Profiles now on browser - Archon_Wing - 08-06-2012
You can view your D3 profile with a browser now, which will be nice so that idiots on the battle.net forums can't make up crap while they boast.
It looks great, polished and contains more info than the old in-game profiles.

Time to put mine in the sig, and clean up my sig as a result.

It's like I'm this adult, saying to his kid "stay on your side or else!" and you're the kid sticking his pinky toe over the line just to see what I'll do. It's pretty sad.

You could always lop his head off, slap it on a stick as a warning to everyone else

Happy?
From my perspective, I feel like a Occupy Protester exercising his right to protest only to get a can of pepper spray pointed at his face. Yup, sad indeed.
RE: Profiles now on browser - Archon_Wing - 08-07-2012
There's a few ways to look at it.
The first is in line with my criticism that their priorities are messed up. There are many other features that need to be fixed.
The second is that whoever did this is independent of the main programers/designers and doesn't delay 1.04. In that case, it's a nice sign of goodwill, really. I can imagine that really. It's also possible that this is a sign that they're trying to provide-- online profiles were a highly demanded feature, and that means they've collected clues. That is a good thing.
Finally, it could just be a distraction to buy more time for other things. That seems likely, but I still wouldn't complain.
In any case, it's a new shiny toy, and I will mess around with it. Please post your own exploits with said toy.
RE: Profiles now on browser - FireIceTalon - 08-07-2012
I'd like to see achievements shown. Other than that, it is really well done, and I like how it shows each individual chars progression unlike in game it just shows progression from your most advanced char.

Fight the power, brah. Capitalism, Blizzard, Bolty... if they oppose your righteous crusade against oppression, they're the man, and that makes you, like, Che Guevara! Which is, like, awesome.

Achievements will probably be added soon, to match Starcraft 2.
Interestingly, hours played is missing.
But that's a good thing for some and actually people were complaining about privacy issues regarding that! That means they listened (how unusual) The followers are a good part to have, and the next part is probably more stats for those guys. It'd be best to quickly display mf/gf as a main stat at this point though.Edit:Need stats for dead hc

My bet is it's the Web Team and not any of the D3 programming team. Web team does a large number of things without having to worry too much about the game teams, thus just have to write the queries to hit the DBs and then post said information.
RE: Profiles now on browser - FireIceTalon - 08-07-2012
LOL at hours played missing. I don't see the big deal about that...guess some people would feel embarrassed at having 4 digit hours logged in, hehe. But I'd like to see my hours logged in on D1......or maybe not. It would be something truly astronomical.
@ Jester, you are how old again?

Yea, I'd imagine something as the such.

There were some threads on the battle.net forums (most likely a troll) that was like "Omg, I added business associates on facebook or whatnot and if they find out if I spend too much time..." I guess there's still a stigma on massive gaming perhaps.
In any case, privacy features are always welcome.

Che > Mitt Romney

Che sports a cool cap, therefore he is better.
Anyhow, profiles anyone? >.>
RE: Profiles now on browser - FireIceTalon - 08-08-2012
How often are these updated? Mine shows my WD as only completing hell but I finished Act 1 Inferno with him yesterday. I have to say, it is the first and only class where I felt OP upon entering Inferno.
RE: Profiles now on browser - Archon_Wing - 08-08-2012
Seems to lag behind by a day or two.
