CitizenKain posted:This happened with every major WoW patch, as people would resubscribe to see whats new on the first day, there would be queues on the major servers, and within 2 days things were back to normal. At least there were queues. I remember the WoW launch being way worse than D3's, but at least you had a queue - even if it did tell you you had 300 minutes remaining.

Oh my goodness. So, I woke up this morning early at 5:00 am in order to get in an hour of D3 before heading to a double shift. As soon as I sat down and tried logging in I noticed the errors and immediately said "gently caress it, they'll have everything resolved by the time you get off work." Here I am, having stopped by the local grocery store on the way back from work to pick up an energy drink and some croissants, getting ready to get my first D3 session going, and behold, there are still issues. Why does Blizzard hate America?

Saltin posted:It is charming that everyone in this thread thinks Blizzard actually bought/owns the servers on which all this is running. Who would sink cost into a loving commodity like that? They did for WOW? In fact, it's charming to think that you don't don't believe that the largest online gaming company in the world *doesn't* own their own data centers.

Actually I wonder if that's why their loads are getting so hosed up. Think about it. They probably did some estimations on load based on a certain number of people playing together. Well if most of the people are playing by themselves I bet that seriously fucks things over, since each one of those players has their own world and loads on the server.

I mean, seriously, it's the twitter dude posting, it's not like he's the one fixing the servers. [edit] Also, someone called the guy out and: quote:@TimDeFoor there is no "instead of".

So I have downloaded the client a record FIVE loving TIMES now, and each and every single loving time I get a corrupt archive. I can't even get the loving installer to run now. I just wasted loving 8 hours of my life dealing with their lovely bittorrent client for nothing. Am the only person on the face of the earth to have this loving problem? It's especially infuriating because if I delete the corrupt archive(s), the downloader just decides to download ALL SEVEN GIGS again, while simultaneously raping my upload so that my remaining time on the download is measured in geologic scale. loving infuriating, and I haven't even gotten to the point where I can say the loving thing is installed. Error 37 would be an improvement at this point. :/

There's a setting in there that lets you turn off the peer-to-peer downloading if it isn't working for you.

Was expressly not concerned with staying up last night / skipping work to play through the day today because I knew there would be server outages and other rage-worthy launch pains. I had, however, hoped that things would stabilized nearly a day later. Welp!

Test your hard drive for errors and also do this: http://www.memtest.org/ Bad memory will mess with your computer in all sorts of horrible and non-obvious ways, such as stealthily corrupting files. Also, don't use peer-to-peer. You'll get poo poo speeds and your connection will die, and when you just use Blizzard's download server you'll max out your bandwidth.

Nearly every cent Blizzard makes for the company must be shuffled into CoD or something. World of Warcraft releases major raids with nothing but recycled models, it has all of four people on the world design staff and Diablo 3 is making GBS threads itself hilariously. Geese don't keep laying golden eggs if you don't feed them.
