The game host types “ng” and so I exit and type the game with with the next number. Okay, I get it! I play, we kill Baal and I gain a level. Since I failed to join a full game, I am looking at a pop-up saying there is an “Issue communicating with the game servers.” This lasts 1-2 minutes before I can try again. “Game is Full” is what I read on the pop-up. Nothing shows up in the description until the game vanishes. Click on it to see the game time and if it’s an active or long dead game.
I find one after scanning the list repeatedly. Then, when I finally get in to the servers, I scan game names to level on Baal. I wait in queue for 10-30 minutes which s nearly half my allotted time to play. I have a few minutes during the day and I think “Let’s do a few runs!” and log in.
Here is a perspective on what it’s like to play D2R at this time.
