Hell is currently closed, come back later
After reports started flooding theDiablo 4 forumsearlier this evening, Blizzard’s support Twitter account tweeted about the issues to confirm that they are “investigating reports of login issues affecting #Diablo4 and working to resolve these as soon as possible.”
Upon disconnecting, I got sent back to a blank main menu screen with none of my characters appearing on the left. Instead, there was only the “Create New Character” icon, which is ominous to say the least.
We are investigating reports of login issues affecting#Diablo4and working to resolve these as soon as possible.
Hopefully this doesn’t mean characters have actually been deleted, but after closing and relaunchingDiablo 4to check, I haven’t been able to get past the server queue and error code screens.
I was right in the middle of a Dungeon boss at the time of the disconnect, which is rather unfortunate. Server issues have been known to kill characters, including that of thefirst player to reach level 100 in hardcore mode, so hopefully we don’t see those issues replicated here.
Until now,Diablo 4’s launch had seemed remarkably smooth. It also, perhaps unsurprisingly, seems to have been very successful, with Blizzard confirming that it is theirfastest selling game ever. That’s a lot of people logging on for their chance to slay demons and fight back against Lilith (who isshorter than Lady Dimitrescu, according to Rachel).
