No auto sign in? That is pretty lame. I had high hopes for Kinect but between using it as a controller, signing in and voice commands it does not even work half the time. I tried turning it off but then you get a big disconnect icon on every screen. When I game I sit in a recliner and Kinect does not recognize me until I sit up, almost getting out of the chair. I do hope they add auto sign in. I just want to use the unit, not spend time training not ready for prime time technology.

We'll...I hooked up my xbox one and figured what the heck I'll give the kinect a try. I set it to "see me" to login and it did not work half the time. Then I tried the voice commands and it worked fine for a while and then it did not work great. In the time I spent trying to exactly phrase the correct way to say stuff, I could have just used the remote. It does not seem ready for prime time. Then I started thinking, I am not really interested in voice commands and kinect stuff, I would have much rather saved $100 on the unit. In better news, I did get my xbox one working with my Logitech harmony ultimate remote on day one, so that was cool. Anyway..thanks for the comments..I'll probably disconnect the kinect until the killer app comes along. But for now the voice command option is not impressing me.

Hello

I will set up my Xbox One this weekend, but may wait to hook up the Kinect.

What does the non-Kinect One screen look like? Is there a "camera not connected" prompt on the home screen? Pop up reminders? Are there any indicators?

I'd like to leave it out for now but don't want constant reminders to hook it up.

Thanks!

I can click the LB and it toggles between Bronco and Possesion, I only see those two. So I HOLD the button and it brings up other Vigors? As for the wheel on screen..how do I access that? I have not seen it. Lastly..can you lose a Vigor? Or does it wear out? I assume after you drink it you have it forever. Thanks

I got to the point where I picked up and drank the Bucking Bronco Vigor, and it worked fine, but then I seemed to have lost my Murder of Crows Vigor. I can only toggle between the Bronco and the Possesion. When I go into the settings, I see Bronco and Posession are equipped but I can't change what is equipped. I'd like to get my Crows back. It just says they can be upgraded but I can't equip them. 

Are Vigors gone after you find another? Or is there a away to equip them all and rotate? 

Kinda stumped on this one..thanks

Frank

I guess that's true...is there a place to respec in Santuary? Was mainly just looking to see which upgrade was better in the long run, bullets that bounce and do more damage or having the health meter increase when your gun becomes fully loaded

I know that Diablo 3 saves after you complete a quest (checkpoint) but is that it? I recently started in town, did some exploring and fighting and returned to town with much gold and experience. When I went back the next day, it was not there. Is there a way to force a save? Or is the only save "checkpoint reached"?

Also is it possible to grind? I'd like to just jump in and play casual and get gold and XP, but if there is no save and progress is limited to checkpoints, it may not be possible. Or is it?

I have the Brady guide, but I did not find anything specific (yet) on these points.

Thanks

Frank

P.S. There is a great iPad version of the Diablo 3 Brady guide in the App store.
