I didn't get a message for restart either. It just booted me all of a sudden.

This is especially frustrating for those of us that balance heavy workloads with little free time at home. I've been waiting to play this game for ages, but it launched during a very busy week for me at work. When I finally make it home to play after lusting about it all day, the servers are down.

Oh well. I trust that Blizzard is working hard to fix it.

Sincerely,

Hopelessly optimistic

 

[Megasoum]

thats not how diablo works lol

you dont need to do anything for your shit to save...

the only times people have lost items is because of weird server rollbacks or resyncs

I know that this is not how Diablo is supposed to work but this is how it went every single time the servers went down since the game came out.

 

[BolognaOni]

woo im in

Haha, or so you think!

 

[Cheech]

Yeah, I received no warning the servers were going down. A couple people in general chat mentioned it, but I thought it was just assholes being assholes. Hope I didn't lose too much progress.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

While we wait, here's my DH for the lulz:

 

[Toki767]

I feel like my wizard's DPS is quite low...it's only around 45 at level 17.

 

[echoshifting]

I don't need to keep checking the game, it's easy to tell whether or not it's working based on the current posts-per-minute in this thread ;p

 

[Czigga]

Hey! Have all you whiny assholes ever considered following instructions from Blizzard?

STFU and try again later.

 

[Tyreny]

Error 33 now, down for maintenance

 

[Sinatar]

Wait until the weekend, the first weekend the game is out, everyone is off work, kids out of school. Yeah, won't be playing much I'm afraid.

It's a long weekend in Canada too.

 

[Ezio]

No longer error 37, now I get bnet down for maint. Ugh.

-beaten

 

[lastplayed]

you guys should be posting your glorious screenshots while you wait.

 

[zlatko]

Hey! Have all you whiny assholes ever considered following instructions from Blizzard?

But it IS later. How much later IS later?

Haha exactly

me too me too

 

[RPGCrazied]

Can we post the profile of your character? No more title ones please. The background and the quest text is kinda spoiler.

 

[Big Papa Husker]

I got on... then got kicked off. DAMN IT!

 

[Empty Space]

Serenity only gets 7 times more ridiculous as you level it too. Not to mention your default fist gets a teleport on it really early. I haven't even tried the last fist attack. I can't wait until my exploding palm gets the spirit regen effect to it.

Crippling Wave is probably the best Monk standard attack.

 

[Jaxter09]

Might as well ask here,

Spoiler

found an acount-tied item, I think it was called Rainbow Bottle or something. What does it do?

 

[Jobacca]

Hey! Have all you whiny assholes ever considered following instructions from Blizzard?

STFU and try again later.

When exactly is later? 1 second? 5 seconds?

 

[poweld]

"Unfortunately we've had a few delays in bringing the #D3 servers back online. No ETA yet, please stay tuned."

 

[Lafiel]

Question about the Monk - Do I suffer any damage penalties if I wear a non-fist weapon like a sword or axe for example?

Barely finding any fist weapons on my character.-_-

 

[The Elite]

Go to bedroom to play some D3, can't get in. Go back to living room to watch the ball game, browse gaf, guys are getting back in. Walk back to bedroom, try to log on, can't get in. Go back to living room to watch the ball game, browse gaf, guys are getting back in.

That's been my last 30 minutes.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Server shutting down in 10 minutes!

TY BLIZZARD.

 

[Charoncaori]

How exactly does one screw up server messages? I didn't receive any warning when the server was about to go down either, except from people in chat. Weird.

 

[Jeff_Chen]

I'll just go visit Niagara while you guys play with the error 37 game this weekend

 

[Einchy]

Everyone has been trying that a lot these past 2 days.

 

[Cipherr]

Yep, when I refresh and get less than 20 new posts, I go ahead and log in lol.

 

[KorrZ]

Nice! My Level 13 Wizard and I are happy again.

Young wizards: Is Torrent as lame as it feels? I just got and already want to switch back to Arcane Orbs.

Torrent is definitely as lame as it feels. I just hit level 17 and Arcane Orb is still my one and only baby. I'm hoping Disintegrate is useful.

 

[forrest]

I'm around 35 on my Demon Hunter and in Nightmare. Could have been further, but some family obligations on Tuesday pulled me away. The game is absolutely great, but all of the issues surrounding the servers is pretty inexcusable in my opinion. Sure, things are usually expected to be a bit rocky with an online launch of this magnitude. However, calling it a rocky start at the point would be a gross understatement.

Buy +damage rings and amulet. you'll do crazy damage.

I saw the warning. I was like oh okay let's log out and go eat. Went downstairs, ate pizza for about 10ish minutes. Came back up. Logged back in with no issues and saw 2 of my friends were online playing and thought, "Oh okay. Quick fix. Cool." Went back in, played 3-4 minutes, boom crashz0rz TROLOLOLOLOLOLOL.

 

[Czigga]

No!!! It teased me by actually letting me put in my authenticator pw but then it shot me down again.

I feel so bad for you guys who've been dealing with this for days (just bought a full game key)

 

[NaturalHigh]

not sure if anyone stole this from reddit yet:

You had one job, Jon. One job.

 

[Shouta]

Question about the Monk - Do I suffer any damage penalties if I wear a non-fist weapon like a sword or axe for example?

No penalties.

 

[Cru Jones]

Man, I was about 15 minutes into fighting the last boss when the server went down

Never change Blizzard. Never change.

 

[LowParry]

Probably group. Just started not too long ago myself, I'll add you when I get back in if you want to group up.

Hells yeah.

I'm on Act 2 btw.

 

[Magnus]

The way they've screwed the rest up. Now I'm certain I didn't see warnings since others have chimed in too.

Man, I was about 15 minutes into fighting the last boss when the server went down

The fight is...more than 15 minutes long? Jesus. lol

 

[Atrophis]

Just finished Normal in 16 hours and 1 minute at level 32. Gets pretty crazy in act 3 and 4.

Got 1 legendary from a normal mob in act 3 but it was shit

Now the solo slog is over its coop time (tomorrow, three nights in a row with only 4 hours sleep is killing me)

Awwwwwwwww shieeeeeeeeeet. About to get real.

TY BLIZZARD.

DAMN YOU BLIZZARD! I work all day longing to play D3, then I struggle all night fighting lag instead of monsters and waiting for the damn servers to work.

I've tried five times tonight to get through the end of Act I normal, but I've been disconnected every time. And now the servers are down.


Fuck it, think I'll play some WoW while I wait to relax a bit.

 

[Sothpaw]

Here's what I'm using at level 25.

Nowhere near as efficient as my Dire Bat build, and I miss Spirit Walk something fierce, but damn it's fun. I should probably ditch Hex but he picks up Hedge Magic in half a level ;p

Level 29 atm.

Firebomb
Acid Cloud - Acid Rain
Hex - Hedge Magic
Grasp of the Dead - Eels
Wall of Zombies
Gargantuan - Humongoid

I absolutely destroy everything with this build. Haven't died a single time since the middle of Act 2 and that was only due to rushing through a timed event.

Seriously?

 

[Czigga]

Sorry I should've put /sarcasm at the end of my post.

For the rest of my life whenever see the words "Please try again" or "Try again later" I'm going to think of Diablo 3

And here we go.

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

Fact: I didn't get a message in-game. I started playing 10 minutes before the server crash.

Fact 2: People who are just now trying to log in for the first time today, did not get any kind of warning that they wouldn't be able to play their single-player game upon returning home from work due to "login issues", that I suppose their tech guys are going to get around to fixing someday.

Yeah, the person I was playing with didn't get the message either, and we'd been playing for a good hour or so.
