Diablo 4 test queues generally timed out, and the countdown was not accurate.

Diablo 4 test queues generally timed out, and the countdown was not accurate.

Diablo 4's early access test will be held this weekend. However, as usual, players encountered problems with waiting in line and connecting to the server. Blizzard is currently publishing an announcement, suggesting to players who are still in line: Don't leave the queue.

There are common problems with queueing and server connections when popular games are launched. While some players will find queues to remind them that they need to wait from 20 minutes to over an hour, this time may not be accurate. The message that appears on the screen reads: "Please note that the countdown may touch and exceed the actual time on the queue timer. Don't leave the queue, as this will get you back in line. We'll prepare more accurate timing for the public beta weekend."

The post with the highest likes on Blizzard's official forum is currently titled "What a joke. I feel ashamed of you Blizzard." Player Karskin said, "You pay for pre-order because you want to play games this Friday and weekend, but you'll be disconnected because of Blizzard's incompetence. Now I have to wait 2 hours to log in again, yes 2 hours... If I know this will happen, I will never pre-order the game. This is absolutely unacceptable."

"For companies of Blizzard's size, this shouldn't happen."

Blizzard admits this issue not only on the in-game loading screen, but also on its social media channels. The latest tweet from Blizzard Customer Service says developers are "currently investigating" these issues, while a list of known issues posted to Blizzard Forum acknowledges waiting time and connection issues.
