1.0 Server Status Thread

I don’t know what I can and can’t say with how sensitive and PC the world is now, but what an ignorant and moronic comment.

If I work and earn time off, vacation days, sick days, whatever, and I want to use it for something that I enjoy, I will. Gaming is no different than any other hobby, you take time off to go skiing/snowboarding? To go travelling? To hike? That’s literally no different.

Games have been proven scientifically to provide the same, if not more, beneficial results as other interests - including improving memory, memory recall, reasoning, spacial skills, hand eye cooridination, and a ton of other things. You can forge life long social connections and network amazing friendships and colleagues.

Lmao, if you wanna talk about people having priorities backwards, it’s people like you wearing clown paint on their face making ridiculous uninformed comments like the one you shared. Good job, clown.

You devs are doing great! I get that people are frustrated but these things happen. Kindness and patience don’t cost us anything. Looking forward to playing in a few hours once I’ve dropped the babies off at school :slight_smile:

okay. And now do it in a budget, knowing the peak wil subside and the extra hardware you buy will not be needed after a week. 150l gamers who spam the login and transition screens at the speed of ligth is a challenge most large publishers with endless server parks have a hard time to get right. Its network, where the weakest link determines the capacity, it might be just a piece of software at the provider of internet that bugs out under that load. You cant actually simulate it

I know. And this is why playing offline is not a solution, as some here suggest

why would you wake up that early just to play a newly launched game when everyone knows day 1 launches are always buggy and bad connection issues.
thats on you man for not thinking this through…

nearly every multiplayer game with a modicum of popularity has server congestion issues because testing and load projection are highly imperfect and you can’t account for every eventuality, even critical issues. you’re contributing nothing and gaining nothing by going on some endless diatribe against EHG for having the same issue that virtually every other major developer (which EHG isn’t) still faces with nearly every major launch. you’re being obtuse and entitled by thinking that somehow you’re different, and it’s certainly entitled to just come and complain/whine when all it takes to avoid being that petulant child is the barest minimum of sense, decency, and generally just not being obtuse to everything except what you want NOW.

Good post and I agree. I do have to admit that a launch day for gaming seems a bit of a gamble in my opinion for taking a day off and expecting to spend all your time playing the game. Which you can, by the way, but it might not be the full experience you have been hoping for.

You are free to take time off from work and enjoy your time off. My comment is directed at those that took time off to play a video game on Launch Day and then complain when it doesn’t work out.

Hope that clarifies my post. See? I didn’t even need to use the word “Moron” to get my point across.

Im not here to bad mouth anyone I know its going to take time to get things working. I do have one issue and I am just wondering if it is game related. Ever since the 1.0 update if I launch the game in steam it crashes my pc (shuts it down). Has anyone read anything about this or experiencing the same thing?

I am sure the team is working hard on getting the issues resolved. First few days of a new launch are generally buggy. Do I wish I could play sure but I understand and expected there would be issues, so I am in no way upset with them. They do have an amazing game and an amazing team. They will get the issues fixed.

Playing offline is a perfectly reasonable option. Most know that when it comes to ARPGs, you will end up making multiple characters. And in a game with the option for SSF, it is a way to experience the game still and have fun with it, just without access to market functionalities. And when servers are online and accessible again, you make a new character and grind up to the point again. Since, grinding up characters don’t take all that long, at least personally in other ARPG’s.

Yes, exactly, why are you upset? Every other studio is also incompetent. Why should EHG be an exception?

to b honest we all know there would b server issue on first day, totally understandable, if diablo 4 had same issue on day 1, im not gonna give this game shit for having same problem consider the size of the company, just hoping the server will be up by night time so we can enjoy it~

Why is the game working for the streamers, but not the common people?

I left my wife to play the game today and the SERVER IS DOWN? Is EHG going to compensate me for my marriage? This is a SLAP IN THE FACE.
