D3 and /general

A quick comment, apparently the “you’re always joined to /general on logon” is a bug, it should default to on the first time and then remember the setting.

This doesn’t make things any better, what it demonstrates is the quality control / testing is absolutely shocking.

Hospitals and stuff

So, knocking up a quick spreadsheet listing in a very clear manner a complex medication regime for the various medical staff at the hospital is ‘abnormal’.  No… I’m not OCD (it should be CDO anyway…).  Though it would appear this didn’t help them.  They’ve still got utterly confused.  Maybe we should have rambled through the drugs in an unstructured manner

Stupid design decisons

General

This really has to count as one of the more moronic design decisions Blizz has made of the years, not as bad as the RealID fiasco but well up there in the count of “stupid things done to keep marketing happy”.  There were no complaints on the forums about not joining /general, there weren’t screams across the media or blogs.  However the lack of enforced social connections goes against the current Blizz drive for everything being social.

So we’re forced into a channel with the morons, the teenagers, the ‘rape’ morons (ie those who bolt ‘rape’ onto another word because they can) and the spammers.

Blizz, here’s a hint.   This is not a quality of life improvement in the game.
