This again, unforeseen troubles with servers and what not are expected on launch day. Have you any previous experience with an MMO launch NOT failing? I'd like to hear.

I know it will do the people good who you may have played with. I know I'm happy i won't have to deal with a possible guild member who will quit solely because an emergency maintenance happened.

There were downtimes and queues for previous expansions. You said it yourself they aren't comparable, so why do you compare them? If you compare the servers then compare the companies as well. I doubt that Carbine has even a 10th of the resources that Blizzard has, so you should stop for a bit and think about that aswell. The people throwing money at them actually helps them, because if we the people that keep throwing money at them stop, then you won't have a game to play. You do know that they need to get money somehow to pay for the servers and to pay their workers. Because I doubt that the programmers there will work for free. Guys stop whining for a bit and give a constructive feedback. Don't just say system x isn't working. Try to put the steps that lead to that given issue. Otherwise they can just go over and over again in the million lines of code just for a stupid semi column, because no one gave them good feedback where to search and in turn that takes longer time to fix.

H1Z1 didn't have any queue times on launch day and they were hammered with players.

They aren't really, they still suck. But considering nearly no launch, be it the entire game, a patch, f2p or an expansion, has gone without either long queues, lots of bugs or DC etc I think people have reached a state of mind of "well it could be worse. Remember X and Y? Now that was bad!"

Have you ever had to wait to be seated at a busy restaurant? This is basically a launch day of an MMO. Did you expect to just waltz right in and not encounter any que? The only thing I see as a BIG FAILURE is someone's inability to accept launch day obstacles for every MMO on the market. Now, grab your knitting supplies, take a deep breath, and knit yourself a blanky....

Actually, the humorous part of his post was the reference to ESO not having technical/lag/coding issues. =)

Shhhh!

The difference between you and him can be summed up in the following fashion. He expects more than you do. Just because your expectations originated and stayed in the gutter doesn't mean that someone else cannot think differently. He thinks "Hey, games have evolved.  Many of them have been through too many sh1tty launches, including this one!   A combination of good project managers armed with good data can analyze the trends and forecast capacity issues in the upcoming release.  I sure hope the company has learned something, in-fact after every sh1t moment, in the tech world, we usually have a post-morterm so those kind of problems don't occur again!" You don't have the capacity to think in that fashion. And it's fine.

To continue his post, the resturant isn't busy only on opening day, there are days when it full because of some holiday for example. In this case the holiday is a new drop which is the same thing as an expansion for other games. And major patch/expansion/drop (whatever you wanna call them) days are always full of people, so long queues are to be expected, let alone some bugs for a major patch like this one. I mean half the systems in the game were changed, so you can count it as a launch. Otherwise every new moba that is released or every new WoW clone that is released shouldn't have any problems at start, because there was a game of the same genre that was already released, but with different name, right?

Yeah, fanboys are the worst trash on earth, they are so mentaly retarded they cant understand that what they do does more harm than good to whatever they are fanboying, in this case a video game.

1. It's day 1. It's expected to happen. Queues should be fine in a few days 2. There have been more server options (pve,pvp,rp) but they merged into megaservers. As long as they can increase the capacity of the servers there is no need to add more/ 3. The game is not full of paywalls; here is the difference between sub and free. You can buy sub with ingame gold (through credd), you can buy items from the cash shop with bitcoins which they drop randomly from players,monsters,etc, you can buy items from fortune shop with gold. So there are no paywalls; you hae access to everything just by playing the game. 4.check this thread I'd advice you to wait 1 week and come back ;) The game should be stable by then

You can if you play the game. There is already an in-game currency that lets you buy stuff from Cash Shop for free and you can also buy CREDD from the in-game Auction House for in-game currency. And for those 2 particular unlocks you need like 2 CREDDs.

I cant speak on Rift, however SWTOR did have bugs/lag and the only real reason they had minor issues with ques is they launched with over 100 servers which i am only counting NA. Lets take a look at what happened in SWTORs case though. The game had so many under or un-populated servers causing major back lashes and the servers where gaming communities and well known streamers flocked to still ended up with ques.They still lost a good portion of players in the end due to both issues. Also lets not forget the annoying issue with the graphics settings or the memory leaks that plague SWTOR in the beginning. As a side note you really cant comment on ques if you were apart of the first wave, i was in the third and had ques.

And if I remember correctly PS4 and Xboxone players had constant login issues for over a week before they were able to properly play the game after it's B2P relaunch.

Ya, and WoW's expansion releases are basically just glorified patches like this as well, and we all know how that turned out. Honestly, you people are insatiable, don't get how the world works AT ALL and will just cry over any little thing.

Well, when Blizzard launched Legion it's been bugged for days. Ppl couldn't log in, ques, Garrison crash, all kind of bugs. How can you say this is "such a joke"? i don't see it any worse than other games' launch tbh

Lol? Good riddance.

I love to see how so many people are complete experts at MMO expansion launching and care to describe how Carbine could have handled the launch better. Even better is how everyone keeps circlejerking on the forums instead of playing something else until the craze calms down. It's not like yelling in the forums is going to help Carbine fix things.
