Important - Templar Bug
Heads up everything, this is important. If you are playing the Demon Hunter, do not give your follower a shield until after the Templar kills Jondar. You will be disconnected, and will not be able to sign back on. However, some report that even waiting till after this point, the big will still happen.

It's a very specific issue. You'd need to a) create a Demon Hunter, loot a shield, and then c) trade it to your templar before killing Jondar and hiring him. If you avoid just one of those requirements, you should be able to avoid this particular disconnect.
That is not true though. Yes - I had a DH, Yes - I looted a shield, Yes - I gave it to the templar BUT AFTER killing Jondar and after hiring him (had the dialogue box with the Yes/No option). It was actually a few minutes after Jondar died, as I remember giving my Templar a blue Axe and later on trying to give him a shield.
I'll pass this information along to Quality Assurance. Thanks for the additional details!
How did could this have possibly slipped past quality control?
The will of the templar is stronger!
- When playing a Demon Hunter, giving a shield to your Templar before you kill Jondar and hire him can disconnect you from Battle.net.

Diablo III Cake
Today is the day we have all been waiting for. Why not enjoy some cake while we play! Obie sent this over to us. You can see another picture of this cake on its website.
kudos to you for being patient so you could play with them w/o the big level gap
I used a program called Do It Again to spam logins until it got me in...prob took around 40 mins as well.
I could have sworn I attempted to give my DH's follower (before we killed Jondar) a shield but I guess I didn't because I never got disconnected once I was able to finally get into a game.
Such a piss off. Hate taking a day off to have it half gone by downtime.
Does anyone know of a way to unlock HC before level 10? My friends are currently playing HC without problems.
I'm kind of amused that anyone would expect blizzard to meet ANY of their initial deadlines. Im callin it now, 5pm pdt before this "issue" is fixed
I'm very happy now.
What you do on most every Blizzard release day - just add a day to the date, take that one off. You'll have plenty of time to slap demons around for the next 10 years. I went to bed on-time and will get home from work on-time. Tomorrow I expect servers to be stable and up as I have my day off to play all day and evening.
I don't think it's acceptable that we cut them the slack, as you've put it, they've released MANY games in the past, and this happens every single time. Am I the only person here who sees a problem with that? Especially after all of the "Stress Testing" they have done, this should have gone a HELL of a lot smoother than it is. To me this screams upper managment saying "what's the LEAST amount of resources needed for launch day" rather than "what's the HIGHEST number of people we are expecting launch day"
