Nope you didn't add enough plots SE...

[Bourne_Endeavor]

For most people it's not because they didn't get one. It's because the reason they didn't get one is entirely out of their control and entirely within SE's abilities to control. I haven't heard one person yet complain about having to lose sleep to try and get one. People are complaining about the fact the servers can't handle even a moderate influx of people trying to log in and just crash and cause errors. I am willing to bet that if most of us got straight on, ran to the plot and didn't get it we'd be like "OK, maybe next time". But when you get CB'd by error messages which prevent you from logging in then of course you're going to be pissed, and rightly so.

This is exactly the issue. Friend of mine got a 5006 error followed by a second lobby server error. She's running a damn good laptop while I have a 4k capable PC with a 980ti. Both of us have solid internet. Now I don't say any of this to brag but to emphasis our loss is entirely on SE's abysmal servers. There was literally nothing either of us could do differently.

Five people in my FC got the 'Failed to validate' error on the launcher forcing them to delete the launcher file and update which resulted in a long enough delay to place them in queue. From what I'm hearing we weren't alone either, the bugs seemed to be out in force this particular patch which is unfortunate considering how anticipated Shirogane has been. It's almost like Early Access all over again.
