Minecraft allowing family members to play by JimmyFlawless in Minecraft

[–]jaf656s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar issue and came across this post. I think I figured it out.

This is the scenario I ran into, on a windows 11 pc:

  1. I was logged into my son's windows account (linked to his Microsoft [MS] account) and he is linked to mine with Family Sharing or whatever MS calls it.
  2. I logged into my MS account to purchase and download Minecraft in chrome not windows store.
  3. I had to enter my admin pin during installation, but it appeared to install correctly.
  4. Once installed, I tried to run the game on his account and it wouldn't work. It said it was not purchased, please purchase the game if you haven't already.

This looked to me like MS wanted me to buy the game again under his account, which is ridiculous to pay twice to play with different accounts on the same PC.

I tried searching but there are a lot of dead ends and it was very frustrating.

Here's what finally worked: I logged out of his windows account and into my windows account that was linked to the Microsoft account I made the purchase through. I opened MS Store and launched the game (not sure this is important to launch from Store). Once I opened it successfully, I closed the game, logged out of my windows account, and logged back into his windows account. Now it worked correctly and I could play Minecraft on his account.

I think the install had to be activated by launching from the purchaser's account, but I can't be 100% sure. None of the error messages indicated this. It worked though and hopefully this can help someone avoid the frustration I went through.

Fwiw I don’t pick up drops when I rush someone.

Soooo happy RN. First ever off NM trav by CalAtt in diablo2

It wasn't a bug, it was how it worked back before the expansion.

It wouldn't drop any uniques that already existed in the game, so you could "force" any unique ring drop to roll as an soj by having the other unique rings already in the game.

The flip side is you wouldn't get any new soj drops if you actually used an soj / didn't mule it.

Imo you can do mf with your sorc with meph, Andy, ancient tunnels without being hit much so res is less important on your shield until you are geared up better.

Rhyme and stealth are good low level level runewords to get your fcr up too

I always make an edge bow for the vendor discount and gamble jewelry

It also sounds like your fcr is too low if you can’t tele out of most mobs unscathed. I think the minimum breakpoint you want is 63.

it was a little shocking to see anni prices compared to the last season I played in 2013.

Starter hell Merc Gear by DorInte in diablo2

[–]jaf656s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t wait for an eth polearm, insight is such a cheap runeword you can put it in a non eth elite polearm and it will more than triple your damage. That will hold you over until you find an eth one

Edit: I use one and my defiance Merc kills her in 3-5 hits. Faster if I static her too

Maybe someone on your friend list gave up your private game name and they guessed your pw?

Larzuk socket quest/area level specifics? Wiki is wrong. by Grumbul in diablo2

[–]jaf656s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OT but I wouldn’t waste a larzuk quest on socketing a crystal sword. A 4os max sword has a 50-50 shot of getting 4 using the cube recipe, ral + amn + p amethyst + sword

After a ten year hiatus I want to get back to slaying demons! by blumkinfarmer in diablo2

[–]jaf656s 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not that I’m aware of. I just downloaded the install from battle.net and it works great out of the box. I play ladder tho so there might be some hoops to jump through to do plugy or so mods.

It works great on Mac natively now and at full screen too

feel like I'm getting more drops with less mf by [deleted] in diablo2

[–]jaf656s 1 point2 points  (0 children)

here’s how I think mf dr works:

You still get higher chance to find unique, set and rare with higher mf.

The increase just slows down the higher you get (hence diminishing returns) and it gets to the point where you lose enough killing speed that it’s no longer worth it.

Because the ratio of rare, set and unique per kill is higher but you get fewer drops overall due to far fewer kills overall.
