Lexi, What server are you going on ?

Widow, Exile. I have no friends or even mild associates playing but I DONT CARE!

 

[Ferny]

These login servers are fun!

These login servers are fun!

You left Mumble and then this happened. Simple coincidence? I think not.

 

[TheYanger]

welcome to every mmo launch ever guys!

 

[LowParry]

Hardcore.

 

[Brick]

Alright, this seems like a good time for me to turn in for the night. Good luck, all!

 

[QisTopTier]

welcome to every mmo launch ever guys!

It's fun explaining this to people at every single launch.

I broke it

 

[lexi]

Btw I don't have 2 step authentication or whatever and I can't login either, so it's not that.

 

[OdinDemonZero]

Man this login boss is tough as hell.

 

[helloresolven]

First Raid Boss is OP. Pls nerf, Riot.

 

[Zand]

"Too many failed login attempts, login temporarily disabled. Please try again in a few minutes."

I'm still trying to register my key

Ouch, lol.

Auth: Yes
Login: No

welcome to every mmo launch ever guys!

I think swtor didn't have this issue, they staggered it more.

Reddit is on Widow Exile.

Marsh (Ausgaffer) + friend are on Widow and Dom.

I'm .. no idea! Was thinking the PVE Oceanic but who knows.

We need to learn the telegraphs better.

 

[Giriath_89]

Over 400.000 viewers on Twitch now!

 

[Dead Prince]

Got my code for the weapon contest

 

[Uthred]

The fact that it happense for nearly every launch doesnt make it better, arguably it makes it worse, its not as if there arent ways around it.

 

[Sorian]

Unhandled NC Platform Error 15

 

[Crackbone]

Unhandled NC Platform Error 15

Same. Something new. Better or worse, don't know lol.

 

[ValfarHL]

Everything is better than a timeout!

 

[Uthred]

Unhandled NC Platform Error 15

Its not even its final form

 

[Sephirus]

Play a race in MK8, try to login. Play another race, try and login again.

Pretty alright with my situation right now.

Enjoy the wait guys!

The swtor stagger was AWFUL. Unbelievably awful. for entirely different reasons.

 

[Sorian]

Same. Something new. Better or worse, don't know lol.

Not even attempting to verify anything either, I hit submit and get that error instantly.

Edit: Client is saying realms down now too.

 

[TharpDaddy]

According to Gaffney it might be a DDOS

Appears to be DDOS attack - under investigation/working on doing network ninjitsu to cure.
Sorry for interruption working on it!
This is real time info, so may change.

From Reddit

 

[BearPawB]

not even sure why i bother with launches anymore.

Diablo, Sim City, any MMO. Never worth the greif


DDOS smells like BS.
Isn't a ddos basically the same as "a lot of people trying to log in at once"?
Calling that an attack seems...eh

 

[JLeack]

Well, this couldn't possibly be worse than Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn's launch. Now that was a disaster.

 

[StMeph]

RIFT had the smoothest MMO launch that I've ever participated in.

 

[GhostRidah]

Wouldn't be a online game launch without the timeouts.

 

[Shahadan]

Play a race in MK8, try to login. Play another race, try and login again.

Pretty much what I'm doing too !

 

[Sorian]

DDoS attack? Or, maybe, just maybe, a lot of players are trying to log in but sure scapegoat it to look good

 

[Jira]

Rift, SWTOR, and GW2 have been the only launches I can name that didn't shit themselves right out the gate. Maybe Aion as well...though my memory is fuzzy on that one.

Seriously. Is this a new thing? The name reservation page also collapsed under the load.

All 3 of those games had major queue problems, but at least they let people log in.

 

[C.Dark.DN]

Wth you guys. Not doing a PVP Exiles guild.

I don't want to be marooned on the Brazilian Pergo Prego Pregnant server

WoW didn't have a smooth launch either in EU in 2004/5 even the US. I remember being in queue every night almost 3000 or more in front of me before i could play.

It helped that they unlocked that pgae like 2 minutes early so I could sneak in and get my name

There's probably a pretty clear distinction between hundreds of thousands of players trying to log in vs actual DDOS. I doubt they'd make the claim unless they had evidence for it, considering they flat out said the reservation stuff was their fault.

 

[pelican]

Has anyone actually managed to get in?

 

[LowParry]

Doubt it.

Not as clear as you would think.

You have more faith in them than I do. A name reservation page screwing up and a launch screwing up are in different ball parks.

It's Blizzard's first attack before unleashing WoD Beta on June 3rd.

Okay, folks, it's not a hamster okay. It's a Chompacabra and there's plenty of them on Nexus to take your vengeance upon! #WildStar

I hope they do release the beta that day, then maybe I'll have less issue logging in here.

 

[pelican]

Eh? Is the beta launching next week?

 

[MedIC86]

So what's the consensus after the beta and now nearing launch for Wildstar? just another mmo with a good launch and inevitable F2P in the next year? or is it something good this time.

I keep hearing this joke, and it's still funny.
