Diablo 3 Beta Server Update
Posted 20 March 2012 by NizarisUPDATE: Diablo is back up! 9PM it is!
UPDATE: Three hours later… we’re getting a message now that maintenance will conclude at 8PM-9PM. Predictions are holding true!
It looks like another update is coming – nothing like a patch, or anything. The outage is assumed to be approximately one hour. Let us all hope we don’t see something like last weekend’s fiasco with beta patch 15. Since this is just a server update, I don’t think we’ll be seeing an outage like last time.
We are currently in the process of performing a small server update and will be bringing the Diablo III beta offline for maintenance shortly. We anticipate that downtime as a result of this update will be minimal, lasting for approximately 1 hour.
Many people have been experience more lag than normal, so hopefully this update will address some of the issues players have been experiencing lately.
6 hours it is then.
PS: I’m not in the beta…I just enjoy pain and suffering of others.
That’s the spirit.
I was going to post this exact comment, minus the PS.
Why are we so cynical?
I enjoy the pain and suffering of others as well, so I hope you never get in. 8)
what does it matter ?
the beta is only 8 more weeks, and that’s if they run the beta right up to release day.
he’ll be playing the real game soon enough
not if he dies first…
You are so cruel! >;]
crossing that line without a goddamned blink. kids today watch too much deathnote, amirite?
SOON…
Ill just recived my key and have been struggeling with the download for 5h with my slow internet. Finnaly when i got my things togheter and are launching the game i’ll get hit by this.
Just my luck….
Where did you get that key from ?? I’m being so Geek about D3 why can’t I deserve one ?!
Pitiful disappointment I know.
My friend write articles for one of the fansites out there. He happend to have 3 extra so he gave me one.
Fixing some latency issues? good to hear… Anyway I didn’t face any problem tonight. 2 hours of fun on the beta
My bet is 4 hours… I think they are doing this purposely so that people renew their WoW subs while the servers are down.
still down :-/
Black maintenance still bars our way
but the will of a fanboy is stronger!
With Blizzard’s concept of time… I would be 276 1/2 years old …
I just hate blizzards messages. Why cant they just say it will take about 3 hours. And if it is up after 1, then hey, good job. They do not really act clever in my eyes.
It’s a developer thing. You wouldn’t understand.
Here is how it works:
What Developers say > What Developers mean
——————- ——————–
1) Essentially complete > It’s half done
2) Schedule exposure > It slipped three weeks ago
3) We predict > We hope to God
4) Screen design is lagging > Not a single screen exists
5) Risk is high but acceptable > 100 to 1 odds; or, with 10 times the budget and 10 times the people, we stand a 50/50 chance
6) Potential show stopper > The team has updated their resumes
7) Serious but not insurmountable > It’ll take a miracle
problems
8) Basic agreement has been > The &%$#@’s won’t even talk to us
reached
9) Results are being quantified > We’re massaging the numbers so that they will agree with our conclusions
10) Task force to review > 7 people who are incompetent at their regular jobs have been loaned to the project
11) Not well defined > Nobody’s even thought about it
12) Still scoping the requirements See answer to number 11.
13) Not well understood > Now that we’ve thought about it, we don’t want to think about it anymore
14) Requires further analysis > Totally out of control
and management attention
15) Results are encouraging > Power-on produced no smoke
Augh, I was about to get to SK with my new Monk.
