The Server Slam has ended and thus the last test before the release of Diablo 4. We hope you had fun and conclude the ticker here.
What you need to know about Diablo 4 and the launch can be found in the hub:
19:45
The last hour of the Server Slam is slowly approaching. You have time until 21:00 to play Diablo 4 before it finally releases on June 6. What have you accomplished, and what do you still want to do in the last hour?
18:00
Ashava appears for the last time in this test. This is your last chance to collect her scream as a cosmetic for the release of Diablo 4!
14:15
At 15:00 you have the chance to defeat Ashava again – at 18:00 for the last time. If you want to secure all rewards for Diablo 4, you should hurry up. A little trick can help you if Ashava gives you trouble:
10:10
Good morning and welcome to the last day of the Server Slam! I woke up a bit late and therefore missed the first Ashava spawn. Here’s a little reminder of when the boss appears:
- 12:00
- 15:00
- 18:00
Tips and all other information can be found here:

We just fought Ashava for the first time and … lost. Very clearly, even. Compared to the Open Beta, the difficulty is quite a bit higher. Well, we are also 5 levels weaker.
However, other players and streamers are also saying that Ashava is quite tough at the moment. We’ll see how this develops.
For today, we are closing the ticker for now and will return tomorrow. Feel free to let us know if you were able to defeat the world boss or not. Good luck if you want to try again tonight!
18:00
Ashava has appeared for the first time at the server spawn, good luck in the fight! Feel free to share your experiences and your loot in the comments.
17:10
Only 50 minutes until the first spawn of world boss Ashava. The servers are still stable and there are no login queues. We will see what it looks like later, but the entire test is already going pretty well:
15:30
Only 2 hours and 30 minutes until the first spawn of world boss Ashava. Have you already put together your build for the fight? Or are you hoping that enough people will join to take down Ashava?
If you’re very lucky, you might even have the guy who just kills Ashava alone.
13:20
Only 4 hours and 40 minutes until the first spawn of world boss Ashava. Use the time to secure the remaining rewards now:
10:55
Tonight, you will be able to fight the world boss Ashava for the first time. The first spawn is in 7 hours, at 18:00.
10:20
Good morning everyone! We are back today, on Saturday, to bring you live updates on the current status of the last beta of Diablo 4. As it stands now, there are absolutely no issues – instead, great praise for the stability!

We are now signing off from the ticker for today. If any issues arise tomorrow, we will provide you with the necessary service. Until then, good loot, have fun, and good night!
21:56
We will keep you informed about any queues or serious bugs that may disrupt your experience in the Server Slam.
21:46
Some players are reporting crashes, lag, and FPS stuttering on PC. However, there are currently no fixes for these issues. (via reddit.com)
Even now, 46 minutes after the start of the Server Slam, there are only 1-minute queues or none at all.
21:22
There is a bug for PC players who cannot play Diablo 4 even though the game has started. To fix the bug, simply restart Battle.net.
21:19
If you are having trouble accessing the beta with the Xbox, here’s a tip:
- If you have downloaded the beta and updated it to the latest version, you must access the beta via the store. Only then can you start the beta.
21:10
If you log in for the first time, you will be informed about the Server Slam. After that, you can start playing immediately after a one-minute wait.
21:00
The Druid is ready for the Server Slam, are you?
20:51
Try to log in now. The servers opened 10 minutes early!
20:50
The last 10 minutes before the start are beginning. By now, you should be ready to have a chance to log in possibly without a queue.
20:19
As the last minutes before the start of the Server Slam pass, players are actively discussing how they will use their time in the 3 days of the last beta.
20:01
The last hour is about to begin, heroes. So start getting ready, fire up your PCs or consoles, as Blizzard is about to open the gates to hell for Diablo 4!
19:06
Only 2 hours until the Server Slam. Are you looking for a tool to refine your builds based on skills and gear? We have the perfect site for you d4builds.gg. With this program, you can easily and clearly create builds for your beta heroes, making it easier and more efficient to face Ashava.
18:00
3 hours left until the Server Slam. Accordingly, we have created a survey for you. So please let us know which class you will play when the last beta starts:
17:16
Only 4 hours until the Server Slam. Did you notice that the music in the start screen has changed? Blizzard seems to want to create excitement during the waiting times.
16:15
Despite the unofficial patch notes of Diablo 4 we have builds for every class. You can roughly orient yourself to these and make any adjustments in the Server Slam if you’d like.
15:03
A clever trick I can recommend to you (which many impatient heroes among you probably do) is to log in 5-10 minutes before the start of the Server Slam and try to sign in. Ignore the code 315306 and keep trying. I managed to get in without a queue immediately in the last beta test.
15:00
Only 6 hours until the Server Slam so you can finally play Diablo 4 again. Please note that the Server Slam is designed to push the servers to their limits. So expect very long queues, crashes, and problems.
13:35
If you try to log in now, you will be greeted with code 315306. This will appear until the servers for Diablo 4 are active at 21:00. So it’s not a bug, but rather a friendly reminder from Blizzard to be patient.
13:24
The head of the Diablo franchise, Rod Fergusson, responded to a question regarding whether the Battle Pass of Diablo 4 will offer enough premium currency to buy the latest Battle Pass for “free”.
Unfortunately, that will not be the case. You will earn premium currency, but not enough to buy the next Battle Pass.
12:27
Unofficial patch notes regarding changes to classes in Diablo 4 have now been released. Our author Dariusz has looked at the changes and informs you of the important information here in his article.
One thing is for sure – players are shocked.
10:05

We are now live for you and are providing you with the most important information about Diablo 4 before the beta begins. After that, we will monitor the server status and reveal to you how long the queues are. So get ready!
If you reach level 20 in the Server Slam, you will receive a cute wolf pup as a transmog for the release on June 6.
What is the Server Slam? Blizzard has prepared a Server Slam to let players test the server capacity before the official release of Diablo 4 and test the content of the action RPG. The first starting area and all classes can be leveled up to 20 to unlock free cosmetics.
Additionally, there is also the first world boss that you can defeat. You can find all the times here:
We will be there today with our ticker and keep you updated about server issues and queues. You will find more information about the Server Slam in the following section below.
