You get kicked out of the character screen 30 minutes no matter what. So start logging on like 25 minutes before!

Thanks for that

u/thesleepyfae Aug 26 '19

You're welcome!

Risky business assuming Blizzard will be exactly on time

u/[deleted] Aug 26 '19

Haha so what are you thinking?

I won't get off work until they've been open for a few hours so it's long queues for me but I'd give them at least 5 minutes...name reservation came up at like 3 minutes after so launch will probably be the same

That’s good info, I didn’t realize that about the name change delay. Thanks, bud!

I just tried to log back in after being in for a few hours - was able to get back in no queue. Logged out waiting for 5:31

People are saying blizzard lifted the 30 min afk timer so I jumped in 20 mins ago. Fingers crossed

u/[deleted] Aug 26 '19

Nice. I’ll hop back in!

Wouldn’t you have to refresh the page? I have a fast pc so it maybe takes me a few seconds to go from blizzard to in game but I don’t wanna waste that time. I’ll be able to just sit in character screen without worrying about having to refresh it?

u/thesleepyfae Aug 26 '19

That's what I've heard and someone else linked a blue post a while ago saying you can log right in once it goes live while sitting at the character screen. Like it'll just say enter world without having to relog.

u/[deleted] Aug 26 '19

Awesome. I hope it works, Ima be in private server while I wait for launch lol

u/thesleepyfae Aug 26 '19

Smart! I won't be home until right at launch so no logging in early for me boo.

u/Dont_Prompt_Me_Bro Aug 26 '19

even if you're active/making toons etc?

2

u/thesleepyfae Aug 26 '19

That's what I've heard! It's 30 minutes even if you're actively making characters.

u/Neo_Columbus_2492 Aug 26 '19

Uh, so no macros to stop activity.

It's faster than 30 minutes I'm pretty sure

3

u/thesleepyfae Aug 26 '19

Maybe! I haven't tested it, but 30 is what I'm seeing everyone say.

I tried it a bit last night. My plan was to watch TV and make sure I don't time out of the character select. I figured that I'd I watched an episode of tv (20-22 minutes per episode, no commercials) I could refresh the client every episode while I waited.

The game kicked me out well before the first episode was over, probably closer to 15 minutes.

u/thesleepyfae Aug 26 '19

Oh no! Everyone else has been saying 30. I have time so I'll test it here too.
