Everyone understands that. But unfortunately it’s not a free to play game, and as a consumer you should make sure that you don’t stand for launches like this. This is a problem with the industry, not EHG themselves. They should have done more extensive stress testing, maybe a beta, who knows. But launching the game and having over a million people pay full price for it to not work on launch is unacceptable.

The servers could not handle the weight of the Burning Legions.
I’m #0 in queue…for the last 15 minutes

i really hope not, hoping when the servers are back my character will be there, i so can’t be bothered doing the story over again, done it like 5 times already in early access and made a cycle character. If its wiped i’m just not bothering with cycle again.
How do you know you are not a troll?
after 2 hours of playing i was locked in the Council Chamber’s (again), tried to relog… result: Can’t log into the online game anymore.
Where do you guys see queue ?
Why would you buy a cosmetic and test it comes through during downtime of a server to “prove” there are issues and give the company more money? If you really had an issue and weren’t trying to make some pointless gesture about greed (this game is not greedy at all) you wouldn’t do that
I went from queuing to initialization
Isn’t it ‘all hands on deck’ until the issues are fixed where you work?
I’m not sure elastic containers would have helped them, as it seems it’s mostly their matchmaking APIs that are going done… which is a weirdly designed system to begin with, but I have to assume they had their reasons to do it that way.
Sure, it probably won’t hurt them in the long run, it’s just tiring to have online game lunches going that bad all the tame. I would love to know how the gaming industry convinced gamers that it’s normal and acceptable that way though. I would have been fired 10 times over if I tried to pull that excuse, but it would make my life so much easier

Server down again ? Why ??
I Work since 7 Years in IT and did a education also. I can just agree with it. Many people have no idea how the whole thing works on this scale… 
At least i can understand People are frustrated because the Servers dont running properly but also i think People should not freak out about this and blame dev’s for not care about or stuff like that.
And I know so many releases from larger studios that were much worse in terms of server accessibility.
Greetings
EDIT:
But I was surprised that the server move is carried out at the same time as the release. I think there will be reasons, but I was already worried before the patch that there would be problems.

The most important date in a games life is Launch Day. It is at this day were you either make the game or break the game.
Almost 24 hours after launch you cant even login to the game.
Good job everyone we broke the game, now lets go and give useless cosmetics to everyone and call it a day.

I mean to be fair, for months diablo/blizzard got trashed daily even for good things they were doing to be followed by epoch stans saying “but epoch has it…” etc…
Epoch has been in alpha/beta for what 3? 4? 5? years? This has been the worst online launch of an arpg of all time, I like the game played beta a lot, I like diablo as well (don’t love it, not a fan boy) BUT all this hype and apoch dev talk… this has been a huge let down we are on hour 20 now where if you can even get into the game it takes 45sec to switch a zone if you are lucky to even be able to switch a zone.
Also all the talk that the ceo plays on controller so controller support will be top notch… what happened? controller support on epoch is terrible, you are playing with a mouse and controller all game.
We just need to call it for what it is, this will be a great game down the road but this launch was terrible to say the least.

Cuz during night when population was low the whole Online play was working just fine, once more ppl started to get on laoding into other maps got slower then the whole thing collapsed so it is tied to capacity even if there is so issue, also if u read this post the leads of server provider spend whole day tryint to fix things so if there were issue with server it self they prolly find it, it is tied to capacity…

100 employers or 1000 employers doesn’t matter, when you pay for something you expect something. Stop defending that attitude, they could borrow more servers only for the beginning, they could add que and so many other things. ( Go do something same at your job and check if you will be fired or not)

Loving the game, hopefully you get the servers worked out soon.
