What are /r/Blizzard's favorite Products & Services?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

https://thepiratebay.org/description.php?id=4810816 <-- I downloaded and ran this properly.

Instructions:

Install the ISOs, when done, drag the Patch file into the install directory, right-click "Run As Administrator" and then you can play the game without a CD.

Disclaimer:

This is not illegal because these are rips of the ISOs to install on a PC that doesn't have a CD drive and a patch to allow the game to run without a CD. I assume you already have the Game keys to which you own the program legally.

Therefore, this is merely providing a service that Blizzard has literally removed from existence, and is in no way, shape, or form, theft.

Sounds like you are covered. The fact that you have an authenticator and it worked means your account is safe. Changing passwords and running virus scans should be enough. They didn’t get in so you have nothing to fear. Unless this happens again, I wouldn’t be concerned too much.

You could check Have I Been Pwned to see if your usernames have been leaked. You should know already not to reuse passwords and use a password manager to help.

That's Crabby!. @/u/outverness if you have difficulties connecting to any of the games or services, I recommend giving the steps we list here a try.

Don't let all these people get to you! Just buy it on Amazon. Hope this helps out!

You can easily report it from the PlayStore app by clicking the link, then "open in app", then click the three dots in the corner, flagging it, then flag for other reason, and put "Violation of 90 day launch policy."

I got my new one off Amazon. but that would depend on your country. if you're UK they're up there.

And they're only £4 atm

A few possibilities really; Either the IPs that Surfshark uses have been blocked by . Or the Surfshark VPN locations have been blocked/banned by for whatever reason, or they're outside your registered region.

I constantly use a VPN on my machine through ExpressVPN in North America. The only time I've ever had issues with anything, included, is when I have my VPN location set to some places in Asia or even Europe (for Netflix or other streaming access). If I swap my VPN back to a North American server, I'm usually good to go.

I type eu.battle.net, I get redirected to www.blizzard.com/en-us/ which puts me to https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-us/ i change whats after the - to gb, it puts me back to us/, so have to write gb/. Sorry for being slightly overdramatic, but I was tilted at that point. Note that the links on https://www.blizzard.com/en-gb/ also direct you to the US.

AWS hasn't even built a Data Center in Africa yet, and they have far more data centers then Blizzard - https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/global-infrastructure/

If even Amazon hasn't seen much reason to build a data center, there must be a reason there's a lack of data centers (I mean, they even have 2 in China, segregated from the rest of the world).

I assume you're an American, so I tried searching for a decent one one Amazon. I find this Laptop is ok for your kid. It's playable, can expect smooth gameplay but not ultimate graphic setting.

BUT I suggest you to save up money for a better one. Technology these days go too fast. A new release laptop this year maybe outdated a year after. And he's a kid, he might get excited by new games anytime, so the laptop I recommended above can't handle them.

>It also used the same password I use for every website

Well, there's your problem. The first thing to do is go to https://haveibeenpwned.com/ to see how many breaches you were in. Then get yourself a password manager like Bitwarden or 1Password and give every internet account it’s own unique password no matter how unimportant it is. Turn on 2FA for as many accounts as you can especially your email. And for the love of god don't forget your master password to your password manager.

No worries :) Can't confirm it works until I get my ps5 this week but here's the link:

It works for ps4 controllers and I've read it *should* work for Ps5. Keep us updated with the process!

From the <strong>Give the Gift of Overwatch</strong> blog post:

Prices of both Overwatch and Overwatch: Origins Edition are being reduced on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One (live on PC, may not be on consoles yet).

• Overwatch: Origins Edition - ~~$59.99~~ $39.99 (-33%)
• Upgrade from Overwatch to Overwatch: Origins Edition: ~~$19.99~~ $9.99 (-50%)

If you have no work experience I'd recommend an internship even if it's free. Apparently you are 10x more likely you get a job if you have any experience. Also I know a lot of companies look at people with profiles on like https://www.linkedin.com/ I saw these on HiRez's youtube channel series for tips on getting a job in the industry. I'd recommend watching those as well

Starcraft II was released as a single game with two expansions, but by the time the second expansion was close to launching, they decided to make them all standalone.

Prior to July 15th 2015 you could not play Heart of the Swarm without Wings of Liberty.

>Starting today, the original StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty is no longer required to play Heart of the Swarm

So it appears that you have been spreading lies and misinformation and that's not okay.

its rough. i thought my blizzard launcher was broken so i tried reinstalling it, it's been stuck at updating blizzard agent for over an hour now. the log file from the updater has grown to over 1000 lines of connction timeouts, blizzards servers are beyond fucked right now.

i also tried pinging a few of the servers, which i'm getting errors from, and the result is pretty clear: https://www.site24x7.com/tools/public/t/results-1593554989909.html

if i was you i'd just play a different game for now until blizzard finally manages to fix their servers, because this problem is on blizzards side and nowhere else. if you really want your money back you probably could get a refund but if i was you i'd just wait and try not to rage.

