If I can’t get a refund for this mess, I will never purchase another product from this company again.

That doesn’t constitute
IDK what to tell you man. This is how Blizzard launches go. This is how their refund policy has been for as long as they have had one.
At least they do have one now.
TBC was the last blizzard launch due to the Activision takeover… all downhill from there… facts.
also i will never purchase another product
i mean right now we cant play refund is the only thing we cant do nothing is playable…not even singleplayer
I’ve been playing blizzard games since 2002 or so. First one was Diablo 1 on PS1.
OP’s name is INCREDIBLY accurate.
If you chargeback they will more than likely close your battle net account permanently like google does when you charge them back lol.
If you say that then how was the Diablo 2 launch back in the day?
It didnt have this many issue… if you remember that is lol.
How was wow launch? if you even were there… I close beta tested that for 6 months… just saying…
This net code… hardly tested… thats why its garbage… and its because Activision is corporate… blizzard was gamers for gamers… hence the stock price of blizzard wasnt that good until the takeover.
WoWs launch was a disaster, you literally don’t know what you’re talking about lol.

Wow launch was a crap show. I was not there for d2 launch, first played that around 2006. Whenever the battlechests started showing up.

Not saying it is ok, but did you play WoW release in 2004? It was way way way worse than this. Days of servers down, unplayable lag. Mad scrambling to buy more servers, tons of bugs. It was sort of a trial by fire and you would think they would learn - but TBC in 2007 was also ugly at release and on every patch day. You never raided on patch day if you could help it because even if the servers came up that night, they would be buggy as heck. Both of those were before ATVI.
We got free game time here and there because it was a subscription time game and there were whole days offline.
Wrath post ATVI was a better launch and so was Cata. Then D3 was a mess and later Warlords of Draenor was a mess. Again they did not anticipate the traffic. RoS was super smooth.
I don’t think this is related to Blizz being owned by Vivendi pre 2008 or ATVI post 2008.

Yeah, but that’s after the meal is order cooked and served.
This guy sounds like he wants a refund because the basket of bread sucked.
But all their game launches fail…everytime. Is there ever a point where you say…enough is enough? There needs to be acountability.
My friend, do you live in the real world? You need to be quick with refunds to get them through, regardless if you do it through Blizzard or your bank. If you wait a week and see if they fix it, and it’s still broken, you won’t get your refund anymore.
As far as blizzard is concerned, if you made a character and logged in you are already ineligible for a refund unless you have some pretty bad issues.
Remains to be seen if blizzard considers this a big enough issue to offer refunds or not I guess.
Iv never said games with bad releases doesnt exist. I was finding your nonchalant approach to the phenomenon a curiousity. Especially when you gave only Blizz examples.
Like games should be expected to be a mess on release. Like its not a big deal. Its not like there was a few bugs online this. I literally couldnt start the game. Thats as broken as it gets, no?
Oh, so i need twitter to get information on my broken product? And what do you expect i do with the information you linked just now? Iv allready refunded my broken product. And you are well aware that information on this was scarce.
With little to no info, on a broken product. Nah, again, i was generous giving the hours i gave. Again, allmost a full 24h. With little to no information.
Yep.
Making fun of my second to fourth language capabilities, only substantiate my initial question.
No Cleng, I said the forums and Twitter. Not counting twitter and other social media, I found 18 posts by Hooley here. Evolving from initial troubleshooting to acknowledgements to proper updates.
Additionally, understand that Blizzard uses several social media to expand their reach.
I didn’t expect anything. I was simply countering your statement, something I feel is important for the less informed to see so that they don’t get misinformed.
At least you’ve agreed to move the goal post to “little”. But between all the available sources, it’s been more than a little.
You misunderstood. I was replying to MissCheetah with that quote.
