[K.Sabot]

Glad to see Stepto shaking off the corporate dust and coming into his own skin again.

 

[Chiggs]

What a complete disaster. Way to prepare for launch Blizzard. Next time don't put the intern on server duty.

They suck for this. It's so fucking moronic.

 

[ShipTheCheese]

You people all act surprised that this would happen.

Really, guys?

 

[B-Dex]

@BlizzardCS Rent a few extra servers for your launch of a game waited for for over a decade

 

[Teknoman]

Quick someone tell me if the music is still too quiet in game around New Tristram.

 

[Velocity]

I was going to say it sucks that I won't be able to play D3 for another 7 hours, but it seems like I'm not the only one.

Also, this will most likely get lost among posts of "OH GOD ERRORS!!!111!111!@$ *cry*", does anyone know why the Diablo 3 iPad guide was taken off the store and why the hell it's not back on there now? Just curious...

 

[zroid]

Here's how big this game is

#error37 is the top trending thing on Twitter right now.

lol

I see "Error 3006" is trending as well

 

[lordy88]

Can't create my character now. Keeps timing out every time...Error 3006!

Lol. So close!

 

[LowParry]

You are not prepared.

 

[Noirulus]

Damnit, I give up. I'm gonna sleep.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Eh. I'm done trying. Good night, GAF. Fuck DRM.

 

[Juice]

I'm enjoying clicking "Create Hero" and waiting 30 seconds. This monk is going to be so created someday.

 

[FinKL]

let me make my character so i can go to sleep ffs

 

[Magnus]

Yay +1 for Blizzard Customer Service. It did take 30 minutes of holding on the phone, but two questions later and I had my authenticator sync/serial number issues resolved, and I'm back into my account.

They rule.

let me make my character so i can go to sleep ffs

Post of the thread, rofl.

 

[Arlecchino]

if you tap A rapidly it improves your odds! or thats what the kid on the bus said.

It was actually b.

 

[nilbog21]

Nice launch blizzard..

 

[reggieandTFE]

Here's how big this game is

#error37 is the top trending thing on Twitter right now.

Well it is 2:30 in the fucking morning so not much is really going on.

 

[TommyT]

lol

I see "Error 3006" is trending as well

lol what else is going to be trending at this time?

 

[Ferrio]

Keep timing out at character.

Friend is in and playing, so that's kinda sad

 

[GhostWriter24]

Just canceled my preorder.

 

[perryfarrell]

Can't create my character now. Keeps timing out every time...Error 3006!

Lol. So close!

I'm getting Error 300008 when trying to create hero.

 

[JaseC]

Finally at the hero creation screen.

 

[theinfinityissue]

yeah, shoulda clarified. I'm IN.. to the character creation screen where i'm getting 3000008'ed out. Now this fun process begins:

Thought A: Oh man, I can't create a character. I wonder if anyone else can. What if I'm in some weird situation where I can't create one until I log out and in? (go to thought B)

Thought B: Ok, I'll log out then. But wait. What if I log out.. and never even make it back to the character creation screen? I'll stay logged in a bit longer and try to create my character a few more times. But... (go to thought A)

 

[Ridli]

My Monk is in!

AIRBENDING SLICE!

 

[Chiggs]

I wonder if Max Payne 3 is giving gamers problems like this.

 

[Charoncaori]

if you tap A rapidly it improves your odds! or thats what the kid on the bus said.

nah, man, hold b and then press a+down when it closes...

 

[Jas]

I want to be a hero

 

[KAP151]

We’ll be back soon!

The Blizzard family of websites is temporarily unavailable. Thank you for your patience!

Now the website is down.. L O FUCKING L

 

[Beelzeboss]

I kinda want to give up but I made it this far. I got through error 37 and I don't want to go back.

damn you error 300008

 

[Rednax]

Not surprised whatsoever, but you'd seriously think a multibillion dollar company with this many years of planning could've done this better, or at least give an official acknowledgment there's problems and a time estimate

 

[GhostRidah]

Has anyone actually even logged into the game yet? pass the character create screen? If so I guess they wont even see this and they are in bliss.

 

[AppleMIX]

Finally at the hero creation screen.

You'll be there for a while.

 

[Infinite_Daremo]

Just went and got a copy from Tesco. It wasnt even on shelves so i thought midnight launch had ruined me. Luckily the lazy night staff just didnt put it out

Now i have to work... from home.... on the same PC with a Diablo 3 icon on my Desktop.

 

[forrest]

I got some error on character screen after trying many times and then all of the boxes just stayed greyed out. had to ctrl alt del out and start over.

 

[Revoh]

one does not simply stop trying to log in

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Well it is 2:30 in the fucking morning so not much is really going on.

lol what else is going to be trending at this time?

Yes cause America is the only country in the world, right?

 

[Jackl]

Sys Admin: Only been 12 years since the last incarnation, how bad could traffic get?

Launch Day:
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

 

[HenryHSH]

Give it another 15 minutes guys. Same thing happened to both Asia and Europe.

 

[picklecannon]

I got some error on character screen after trying many times and then all of the boxes just stayed greyed out. had to ctrl alt del out and start over.

You just wait for a bit and another time out error will pop up.

 

[mavs]

It's not the DRM doing this, it's every nerd in America logging on at the same time doing this.

If this had single player like Diablo 2 we wouldn't need to log in to anything. We could just play the fucking game that is on our computers already.

I'm definitely ready to eat crow over this always online shit.

 

[Weenerz]

Everyone should tweet @BlizzardCS and bitch about this.

 

[SaintMadeOfPlaster]

It's a multiplayer game, how do you wish to accomplish this? Just making finding people a random bs process?

There is a single player campaign. You should not be required to connect to the internet to play this single player campaign. When you try to shove this down people's throats, shit like error 37 happens. My roommate spent 60 dollars on the game, he shouldn't have to wait for Blizzard to get things running smoothly.

 

[ShadyLurker]

if you tap A rapidly it improves your odds! or thats what the kid on the bus said.

hold A as soon as it says authenticated.

 

[Anth0ny]

spoiler: title screen is inferno mode

 

[Aesthet1c]

Has anyone actually even logged into the game yet? pass the character create screen? If so I guess they wont even see this and they are in bliss.

I have a friend in ventrilo with me who is playing right now.

I'm still stuck at character creation.

 

[Calidor]

who the FUCK thought that it was good idea to launch the to the whole Americas (whole, you know, like me in Argentina) at the same time?!

 

[goldensun]

The official "Retrieving Hero List" theme song for me right now.

:lol

I lied guys, I thought I was in when I posted I was, but I'm just stuck on char select screen

 

[Acidote]

Here I am, at the office, and unable to play for the next eight hours.

Meh
