For some reason the Blizzard Client is not using D3 as my home page in it.
Instead I now get the generic home page.
What gives?
They updated the launcher.

The Bnet team is rolling out a setting that allows people to choose either the Home screen or the last viewed game screen as the default when the launcher opens. Look for a setting called ON STARTUP, VIEW.
It’s being rolled out in stages so it may not show up for everyone at once.

This is where to find the setting…

Man, it took me a while to find the Settings page.
Why not put the link to it under the Avatar drop-down where it should be?
It’s the first option on the drop down for me at least.
No settings for me (and why can I not post images on the new forum software)
All I ask is that the Devs keep to norms.
Ya know
Settings go under the Avatar, spacebar closes the chest etc
I always use “E” for interact.

I’m left-handed so this guy’s “norms” are suboptimal. For that matter, I’d like a game where you can customize a different button to “Esc” that is more convenient for my right hand. For D3 I ended up writing an Autohotkey snippet to map Alt+L to Escape so I could fish slightly less painfully.
So you use a leftie mouse? Got a a couple of leftie friends but they use standard layout.
The “norm” I’m talking about is the fact that the spacebar used to close the chest.
When they made the chest searchable it stopped.
Which item in inventory starts with a space?
None!
Until you reach a certain “trust level” you are only restricted from posting hyperlinks. Bare URLs are allowed for everyone.
To do that, use the “Preformatted text” markdown on the URL. It’s the </> symbol in the toolbar.
Example:
www.google.com

I like how it lists my favorites as WOW, WOW Classic, D3, HOTS. I have never owned WOW, WOW Classic or HOTS. D3 is the only Blizz game I play online and it is not even listed as my first favorite.
You can add and subtract favorites from the bar, and rearrange the order.
I think it just picks randoms when opening for the first time.

The best way to get this as soon as possible is to go into the Battle.net App’s settings and opt into the Beta branch. This will give you that feature much, much sooner than it goes to the non-beta branch.
AFAIK however, Blizzard does not do this in stages. You have two branches to choose from: Beta and Release. Both branches see the updates for everyone at the same time on the respective branch.
According to Kalv, it’s going out in two stages for the live version.
I don’t just make these things up!
Alrighty then. If Kalv said it I’ll take his word. In any case, the beta branch will get you this feature now regardless of whether or not there is a live rollout. I tend to stick with the beta branch anyway as that actually gets bugfixes far more often than the live branch does since live only gets a bugfix when a push is scheduled vs. beta’s internal pushes. The BDA is one of the very few things I’d actually recommend being on a beta branch for as a daily driver app.
