Your plan with overcrowded servers has failed you.

[Hyrist]

You... are speaking out of a profound level of ignorance of anything involving technology, business and people if you think putting this on the lap of Yoshi-P.

Simmer down.

There is no physical way the money can be put behind projects like this, expected or otherwise. Sure, you and argue against the way something functions in production when the problem happens. But you don't get to be put in the 'damned if you do, damned if you don't' positions and decisions that these guys have to face every single day during design, balance, implementation.

And honestly, there's no excuse not to be an informed customer -to not look at the history of popular MMOs and realize that hey, during popular releases, crap like this happens constantly. If you need a socially understood equivalent, every time there's an online game release or expansion, it's the Zombie apocalypse, the Day Z movie level Zombie apocalypse. Put bluntly, there's more of us than they could possibly be ready for.

Blizzard really is the only company with the level of dedicated funding to their MMO project that can handle a large tide of numbers, and that's mainly because their numbers have been declining for the better part of a decade now.

Yes, crap like this happens, but it's handled signficantly better in other games...

Want the WoW-WoD example:
1) Roadblock quests were fixed within hours
2) Server load was alleviated within days by actually increasing the physical hardware
3) They compensated with playtime.
4) They communicated -up to- hourly.

What we have here? An "apology" stating "just wait it out"....

Yeah, I love that last part. "Hey guys, we're stupid and don't feel like actually spending more money on increasing hardware server space, so uh, just wait it out. Eventually, you're bound to get through as others do."

Because that's exactly how it's going to happen. Why are they going to waste additional money on adding hardware that is only going to be temporary in use for a problem that is temporary.

I'm not going to reply to anything you said out of the respect that you don't know me and by making blind assumptions that I know nothing of anything involving any aspect of gaming and the business of gaming and technology. But I will say it is rude to make assumptions of people based on something they bring up as a general concern for the populace of an entire game. Even the Japanese Players are complaining about the issue with the MSQ.

TLDR: Don't make blind assumptions of people. It makes you look hypocritical.

Cool, prove me wrong. Explain what's going on in depth and how you think you can solve the bottleneck. I'll reply and tell you why it wont work.

I'm not being hypocritical. I'm speaking from experience. Let's see if yours matches up.

Have you not been reading ANY other threads? Several people have offered workarounds and solutions. Have you judged all those solutions as unviable solutions? What I say would just be a complete repeat as other people have suggested.

Allowing us to queue for it, in order to create a line to help it smoothly play out.

Allowing players to bypass this mission for this one, which'll let players progress without this block that's also sending too much server data.

If neither of those, some compensation at least. We got locked out of 90% of the content because of this. People are upset, and because of it, will actually end up NOT enjoying it once it's fixed, only making the problem hurt the game.

Your own stupidity has proven you wrong.
