<p>Its a game NOT the end of the world.</p>

<p>And launch problems aside a great game, im very much enjoying it.</p>

Because the success of a game never had implications on the rest of the industry, right?

I don't see why people are complaining... did you not know how the game worked before you paid 60.00 for it?? If you didn't, then you're basically admitting your a ***** that pays for things before looking into them in any way shape or form. And really, Would you like to go back to Lan Co-op, sure, lets just go back to the 80's. Lets not use better systems, new technology, or our brains. 10 or so hours of downtime, not that big of a deal really. I think, bottom line, people just like to *****.

Am I the one that gets my a$$ handed to me in Hell difficulty. Im not really complaining about the error 37 code. I am just frustrated that it seems I can't find any good items and I have to buy everything on the auction house.

Never left actually, I still do regular Lanning. The cloud gaming does allow for some of my friends who have kids now to play more often though. Actually a local dedicated server would be ideal.

I did not purchase D3 btw... and it's true... people do like to complain.

The worst thing about all this is it all leads back to money. Blizzard have turned into a company that would rather have more money than happy customers. Do the F**k care about you guys not being able to play, you've lined their pockets already, they couldn't care less. Bullshit? Have you hard about there real money auction-house plans? Still think the always on thing is just to make the game "better for everyone"? What a joke! If people could dupe items, they could sell the in these shitty auctions and Blizzard would :O Lose money? I have lost so much faith in this company since this game was announce/released, they are just another blood sucking corporation solely intrested in taking money. Diablo is a brilliant game, but they have really taken advantage of this to suck as much money as they humanly can without outright stealing you money.

<p>There has been approximately 10-hours of down time in 72 hours of release. I would call that a success.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Also, the game is f-ing amazing, single-player or not, and I don't notice the online bit of it at all - it's completely non-intrusive. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Anyways, if you don't like it, don't play it. Return the game and go offline. Despite the problems, none of the people I've played with have considered returning it and use the downtime to sleep.</p>

well EU servers are donw almost every day with a problem , the last 2 days they been down as long as they been up , last night more problems , today login problems. EU servers are rubbish.

Problem with games you can play offline and online is the second a game is introduced
people work to cheat or steal from others. With online game only Blizz servers control
what drops, if your own computer determines it I can see the 135 pages of "dupe"
programs for D3 overnight. Its sad that so many people feel they have to cheat and steal
to enjoy a game but I'm just as happy that Blizz is keeping the control of the game in their
back pocket and not giving hackers a freebie.
