Because it’s prime time US playing time. When better to bring the servers down?
Oh heck no, they’re a custom plastic shell around a standard cheap 2-factor authenticator.
Check your PC’s time is correct.

Is there some way to make the Templar shut up and never talk again? Everything he says is repetitive nonsense.

Yeah he keeps kissing my ass. “You’re so cool.” “I love how strong you are.” “Have you ever seen a naked Templar?”
Not sure what the PC time thing is for, but i got it fixed.
Had to call up blizzard Customer support, do the typical hour wait. Apparently they needed to resync it or something and the CS rep said it wasn’t an uncommon thing. I think you can manually do it with the mobile app, but the physical authenticator doesn’t have said option to my knowledge
At the very least wow was the first game to popularize the whole authenticator craze.
Oh and yes, the templar is REALLY annoying.

The point of the time is that once you link your particular authenticator to your account they essentially do one thing.
Your version counts down each time it creates a number. They both are doing the counting. They are both creating a number. When they count down to 30, a new number is created.
The server is using the same seed as your key. Nobody else has the same seed, thus nobody else has the same number.
So if your system clock is off, the numbers will not match. The time you linked your account to the authenticator is the time at which they will begin the process of creating numbers. See?

The point I was making is that they didn’t remove the offline because the game would not have been made otherwise , or that it would be lower quality without this form of DRM. I don’t really care (or won’t once they iron out the issues) either way about the DRM, but let’s not pretend that they did us a favor and that the game is better because they added an MMO logging process to a single player game, which is how some people are portraying this whole issue.
Take the Scoundrel instead?
I don’t find his voice as annoying.

Yeah at least the scoundrel is amusing.
He is far less useful, though. The templar offers always-on health regen and a bit of burst healing when you need it. The enchantress can charm an enemy occasionally, confuse a bunch of them, and gives a 15% static armor buff (which is huge and very useful).
The scoundrel offers a nice 10% damage buff, but keep in mind that 10% damage is the same as adding 10 of your primary stat (str/dex/int depending on class). Yeah, just 10. And it only has a maximum 50% uptime, so think of that as basically 5 strength.

Yeah, I’m keeping the Templar through my first run through, annoying as he is.
Stupid starter edition. Stupid BleedtheFreak. Buying this for $60 is insane. I have plenty of games. Little time. Torchlight 2 Beta. And $60!!! I have not paid full price for a game in forever. And yet…
Played the starter edition with a Barbarian to Level 9, beat the skeleton king and bought the fucking thing.
Now, it cut me off and asked me to upgrade and did not send me back to town or give me any further instruction. I did so and had to logout for it to take effect. When I come back, I assume I need to change quests and select the second step in Act I, is that correct? I assume it isn’t going to allow me to skip over anything that may have happened after you kill the Skeleton King.
If I were the Templar I’d be hitting on my monk nonstop as well. Just saying.
I just hope that someone else has read the flavor text for the dye remover. I also find it amusing that my wizard is dressed in rares I’ve found, and they all happen to be pink. She looks like the world’s girliest assassin.
This game is the best.

If you have the scoundrel and enchantress together at the beginning of Act II, he hits on her nonstop, but she doesn’t get it and/or plays dumb. It’s sort of funny.

I’m so not looking forward to the packs of elites in Inferno.

Woke up before the gf to give D3 another shot and rolled a barbarian. There was a sweet vampire sword of the eel in New Tristram that has been amazing. Having more fun with my barb then with the monk.
Of course 10 mins later I get a system message that the server is restarting for an update. I think that maybe it’s just this one server so I try to hop out and log into another (wild shot I know). Now I’m stuck in “Entering Queue…” :/
Guess that’s it for my Diablo play time.
There was a short maintenance scheduled for 5 - 5:30 AM PDT Saturday morning. I agree it does suck.
Just got into Act III with my WD, and I love the set piece (is it a set piece or is it just nonstop frenetic action?) of the keep being attacked. It’s so fun!
