more bad press..

posting list is up to 351 pages... blizzard froze that thread, which i think is detestable, so that it wouldn't get even worse..

Well, this settles any doubts I had about not purchasing the game. Somehow, the phrase "epic fail" does not nearly seem to explain how bad this all is. On the plus side, many of us just saved $60 plus.

I tried to post in a 500+ page topic about Error 37 (can't log-in issue) and it told me I had to log-in to post, despite logging in via every log-in page they offer.

So not only can't I log-in but I can't post a politely worded complaint & suggestion on their forums. My brother though... he was gloating about being logged in on his laptop, so I have hidden his power plug.

Personally I blame Activision, ever since they became one with Blizzard the decisions have gotten quite wacky. D3 has since launch been almost an unmitigated disaster for gamers & Blizzards PR teams.

Apparently the reasoning is because someone already discovered a duplication exploit and with a real money trading house existing, they can't have that.

Blizzards PR Team? You mean the same morons touting about moderwelfare xxxxxxxx being the next best thing to sex with an ecstasy pill?

You mean an poorly worded cover-up?

Look hopefully they will fix all this evntually but the fact is that we are dealing with one form or another of technology and at best technology can be flawed and will stop functioning correctly.

And yes I did buy the digital version of the game. And although i don't like a first day emergancy server fix the fact is I'm pleased that they are at least dealing with the problem quickly insetad of letting it linger on.

Nope it did exist, damn chinese peeps found a way of exploiting a laggy server due to numbers and found out by sending a specific data packet during lag kills they could duplicate the item drop.

So I am guessing Blizz will have to encrypt each kill data packet differently so they can't be duplicated.
