Diablo 4 Patch 1.1.1 Campfire Chat: July 28th - Icy Veins
Tons of nice changes to Sorc and Barb (skills, items, and paragon). Also, a smaller number of changes to all other classes’ skills, items, and paragon. Looks like they’re erring on the side of slightly overpowered rather than underpowered. Talked about removing or reducing the effects where there’s a buff but it has a downside (I believe the term they used was “kiss curse”). Improvements to mounts, VRAM issue fixes, exit dungeon back to 3 seconds, making all reasonable builds/fantasies (like companion druids) possible and have parity, increased mob density, and lots more.

Using any guides?
Zelda Dungeon is a good resource for all Zelda games; it has a good interactive map (make an account and you can save which items, locations, or events you’ve completed) and walkthroughs of many quests. It’s a bit behind on some TOTK stuff though, as I think they’ve been shorthanded recently. I’ve also found Polygon to have good info as well for all sorts of walkthroughs (especially shrine guides), armor lists, etc.

New Macbook pro user looking for cool stuff that apple users like
I’d say the first rule about using a new OS is to not try to do everything like the old one. 80-90% is the same or similar and the rest needs to be learned or discovered. Aside from installing the apps you need for your graphic design work (like Adobe or whatever you use), I’d suggest giving it an honest try rather than installing a bunch of stuff to make it work like Windows. Of course, if you’re needing something modified or need something the native apps can’t provide, the other posters in this thread have listed a bunch of great suggestions.
As another poster mentioned, using Spotlight is a great way to finding things quickly; it’s much faster than Windows search.
Using Help from the File menu can be useful; it does a good job with built in apps and features. There are also a lot of keyboard shortcuts, so it can be useful to learn them for efficiency.
It sounds like you’re using a laptop, so I’d recommend configuring gestures as they work wonderfully with the trackpad (there’s also an option for three-finger drag which is great for moving files and windows). You can also setup hot corners for different functions. If you loose the cursor, there’s a “Shake mouse pointer to locate” option enabled by default that makes the cursor larger temporarily.
Setting up FileVault (disk encryption) and Time Machine (backups) are good ideas too. Rule of thumb for Time Machine is to get double your disk size for your backup drive- use a 2 TB backup drive if your machine has a 1 TB hard drive.
There’s a transfer utility you can use to bring stuff from your Windows machine to the Mac.
You might check out the Affinity suite of graphic design apps. They are well supported on the Mac but of course it depends on what your needs are.

Given how the story progressed and all the paladin/crusader side quests, it felt like it was one of the classes that really needed to be in game.

Don’t have any proof/confirmation of this, but if it’s consistent with other Blizzard games, the loot is determined at the time of drop rather than time of open, so waiting wouldn’t be of any advantage.

Wouldn’t surprise me if they added another tier; I think they were trying to get away from the 20 difficulty levels in D3.
The horde mode with temp powers sounds like it would be fun.
Couldn’t get into the monk much myself but would be interested to see what they could do now. The tinker type class would be cool and there’s a lot they could explore there.

Where do you go to check server status?
Doesn’t look like there is a traditional server status page, but they recommend checking BlizzardCS Twitter. They’re using newer server tech so the game isn’t down much or at all during maintenance, so in theory a status page isn’t needed. In practice, there are times, like the last couple of days with the DDOS attacks, where there are issues, but I suppose a note on the launcher serves the same purpose.

Not sure why people are excited by this. I didn’t see a half-naked Wilford Brimley anywhere in the trailer. This will flop.

What are you playing this weekend? 2023-07-29
For New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, if you have one of the SNES controllers (or something similar), that may help. I found it played a bit better than the Pro controller, for some reason. Probably my muscle memory from playing so much SNES back in the day! I thought New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe was really difficult to get through even though I played through and conquered the other Marios.
