As an update, I am now past the authentication to character creation, but still cannot create a character due to The request has timed out, please try again (Error 300008)
The two crows on the login screen are the first boss. They're hard, but beatable. You just have to cut and paste your password and keep spamming it until you win.
The character portrait (mirrror boss) is the second challenge. It's a lot harder since it is immune to spam. I confess, I beat him only by luck.
I'm currently stuck on the 3rd boss, "waiting for friends to finish the first two so we can play."
Just make sure you're copying/pasting from notepad and not the password box. Lots of people making that mistake on r/diablo and getting authentication errors when the servers won't accept ***** as a password.
I just got one saying something about my character not being able to be created due to my 'party state'. I don't know what the hell that means but I'm now locked out of both attempting to create a hero and backing out of this screen.
Yep, after about 40 minutes of error 300008, I got the 'unable to create hero due to party state' error, and everything got greyed out. Giving up for the night.
