Well i guess its what the PR guy is telling them to tell. I bet the PR guy cant open a computer without help…
there seems to be a lot of non-server status updates in here. can we maybe keep the posts to server updates?

Did ya check steam concurrent player counts?
Was fine at around 160~180k Users. Runnign super smooth today.
Just too many people login in at once and breaking the server again.
Its all about the lemming rush.
As soon as that happens and people try to relog… they propogate it and make it worse xd.
DOS Attack of the finest level.
I think they spent money to whiskey(celebration) instead server

couldnt agree more.
but in the end the pathetic dev simps are going to lower their expectations more and more. thats why video game companies can basically do whatever they want nowadays without having to worry about any negative impact on them.
the statement from judd on the first day made me even more angry than the issues itself. he honestly said “they thought they were overprepared” whilst everyone and their mothers already knew that there gonna be server issues cause even companies like blizzard got them occasionally for a couple of hours on a launch. just not this bad.
i thought EHG was a company made of arpg enthusiasts which would suggest that they actually play a lot of arpgs themselves. so how is it even possible to make the same mistakes as the other companies but FAR WORSE.
tbh, as much as i love many of the game systems, especially the awesome crafting system, if it would be possible for me to refund, i would and i even didnt do that on the warcraft 3 reforged launch. sadly i got more than 900 hours in the EA so i cant refund anymore. but that was in the EA so i knew what i was getting myself into with potential bugs and issues, not on a launched title.
i took 2 days off from work to binge the game and those days are completely wasted now. but im glad that the EHG team didnt have to do night shifts to fix their game. their free time is obviously more valueable than the players.
but atleast we are getting an ugly af cloak for 50 LE Coins for free. Problem solved.

From what I’ve been seeing so far honestly, I got the feeling that their whole “battle tested overprepared” infrastructure failed and they didn’t really know how to fix it. Subsequently, they are now setting up a new infrastructure that will hopefully work.
Its just really depressing tbh.

EU is a joke at this point.
Down and stuck again in loading screen.

Oh heh, let’s see… FF14 (1 week of 10k+ queues) FF had the same exact problem. Popularity.
Bliz Cata (and before) whole days down.
Bliz, Bliz, Bliz . Dragonflight was a smooth launch but the rest were pretty shakey.
It happens. Relax.
Last night, the play was smooth, zoning was very smooth. I would rather a bit of down time than to deal with the standing in front of a zone for 20 mins trying to get in.

Hard coping again. Let me add lost ark to that list. You know what the diff was between ffxiv and lost ark and this? That you waited 4h in 10k queue and then played the game. Here you are waiting 4 days to be able to login 
Thing is, D3 was 12 years ago. Scaling solutions have become way better and more accessible since then. Cloud computing wasn’t really something that everyone used. And now you don’t even need to have your own physical servers anymore as everything can be run in clouds.
Update: We are starting to spin up new infrastructure to handle increased traffic. We expect will result in some services becoming temporarily unavailable over the next 30 minutes
Then maybe…

My toughts exactly.
Not nice that we cant satisfy our addiction…
But we’re gonna survive!
xD
not like people were asking for that from minute one of the server crashes.
imagine those “arpg enthusiast devs” knowing better than the players who actually play games on launch days.
I played for 5 hours straight. With super low load times.
Before the server broke ^^.
Game is very enjoyable.
Your just salty and angry ya cant play what ya want to play xD.
They starting at 6pm gmt…? 
Bets are accepted… 
Just came home and wanted to play… again impossible, it’s Saturday is’t about time to make this thing work right ? …
This is hilarious :))) You have any idea what it means to settle new infrastructure in such short time? Jesus Christ some people here, make me wanna migrate to the moon and never look back. 50% of the people here refuse to use their brains. 20% trolls and the rest are trying to bring in light in people’s mind. Yet no success. Exhibit above.

I say the server are back at 7pm. I’m finishing up a render atm … which takes way to long.
Still want to do another 3d render… before being addicted again.
Was fine before 3 pm. Too many people login in at once in EU probably broke it.
First EU server died then US server got laggy and stuff.
Got kicked off that too then xD.
Was fine for liek 11 hours… so hope the new login servers will fix it.
Cause wil small load times, LE is super fun.
Level 70 OP Falconer here xD.
How old are you? When you will start earning your own money and paying for products, you will hopefully develop some critical thinking towards what was advertised and what you get when you buy it.
I actually wanted this game to succeed, played in EA here and there. But the way this is handled is completely amateurish and many, who have twice your age and experience in online games, have correctly pointed out that bias aside, this is perhaps the worst launch of a relatively “hyped” game in memory.
That’s what saddens me even more tbh, its not like this is smashed with 1M CCU like lost ark was at start (bots), but they are still not even close to handling it.
