Something else changed as well that is not listed in these patch notes. I noticed between last night and today (going through 59 and then finishing 59 after servers went up, but before the authentication issues started happening), I was doing more damage after the patch. Looking through the notes, there's nothing I can see that would explain DH suddenly doing more damage. Last night I was only getting roughly 8k crits, today I'm doing 10k crits and gear has not changed. So, I'm suddenly doing more damage than what I was last night.

They fixed that bug by replacing it with "Error 37".

I'm finally out. Just got kicked out of the game that I farmed all of Act 1 Inferno, killed the Butcher and started Act 2. Bumped back to the character screen and all the gear I obtained is gone as well as the quest progress I made... Dodgy

I notice there's almost as many changes to the AH as to the actual game. I wonder if that's going to be consistent.

Exactly why did they do this? I don't want to be spammed with crap when I log on and play. :S It astounds me that they think that would be useful.

Yeah, I am finding it annoying that the first thing I do when I create a game is leave general chat. Boggles the mind!

I think there have been a lot of people who got disconnected from battle.net a couple of minutes after logging in unless they immediately joined the general chat. This probably helped because the chat provided some kind of "keepalive" mechanism to the server? Don't know. Anyway, maybe Blizzard made this change as a quick fix to help those people.

The strange thing is that this bug seems to have been fixed now. I went all night last night without a 3007 and there were long periods of chat silence in general chat. I'm going to test again to see what happens if I leave general chat, but it's good not to have to spam the chat window to stay connected.

Good to hear, and this kind of network stuff usually isn't in patch notes, because it's too hard to explain sometimes to the layman.
