A Beta used to test network and server stability and stress is one thing, Asking people to preorder the game to have access to the beta and have it not work, is another.

If you are asking people to preorder to get access there should be a reasonable assumption that the beta will at least be playable.

Especially when there's stuff like that dog backpack that you can unlock through the beta.

Wolcen is like $11 dollars now.

This isn't, but is also really fun and doesn't have the recognition of PoE or Grim Dawn yet:

Played to lvl5 Rouge. Super positive on this on the little I've played. Runs great on my 3070ti laptop (100+ fps with dlss quality) and looks fantastic. Can't wait to get stuck in proper later on, if the severs don't shit the bed.

They know how many preorders and they know how many codes they've given out.

Just scale the server loads on that demand

just scale it 4Head. Its not that easy obviously. As long as there are online games, there will be login and server issues aswell.

I fully expected there to be long queues but the “breaking news” window basically saying “we know the queue timer is broke, it’ll be better next week” had me rolling my eyes.

Well, waited 45 minutes through the queue....now stuck on a circling 'queue' icon for the last 10 minutes.

Glad I took off work for this.

Blizzard owes me a days pay!!

The sound design is motherfucking cheff kiss. And voice acting is pure delikatessen, Lorath Narh voice is top notch.

Also REAALLYY liking the absolute darker tone of the game and the story that's not just White and Black. With Lilith not being the pure evil nor Inarius being the pure good.

Fuck me.

8 minute queue. Got in just after it opened up. Made a character and watched the opening cutscenes. Started walking around and looking at menus and DC’d for no apparent reason.

55 minute queue. Get all the way to “logging in to Diablo 4”. Get error 300008.

104 minute queue. The true blizzard experience. This game plays just like the classics.

Reminds me of the old World of Warcraft days. Pissed me off to no end.

Can't believe people expected this beta to be a smooth experience. Did you learn NOTHING from D3's launch?

Lemme guess, preorder early access was more expensive than standard edition?

played an hour or so

I reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeereeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeereeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeereeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeereeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeereeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeereeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeereeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeereeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally dont think this game is going to go down well with fans of d2.

I mean it's basically d3 again... combat wise at least. Going to try barb and see if its any better but yeh I wont be paying $79 for this. PoE2 looks way better.

Yes. Clearly it wasn't enough because it didn't deter enough of you fuckers.

Why am I in a queue on console if I want to play offline and alone? Can't they just make a quick license check and be done with it? I don't want to be on their servers.

I'm already seeing couch co-op sessions blown up because of server issues in the future.

Uhm. Aren't you asking the wrong people this question. There's someone who REALLY needed to be asked this and have an answer and they aren't in this thread, let alone this forum.

People are reporting if you stay on character screen, you can still play, so it must be the login servers being battered. If it is then that's easily fixable so fingers crossed
