If you’re trying to play Diablo 4 right now, you might be having a hard time logging in and it’s due to an on-going Diablo 4 DDoS attack, which is currently affecting the game’s latency and connections, and will show up as error 73 this June 25.

This is unfortunate, but hopefully now the dev’s have incentive to update the game and make it so a constant Internet connection isn’t required. Thankfully im playing Final Fantasy 16 at the moment, but they really need to update Diablo 4 so you don’t need to be connected to the servers.
Got a hunch a new patch incoming this week. 🙂
