I've been around for all the launches so far (Except ARR). I have to say Stormblood and EW has been awful so far, but both for entirely different reasons.

Stormblood: Couldnt handle the load and no one could get into instances. (Ala: Rauban EX and Pipen Savage)

EW: Login Queue Ultimate and Login Screen Savage, where you get 2002'd, 4004'd, 3001'd and so on. But everything else in game is alright save for like one or two problems I had when the game imploded on itself and closed me to desktop.

But one thing has always been the same between all the Xpacks and its the login queue. I've had to wait in 3k+ queues before (without the 2002's), Idk whats so different this time around, maybe its all the new players wanting to play ontop of old players wanting to get in and play the new xpack so the login servers are overloaded.

This is the best answer I can give on MY experience with all the xpack launces.
