Unable to connect to data center

Ok ... so it is June 19 2015 at about 3:53 PM MST
I logged into the game and I clicked the start button
it kept saying connecting to the Data Center

Then it gave me the error message of
"The lobby server connection has encountered
an error 2002"

The server which I play on is Mateus on
the North American Servers.

It is trying to connect to the Ather Data
Center.

I was able to connect at 2:00 AM PST this morning though
and play for a while when the servers first came up and
I was able to connect then but not now. I am talking about
when Heaven's Ward first came out on June 19 2015.

I am on the PC platform as well.

It appears to be a random occurring error maybe due to
server loads?

DO a DNS flush and restart your computer. I didn't think it would work but now I'm in a queue. So that's something!

Didn't help.

Also had issues connecting to Mateus on Aether data center. Followed SicariusSeven's suggestion, it did resolve my issue.

I'm getting 2002 and 5002 when trying to connect to the AETHER Data center. When I switch to primal, it seems to let me. But then if I try to switch back, it'll give me 2002 or 5002 error codes.
I don't have the new Expansion. I'm on PC. I got the normal game Via Steam. I have the Loader Set to Direct X 11.0 My video card is a Nvidia Geforce GTX 660 ti, my Processor is a Pentium i7 3770 with 8gb ram. My OS is win 8.1

Tried the Flush with no success as well.

Tried the dns flush. Still cant get past 2002

Same here. 2002 even after flushing DNS

The servers must be totally overloaded, like at the initial launch. Somehow SE seems to let more people buy the game than can actually play it due to lobby server and data center capacity issues. But it's all about the $ isn't it?

Same issue and on same Mateus server. Was able to play last night during peak hours, but unable to play all day today, been trying over last 12 hours.
