What happened to all the retards that said this could be beaten in less than an hour first time through?
I only see people saying it took about 3 hrs.
It's a stress test. People complain that Beta's are just demo's now. Blizzard has repeatedly stated that their Beta is an actual Beta, not a demo. If you are one of these people, you're a hypocrite. They've been tweeting constantly the last 48 hrs about how they are continually working to improve the performance during the stress test.
I knew better than to even try playing this weekend.
So many trolls posting too. Horrible voice acting? Bad sound? We clearly aren't playing the same game.

It is a button push....don't remember what it was. I was doing the button mash test on the game to see what everything does....

Actually getting in has been practically impossible, but that's what a stresstest is all about I guess... Once I finally got in, the game was more or less rock solid, and the only interruption was a planned server restart. I hope they don't under-estimate the capacity requirements for launch, in particular for Europe. We're usually an afterthought, which makes sense in terms of market-size but it still sucks for me
Made it to level 5 with a monk and just stopped playing. The barely remembered Diablo magic wasn't there and many worrying signs were, but I was curious to try another class to see if it got better. Too bad I haven't been able to reconnect!

Second, ideally the servers should be fine already. The game is less than a month from release, that's not a lot of time to fix any problems with the servers they find. The best case scenario for a stress test is that everything works fine. That means they planned ahead, and properly implemented everything they'd need to do in order for the game to be played properly. Personally, I'd hope they would be able to fix disconnect problems by release time, but there's certainly no guaruntee they'll be able to. So while it's not an end-of-the-world situation, it doesn't necessarily bode well for the finished product.
*** Had to edit to add this (after reading a few other posts). Several of you are posting about the disconnects from the server(s) and are unhappy about it... ARE YOU SERIOUS? IT'S A STRESS TEST. They are giving us a chance to try their game FOR FREE BEFORE IT'S RELEASED. We should be greatful to have the chance and you should EXPECT connection issues in a stress test otherwise they're not doing their job... Am I the only one that sees it this way???????
