5000 Bugs Reported

Posted 25 January 2012 by Elly

As we head up to release, bugs are being squashed as they come in and according to blizzard more than 5000 bugs have been reported since the Beta began. Looks like some testers are being proactive in getting the game sorted out.

I have some really cool news for you. Last night, we past 5000 bugs reported on the Bug Report forums! This is an incredible milestone for the Diablo III community, and one you should be proud of.

Here are some fun stats about bugs in the Beta:

  • The first bug was reported on 9/6/11 and can be found here
  • The most common bug ever reported was when the Battle.net servers were down during Thanksgiving 2011. It was reported over 200 times.
  • 5092 bugs have been reported since 10 AM PST on 1/25/12
  • Of the 5092 bugs reported on the forums, 856 unique bugs have been sent off to the developers to fix. (Remember, a bug reported on the forums can be a duplicate or not a bug at all).

Thank you again for all of your hard work testing the Diablo III Beta and helping Blizzard make it the best game it can possibly be. Here’s to 5000 more!

We have a Bug Thread in the Beta forum that doesn’t appear to be bursting at the seems with reports so perhaps Blizzard are all over the bugs like a dose of salts.

  • Well, that’s 856 squashed bugs closer to the release date.
    I’d Gladly help find the next 800 bugs. So…
    Giev Beta Access, plz?

  • “Here’s to 5000 more!”

    Thanks, but HELL NO! :lol:

  • 5000 bugs reported ! Woohoo !
    And how many of them where fixed ? Any info ? Hm ?

  • Only 5000?
    Out of how many testers?
    Beta testers these days, thinking they have a free trial of a game :/

  • 5000 bugs reported for a simple stress test of the hardware.  Hmm…

  • so the game was in development for at least 3 years before the beta began 
    5000 bugs have been reported so far in the beta 

    and that’s something Blizzard is proud of 

    can’t decide which smiley describes this best :roll: :D :? :cry:

    • Only 896 actual bugs, of course.

    • You´re nor being fair to Blizzard, Diablo 3 is a massive piece of software with, I´m guessing here but I am probably not too far of, millions of lines of code. Any program, even the smallest one, generally has one or two bugs, when you have game of this size, 865 bugs is actually something to be proud of. Also, there aren’t 865 bugs in 1/3 of Act 1 in first difficulty, majority of those 865 bugs has to do with infrastructure, b.net, loading screens, items, RNG, etc, are in no way related or exclusive to act 1 normal.

      haste makes waste

      • all that is true
        but they did have an internal company wide beta before this beta ever started
        and they also have the QA department going over stuff daily
        and yet they’re still proud the fans found and reported 856 bugs ? ? lol

  • Thousands of bugs after REMOVING (not adding) stuff. You are really great Blizzard!

    • Removing things can contribute to just as many bugs as adding things when different parts of the code refer to the removed section…

      • Blizzard will remove the runes also this will cause 10000+ more bugs Maybe they will remove a couple of classes (monk and Dh, my guess) half of the skills… We will have 1000000+ bugs. They will remove all of those maybe the last act also and “will look for them and will perfect them in the future” Long live Blizzard!

  • Bug #5093. Diablo III was delayed because we were out of coffee.

  • I want a beta key, but at the same time I don’t want anything spoiled when i get that game in my hands :)

  • 5000 Bugs? I´ll slay them with my Azurewrath!
