Indeed, it is weird that blizzard hasn’t stated anything about the extended maintenance on Blackhand, there isn’t even a note on the ETA of the connection on the launcher. This is the status I have of all the connections this week:
We would still have 12-13 successful connections this week assuming backhand comes back as it should.
for reference last week had 11 and week 33/34 each saw 9 servers connected so things are at least ramping up it seems if slowly.
