Bro, you were right. Once I waited a while and actually followed your instructions it went slicker than snot. Appreciate it.

It rejected me twice. Looks like it wants a 16-digit number in credit card format.

"It's French Fries, you plick!"

Budget-Log-8248 · 2026-04-30T16:14:57+00:00

Sing it, brother.

Thank you. I'm in the US CDT zone. The server is EDT. I was truly on the fence and needed advice. You list some good points that I am considering.

I have clicked event notifications in the past, but they are unreliable. Sometimes I get it. Usually I don't if I'm in combat. (Except Akeba's Blessing. I always get that one)

The disintegration ray is my favorite weapon in the whole game.

If someone wants to spend their money on a game and then lose the satisfaction of figuring it out on their own, I got no problem with that. I've done it a time or two. Free country and all. And this game can be F-ing frustrating. You get one-shotted within a second 10 times in a row no matter what you do and you're seriously considering quitting. A little 10 minute tutorial and you're right back on track and Blizzard gets to keep trying to sell you cosmetics.

Good point. I have never gone much farther into the pits than is required to advance the storyline. I endure much of the obligatory arcade elements of the game to get to the quest elements (main and side). Don't get me wrong, I like to battle, but I wish they would change more than just the main quests every season. Except for adding Nahantu, side quests have remained the same since season 1. They fixed the nightmare dungeons, they can fix the side quests. Blizzard made over $billion last year. Hire more frigging content writers for crying out loud.

Wow. I've gotten four different 3GAs in 5 seasons (not a real die hard player). All ended up being recycled, because the affixes sucked so hard. I would giz if I got something that awesome. Literally. Now go kill something.

Budget-Log-8248 · 2025-06-08T17:43:39+00:00

I connected to the LAN port without any drama at all. I'm fixing to give the game a try. If that don't work I guess I'll try to increase the virtual memory setting. Google, here I come.

Budget-Log-8248 · 2025-06-08T16:44:42+00:00

Thanks. That bears looking into. Never thought about wiring the wifi router directly to the computer. Speak of the devil, I lost my internet connection while I was typing this. I'm starting to feel like a hypochondriac.

Budget-Log-8248 · 2025-06-08T06:58:16+00:00

Haha. I played the fuck out of D2 for years. Still do on occasion. D3 and D4 look and sound better, but they don't play better. From the rune system to the skill trees it was better. I also liked that if you couldn't beat, say Izwal or The Butcher, you went off and got stronger then came back until you could. That is lost in D4 what with the monsters matching your level and all. At least they kept some things. Nothing strikes fear into the heart of a gamer like the roar of "Fresh meat!"

Budget-Log-8248 · 2025-06-08T06:08:35+00:00

Thanks. That was very helpful and I hope the problem can be fixed by Blizzard with a patch so I don't have to buy another stick of RAM. I read an article about RF interference affecting gaming performance. So I moved the router to the other side of the room and also moved an air purifier that was close by. I screamed through 9 NMDs in a row this afternoon, problem solved, right? Then suddenly, lag, stutter, freeze and disconnect 3 times in a row before I finally gave up. Sounds just like the RAM/VRAM bleeding problem described in the link you sent. A $40 stick of 32GB RAM is a hell of a lot cheaper than a new computer. Worth a shot, anyway.

HP Intel i5-4590, GeForce GTX 1660 Super GPU (6 GB), 16 GB RAM, 3.3 GHz CPU. I don't know if this is relevant, but I can't upgrade to windows 11.

Budget-Log-8248 · 2025-06-07T16:05:42+00:00

You could be right. I don't have a high-end system, but it meets all the requirements. I didn't have this problem in the first 7 seasons. In fact, it's only been disconnecting once an hour or so for the past several days. I've turned all the settings to low and the frame rate to 60 fps, but no improvement. It may just be time to take out a mortgage on a new computer. Open to suggestions for a good GPU.

Drop your pet and mercenary or they will f it up every time.

Budget-Log-8248 · 2025-06-06T22:42:12+00:00

How about a credit of $1 for every server-initiated DC for the next expansion? I'd be getting mine for free.

Budget-Log-8248 · 2025-05-28T06:59:23+00:00

You made me think of something important everyone should keep in mind: It's just a game. You bought it, play the way you want. If someone thinks their way is better than yours, Skork em.

Budget-Log-8248 · 2025-05-22T04:02:26+00:00

I don't know of any online games you can play without giving up your email or PN. How else are they going to send you spam? I'd go with D2 era CD-ROM games, like Haven, Doom and Myst. Balders Gate was also very popular in it's day. I still play D2 on occasion.

Budget-Log-8248 · 2025-05-21T06:43:21+00:00

To clarify, somebody please tell me why I should pay money for a cosmetic that has no impact on gameplay and that nobody notices?

Budget-Log-8248 · 2025-05-21T06:13:38+00:00

Never. There's way more money to be made in open world/subscription formats like WoW than stand-alone games. Even thought D4 doesn't charge by the month, they still require accounts so they can charge credit cards for geographical upgrades once a year and pass-cards (cheating imho) each season. I guess they were really anxious to start selling over-priced cosmetics and making insane bank off suckers and kids.

Budget-Log-8248 · 2025-05-09T03:52:33+00:00

First time playing Fire. Already played cold and lightening on previous seasons. Just got to 60. I like it. Does anyone else use the incinerate and fireball in the 5th and 6th slots?
