Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • psims60 Patrick Sims (@psims60) reported

    @BlizzardCS There seems to be a large number of people stuck in game. Any update on a fix?

  • Mundanedanny Danny (@Mundanedanny) reported

    @BlizzardCS Don’t worry folks who have locked or inaccessible characters. I’m still getting the generic “having trouble connecting to server bs. Check your internet.” Yeah it’s my internet, check yo servers. 😔

  • ShaneBuchman Last Rights (@ShaneBuchman) reported

    @BlizzardCS Everyone please Share this post as much as possible on twitter. Lets make sure everyone knows about the countless problems everyone is having with this game. We need to make sure blizzard gets as much bad PR as possible and starts losing money. only then will they fix it.

  • aticus1695 Aticus (@aticus1695) reported

    @BlizzardCS Really disappointed with what happened this afternoon with maintenance. Everything fine for days but now my main is locked and new characters can't make games... please fix this fast.

  • Warlin851 Warlin85 (@Warlin851) reported

    @Quillen_Clan @BlizzardCS They have to manually free every character. They can’t reset servers because it added to the issue. It took 9 hours for my chars to be unlocked on Friday. Some people have claimed even longer. What a terribly sad mess this launch is.

  • RealSheeva Sheeva Kamini (@RealSheeva) reported

    @AaronMi91826846 @BlizzardCS That's not how this works, nor an accurate representation of the problem. Moreover the employees at Blizzard are far too stupid to actually be able to do anything with the solution, if it were presented to them. Stay in your lane.

  • mateogarcia21g1 mateo.garcia.21@gmail.com (@mateogarcia21g1) reported

    @BlizzardCS Joined 1 game, back to the same ****. What are you guys doing? This is day 4 of a AAA dev release and the same issues persist. Widespread refunds need to be offered at this point.

  • Yohan47282380 Yohan (@Yohan47282380) reported

    @BlizzardCS I haven’t had the communicating error until now.. after the maintenance?? On console btw

  • Darchona Shawn Bridges (@Darchona) reported

    @BlizzardCS That's funny I was playing just fine untill maintenance. Now I still get the same message I get when the servers are down 👎 total online play that I have been able to get with server issues is probably 3 hours.

  • PoliticalTruth PoliticalTruth (@PoliticalTruth) reported

    @BlizzardCS Servers down AGAIN ... jesus. What a ******* mess of a launch - a bunch of people should be fired for this ****.

  • iamredroom redROOMLIVE (@iamredroom) reported

    @BlizzardCS Wouldn't fixing this mean releasing patches?! There have been no patches. I don't think you even know what the problem is!

  • TrkyGrky G_G (@TrkyGrky) reported

    @twitchguynoodle @RyanOfMidgard @BlizzardCS My experience is it should kick the in game character out of the game, which is why in Beta when this SAME thing happened people made new characters, joined a game, logged out and logged in the character they wanted to play. Either way weird issue.

  • Fatmaniswak Ryan Hendershot (@Fatmaniswak) reported

    @BlizzardCS definitely been sad with the release of D2R I've only been able to play 3 hrs out of 3 days. Ps4-Fatmaniswak Favorite game created by blizzard but after 20 years I'd hoped server issues and connection problems wouldn't be a thing still. definitely feel like it should of been 10$

  • iamredroom redROOMLIVE (@iamredroom) reported

    @BlizzardCS Was working before the update.... now not working this is such a joke.

  • Ey_Yo_Rob RG | EyYoRob (@Ey_Yo_Rob) reported

    @BlizzardCS How is this a ******* problem. I cant play any of my characters because they are stuck in a closed game? are you ******* kidding me? Can y'all get a launch right?

  • Large_Flask Large_Flask (@Large_Flask) reported

    @BlizzardCS Helloooo, any news on the character stuck issue?

  • Tyler_Dalton11 Tyler Dalton (@Tyler_Dalton11) reported

    @BlizzardCS Come on Blizzard... pretty amazing y'all cant fix your 20 year old game. Can fix your dumb game from my basement 2 days ago.

  • Iceman3599 James (@Iceman3599) reported

    @BlizzardCS So you do maintenance to fix issues but now you made more of a problem and have no clue how long it will take to fix them. Guess the bright side of this **** show is Tuesday NEW WORLD is released

  • joshtilton4 josh tilton (@joshtilton4) reported

  • SoulessCthulhu Souless Cthulhu (@SoulessCthulhu) reported

    @DanKephart @ClassactWoW @BlizzardCS what error?

  • DatNoobADAM DatNoobADAM (@DatNoobADAM) reported

    @BlizzardCS I had no issues prior to your “maintenance”. Now that your maintenance is done my like 84 toon says it’s already in a game and I started a new toon so I could play and it freezes on a black screen if I try to enter a game. I would say that your maintenance isn’t done

  • FACExPLANT618 Dan (@FACExPLANT618) reported

    @Hal_Goofler @BlizzardCS @Diablo Wow that’s rough. Did it fix itself yet? Or you still stuck? Mine came back thankfully after an hour at end time of maintenance

  • Cristiann47 cristian andres (@Cristiann47) reported

    @BlizzardCS Why are u guys even tampering with the game if all was going good? Don’t fix something that’s not broken you buffons!!!

  • DanRoggenburg Dan Roggenburg (@DanRoggenburg) reported

    @Mjmorales231 @MarkMcC27861792 @BlizzardCS Lucky you dont have an AVX launch game issue. They refused to acknowledge it for the first 3 days til we compiled 2k complaints and were forced to edit their official comment to include it (LOL) They currently are not working on it over the weekend and probably wont be rdy mon.

  • MeyBlackwing Mey Blackwing (@MeyBlackwing) reported

    @BlizzardCS My characters are still broken. They worked fine before the servers were shut down

  • KBonner8385 Kenneth Bonner (@KBonner8385) reported

    @BlizzardCS Next time you want to launch a game make sure it is out of beta test and the issues that was FOUND during beta test is actually resolved before dumping onto the masses.