When you change your password you need to change it to something random like what this site creates... https://1password.com/password-generator/.

Since it took a week for them to try the new password this tells us that you changed the password to something else you used in the past. It's best you don't reuse passwords no matter what.

They probably use the zxcvbn password strength meter. It sees how common the words and letters you use are to each other so randomly hitting the keyboard won't work because we're not random enough and often hit the keys next to each other.

Try using a real password generator like this instead https://bitwarden.com/password-generator/

I've seen this post with the VPN and you sadly need one. I had a Downloadspeed from 0b/s then i got NordVPN and now im Downloading with 15mb which is like half of my normal Downloadspeed. Get urself a VPN and the problem isnt as bad anymore.

Have you found a way to solve this?

I use ExpressVPN as well, and I only selected Edge and torrent to use the vpn, firefox works fine after the vpn is connected, in fact, everything works as intended but is ALWAYS the one that screws up and refuses to connect.

It's not that annoying since I rarely play Blizz games nowadays but when it happens, Battle NET just ends up running non stop, I had like 40 instances of it running, had to use taskkill to end them all at once.

Hi.

I am not familiar with ExpressVPN specifically, but here's what I know of VPNs in general:

Application specific VPNs (such as the one built into Opera browser), will route the data of that application via the VPN. No other applications are affected.

Interface specific VPN (such as the ones that install an application on your PC to turn VPN on or off) will route all traffic meant for that interface via the VPN servers when you have VPN switched on. Its all routed or nothing routed.

So, to handle your issue, you could try setting up multiple interfaces. For example, a WLAN adapter with VPN for your browsing and a cabled interface with no VPN for your games.

You could also do this with virtual interfaces where you would have 2 IP addresses on 1 physical interface. One with VPN and the other without. A bit complex to set up though.

OR, go nuts and install HyperV and create a second virtual Windows installation where you do your browsing from. Your host PC won't have a VPN and thats where you play games from. Your virtual Windows will have ExpressVPN and thats where you do your browsing from. Very simple to set this up.

Same thing here. The warzone update stopped and i thought my launcher is broken or something. When I've decided to reinstall it it didn't work. The fix is to download ProtonVPN. It's the only one which worked for me. You can get 7 day trial without entering your cc information. Connect to the US servers and restart blizzard setup launcher. It might take a bit longer because the launcher was downloading at only 50kb/s but eventually it downloaded. Hope this will help.

I found this did it for me:

1: Download a free trial/free vpn service (I downloaded ProtonVPN)

2: Set VPN to US.

3: Start download in blizz launcher.

4: Close down the vpn

Download continues but now uses my own line insted of passing through the vpn..

Speed goes up to around 10MB/s download's finally (still a fair distance to go to cap my 500/500 though)

- May have to redo steps 2-4 a few times, as it seems to only leave the "tunnel" open for a set amount of time/data.

Hope this helps people out.

I don't know if this will work for you but it did for me. Download ProtonVPN, get the 7 day free trial of the premium version, and try connecting to different servers. Singapore worked like a charm for me. Speed immediately went up.

I tried this for the Season 4 update, using Ivacy VPN as I already have an account there, changed my location to Americas, exited, connected my VPN to America in Ivacy, started and it wouldn't download the update.

As I'd already started the update, it said "waiting for another update to finish" or something like that.

I was getting between 80kBps and 200kBps download speeds, which were abysmal.

So tried it still connected to America in my VPN but back on Europe in , and it started downloading.

Currently getting about 4.5-4.75Mbps, so over a 20 fold increase in download speed. My max download speed on my line is typically about 8MBps, so not getting the best download speed in that regard, but way better than what I was getting before! So for that I'm thankful!

Okay maybe someone could "throw me a bone"? I use ExpressVPN and although its only using the VPN service for Kodi (settings in app), Blizzard insists "something went wrong" whenever its running. Is a VPN just a big "no-no" or... ???

I appreciate any suggestions :)

Sure thing! https://www.amazon.com/Battle-net-Store-Gift-Card-Balance/dp/B012JMS4W2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1478393631&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=battle.net+balance

That is the link from which I purchased the digital code from.

Amazon has some from a place called Custom Prints. This Legion one looks pretty good. Sadly, there aren't many on Blizzard's own store. I don't know if they're licensed or not though. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B019W1TNK0/ref=pd_sbs_14_t_0?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1&amp;refRID=H3TS8E3WVSXQN3PQPW7X

if on windows, check out http://winauth.com you can save the .xml and exe on to google drive so that you can access it from any windows pc.

Also, if you have an android phone, Flex Auth is from the play store, and you can store all the bnet accounts you wish. you can use the secret keys from one of the apps to transfer to the other program. I just dont remember which direction you need to do it from as its been a while since i've had to add any.
