Well, it seems Sanctuary is not going down without a fight! After Diablo 4’s Early Access Beta ended around an hour ago, some (all?) players that were still in the game were not kicked out and were able to continue playing!
I found myself in this position as well, and initially assumed it was another World Boss daylight savings time mishap, but after running around for a while I noticed I could not move to another section of the map, as the rubberbanding/loading was infinite and I could not push through. “Well, I guess the servers are coming down soon then” I thought, but it’s been around 40 minutes since then and the game is still very much playable. Well, sort of. You can’t really leave whichever part of the map you were in when the Beta ended, which in my case meant I can’t go into town, and after a few deaths in an event (which still pop up normally from time to time), well, my character sort of… left.
Yep, that’s me, right there getting hit by the big werewolf, except I’m entirely invisible – and not because of a game mechanic either.
I also encountered other players that were stuck in my zone and we’ve been pretty much waiting on one of the public events to respawn and then doing that since the Beta ended, still getting loot, XP and even levels!
It’s been a fun little extra bit of time with the Beta, but with a fully invisible character, stuck in that one zone, I think it may be time to move on. But I’m sure many will stay in for as long as they can, just to see how long it takes for Blizzard to kick us all out. As for playing the actually full Beta again, we’ll all have to wait until next weekend to get back in, and this time get to try out 2 more classes!
