Can't log in

Well this is a first. I've always been able to log into the game and now it's saying there's an error... In like 5 different languages.

I'm using a PS4 and I am trying to get into the game by entering my username and password. Unfortunately that window doesn't even pop up and it just says "An error has occurred. Please try again later" (along with other languages). About 30mins later, still the same. So I have no idea what's happening. Also, there was JUST an update for the PS4 (1.70) last night but I don't think it has anything to do with this... Maybe.

So if anybody can help me out, it'll be greatly appreciated. I am currently on this game on my free trial and I wish to continue with this game after the trial has ended. It's pretty fun :)

Looks like Sony having problems with the 1.70 update... complaints popping up a good bit at their forums:

Seems to be a lot of problems reported at the downdetector site as well:
