I doubt this is anything other than they expected. I love that I can take basic psychology 101 lessons and read a ton into people's reactions on these and other forums. This is exactly what they expected for the stress test. Your issue is that YOU, precious little snowflakes, can't get into the beta, while others can.
They did say stress test. They did say you'll likely have issues getting in and with latency. All things happening.
And im disappointed to myself, to think people would understand that THIS KIND OF CR@P were expected...its not just a "hey everyone come try the game", but more of a 'come HELP us TEST the servers so we can be SURE it wont happen on launch day'...
Im thankful these bugs/errors/problems in general are happening NOW and not in may 15.
Disappointed to Blizzard ? no, im pleased they are testing before.
Things will go unexpected most of time, even with companies like NASA and Intel backing you up. I am guessing Blizzard making head counts and setting up the bar for queues on launch day. So that people can be put into queues rather than keep getting errors. The other aspect is the login server which usually handles more critical data than game server on launch day is gonna be bunked up with more hardware. Blizzard could be trying to estimate the cost of these hardwares right now, which could be part of the goal of this beta from the financial view.
Hang tough? lol ok, Seeya's online in like 5-6 hours they mean if the maintenance a couple days ago is any indictation of how long it takes for them to fix their clusterf**ks
People, relaaaaaaaaax. It's a, wait for it, STRESS test!
on the players?
yes, i would think the players and the developers... its good to be frustrated now in beta then when release hits. Anyways i got in to the character create screen, got disconnected. Finally got back into logging in and trying to create a monk and I'm waiting again. be patient it will work. I had a witch doctor made and now I'm in it with him. good luck
