1.0 Server Status Thread

So do I understand this right? There are ~150k players who want to play the game and everything is breaking. You sold 1mill+ copys and this is how things start out? A bit disheartening ^^.

Guys I go to work in about 3 hours so don’t worry, servers will come up shortly after that.

D4 all over again. You could have said ur servers can’t handle heat of launch and ill be content. I get it, it’s hard for devs to be ready or every scenario in every situation. I’ve seen it 100 times.

you are wrong, we just need queues so that at least some of the players who came in first could play. It was their big mistake that they didn’t make queues.

That there isn’t one company that can get a launch done smoothly suggests that it isn’t an issue of being “prepared enough” but rather that orchestrating a smooth launch is a borderline-impossible feat.

all that had to be done was to create a queue system, let the first 40 thousand players play and the rest wait.
Why let everyone in at the same time, and then ask questions about why we couldn’t cope?

Good luck

Didn’t they test this last year with the online beta? Didn’t they sell 1 million copies? How could they NOT expect this? This is awful. They should have had the server space available for launch.

When nearly every single release of sizable note has major server issues for the first few hours of release, you’d think the armchair devs and sysadmins would come to the conclusion that this isn’t some major cost cutting measure that any studio willingly undergoes. “Yes, I will handicap my games launch and cause mass trigger-pull refunds from impatient gamers to save on server costs. It’s genius. It works so well when multibillion dollar studios do it, so I should to!”

On this day where my cat died I was hoping this game would at least cheer me up a little. That was apparently too much to hope for.

I work in cloud infrastructure and every time online games run into this I can’t help but ask myself; there are plenty solutions that allow you to scale up and down on demand. What on earth are you using?

I agree about the queues. I think that the servers getting overwhelmed on launch is to be expected. But a queueing system would have allowed some players to have a good experience, while giving others an idea of how long the wait would be. Optimally, it would be nice to allow a player to play offline while waiting in the queue.

Offline mode is fine , just give us a ONE-TIME option to transfer to online mode when servers are stable.

It’s not about servs failure. It’s about being honest that it’s inevitable. It just couldnt be the case. Look at AAA games with SV-only mechanics.

Don’t you know what happened back in 2013??

ERROR 37

And I got PTSD about it.
