So uh. Hey you guys.

Careful.

 

[gimmmick]

Damn you blizzard =\

 

[Juice]

First time I got in, I made a character and waited ~15 minutes. Closed the game, tried logging in and after about 5 minutes I got in and my character was there! woo!

It's a trap! I will not quit out and go back in!

 

[Fou-Lu]

I'll get in eventually, persistence will win out. Then my partner won't have gotten in and I'll have to wait for her. *sigh*

 

[tycoonheart]

I'M INNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!! AND PLAYING MY BARB!!

WOOT!

Like 20th try on the 3006 error.

 

[Reluctant-Hero]

This is worse than Pearl Harbor.

Woooooooow....

 

[cpp_is_king]

That seems to me to be missing the point. Blizzard could easily have designed the game so that people could play single player offline. They didn't, largely to prevent piracy and somewhat in order to encourage RMAH use. It's perfectly legitimate for people to be upset about Blizzard delivering a product that works less well than it could in order to add "features" that don't actually make the people who bought the game much better off.

At minimum, if you're going to force always-online in order to stop pirates, you really need to be going all-out to make sure that you're not inconveniencing paying customers.

I think they are willing to suffer the consequences of a 1 hour inconvenience in return for preventing piracy.

 

[Bringer Of Bacon]

cant tell if serious

SERIOUS. this is going to look really bad for blizzard and noone is gonna buy it now cause you CANT EVEN PLAY IT

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

So uh. Hey you guys.

[KAP151]

Fuck this, imma make some dinner.

I hate you Blizzard (temporarily).

[markot]

Always online drm to the rescue!

 

[kever0nicas]

it sucks that Diablo 3 is the first singleplayer game with server issues at launch

Fixed.

 

[Archer]

nerd rage

 

[LowParry]

Stay awhile and listen...

So good.

 

[endresults]

Turning the server fuckup into a fun little roulette game. Choosing a different class after every error. Now not only do I NOT know if I'll ever get in, I don't know what class I'll be if I do.

 

[user8503492]

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.

Holy shit...I feel like you just decibed my every action for the last 30 minutes lol

 

[Jobacca]

On the Diablo 3 forum:

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

I think they are really saying:

"We don't want to put up with everyone on the forum!!"

 

[TheExodu5]

You'd think Blizzard could manage to have a login queue in place...

 

[Durante]

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.

That's a rather weak excuse. Someone with foresight could e.g. design the server infrastructure so that it runs on the cloud, and automatically only ever rents as much capacity as is required at a given moment in time.

 

[Goreomedy]

This is worse than Pearl Harbor.

I don't know.... That had Cuba AND Affleck....

 

[Gotchaye]

I think they are willing to suffer the consequences of a 1 hour inconvenience in return for preventing piracy.

And people who are paying Blizzard and who are suffering that inconvenience for no gain are annoyed. Yeah, what Blizzard's doing is rational. Being annoyed by it still makes perfect sense.

 

[inky]

Oh God, the corporate apologist showed up already. Time for bed.

You'd think Blizzard could manage to have a login queue in place...

You'd think so...

 

[StoppedInTracks]

So this is the biggest Blizzard launch in history? The sales numbers must be massive. I wonder when the US servers will be online.

 

[Orca]

PC really is a lot more advanced than console. Just imagine how many sandwiches we'll be able to make before we can play.

 

[Ferrio]

I can't get past error 37 anymore.

 

[AzureNightmare]

 

[ShipTheCheese]

I think nobody's talking about playing the game, because they're.. you know, playing the game

 

[fuzzyreactor]

GOD DAMMNNIT!!!!

just got booted back to login from character creation screen


fix this shit blizzard

 

[K.Sabot]

Kevin Pereira says that Blizzard says that reinstalling will fix the error#300008

WHAT DO?

 

[zethren]

Error 37...

I never asked for this.

 

[LProtag]

It was fun being a part of this with you GAF. I'm going to go sleep now.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

#1 worldwide trend on Twitter:

#error37

 

[mrgone]

Stress tested and testing your stress

 

[DeSo]

Error 37 is just too tough a boss.

 

[NZNova]

I'll just create an offline character to play while I wait for the servers to stabilize.

Oh, wait.

Well, maybe I'll get started developing my cool D3 mod.

Oh, wait...

 

[Juice]

That's a rather weak excuse. Someone with foresight could e.g. design the server infrastructure so that it runs on the cloud, and automatically only ever rents as much capacity as is required at a given moment in time.

Someone with foresight would give GAF users privileged access.

 

[UberTag]

I think nobody's talking about playing the game, because they're.. you know, playing the game

I'm playing the Create Hero, Wait for Timeout game.
I give it a 6 out of 10.

 

[demolitio]

Now I know why those creepy nerds were wasting so much time trying to hit on the chick working at GS...They knew the whole time that they wouldn't be able to play tonight so they created their own level 1 boss.

No seriously, they made me wait 15 extra minutes while they talked about how they have no girl statues in their collection. Finally the guy in the line next to me realized I was waiting a while and let me go compared to the other people who created two lines instead of one.

I ain't get no respect you know?

 

[Donthizz#]

This is fun...

 

[Shaundakahl]

So b.net is down, apparently all of it, and now twitter is down, too. DIII is bringing down all the internets tonight.

 

[Calidor]

I think I'm going to fap and go to sleep. Fuck this

 

[Slayer-33]

wtf LOL

 

[Orca]

Kevin Pereira says that Blizzard says that reinstalling will fix the error#300008

WHAT DO?

That's a great idea. Hey while I'm off doing that you're not going to be trying to log in still, are you?

 

[Terrordactyl]

PC really is a lot more advanced than console. Just imagine how many sandwiches we'll be able to make before we can play.

Nice avatar

Spoiler

not

 

[B-Dex]

40 mins still nothing....

 

[Hazaro]

Unable to create due to party state?
That's new.

Basically a blue item.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Stay awhile and listen...

http://www.twitch.tv/towelliee

So good.

Yes, this is good.

 

[picklecannon]

The chances to get in right now are about the same chances you had of a high rune dropping in diablo 2.

 

[STANKYJ]

this destroyed me with laughter. 37 can eat a dick.
