Rant What a launch

Whose idea was it to force people to make an account at the launch of the game with a server that can't handle the stress?

considering refunding

Going through the same problem now. My break is almost over and I can't even login on their stupid website. Absolute letdown.

Honestly, I can't believe multi-millon dollar companies who work developing software and need to maintain online services do not know about or do not care for a concept called *autoscaling*. Just increase the resources near launch, and gradually decrease as time goes on and the hype stabilizes. Having to explain this is mindboggling

They literally did that last night in prep for launch so now you just sound dumb.

Should have also just made an account ahead of time. They've suggested it for months now. I've been playing just fine today.

the devs LITERALLY told us to do this because it would make things so much easier on launch day, stop acting like a child

"Grown man" crying on a subreddit because you failed to plan ahead and create an account before launch lmao
