Diablo 4 players furious as Season 1 queues are worse than expected Blizzard EntertainmentBlizzard just unleashed Diablo 4 Season 1 and players are already furious over the longer than expected queues. The days leading up to Diablo 4\u2019s first season were full of ups and downs for both developers and the player base. Notably, the pre-season patch was met with much derision from those frustrated by class nerfs, the lack of more Uber Unique Items, and so on. These frustrations were shortly followed by Activision\u2019s announcement that Diablo 4 is officially the fastest-selling Blizzard game to date. It\u2019s not hard to believe, then, that players from around the world quickly piled into the Season 1 content, making for longer than usual queue times. Diablo 4 hit with \u201cunusually long\u201d queues as Season 1 kicks off Season 1 went live on July 20 at 10:00 AM PT, it didn\u2019t take long for players to start noticing lengthy wait times. Fortunately, Blizzard has already addressed the issue in a post that reads in part, \u201cWe\u2019re seeing some unusually long queue times for #DiabloIV.\u201d The post goes on to note that developers are already working on a solution, but that hasn\u2019t alleviated the frustration among fans. \u201cStuck in queue\u2026 What a surprise,\u201d reads the start of one Reddit thread that went up shortly after Season 1\u2019s release. Others said they\u2019re experiencing the same trouble. \u201c20+ minutes in a queue,\u201d one user writes, to which someone else replied by saying they spent 40 minutes in Diablo 4\u2019s long queues. And some have pointed out that the hiccups don\u2019t stop upon actually entering the game. According to a different Redditor, \u201cEven when you get past the queue, the experience in-game is laggy and bugged as hell atm. Not able [to] get out of the town (plenty of players seem to be stuck at the exit), loading screens take forever, etc.\u201d Meanwhile, in the replies to Blizzard\u2019s tweet, users have also reported receiving errors about account authentication. A swift response from a Blizzard representative notes that this can be solved by updating the game client. But there\u2019s no word on when Diablo 4\u2019s long queues will come to an end. And as for those still upset about the recent patch and Season 1 rollout, the studio plans to address as much in a Campfire Chat scheduled for Friday, July 21.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
