I just downloaded the game yesterday I haven’t been able to get onto battlenet server. Just can’t join. Please fix this Blizzard
Let’s be honest it’s really frustrating that the servers go to hell on the main day us “grown ups” are able to play the game which makes it really annoying
Fix your servers Holy cow. This is ridiculous. We don’t give 2 zod runes about pc players. You make a que for them to completely obliterate 3 other consoles of players. Seems like a cool guy move
I hate to break it to y’all, but even if you do get in the matchmaking is garbage… if you happen to get lucky and get in after hours of the game telling you that you should check your internet it’s basically like playing single player.
It makes you select either a quest or a boss to join matchmaking for, which is a joke because it also defaults matchmaking clvl +/-10 and never connects with a single person anyway. It creates a new game and you’ll never see another soul join. Hard to believe they have this “extreme traffic” yet literally nobody on? I turned my clvl default to 99 and checked every single quest and every single boss and never connected with ANYONE.
setting your default to 99 only applies to games you make, not the ones you join.
Even then, I still don’t have people joining my games.
Occasionally someone from my friends list pops in, but that’s about it.
Like I said, it creates a new game because matchmaking doesn’t work anyway. What in the world makes you think I was joining anyones game with the current matchmaking system?
That’s their problem for being lazy and assuming that 20 year old code was up to the task. How is that any fault of the players?
You know, there is a check box there about the character restriction. Just don’t have it on. And, if I am not mistaken, that setting on console is purely for Private games, nothing to do when it chooses to make a game for you. Anyways, this hidden clvl restriction is news to me, but makes sense why I couldn’t find a certain game with one char, but could with another repeatedly… and it is bs that there is a restriction. Why would they do this?? So ppl cant rush? (which it doesnt prevent btw) ppl dont give a damn what lvl others are in a game and in party, most the time.
Been trying for the last 8 hours. 40$ and we don’t get communication or updates. Just the blizzard shaft.
nice and cold isnt it

Is there some kind of secret handshake I don’t know? I see people playing, but I can’t connect. What’s the trick? Xbox
Are they actually playing? Or just in the games application trying to get online…
Pretty sure it’s any game you create. Not sure why there would be any need for those kind of restrictions on private games though since I thought you have to be friended to see/join a private. I think the default is applying to created matchmaking as well. It’s been at least 10 years but I do recall there being an xp penalty when players are too far from your clvl, or too far above the lvl of mobs, or both, but I’ll be damned if I remember the math. The question of whether it’s intentional or not is valid though…seeing as I’d guess at least 50% of players would never look in those settings and change it. Good luck trying to run some hell Baal runs or hell anything with +/- 10 as a default lol. They need to put that default on matchmaking page & default player count to 8 if they’re going to actually use it. Just another way bliz is screwing up connections.
I guess I’m lucky. This is the first time I’ve been hit with the unable to connect stuff. I should be grateful. Instead, I’m pissed off as my 2 year old likes sitting in my lap watching me play and I can’t get on. My online sorc doesn’t show up when I start the game which tells me the Xbox servers are down. Again. Back in the day Blizz could get away with this…i mean, they DID. I’ve been playing Blizz games online since the original Diablo, and this kind of crap has happened since then, only this is even worse.
They are playing. I can hear their happy voices through party chat.
I’m confused at couple tings you’re saying… First, I am pretty sure that defaultly player restriction is off in the settings. 2nd, you imply you can create public games by choice online on console, which you cannot. (If so, then how? I never seen an option)
for sure online? ok well, so??? You didn’t know that some ppl are actually able to play if they get lucky? Only the majority of us aren’t getting lucky. And those that are, have next to no one else to play with.
I’ve seen a total of 10 different players on xbox in my games. I’ve basically solo’d to hell on a meteorb sorc. It’s insane that we can’t search for or create games and are at the mercy of a subpar matchmaking system. That said, I’m gonna try logging in again. Maybe I’ll get lucky.

Yeah imma try again soon. Basically been trying once an hour now without luck… Thinking at this point honestly just playing LOD as I have it installed and everything all ready to go. Not much difference in playing that over D2R anyways, since we aren’t in ladder yet…
I can logon but characters are missing again, indicating servers are down.
This game was simply not ready for release.
