It wasn't the case in HW, because they weren't stupid enough to put every player in 1 unique 10-15mn roadblocking instanced quest. They put 2 starting zone with content in both of them. Here, we have 1 of those 2 starting zones that have less than 10 quest, before sending you back to the roadblock. So yeah, seeing they did something intelligent that worked in the previous expansion, I didn't expect them to go back to something as dumb as what we have today.

Makes you wonder just what SE paid for with the data center move and server upgrades.

Through the spam I think

I had no issues when Legion launched. I had no issues when Hearth of Thorns launched.... You can make all the excuses you want, they should be implementing a fix. We are paying customers.

Yep. Legion and Heart of Thorns launched really well. Really makes me wonder if SE wants people to just not sub anymore.

Most recent mmos I have had no such huge issues on launch. The queues for sure are always there on higher pop servers, but I have not experienced anything like this in an mmo in a long time =/

all this data issues with limited instance servers and inventory data issue making log every other mmo has impossible....really makes me wonder sometimes. This game is also newer than a lot of the mmos that have implemented those features, would think the technology was better.

Remembering HW launch I expected smooth experience. This is just awful and I start to regret spending extra cash on collector edition. How come you design a game that you know thousands will play, and don't expect tons of people to try to get through MSQ. It's just beyond me. My hype has gone down a lot within last few hours. Saying it as someone who's been playing since day 1. So much for "early access". I'm tired of hearing bullshit like 'server limitations' and what not, yet making tons of cash shop items and merchendise to cash the hell out of this game. Spend those profits to actually prevent nonsene like this from happening in the future.

Really does make me think SE underestimate just how many people planned to play it today, did they think people wouldn't book time off work or take a 'holiday' from school. >.> <.< >.>

Same exact thing happened in ARR also, not being able to do anything with instanced servers...I think it took over a day to fix too

If I had to guess I would guess they don't want to make infrastructure changes for a problem that is only there for 1 or 2 days every 2 years (when expansion releases) and is a non-factor all other times. Sad but might be true

Just allow us to skip the gameplay part of the instance, watch the cutscene and move on :(
