EPTBut this is the most frustrating start in a while by far. I don't think it's just server load and sheer numbers. Something else going on under the hood. Or a major DDOS issue or something idk.

It makes sense from a business POV, but it's antithetical to the old image of GGG. Classic GGG philosophy wouldn't engage with stuff like this. Ofc, this advantage is not the difference maker between us and the streamers - they play way more and are more skilled. But it is undeniably unfair, and the blatant and brazen nature of it is very jarring. | ||

Yeah, no, not a fan. Not to mention the basic thought of "if we give some people an ingame advantage and us an economic one because exposure that's great let's do it" is a pretty questionable starting place. | ||

Hint: If your whole friend list goes offline before you, the next zone entrance will disconnect you and you'll probably rollback some. So makes no sense to continue playing the zone you're in, unless you can grab a wp, then you can pray it stays. | ||

They deserve all the backlash they get when they make new league such a splash with count down and reveals up to the start. It has nothing to do with the league mechanic. And the fact that it didn't get better at all as the server load shifted and died down (EU/NA getting late and going to bed, etc.) means it's a serious underlying issue. And it's affecting everyone, even the "privileged" streamers with the queue bypass are still facing the same constant disconnects and rollbacks and failed auths, which are probably more wasted cumulative time and progress than the queues themselves now. All you can hope for at this point is that they manage to sort out whatever chaos is going on with their backend as soon as possible, all this fretting about streamers and restarting the league and shit is wasted energy. Edit: Ziz (who's been waiting in queue, not bypassing) just got to Oriath finally and had 7 hours /played on the character even though it was created 11.5 hours ago. Probably a good metric for what the overall uptime has been like for anyone that's been on the entire time and persistently trying to get in. I think he's been streaming since launch, but might have taken some breaks given the issues. | ||

So much for the idea of having a chill morning gaming session. Well, let's see. I played a bit 1h after league start (when the queue issues got resolved) before going to bed and it's a lot worse now. | ||

Do not try to play unless you are fine with basically no progress being saved at all. It has gone from being able to load like 3-4 zones 4 hours ago to discing after each zone that takes 2 minutes. | ||
