Does it fail with regards to logging in? Absolutely.
However, once you get past this, the game itself is actually (as my nephew put it) stunning.
Its not the fast paced game that D3 has become, nor is it the bloated mess that DI is. But you can see it has depth once you get into it and I find the difficulty of the monsters, the size of the maps and the overall play-ability of the game far superior to D3.
Now, if I want to mindlessly grind play, I will probably hit D3 for that.
But I think overall this is not a fail, but a lesson in patience and the need to temper expectations.
To be honest, I know she is currently playing. I logged out a bit ago to take a break, but will go back in later this evening. I hope.
As a further note, please refer to this pinned thread:
Two times now my que has finished and then there is an error and I can’t login. I can’t even begin to describe how infuriating it is that my friends are getting in without issue and again and again it’s crashing for me. What is the actual point in charging an early access price and have it be so incredibly random. Pissed.
I queued for “107 minutes” and it flipped to “Authentication Pending”. Been sitting on this screen now for about 30 minutes. All the posts say to be patient so I’m chilling…
Mine dropped to 0, queued for login - authentication pending with no timer. It’s been on this screen with no timer for 40 minutes. Total queue time now about an hour and 45 minutes. No sure if I should restart or not.
Should be the same queue-jumping for those in parties; I was in a 3-person party, network error, then back into a 100+ minute queue. So much for adventuring with friends <3
My timer just ended, and now it just says Queued… LOL
I should point out, that my gaming PC is connected to a different ISP and I’m using my laptop on my main ISP to follow the forum. And while typing that, I now got in.
So, is it better to stay on the character select screen rather than exiting the game and queuing back in when I encounter error code 316719 when clicking the “START GAME” button under the character slots menu?
I gave up after the timer ran out and I was on the Authentication Pending screen for an hour. Restarted it. Total time wasted in queue 2 hours 10 minutes. Timer now shows 98 minutes… lol.
