I have seen a bunch of people claiming that you can get realm downed in D2R just like how you could in D2 by spamming games too fast.
Are people getting the error “This charactor is in a game” for hours on end due to being realm downed?
IF this is truly a realm down due to spamming games, blizzard should help clarify so we know not to spam games.
it’s not realm down it’s server issues. everyone has this right now. but yeah it’s 20 games per hour per ip or something like that, so don’t break that rule either. you can do baal runs all day but if you try to mf pindle in 20 seconds then make a new game and repeat, you’re going to hit the limit pretty quick.
proof that there is a limit? If there is a limit how long is the lockout?
Closest thing I got to realm down, was a message stating I was already in a game, but that went away within 10 seconds or so.
the proof is i used to run bots on classic and that’s what everyone figured out thru testing. it was also confirmed on some blizz post a long time ago from someone asking about the realm down and it was listed somewhere.
as far as duration there is never a set duration. sometimes it could be 10 min, could be 30, could be hours or an entire day. the one thing you do NOT want to do is repeatedly check to see if you are still locked out because it will actually extend the duration. the temp ban message is quite different from “this character is already in game”, you just won’t be able to connect at all but because of server issues it could just be that. if you’re ever unsure just check here first to see if everyone is spamming about the server. if not then it’s probably temp ban and you should just give it a few hours. the behavior of the temp ban is strange. it could unfairly hit you with an hours long ban and what’s worse is if you are able to log back in and you manage to break the limit again then you will definitely get a 24 hour ban. of course i don’t know if that still happens on this new system but now you know.
im gonna need a proper source for this lol
Classic has game limits and they didn’t say anything about removing it in Resurrected, so I have to assume it’s still there.
I’m pretty sure they did actually say they removed the limits, might have been a rod Tweet
I wish there was a maps feature where you could just create level 85 areas all day in a game. Or the ability to simple reset Durance or Catacombs or whatever in the same game. Would solve the issue entirely.
