Server DOWN again

Thankfully I'm at work, so I spared myself the dissapointment this time.

Yowza. My favorite comment in yesterday's "the issue is now resolved" thread on Blizz's Twitter was someone saying "See you tomorrow!".

Too true.

So removing TCP/IP to prevent botting/duping was a terrible decision I see.

Time to turn into an workaholic and stay far away from home!

Hahaha. They're basically scheduled at this point.

A lot was said.

Hopefully this kind of engagement is a sign of better and more open discussion on the issues rather than generic Twitter updates.

Sincerity can be felt and as players who supported with our wallets we can tell the difference.

I love how they always say "we're players of the game ourselves." Well yeah, I would kind of assume that as a bare minimum from any gamedev, let alone a remaster of a game that has such a passionate fan-base.

I love the bit about how much they didn't expect the modern player base to all be doing 20 sec Pindleruns en masse. Lol.

Yeah, quite frankly it's insulting.

Maybe it's a good thing that I'm not even playing.

They mean it.

The weekend is here! You know what that means, Battle.net!

I don't wanna wait in line. I don't wanna!

But, with that latest patch... they seemed to have even broken the offline play. I ran into multiple crashes this afternoon. All with offline characters after giving up on online play.
The crashes themselves are also weird and troublesome if you contemplate on playing hardcore: the screen goes back to the loading screen at the start of the game (black with the d2r logo at the bottom right) but the sound implicate the game is still running, you just don't see anything.
I could play perfectly fine the last few days for multiple hours per day, so it seems to be introduced with the queue-patch of today. Seems I have to go back to Grim Dawn to play some ARPG for the time being.

I haven't experienced any issues with offline. Acutally, with the implementation of the queue system, it basically forced me to play offline. No way I'm waiting in queue to play, especially when you are like number 34, but it still takes 10 minutes.

 

[Zaine]

Queues haven't bothered me too much. I log in when I don't intend to play, or need to do chores or something. Then I'm logged in and ready to go when I'm done (queue times anywhere between 2-45 mins experienced so far). I also haven't been crashing nearly as much once in the game. Prior to this system it was a few times an hour, which was brutal.
