    @HughWil36122047 @Celestalon @PezRadar You were offered your money back if you wanted it back. I also believe they will fix the issues. You were told further info and were told theyd have more on monday. You have refused anything rational. Twitter might just decide to ban your IP if you keep going on multiple accounts

  • BlizzconOrc Zug Zug 💙 (@BlizzconOrc) reported

    @HughWil36122047 @Celestalon @PezRadar Reading through his account it looks like there has been communication in regards to problems that we have been having. Has it solved everything? No definitely not but you arent being ignored.

  • Unie_Vr 🍏Unie🍎 (@Unie_Vr) reported

    @Gskskskskakkdfn @PezRadar Beta had this exact issue, what are you on about xD

  • CoreyTackett3 Corey Tackett (@CoreyTackett3) reported

    @PezRadar @PezRadar Alot of people are getting the character already in a game error. When will that be resolved?

  • Danny__Bolger Danny Bolger (@Danny__Bolger) reported

    @PezRadar adam, for the 3rd time my character is after been rolled back AGAIN!! all day playing for nothing !! how do i fix this and get it back?????

  • CasperHessellu2 Casper Hessellund (@CasperHessellu2) reported

    @RodFergusson @Poriand @PezRadar i got stuck as "in a game" again... when do you fix this? Do you do it today, or should i skip playing D2 Sat and Sun?

  • RodFergusson Rod Fergusson (@RodFergusson) reported

    @Neon_Velocity @PezRadar Yes, we're aware and we have a fix in the works. Easiest work around is just to restart the game in the meantime.

  • BlizzconOrc Zug Zug 💙 (@BlizzconOrc) reported

    @HughWil36122047 @Celestalon @PezRadar If you had ANY kind of experience in either you would know that tech problems or software problems are not always resolved with a "turn it off and back on again". This isnt your home pc that you can restart the router on and be fine. You HAVE to be patient.

  • Gskskskskakkdfn Ssapeeejxjx (@Gskskskskakkdfn) reported

    @Unie_Vr @PezRadar it didnt, i played with no issue during the open and closed beta...

  • gleichlaufart synchronism (@gleichlaufart) reported

  • esalgado2011 ECSAMEN (@esalgado2011) reported from Boca del Rio, Estado de Veracruz-Llave

    @CoalitionGears hi. Since yesterday I can't play in horde, doesn't load the map, stay wheeling but not charge it. Is any problem over there.?

  • ryand6690 Ryan Randall (@ryand6690) reported

    @PezRadar Is this going to address the AVX issues or are we still looking at Monday earliest for that?

  • yungmephistoo yungmephisto (@yungmephistoo) reported

    @PezRadar I know you guys are working hard on resolving the server issues. Curious if that is causing the matchmaking problems on consoles as well? Like many others I have not been able to match up with anyone via the party finder, since release.

  • kraz3yivan Kraz3yIvan (@kraz3yivan) reported

    @Batchi @PezRadar Am in the same boat will not get it working till they fix the database lock issue

    @PezRadar Hey, Adam, Will this maintenance offer a fix to the map overlay bug?

  • CoachEgghead Whiskey Lovin' Dad🥃 (@CoachEgghead) reported

    @roppsteady @nairbod @PezRadar i fully get it takes time to fix some things .. but this is a total cluster putting out a release that doesn't work on so many people's machines that did work in beta .. & that it'll be swept under the "great launch" rug .. 47hrs of no play for my $40

  • _FossiLLs Anthony (@_FossiLLs) reported

    @CoalitionGears Need to fix seriously 2.0 Achievement stuck at 99% and did all catriea

  • Unie_Vr 🍏Unie🍎 (@Unie_Vr) reported

    @Gskskskskakkdfn @PezRadar I did not and alot of others did not, so now you know it's an existing issue since then :) Just wait like everyone else does.

  • trevorclaymusic Trevor Clay (@trevorclaymusic) reported

    @PezRadar The radio silence from Blizzard on this is really disheartening. It seems to be an issue for a majority of players on console- and they way y’all are handling it looks like you just don’t care. I really hope that isn’t the reality.

  • Celestalon Celestalon🎁🌙 #ABetterABK💙 (@Celestalon) reported

    @HughWil36122047 @PezRadar Oh man, that'd be a great super power! Sorry you're having issues, but this ain't the way, man. Be better.

  • DanRoggenburg Dan Roggenburg (@DanRoggenburg) reported

    @PezRadar @MeMeMe60266929 Where is your accountability? You should be on an apology tour not stroking your ego on your promo. You have dropped the ball hard and have had no transparency from the start, we had to beg you to address AVX issue. A sorry would be better than a refund for your company.

  • BlizzconOrc Zug Zug 💙 (@BlizzconOrc) reported

    @HughWil36122047 @Celestalon @PezRadar Then you simple have to wait. You cant claim the company only cares about your money when they are willing to give it back because you arent unsatisfied with the service. I finally saw his response, he did respond to you directly. If he has no further info then this is nonsense.

  • JPrindesis CryptoGosu (@JPrindesis) reported

    @PezRadar @RodFergusson please change lobby, and create more trade and channels.... and disconnecting and reconnecting issues.... not a good strart to diablo 2

  • _FossiLLs Anthony (@_FossiLLs) reported

    @GearsofWar Y’all need to fix the seriously 2.0 achievement all catreia met and stuck at 99%

  • CasperHessellu2 Casper Hessellund (@CasperHessellu2) reported

    @PezRadar i got stuck as "in a game" again... when do you fix this? Do you do it today, or should i skip playing D2 Sat and Sun?

  • Gskskskskakkdfn Ssapeeejxjx (@Gskskskskakkdfn) reported

    @MeMeMe60266929 @PezRadar they said this a couple hours ago, pathetic.... "Hey all, updates on the AVX fix from the General Discussion forums. It looks like this is getting delayed unfortunately. I don’t have any more information than this at this time but pushing it out for visibility’s sake."
