Diablo III |OT2| Queues Rise. Servers Fall.

So this is what it feels like....

I thought something was wrong with my game because it wasn't allowing me to log in. Game is installed and I am cocked, locked and ready to rock.
 
This having to deal with lag and disconnections stuff with a single player experience is just really off-putting. I love the game, but man... not a good experience.
 
Fuck the online DRM in this game. I was less than 10 steps from an exit in an dungeon when I got kicked out of my game, of course when I log back in I have to go through the entire fucking place from the start. Fucking Blizzard.
 
I wonder why out of all my friends on my list, I'm the one to get thrown out of their game and put in a queue when I was already playing. Oh well, back in. Ping is 476ms :\

I'm reluctant to move forward, I don't want to lag and die. -.-

Interestingly this didn't happen with an online game, single player or otherwise, in D2. Your game stuck around for like 10 minutes if you got disconnected or quit so you could rejoin it.
 
Wow. Finally, I got sometime to open my CE, got online and server down in 10 minutes. I would be pissed if it was subscription base and/or I wasn't being leisure.

it's really not

i played all day long without a hitch until just now, 9:20pm at night

i doubt this will be a long downtime as it was planned and announced. Probably just a hotfix or minor patch

Ditto. This is the most fun I have had with a videogame since I was a child. The servers will (already are?) stabilize and we will have this gem of a game for years to come.

My brother and I used the same game starting from 7:30 am and the end of act 2 to 5:30 pm end of act 4 with no issues at all.

Oh, those that said that this game is ugly are mental.
 
Man right when it gets good the server is going down. I finally got blizzard, and meteor. Both of these spells make a huge difference. I think I prefer blizzard right now because. So how does the second teleport rune work?
 
Okay so this legendary I just equipped increased my dps from 2500 to 4928...

Now THIS is what I'm talking about, baby

Think you have that backwards yoshi. Having a 3-4 people party is derp-mode. Someone in the party dies on a boss fight? no problem, while the boss in attacking one player, the other one resses the dead player. Repeat this to infinity for boss kill. You can't do that on solo.

Just look at how your man kripparrian, only manages to make any kind of progress in inferno because they have a 4 man team, and can spam res infinitely. It's quite dumb tbh, hope Blizzard changes it, so it can't just be done an infinite amount of times, it totally trivializes the content.

Nah bro. Full group act 2 on hell is near impossible unless you're perfect... solo act 2 is manageable, sometimes even easy.

Server going down in 2 mins. Great.

They say they are restarting them. I wonder how long that will take. Was trying out a demon hunter for the first time. Was pretty fun.

edit: Here is Blizzard's Statement on their Forum-

Blizz said:
Diablo III in the Americas is currently undergoing scheduled rolling restarts to implement performance improvements. We expect downtime to be minimal, lasting for approximately 15 minutes. Please note that during this time you may be disconnected from Battle.net, experience issues logging in, or be unable to use some in-game features.

Thank you for your patience.

Shitty the servers are going down just when I go to hop on. Oh well, now I can go to bed at a reasonable time instead of getting sucked into the time hole.
 
Now that I've played some more, I'm really glad that Blizzard used their WoW experience with Diablo's bosses. The fights are a lot more interesting now.

I just hope they don't roll back the 3 rares I got from that last boss.
 
I just realised I gave a better shield to the templar.. is my account going to be doomed when the server comes back? Is that bug still going on?
 
Never received a server shutdown message. Game just simply got unplayable-y bad lag.

I'm really curious as to what has led to all of the server issues. Bad math on server requirements per player, demand vastly exceeding supply, any number of things.

I hope someone in the press does a good story on what happened.
 
What makes me really mad is that if you quit the game after exploring an entire area, it becomes unexplored when you come back to play. Is there any way to avoid the game doing this to me?
 
Me and my party beat Act I just before yesterday's downtime, and Act II just before this downtime. Talk about good luck haha.
 
They should really save the progress in whatever dungeon you were in.

It's inexcusable for a game to do that in 2012.

I wonder if this will happen when the first expansion hits...


For that matter, I wonder how many expansions we'll get?

They have said 2 at this point.

I cant wait to see what kind of acts we will get if it is only one at a time. The amount of detail and variety between the different areas is pretty staggering.
 
Yep, got kicked message saying servers going down. Yet all my friends are still in game, never getting that message and are able to play.
