everytime i try to log in it stops on retrieving hero list and then says lost connection anyone else having this problem or is the ptr just down still?
Ye aparently they couldnt fix it in time, and went to bed i guess. hope they wake up soon to fix it!
PTR does not receive the same priority as the Live servers. When a problem occurs on the standard Live servers, there are a number of Blizzard employees on-call that will have to drop whatever it is they're doing and come in to address the issue.
PTR will never receive the same attention. They will do what they can, but will not pay overtime and approach the issue with the same sense of urgency.
PS: Blizzard is headquartered in Irvine, California. They should arrive between 6am-8am PST. Whatever the issue, they're likely on it as I type this.

Also having this issue. Do not know if it is because the PTR is still down. Have not seen confirmation of someone able to log in yet.
Same issue. Hangs on retrieving hero list for a few mins. Then Input Limit Reached.
Same here.. retrieving hero list.. input then try 2 log in again.. any of u know when this will be fixt? blizz answer !
It's not an issue. The PTR is offline, no point trying to log in untill they say it's back up. AFAIK it has been down for 8+ hours already.
Thanks Fehfeh, I'm having the same problem, glad to know it's not another bug. Hopefully the Terminated Game is fixed! Fingers crossed.
ah ok
nice to know

They brought the PTR servers offline on purpose, and even told people about it. This was done for maintenance reasons I'm sure.
