On April 29th, I made two purchases on DI, buying one bundle on each occasion. One of these bundles contained some eternal orbs. Four days have passed since I made these purchases and the transactions are listed as ‘completed’ under my transaction history. However, I am still unable to access or use these orbs to make in-game purchases.
I have tried to spend the orbs countless times at the crests vendor and at the market over the past four days, but each time I have received a ‘shop unavailable due to pending transactions’ notification and have been barred from using them. This is extremely frustrating. I have scoured the forums and contacted game masters numerous times, trying to troubleshoot and find a solution to the problem. I have tested every suggestion I have found from these sources, trying everything recommended in the forums (waiting, logging in/logging out) and those that GMs offered me when I submitted tickets (clearing caches, deleting cookies, trying the game on different devices). I have even re-downloaded and repaired my client, which took hours.
And, yet, the issue persists. In my most recent interaction with a GM, he suggested I submit the issue as a bug report because we appear to have exhausted all other options, to no avail.
This issue has already happened to me 2-3 times before, but on those occasions, the issue resolved itself within 48-72 hours. Not this time. This has been incredibly frustrating and disruptive to my gaming experience and I am seriously considering packing the game in due to the massive inconvenience caused by it, unless the issue can be resolved soon or I am compensated for it somehow. This is becoming a joke. If I spend money on a product, I expect that I should be able to have access to and use that product within a reasonable timeframe, especially in a game where the effects of a purchase should be pretty much instantaneous once security checks have been passed. I can also see this is an issue many others repeatedly deal with. I have never had a problem with game mechanics or anything like that, but this issue is equally as exasperating in my eyes. Fix this, for the love of god, so I can get back to playing a game I really quite enjoy, otherwise I will delete the game and move onto other game providers whose transaction system isn’t completely useless.
EDIT: just had an afterthought and thought I’d add this in too. Interestingly (and in addition to what I’ve already written), I have received access to the other content included in the bundles I purchased (legendary crests, rare crests, normals gems, and telluric pearls were credited to my account) and I have been able to use these as I please. The bug appears to ONLY prevent me converting eternal orbs into platinum so I can make in-game purchases and disallows me from spending any platinum I’ve already accrued or stockpiled. It is really inhibiting my gaming experience and limiting my goals for building my character. Wtf!!!
Edit 2 (5/5/25): update: has now been over a WEEK since I made my purchase and STILL can’t spend orbs or use shop due to a ‘pending transaction’ but the transaction is no longer pending. Why is no one replying to my message on the forum? Where is the support!!!
Edit 3 (25/5/25):. It has been a month (!!!a month!!!) — four whole weeks — since this problem started and still not resolved, nor have I heard ANYthing from Blizzard. Absolutely shameful. I am boycotting all Blizzard games until I hear back from them. Dog sh!t customer service. Just woeful. This bug should be fixed and there shouldn’t be a silence as resounding as this from those who purport to support the game and wish to improve game players’ experiences. Why has nobody attempted to get in contact about this? For shame.
