Looks like Blizzard are under siege…note on Bnet saying they are under attack right now. Its not just D4 that is impacted.

Pretty sure its BS just to cover server implementation issues. No one is disconnecting, its just a login issue, so def no DDos.

Guessing someone’s HC character died to a hotfix lag spike.

Yea, doesn’t seem something that even Blizzard would BS about. Too easy to verify externally to lie about. Its not just impacting D4.

Yeah, totally. Multiple Blizz games are having issues at the exact same time, but that’s just a coincidence. The reality is that they didn’t buy enough D4 servers, and started shutting down random servers for other games to cover it up

Honestly even more of a reason to implement an offline mode. If this happens on a regular basis the game is screwed.

Those who are performing such attack really need to get real life.

Human mind can be really disgusting. Whats the point of doing that?

Probably some guys with short-d*cks and short brains unable to find fun. LOL
