AYAYAYYAYAYAY *FLAILS ARMS*

I will be playing most of the weekend too!

F*CKING A I cant play cuz stupid exams next week

anyone been able to login and play yet?

not yet...it says the servers are busy

Going to give this a try. *please don't be gay, please don't be gay*

I just started letting my brother play since everything will be reset and offline on the 1st. i still rage when im waiting for him to finish playing on my computer -_-

just finished the beta...this game is gonna be good...im most likely going to get it :D

my only complaint is the beta is too short :( only took me about 2 hours to play through

What a useless Beta! Hey eveyone please come play our free beta weekend, so we can shut down the servers so you can't play on the limited free time weekend. I know it's a beta, but the point of the free beta was not for testing but to PR the game to the communities to increase launch sales. So far I would say Disaster! The loyal fan base will be there, but it's the fringe players and new players to Diablo they want to get, but you can't with Error 37 messages at load in, lol. If I was new to the Diablo world I would not be buying the game at launch after spending hours trying to log into there servers of the first of a two day free weekend to server problems. Blizzard is usually good about this stuff, I wonder who dropped the ball on this one, lol.

Reynolds, the point of the free beta is to stress test the systems. Pretty much from the get-go they were fucked so they had to take it offline to un-fuck themselves.

if you get an error 12, change your battle.net password and try again

Error 37 and then error 3004 which supposedly means wrong region but actually means Blizzard took it down.

It says right on the login screen. They capped the number of players so they didnt blow shit up. I played WoW for years and never had any problems with login or anything like that, i doubt D3 will be much of a change. Keep in mind these are only the beta servers, things should be more stable come launch. The beta is just a teaser anyways with just enough content to get hooked and finish and be like wtf I WANT MORE!

That's what they tell you, but I worked in the industry for years. This is a PR campaign more then a stress test and so far they have failed miserably. The capped test could have been done with the closed beta but for them to do it during a free weekend beta show off is just bad PR.

hes got a point on this one. i have already have the game on pre-order standing.. but if i was new to this crap i wouldnt deal with it after this weekend. i have a job and a life outside of D3, to put a stress test during the Only times i can actually Test this shit is completely retarded. the Closed beta was there to get all the testing out of the way, not open it to everyone and not already be prepared for what was going to launch at them.

So Coach, was it gay?

How can you stress test something that has such a low player cap as a closed beta? You open up the floodgates when you let the public in. It really is a possibility but seeing as how you've 'been there before', I'll give y'all the benefit of the doubt. Either way, played it for an hour last night, shit is boss as hell.
