the lobby server connection has encountered an error 2002

The maint notices were on the launcher as well, before and after you log in.

lol the links?

Even putting it in your face doesn't help. There is always a screen with maint info that pops up on login that you have to interact with to continue to the game and people still complain about not knowing about maintenance.

Multiple links in a gilded box that takes up a fourth of the launcher. There's also been a notification in the chat upon logging in for several days.

Ah yes, the links. Trouble is, there are ALWAYS links there for one reason or another.
To be honest though, I didn't bother checking those because I thought there was an issue with MY game or computer. Again, error 2002? How am I supposed to know what that means?

I feel more, "Well, you should have read harder," coming.

Does this mean the forums are just meant to shame ppl
or are they actually designed to help provide quick answers to confused players? For both hard and EASY answers.

Original posters question on what error 2002 was answered in a polite and respectful manner manner and the following questions were answered in the same polite and respectful manner. You just came in and then complained about not knowing what the error was and acted like all this was SE's fault for not making it more obvious that there was going to be maintenance today. Then you berate people who think reading notifications and updates should be something you do. Berating people who informed the ones complaining that there's been news updates about this since February.

If you're looking for people to sugarcoat your situation, this isn't the right place for you. You'll find that most regular forumers here, myself included, have a pretty strong aversion to people who complain where they have no real reason to, people who continue to complain even though things have been explained in a respectful manner and people who complain that they haven't been made the center of the universe and they haven't been handheld long enough.

So basically, we're mostly allergic to bullshit.
