They’re capturing the Diablo 3 launch nostalgia perfectly
Lessons learned by blizzard after every expansion and game launch: 0
What did you expect?
Whoa, you can go have dinner…
So the queue system works.
It’s a beta, isn’t it?
No shit, it’s the first batch of players in an online game. Literally happens *every time*.
But sure, farm your “Blizzard bad” karma lol.
I understand it’s cool to give blizzard shit but this isn’t early access it’s a fucking beta lol
Didn’t people have to preorder the game to get into this?
What did you expect ?
*blizzard user* First time?
They still haven’t scaled the servers properly, it’s going to be like this until they do. Plus bug fixong.
Stop karma-whoring and go do something productive while you wait.
Tbh I completely forgot about D4 after they showed their greed with Diablo immortal and overwatch 2
For those playing Diablo 4, I hope you enjoy yourself and hope blizzard makes a better game without going overboard again
I thought people were boycotting Blizzard games anyway?
It’s a beta weekend that’s been open for an hour at the time you made this post.
Brainless.
If you thought you were logging in flawlessly, you’re an idiot.
If you took today off to play, you’re an idiot.
118min queue, finally get in, watch intro trailer and crash. Back to a 105min queue now again
Congrats, you understand the purpose of a stress test now.
When will you ppl learn lol
D3 launch ptsd lol
People who are surprised by this.
First time?
Diablo 2 resurrected wait times were in the multiple hours and that was after they realized their servers were dying from people making games over and over again to farm bosses. You know, the thing players had been doing in D2 for twenty years. Completely unforeseeable issues. /s
First time?
They know their severs can’t handle stress but they give like a million kfc enjoyers a beta key
Well I got free access when I got a sandwich from KFC so I’m not really that upset
At this point I can only assume you people have a deep passionate hatred for yourselves and pray for the sweet embrace of eternal darkness. Why else would you put yourselves through this very predictable experience?
Why do people continue to buy into this crap, then complain about it?

What do you expect from a poor indie company.
What have we learned today, class? Yes, that OP is dumb!
Seriously, you consciously put early access in your title dude, think about it.
Early access isn’t about getting the game first. You’re opting in to be a playtester. Stress test, identify bugs, device compatibility, and many more. If you don’t like that experience, then don’t get early access.
Blizzard appreciates your pre order.
I feel like every time a major game like this comes out, this happens and everyone acts surprised. This will always happen because why would they pay for more servers only for them to be needed on the first week and now they are renting servers that won’t ever be filled again
47 minutes later while you’re in the bathroom:
LOGGED OUT FOR 60 SECONDS OF INACTIVITY
[removed]
I hate that you need to be online to play this game…
[At least it isn’t error 37](https://youtu.be/GsqUZkmO-zk)
People acting like waiting in a queue is the end of the fucking world holy shit. Just like, jack off or something. I’m sure it will be done by then.
Genuinely, why do people always feel the need to make these posts when any new game opens up to be played by the masses? Aside from farming imaginary internet points, of course.
You KNOW what you’re getting into… If you don’t, you’re extremely clueless. They’re not gonna stress test maximum capacity right off the bat. Literally no company ever has.
At least I have chicken.
oh no a hyped up multiplayer game has a queue to get in thats really tragic! meanwhile people forget that ff14 had all of its servers fill up back in 2021 and it got so bad they removed it from shops for awhile.
Nice try, Blizzard.
This is the main reason I already decided long ago that if i’ll play diablo 4, i’ll be waiting atleast a week or two after the actual launch. Should theoretically be enough for the servers to stabilize.
I don’t want to seem like I know the inner workings of all this – but this happens with every new release that has limited server capacity. I can’t imagine it is companies being surprised by the demand. And I also don’t think companies are simply too cheap. There is a short period of time where the demand is extremely high. That decreases drastically the next couple of days and weeks. You need a system that works both for the initial rush and the much slower time later that also makes financial sense.
So basically: expect this every time, don’t take time off work, don’t preorder. If you can’t stand queues, wait a couple of weeks.
Y’all can downvote me all you want but it’s called a Beta TEST. So you should fully expect bugs, crashes and queues. Especially queues. They can’t get the testing done if the servers are overloaded by too many players. Anyone complaining about this is an entitled child.
Why did you expect anything else?
90% of popular launches/betas are like this. Seems incredibly naive to assume otherwise.
