So, I was unable to post on the official forums and my Diablo 3 character wouldn't show up on the list until I signed off and then signed back on. Now that I'm able to post on the official forums, this is what I posted for my first official thread.
Since some people don't seem know what to expect from an online game , when Blizz say "We expect game services to fully return by approximately 11:45 p.m. PDT" don't be surprised if the servers aren't open at that time! I just have a feeling people will bitch about servers not being up at that time just like they are bitching now, and well those people are foolish in my opinion.
What do you expect from the current generation? It is mostly made of spoiled and impatient brats.
it will, the big wigs aren't willing to spend the money on a decent amount of reliable servers to handle the massive flood of people they idiotically let in all at once.
And how do you know what they are spending on? Please don't spread your ignorance around like that.
I might be missing something, but why is it thst video games are the only product that its acceptable to release with issues like this. When apple released the iphone 3g, the activation servers couldnt handle the load and people were unable to use their phones for days. Why was that unacceptable, but people are defending blizzard. You can say all you want about people knowing there was no offline mode, or how difficult it is to plan ahead for server load, but at the end of the day, you have several million people who paid for a product that they are unable to use.
If you bought a new car, that you could only sit and look at for the first 2 or 3 days you owned it because the manfacturer didn't account for the amount of keys they would have to produce, you would be pretty upset. Why should blizzard be any different? Ive built data centers for double click and goldmann sachs which were turned on and open to millions of connections, and worked right from the get go, because low and behold, they had to. In most bussiness downtime is completely unacceptable, why do we tolerate it here, and why do people feel the need to defend it?
If you're preparing for a release like this, and you dont make sure that you are prepared for every contingency, despite the cost, well thats just a poor bussiness model and you should be ashamed.
^ This. A faulty product is a faulty product. Expecting to get what you paid for is not whining,
Video game companies are buisniesses like everyone else who pitches products, the only difference is that their target market is teenagers and very young adults who dont understand that reliability and punctuality are EVERYTHING in the business world, and by constantly missing deadlines and delivering unreliable products, blizzard is presenting themselves as one of the most unprofessional businesses out there.
Unreliable products? Missing deadlines? You don't know what you are talking about. I mean... are you talking about Blizzard here? They push back games because they are not ready for release and because they believe the "said" game could be much better. They "miss" deadlines because Blizzard doesn't want to make half-assed products. Unreliable products? lol oh man, what the fuck are you smoking? If you are so butt hurt due to some small server crashes (surprise!), just uninstall the game and don't even buy a Blizzard product again. SEE YA! I'll be here enjoying their games, patiently and unspoiled.
Can someone help me figure out this problem please? I searched google but I couldn't find any solutions to my problem, which is not being able to post on the official Diablo 3 forums. I have Diablo 3 Collector's Edition active and attached to my account, and yet I am unable to post or reply. All I see is a bunch of WoW characters on the right side but my WoW account is currently inactive.
I was actually surprised and excited at the same time when that unique bracer I posted dropped for me. Also, I don't fully remember but I think the armor is way higher than what is posted on the wiki. My Steady Strikers had 33 armor I think, I'll double check when the servers come back on.
