Slow Progress

Please excuse some slow progress on fixing bugs for the beta release.

I have been a little unwell this week, and also lost a couple of evenings playing the new Diablo III expansion.

I hope to have a new beta out soon

  1. Dont worry if you take it slow, you dont owe us anything and we are happy just knowing you didnt drop the game.

  2. Have fun with Diablo 3. You deserve a break. May the legendarys always drop in your favour.

    1. Legendaries drop a lot more frequently in the new expansion! In my previous 3 play thoughs with the original version I found 1 legendary. In the new I have found about 10

  4. Stop playing other games and fix this one!

    Kidding, kidding. You're allowed downtime just like we are. ;)

  5. Hey, appreciate what you're doing. I am going to second the motion here and tell you to take it easy and keep up the good work.

  6. Is it any good? I've been thinking about picking it up myself. Love the game. Please take your time, haste makes waste after all.

    1. Yes, it changes a lot of balance issues and streamlines other areas. Above all adds a new class and a new Act to platy though.

      I think it was well worth the cost, but check the reviews of other players by all means

    1. I do have chronic health issues that affect my quiality ob life. I am in treatment but not well controlled, but that is my own stupid fault

    2. That sucks. I hope you can do something to improve your situation. Just remember, there's nothing shameful in getting help.

  8. So far, I've found that the most annoying thing is farming sets... This link has helped though (if you haven't already found it): http://www.diablofans.com/forums/diablo-iii-general-forums/diablo-iii-general-discussion/83094-guide-legendary-crafting-materials-drop-locations

  9. CMac,

    Good to see that you're taking some time off to relax and blow stuff up real good. :-D Myself, I still play Half-Life/Opposing Force/Blue Shift on a regular basis. They may date back to '99 or therebouts, but they can still make Me jump out of My chair once in a while. :-)

    1. Yeah I still play occasionally the Masters of Orion games (1 & 2 did nit like 3) and they are of a similar vintage.

      I had played the previous Diablo games, though in some ways I found Diablo III a little lacking, but the expansion fixed quite a few issues, but the new act was ok nothing particularly special, sort of more of the same

    2. I'm a WoW player myself, so I know what it's like to be addited to a Blizzard game.

      I play a whole lot of other games but I've been a dedicated WoW player for nearly 10 years. It and a number of other games are why I'm such a procrastinator, especially on working on that FAQ.....

    3. Damn, you like Master of Orion! Now I certainly love you! :D

    4. Once I heard that D3 was online-only, that sealed it for me to never play it. D2 had the balance just right - in that you could play and complete it on Single Player, but you could still play online too, if one wanted. D3's online only things sucked enormously. Game may be good, but the decision by Blizz sucked big time.
      I used to play WoW, until well, PANDAS. Did Blizz get boght by Dreamworks or something?

      Delete
    5. The Pandaren are probably one of the most awesome races in the game. Personally, I think the thing which really caused WoW to lose ground was the Cataclysm expac. That was probably the worst thing that happened to WoW. Mysts of Pandaria actually did a lot of things right.

      Plus they were probably one of the most requested things since vanilla but Blizz put them off for a REALLY long time, especially since it was a fine line to walk along with China wanting to lay down some laws about banning all fictional works which portray any violence to pandas, seeing as how their national animal is going extinct.

      Big deal, right? Why should we care about China, right? Well, they're neighbors to Korea, and Korea's gaming market is all about MMO games. It would've been a bad idea had those laws actually gone through.

  10. Same Problem for me. Curse you Blizzard.

  12. D54321 - I would really like to enjoy your game, even a previous version. I've played the web one at http://www.funny-games.biz/slave-maker.html. I can tell you have put a lot of work into it. But every DL link on your page either leads to a bad link (the direct DL ones), or an auto loader that loads +4 other programs in addition to Slave Maker, AND hijacks my browser! I don't need weatherbug and a computer 'optimizer' and another firewall to run Slave Maker. At least I hope I don't!

    Have you considered selling it directly? Bypass these PUP installers (definition of - http://www.pcmag.com/encyclopedia/term/55704/pup)? E-bay and maybe even Amazon would happily help you sell your game.

    1. He does this free (although donations welcome). Usually you can find links for the torrent of the full version but there hasn't been a full release in some time.

    2. Anon 1,

      Who, or what, is D54321? And what link are you following?

      The best way to avoid the problems with SM that you're talking about is to get it from one of the approved links. I've seen several versions of SM3 on other sites that don't even contain full copies of the game.

      I just looked at the site that you posted the link for. That appears to be SM2. You might want to think about getting up to speed with SM3.4.

      Anon 2,

      Who exactly is accepting donations? CMac DOES NOT accept renumeration for his work in any way, shape or form.

    3. Oh crap you're right, I was thinking of a different one.

    4. D54321 - This is just my ID that I set up when trying to get this game from the Funtari forum.

      And I've been trying the links on the "•Latest Game Release" from this very site. The torrent one your talking about is demanding to install "DriverSupport", "Hyper Brows", "Saving Wizard Software", "World Wide Web Research", and "Free Soft Today".
      -At least Torrent is asking for authorization to install these things. Unlike the version I tried to get from the other DL options. Which is what my original critique is about.

    5. D54321,
      You should change the reply as drop down box to user/url and enter your chosen in the name, this will clear up some confusion.

      Your issue is you are clicking on an ad and not the download. I looked at the first link, the one to "Exoshare" and there is an add at the top of the real downloads that looks like an actual download. Pick a mirror Rapid share or lower on the list and you will be fine, or just click the rapid share link on the download page.

      I would suggest in the future you pay attention to what hyper links are actually linking to before you click on them, or you are going to get a lot of viruses. Also, welcome to the internet.

    6. :). I've been trying the Rapid share 96 percent of the time I get a "Traffic Limit Error". Even after I made an account. I've only got the BasicPack.rar file so far.

      Delete
    7. An update - Took a long time to get the files from Rapid share, and had to install a new file decompresser, but it seems to be working now. Thanks for the help.
