All good demons go to... um... sequel? - Diablo 3 Announced

triggercut · 2012-05-15T00:09:20.000Z

Yep, timed out in creation, then timed out in hero retrieval.

mystery · 2012-05-15T00:09:31.000Z

Yep, in but can’t create characters.

mtkafka · 2012-05-15T00:10:23.000Z

still retrieving my hero list… hmmmmm. AHHH TIME OUT 3006. try again!

MrPerson · 2012-05-15T00:11:44.000Z

Same, in, but times out on character creation. Not a great queue system apparently.

On a semi-related note, the character name restrictions have some issues. They’re aggressively filtering harmless substrings.

wow maybe i shouldnt have taken a vacation day for this… :-(

charmtrap · 2012-05-15T00:14:08.000Z

Asia and Europe cleared up pretty quick by all reports.

pyrhic · 2012-05-15T00:14:51.000Z

Was in, timed out on heroes.

Sure am glad they made this online…

Server’s been up for 15 minutes. You knew this would happen.

Show some sand.

pogozorro · 2012-05-15T00:15:01.000Z

It took around 30-60 minutes for Asia and Europe to smooth out, although none were complaining of the timeouts at character creation.

mtkafka · 2012-05-15T00:15:18.000Z

cool, i just made it to char creation screen… trying to make a female monk… gah! more errors!

Badesumofu · 2012-05-15T00:15:48.000Z

I managed to get to character creation, but it just keeps timing out. I actually thought that Blizzard would manage to get this working from the beginning, a little dissapointed.

Dammit Blizz, WangChung the monk wants to kick some ass

charmtrap · 2012-05-15T00:18:24.000Z

The forums aren’t even responding. No doubt clogged by all the QQ.

mtkafka · 2012-05-15T00:19:09.000Z

you know i deliberately didnt follow alot of DIII previews and such… kinda cool you can make a male/female version of each class… yup still waiting to create my female monk.

StGabe · 2012-05-15T00:19:36.000Z

Was stuck at login for a long time, finally got in. Looks like hero creation / hero list retrieval is the bottleneck. Hopefully it’ll clear up.

aeneas · 2012-05-15T00:22:43.000Z

I imagine we are all stuck in the character creation screen…

Millions of us.

MrPerson · 2012-05-15T00:24:02.000Z

Yup. It doesn’t seem to have any proper queuing system on character creation, so the end result is even more load as people manually keep hammering it. Fuck, even if you can’t keep everyone in a server side queue hand back a splay time and have the client auto-submit it again.

W_Wiley · 2012-05-15T00:24:40.000Z

Well at least The Singing Nun is on TCM.
