Once you get through it, you’ll have a chance to be stuck on Loading Character List… So how do we fix error 37? Time! It will take time for the amount of people logging into servers to dissipate! There is so much Blizzard can do to accommodate a massive amount of gamers waiting to play Diablo 3. Make sure you have set up your Battletag at battle.net and change it if needed.

Make sure you copy your password after typing it out, then paste it every time you are trying to log in since you’ll be logging in a lot of time!

A Lack of Cloth Healing Gear in Dungeons
Our item designers spend a lot of effort making sure there is gear for everyone, so if you haven’t seen a specific piece you might have just gotten unlucky.

Note however that healer cloth is any cloth without hit on it. If you are expecting Spirit on every single piece, you might be disappointed. If you did manage to get Spirit on every single piece, you might find that your regeneration is higher than you really need for level up content. We know we can’t make the level up dungeons super challenging, or players will just skip them and quest instead (given that even the most awesome level up dungeon gear won’t last very long, so it’s not possible to offer high reward for high risk).
