I could watch Kratos Monk's idle animation all night! Woo!

 

[Soule]

JUST LET ME INNNNNNN!!!!


hnnnngggghhhh

 

[cluto]

This is the worst thing that's ever happened.

 

[toastyToast]

Let me unleash MumboJumbo on the world god damn it

 

[Juice]

still error 3006'ing on the hero screen.

 

[Chiggs]

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

Why do that when you can just be a bunch of cheap, penny-pinching fucks without an ounce of decency or professionalism?

 

[KaYotiX]

You people all act surprised that this would happen.

Really, guys?

i KNEW it would happen, its why i dont care that i have to wait for my copies later on today. By the time i log on all of it should be sorted out.

 

[Magnus]

LMFAO

Zarhym ‏ @CM_Zarhym
#error37 is trending globally. :x

 

[lordy88]

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

Fucking win right here. Awesome.

 

[GorillaJu]

Runs slightly better than the beta did for me.

 

[CSX]

Error 3005 for the past 30 minutes...

 

[K.Sabot]

I'm afraid to create my character for fear of being sent back to login.

 

[2Crisis]

Everyone should tweet @BlizzardCS and bitch about this.

lol this will accomplish absolutely nothing.

 

[Archer]

Error 37 deez nuts

 

[Economan]

one does not simply stop trying to log in

Too true

 

[UberTag]

Error 3006 is also trending. Gotta love that Twitter!

 

[zroid]

I like that we're going to end up with an OT2 by sunrise thanks to error messages

 

[cpp_is_king]

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

Except that there's no problem. This is how it works. It's completely ridiculous to expect them to spent millions of dollars in infrastructure to buid out a system that can handle the needs of a <12 hour usage spike that is about 10 orders of magnitude higher than anything else the game will experience.

 

[Schweinehund]

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?!

Really hope this works out within the hour, friends and I are waiting around .

 

[Charoncaori]

I'm having Kraftwerk flashbacks.

 

[KAP151]

We are aware the http://Battle.net sites are in maintenance. No ETA when they will be available Updates to follow.

Ahh cmon Blizzard, this is a complete clusterfuck...

 

[B-Dex]

Thank OT2 for Blizz launch failure yet again. 3rd time in a day is a charm I guess.

 

[OmnipotentO]

http://us.battle.net/d3/forum/?src=launcher.d3 welp... their site is down too...
fuck everything about this always online bullshit

BlizzardCS &#8207; @BlizzardCS

[mysteriousmage09]

 

[rCIZZLE]

Stuck @ character creation.

 

[Archer]

LOL at battle net going offline

 

[Beelzeboss]

I'm afraid to create my character for fear of being sent back to login.

you just get sent back to the character creator so create away.

 

[BannedEpisode]

Did you guys really not expect this?

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

"The Blizzard family of websites is currently undergoing maintenance to improve your browsing experience. Thank you for your patience!"

HAHAHAHAHA!

 

[bloodforge]

To hell with this shit, I'll try later.

 

[FinKL]

[JaseC]

You'll be there for a while.

Beats being at the main menu, in any case!

(not mine)

LOL

 

[LowParry]

This will be a long day remembered. Cherish the moments that we all share GAF.

 

[cr_blah_blah]

Character creation screen finally! Time for this dream to get dashed like my initial accepting of license agreements did.

 

[Houston3000]

Think I'm gonna go ahead and just watch some Mad Men or somethin'

Give you guys a clear line to create your characters and I'll try again in 20 minutes or so

 

[GhostRidah]

This mini game of logging in is currently beating my ass, I guess this is the first boss in d3

 

[Goreomedy]

Is this what a launch pad explosion looks like?

 

[Cartman86]

Battle.net username one character too long? FUCK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Jackl]

(not mine)

Be more accurate with 90% of the gerbils trampling themselves to death with 2 making it out alive.

 

[Schweinehund]

Did you guys really not expect this?

I think they invented queues in 2004 when they launched world of warcraft.

 

[LightofRohan]

Really the games been out for like 30 minutes - a few hours. And everyone is connecting all at once and people are surprised that there are problems.

Goddam white people problems. It's amazing this thing is even out.

 

[zroid]

and so begins the next wave.

300008
3006

team attack

 

[depths20XX]

It's completely ridiculous to expect them to spent millions of dollars in infrastructure to buid out a system that can handle the needs of a <12 hour usage spike that is about 10 orders of magnitude higher than anything else the game will experience.

Exactly. lol @ people flipping their shit about this.

 

[2Crisis]

maybe with everyone giving up I'll be able to get in. Mwahahaha

 

[Juice]

Unfortunately for Blizzard, they've trained all of their fans to keep clicking the same thing over and over even when no positive reinforcement is given.

Not sure when the traffic will subside.

 

[UberTag]

My current routine...

1. Click Create Hero.
2. Alt-TAB
3. F5 on NeoGAF D3 thread.
4. Read bitching.
5. Smile and nod.
6. Alt-TAB back to D3, get 300008. Wait 15 seconds. Get 3006.
7. Repeat Step 1.
