This is still a better launch than WoW ever dreamed of.

I am sorry some of had problems. My wife and had a couple of disconnects, DX 11 would not let me choose a any res over 1920 by 1080(I play on 3 monitors 5780x1080) but could still play DX9 I am super pleased.

I got error 90002 only twice followed by 3-5 lobby error 2002 since I was trying to relogin asap. So It was very good.

On balmung, I got booted a few times due to possibly DX11 bugs crashing my client. Then having to deal with mashing the login a few dozen times. Then getting into queue finally only to be kicked several times at 50 left in queue, or even 1(more common). But I did eventually get back in. IMO this is one of the best launches for a hyped up xpac, I've seen. I'm happy with it. I fully expected to not be able to play hardly at all all weekend, like previous launches. But on a side note, that lack of a instance in northern than, was a huge over sight lol.

Draenor launch was an absolute disaster compared to this. The queue was up to 5000 (over 10k on day one), my character data was rolled back a few times (xp was lost) and people would get disconnected when entering their instanced home base where all the quests were, unable to log back in because the instance server fried. When the servers got temporarily fixed players were back in the 3 hour queue. That lasted 2 weeks....

It's been 3 days of early access now and things are looking pretty stable. Queue is 20 at most on Odin and lobby server errors seem rare. I had it only one time and needed less than 10 login attempts to get in.

Heavensward was a really smooth launch. Queues were really small.

I play on exodus. Apart from some queues of 5-17 people, and a couple of 5002s where I just had to try three times to log on, this went extremely smoothly for me.

If I have to read one more this is the best launch ever topic iam going to vomit, try playing on the Aether Data Center and get back to me

I play on Gilgamesh and manage to get myself online with some server acrobatics.

It IS a lot better than the Warlords of Draenor launch which is the launch I think OP is talking about. Imagine the inability to connect to a server and when you did connect you had to wait in a world queue of several thousand that could take hours (in my case it was 6 hours). Then you get into the server and hit a bugged area, extremely high latency, crash, and have to go through the whole mess again. Blizzard had to give an official apology for how poorly the launch went. I think that the game came under a DDoS attack on launch day too. Dungeons and battlegrounds and many other bits of instanced content were flat out broken.

This launch is not perfect (and I'm fairly certain those of us in early access are a smoke test) but it is definitely smooth compared to Warlords.

Even though the queue times were low for me (like ~1 minute or less), I can't say anything for the new expansion. I couldn't get into Ishgard, nor pickup the new jobs. Even though I may have had the pre-order CE (I think), there was no way for me to verify it. For me, this expansion has been completely useless, and the first time ever, in any game, that I couldn't derive even just one iota of benefit from it. Nothing new for me here; moving on...

Do you have the Steam version? There is a CD Key, it's the second one (for pre order bonus). You plug that in on Mog Station.

If you've tried all that already, I apologize.

[Whiteroom]

Its been great for me. Only have encountered a few bugs so far. One I had to restart my PS4 after an afk kick to reconnect to lobby, they Flying Polar Bear in CWH, and one where I queued into The Vault from a cutscene and the cutscene music played the whole map, rather than the standard music.
