Add me to the list of people who canā€™t get in. First time, seemed to get in, then got stuck on the loading screen. Second and third, supposedly no characters. Fourth loaded fine, then crashed, and after that Iā€™m stuck on loading realms. Guess Iā€™ll go play something else for a bit.

Same. Againā€¦ Oh and I also had an item disappear when I tried to post it on AH. Not listed on AH. Not in my bagsā€¦

I was having this issue in early access and again now. Absolutely ridiculous and fully expect Blizzard make it up to the players regardless of who had early access or not.

Another day gone to same issue. Great ā€œScheduled Maintenanceā€

same ā€¦ cant login

Second day in a row for me, logs me in but get stuck on retrieving realms and than says I canā€™t log in

Same over here, managed to get to character select screen but stuck in loading character.
On the second try I got stuck at retrieving realm list and now I get the message ā€œUnable to connectā€.

It only affects some people not others which makes it extra annoying to see others in my guild still playing wihtout issue.

Posting to add up. Same issue here.

Same as the tons posting before me - stuck at ā€œretrieving character listā€. Insanity. Early access had some lag issues but otherwise smooth. General launch? Everything goes to crap.

Took 10 minutes to login, only to find out everything is down anyway. AH, trading post, etc. Tried to logout and was stuck, had to force close the game because it canā€™t even log out.

Same here.

Blizzard ever heard of rolling back a bad patch? Asking for a friend

Got in.

Tried to log out to switch toons and the game froze. Logged back in once, after second time I can no longer log in.

It probably isnā€™t patch related since itā€™s before we even hit the game itself.

Fun fact - still getting credit for livestreaming the game for the pet on Discord while stuck on the ā€œretrieving charactersā€ screenā€¦soā€¦thatā€™s something?
