Good Launch Square. Good Job

My server took a complete and total crap and I'm not complaining. In fact, I kinda gave up for a while.

My third disconnect (Look at queue behind):

Of course i went back to over 2,5k

Or you could have waited a measly 2 or 3 hours and get in just fine.

What happens when you get a sudden surge of 1000's people try to connect to a server at once? You get problems. They have plenty of ways of mitigating those problems and they are in place. There is only so much they can do because it is a huge influx of traffic to deal with.

And to be honest, it has so far gone better than I expected, we've had worse in previous years and they've put in a lot to help alleviate the problems, but I was expecting the sudden influx or new players we have to cause bigger problems this time around, especially as the current capacitor shortage and global pandemic has made getting new servers a problem, which are 2 things beyond their control.

Obviously can't speak for other data centers, but it's been wonderful on Crystal. Queue is down to 30ish people and no disconnects.

Remember game got delayed 2 weeks and this was the result.

But it's ok cause Yoshi P cried.

I was at 2491, next time I looked at it I was at 2793 - without any error. If there is logic, I don't have the capacity to understand :'D

I'm pretty sure the 2 weeks delay isn't about this EA issue.

I got in with a queue of only 13 this morning, no third party launcher. Just did the same trick you always do. Check server status button, then back to main launcher page, repeat until Play works. Call it cheating if you want, I call knowing how to force my launcher to refresh.

Odd, I was on an hour after it went up and until Phoenix took a dump.

Waiting a bit wasn't too bad.
