Ok, you introduced the queue system in order to solve some issues with the outages, BUT, once you have logged in and you start to create few game (maybe to farm pindleskin) after 3 maximum 4 games, the classic error about the network problem appears. You didn’t fix anything!!! It’s just a little workaround, but not a fix!

Hello Tdk85,
The current fix are indeed temporary and not a permanent solution. This change have been implemented to keep the game running while the developers continue to look for better solutions.
This post will highlight what is happening and why.
So you make a fix that makes it even worse for people?

Thanks for the answer! Do you have a timeline for solve the server issue? You already aware that a lots of people are frustaded about the problems that you have.
Guys, my baby son fell asleep, I wanted to chill, play Diablo 2R until he wakes up. But guess what - I’m in a queue, while I paid full price for the game. Probably I will stay in it when the baby is awake again. So instead of having fun I am getting angry and frustrated. Would you be happy in my place? Do you think it’s fair the way you treat the gamers? You took money, but didn’t deliver. How do you feel about it?

One of the issues Blizzard are having is players creating new games all the time. Therefore it would be a help if players did a longer farm route to extend the life of each game created.
Now please note that I’m not saying these are acceptable conditions. But as things look right now it is what we have to deal with unfortunately. If you want to help right now you should make each game last longer.
A bit offtopic but is there any plans on making a system that allows people to copy online toons to offline so they can play during outtages? I think it would help during downtime and people wouldnt have to start from the scratch with lvl1 offline toon.
I myself would be more than happy to move all my online toons to offline as i dont care about playing with others that much. Only reason i made my toons online was simply the choice to play with others but with all these online problems id rather just play offline.

Dallan, so you are saying that the reason that I am 161 in the quene lays on the players side? And multimilion company has nothing to do with it? The fix they provided made game worse than before. They say that they didnt expect so many players… I would buy such an explanation from indie company not from one from the biggest in the industry

It would be a nice feature, at least, a temporary solution until they don’t fix server issues
I guess the sales volumes did not get passed on to the development/ network team 
Or the assumption was that people just have money to waste for a collectors edition of a game they were not intending to play 
I really hope that they either make more server room available, or at the very least update the database to 2021.
Same here, your old gamers that played Diablo 2 in 1999 today doesn´t have time to affor a queue. My baby just sleep 50 minutes and is the time I have to play every 3 days.
Please, we are in 2021, servers has lot more of power and speed. Please BUY MORE SERVERS Blizzard, and break with Activision that just f*ckd up your company!

This temporary fix is unacceptable, it is riduculous, shameful… infinite adjectives to define how pathetic and incompetent is the way you are managing the online gameplay.
You are spitting in the face of your customers. Invest the money you need to provide your costumers the service they paid for.

Oh I hate comments that start with “so you’re saying…”
Mate I specifically wrote:
“Now please note that I’m not saying these are acceptable conditions.”
So please understand that I’m not defending Blizzard AT ALL.
But given the current situation (which again is not acceptable) it will help if player stop spamming games at this moment (again not acceptable, but unfortunately it’s how the current situation is).
Please understand that I’m not saying the situation is acceptable or defending Blizzard in any way.
Please read this full comment before making response telling me to stop defending Blizzard.
Близы просто застряли в 2000 с той поры они ни чего стоящего не выпустили
7 days after, same problem at same time. 151 of queue…
You could just get 100 dedicated servers more blizzard…
Using more server capacity and increasing the clusters? Use some of the 40$ per key to make a working game maybe?
Terrible situation. Never experienced such bad support in a game.
Cant we at least have a semi functional queue system that allows a grace period for people who are already inside and get thrown out due to a crash? You know kinda like most other queue systems usually work?
And what is even going on when you spend 20min in queue, reach 0 and youre hit with “can not connect to server” and then get thrown back to the back of the queue again?
How was this standard of “fix” acceptable for such a huge company with so much history doing this kind of stuff?
I hope your son never has to know the queues of diablo 2 resurrected.
Look for solutions ? You mean other then the obvious solution of investing money in a game you sold to milions of people? There is a solution !! Get more/ better servers !! Can you guys believe this @#$% ? Looking for solutions … aka waiting for enough people to give up and leave so no additional investment would be necessary. This is what happens when companies stop being held responsible for products they sell for full price. This is an outright scam !! Throw an event sell more tickets then the number of available sits let peopel stand in fronts till someone leaves. Blizzard 2021 !!
