I got this email today:

Big scam. Don't buy into a single bit of it. It was in my inbox, and not filtered through gmail's spam filter. It really looks legitimate, except for the link.

I'm sure they sent out a whole bunch of these emails, so just be careful :thup:

such a crappy email...

at least change the displayed URL... and attempt at putting a name in the "Greetings", Blizzard always includes the username in their emails. And posting the address before the closing? wtf? have they even written a formal letter before?

And why would blizzard send an email at 3:53 am... try to do it during blizzards actual business hours...

The grammar and formatting in that letter are terrible, it's a dead giveaway that it's a scam.
I went through it, playing along of course, and it says:
"You Personal info has been refresh. Thanks!"

Smooth...

I could definitely see some younger players buying into this though. It's a good idea, just executed terribly. But of course, once it starts asking for account info you would know it was a scam, Blizz doesn't need your password to look at your account.

Yeah, just the email should be enough to see it for what it is. It could've definitely been better. They could've made it look like a real link by adding html tags.

Also be aware that emails from [email protected] might not be authentic, you can fake it. Even if it looks exactly the same.

Its a terrible scam but if they send it to enough people chances are it will work a few times not that people that fall for this will have anything worth stealing.

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    @tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
