So how is EU launch going?

[Donald Hellscream]

Smooth as butter for me so far, not a single dc or anything.

[Sierra85]

from what i've heard its going really well. the shard technology they're using is great?!

[Deleted]

Smooth with only 2 bugs. One buged teleport to Demon Hunter class hall and a major bug on the ship that takes us to the first area.
Just abandon the quests and accept them again.

No disconects and i am not seeing many people. I think most people didnt pre order and are going to the store tomorrow.

OR

Is Blizzards new technology of phasing. I don't know

[Ealyssa]

~1 hour queue, but once in smooth reeeeeeeaaly smooth

[Tenjen]

smooth as butter. some frame rate drops in certain areas but nothing debilitating. The isle quests just snapped on at launch.

Though in Val, i seem to have been sitting at malf's ankles while he ran at break neck speed. I suspect i was supposed to ride him as a deer.

Yeah - you meant to be put on his 'deer' form... that form not spawning happens a bit - similar to your toon appearance not showing for some seconds after you portal somewhere.

Thanks! I'm complete now. I'll start leveling in Azsuna tomorrow, can't wait.

Hate that I have the first week of school during launch, but I'm napping periodically until launch so I can get some in tonight.

So would you guys say it's operating at a Michael McDonald level of smoothness?

For a second there, I thought the realm went down as I got disconnected, but apparently my ISP just decided to do their weekly restarts or something. I mean, sure, it was like 3:45 on a Tuesday morning, so not like prime time or anything, but kind of annoying and scary during an expansion launch!

Thankfully it was just quick restart.

[Manakuski]

Awesome. No issues.

[Maerad]

What is annoying is that blizz is not capable of adding couple of servers to support big realms and raise theri capacities. Its annoying when u get in after 1 hour queue, got dc and be back in queue again. Multibilion company my ass.

Anyways, hope the queue will be down soon.

Dude... really, you can't just add "a couple of servers". That's not how it works anywhere. There is a maximum you can support on a specific system, because their are always bottlenecks that can't be "multithreaded".

And every Server that is overpopulated had at least once a chance for a free char transfer. This is one of the ways they try to keep the load even.

Sure their tech can support a fuckload of ppl now, but if you ever worked with a cluster scenario, you would know you can't expand forever.

[Palaplu]

Bronzebeard EU here got home at 01h45, logged in without any problems, no disconnects or issues so far.

[Shadow Fox]

Did the realms open at exactly the post time, or did they open prior to the "official" launch time?

I remember Mists and Draenor opening awhile before the launch (NA for Mists was nearly 2 hours ahead.)

[Deleted]

I got the quest about 5 minutes to the hour, so not much earlier. Other people didn't get it at the same time (were complaining on the chats) so the realms weren't completely synced in that regard.

[Rogalicus]

Pretty good so far. I had some trouble with Destro quest because Khalid seems to be able to talk to only one warlock at a time (even though the quest is phased) and also I have insane freezes in Dalaran, dunno if it's FPS issue or just server lag.

It's your own fault for playing on a high pop realm.

It is a fucking video game not something mission critical that requires 100% uptime not to mention the fact Blizzard already did this hence why we aren't seeing near the amount of issues with Legion launch that we did with Wod launch.

[Grimfrost]

Flawless! Seriously, it's amazing

You got the quest like 5 minutes to midnight, not something mentionable.

EDIT: Also perfect launch, nothing was laggy except khadgar in Deadwind pass due to 5000 people spamming spells and shit, then it was a blast for 3½ hours so far

[Kuntantee]

This is the smoothest launch in the history of gaming. Either WoW has pathetically low number of subscribers, or Blizzard did this right. I believe it's the latter.
