Best served with cold steel.

Absolutely ridiculous, yes the dev team deserves this negativity. You have one of the few mmos that can sustain a monthly subscription, and ONE issue, THE SAME EXACT ISSUE has been going on for more than 24 hours?

Its 2017, how is one thing taking this long to fix? And your "fixes" that you are putting through are breaking the servers? Something else is going on here, It feels like SE is hiding a bigger problem.

They went cheap with server hardware and perhaps they are awful with coding as well. Or even both. The NA server transfer and the multiple excuses of "memory limitations/bandwidth limitations" they come up countless times when we ask for a new feature shows this. They need to stop this and start investing more seriously both in hardware and manpower if they want this game to grow. Things like this don't help the game's reputation.

Excuses are the norm with this game.

"Early access" means stress test. It has for every single game that has launched because the barrier for early access is just buying the game. Just because you read into the early access being some sort of super secret squirrel launch that was gonna be ready to go doesn't mean they owe you anything. If this shit is still jacked by the launch date then you are more then justified in wanting to burn the developers.

1.) If "Early access" means "Stress test" then that is false advertising and you have every right to be mad. It being the status quo is irrelevant.
2.) They don't owe me anything? I paid them. That means they absolutely do owe me what they promised I would get in return for my money. I held up my end of the deal, they have not held up theirs.
3.) The launch date was June 16th. The game is open and people are supposed to be able to play it, as per the promises of the company that sold it to you. That is launch.

They were very sorry the first announcement. Now with the upcoming follow-up I'm sure they will be very very sorry, kappa.

I'd literally give Raubahn my arm as long as he lets me get in the instance.

Confused as to why they keep putting these single person instances right at the start of a new expansion like some type of funnel to the rest of the game.

I think only naive and inexperienced MMO players expect a new expansion launch to go off without a hitch on day 1. However, we can't tell how "awesome" or "amazing" this expac is supposed to be because of poor design decisions on multiple levels.

I feel bad for the engineers who probably saw this coming, said something about it, and were shut down by management. I have no sympathy for people who write off preventing major issues like this and place the burden of dealing with the fall-out on the same people who wanted to prevent it in the first place.

At this point either give us an auto-clear of the instance (it's not a major part of the story- it's taking out some stupid mechs) or tell us what you're working on. Having so many people unable to move on over 24 hours after launch is unacceptable.

The bottleneck will simply happen elsewhere. Just a few quests after that people have said there's another solo instance.

Would you rather they made a 4-person instance with an AI character you have to escort? I have no idea what's in this instance, but every solo instance typically is "help AI character defeat wave of baddies" If they turned them into 4-person escort missions (people hate escort missions) it would be like steps of faith every time, with nobody following mechanics.

I think sitting there trying to decide if a developer is "wrong" or "right" is ridiculous. Like, what do you think goes on when they make these games? Like are we even sure this is the same problem that has happened before? Just because it seems the same doesn't mean it is. The hyperbole and salt in some of these posts are overboard. It is 2017 and MMOs are not new. It is par for the course for shit to go wrong at launch. Be grateful you have a game director who stays engaged with the community and a company that is actively trying to keep you guys satisfied instead of setting them on fire everytime they do something "wrong"

Selling a product that doesnt work is wrong yes?

I honestly wish this was an option in-game.
