This is really a big joke, this brings me back to the Diablo 2 blizzard launches, failed every launch.

How can you not prepare anything for stuff like this?

And diablo 3 launch aswell. Considering the size of Blizzard's, there's quite some money to be bet on the fact that scalability and load handling of servers under popular launch conditions are hard to test, even if they can be forecasted.

I'm not any kind of expert, just saying

League needs to be reset.

Where the vote for restart? somebody make a vote

Be fair GGG

RESET LEAGUE - that is not fair - they are playing and we can watch - fuck the top streamers ....

:(

quick!

go buy a char slot so ggg can pay for another flawless launch!

the only ones that were flawless were the alpha and beta test realms.

Can we have a bug autopsy as a developer manifesto after this? Like, how does that happen 10x memory use? Seems rather excessive.
I'd be very interested to know how that happens and I'm sure the community and any game developers would also want to know.

Many people need to remember, that the only way for them to test the servers is to run them with high capacity, which is impossible prior to launch. The error just became apparant with several hundred thousand people playing. The overall launch was very good, i remember games with downtimes of 10+h for expansions and only half of the population being able to play (...ArcheAge...).


Regarding a restart of the challenge league, this would sadly also be rather difficult or how would you feel loosing a tabula or other strong uniques early on just because of a server issue.


Hopefully the servers will be back up soon.

rollback everyone to level 5... cause i already found a nice gem.. lol
