
 
@RavenDreamer I can compare them. Both fruit. Both delicious.
easy man
 
@OrigamiRobot /facepalm lol I just figured an error directory would suffice. but then again shouldn't us.battle.net/support/en be a better start?
 
@RavenDreamer I expanded the question a bit. I'm mainly interested in the difference between solo and groups, not who in a group gets kills.
 
@NickT I really don't like that tag. It's not like there is an amalgamated body of knowledge for all forms of "lag" that can ever be. I have yet to know a "lag" expert, knowledgeable of all forms of lag in all applications. Sometimes it's networking. sometimes it's the software itself, and sometimes it's specific to the client (ie. hardware, resource usage, etc.)
 
Which you sort of covered in your comment, which probably ought to be an answer. :)
 
4:33 AM

Q: Frag the "lag" tag

Nick TThe lag tag (on 30 questions) seems awful. In common parlance "lag" is a catch-all term for poor performance; attributable to myriad things. Many of the questions it's on have a network bent, but several seem to be just about a local slowdown (graphics card/CPU overload, slow input) (Right now...

@badp @RavenDreamer waiting for someone to take action or w/e on that
 
We can't take action on it any more than you can.
 
@NickT I upvoted that. I think we were talking about it when you posted that meta actually.
 
@RavenDreamer I can't rename tags or create synonyms
@RavenDreamer I could simply "remove" it by editing all the questions
 
I thought that's what you wanted
 
I can do step 5, you need to do 1-4
 
4:37 AM
http://us.battle.net/d3/en/ is intermittently back up. Their twitter feed linked to http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/5149005198#1 which says,

"We are in the process of performing an emergency maintenance for Diablo III servers in the Americas to resolve several issues that are currently impacting the game. We so not have an ETA of when services will be restored at this time. We will provide further updates as necessary.

Thank you for your patience."

I don't think this is a duplicate anymore.
 
@skovacs1 Does this mean I should sleep now? ( for max efficiency )
 
@NickT Say what? I'll have to restart from the beginning?
@Foxtrot I liked 3
 
4:39 AM
@Foxtrot no u r stoopid
 
@Foxtrot Y would the presendt be on da internet! there no internet in canada!
 
@Foxtrot Max efficiency would be to do something else. It could be sleep. It could be playing Settlers of Catan.
I miss 37. At least with that one, I knew I was connecting to something.
 
@RavenDreamer can I vote to remove a synonym?
 
I have no idea.
Interesting Discovery: New Bounties or Answers on Old Diablo-3 questions appear to count for the contest.
 
@RavenDreamer Can I speak to a manager?
 
4:46 AM
Er. Maybe? What's the question?
 
@RavenDreamer That was the question :P
 
Then I stand by my answer.
@wipqozn shades
 
lol
D3 is still down and Im getting lost on imgur. ( first world problems? )
 
So Um
Ya know
I am able to log in to the Eu servers :D

vertical bar near resource orb

Not to bad :)
 
ping is not everything
mine is 176 but I still get problems
more than I did on NA server with 450 ping
 
Well I waited all day to play

Q: How long does dropped loot last?

Raven DreamerWhen I'm running through Sanctuary killing the forces of Hell, sometimes I find myself in so much of a hurry that I fail to pickup a particular item or bundle of dropped coins.

Q: How are attributes allocated?

Mr. NovemberWhenever a player levels up, they are granted points in 4 attributes: Dexterity, Strength, Intelligence, and Vitality. Are these stat allocations based on anything the player does or are they set for each level dependent on class?

 
It's thundering a lot over here... I'm afraid that if I log on ang get in the power will suddenly cut off.
 
Americas region service update at: http://bit.ly/KeoqdB Service expected to return by 11:45 p.m. PDT as we work to resolve these issues.
 
Any information released on the specifics to why its down exactly?
