1.0 Server Status Thread

Every forum crashes when launch day issues arise, everybody floods it looking for answers. Still not a great thing.

youre hear posting on the forums after getting scammed, don’t act like youve never made plans around a game

You can’t migrate an offline character to online.

not when it comes to handling larger than expected load. you don’t just add infinite space without consequence - files have to be prepared for a server, hardware needs to come online, etc. nothing is instant if you’re moving huge amounts of data like that, it’s not like adding 10gb of storage to google drive lol

Whenever anyone tries to promote their stream it just tells where to find them and report them for endangering minors!

see you in a month. hahaaaa

Congrats! Thats the best game launch I’ve seen in days!

The last launch for PoE that was even remotely bad was Ultimatum and it was 45 minutes of queueing max, the big drama was streamers skipping the queue nt though.

It’s funny to me how people don’t understand the costs when it comes to running servers. It is way too idealistic to think, “Oh? 1 Million people? Just get 1 Million slots!”

You have to factor in that not everyone is getting on at the exact same time. You have to factor in the retention rate of players and how many you want to sustain.

You have to remember, the team in the past 3 months alone went from averages of 2k-3k to 28k-35k in the past week. And now dealing with +100k. You can try to prepare for it as much as you want, but unfortunately, server issues are a reality we have to deal with. You can simulate/emulate scenarios and prep, but some estimations will be off when it comes to the actual release. It’s honestly the same deal with Helldivers II.

Am I upset that I can’t play the game right now? Yes. But I am understanding enough not to crucify the devs for technical issues. Plus, there are plenty of other games I can catch up on. The game isn’t going anywhere, so I’ll chill, go to the gym, or even play a bit of Persona 3 Reload in the meantime.

people were comparing this to diablo and now i can see why, over 7 years development and cant even get servers stable. great start.

No disrespect meant, but Judd is a developer and in IT, development and infrastructure are completely different disciplines. He mentioned the use of third parties to test the infrastructure ahead of time. If this is true, then the issue might be with their code, which will be a lot harder to fix than simply throwing hardware at an overloaded system or increasing network bandwidth.

Regardless, being able to play offline is actually a pretty decent workaround and the future potential for this game is huge.

have fun :v: the less entitlted lunatics playing the better, community doesn’t need you

Well, I got in, made it across the forest road and even managed to get into the Keeper’s camp. No lag at all. Rejoiced too soon, got stuck trying to enter the Fortress Gardens.
