While frustrating today, it’s great the game is so popular. Good sign for longevity

Apparently all the server hosts are being DDOS'd

May as well learn how to fly helicopters in training mode while waiting
Update from the Discord channel, was about an hour ago though

Mini-Update on this @here
We're seeing more players start to filter into matches - appreciate the patience
In-server player numbers are increasing as the queue is being processed slowly.
We'll update you all more when we can.

I don't understand how the beta can run so well and now it's just broken
Thousands more players who didn't buy into the beta have joined.
Like always more players than servers\space.
Similar thing happened when D4 was released. Had a friend who booked the day off and spent all day waiting in a queue to not get on lol
Beta etc all went fine and I played without any issues but this was limited to about 4,500 players at the time but unsure what this got too when they opened it more and sent out invites.
The chat is going mental on Discord and so many people are replying you cannot even read it lol

They are currently trying to sort it but no eta on when this will be done.I'm glad I've not gone time to dive in yet. Maybe tomorrow night though when things (might) have settled.
Sounds like you would not have missed much lol

The player count in the beta slowly increased over 24+ hours. This is 300k people trying to get in at once. Big big difference.
Absolutely. Launch day on any game is usual rough as no amount of planning, more planning and over planning will stop that spanner being well and truly thrown into the works by something. So many additional systems with multiplayer games that it's just a factor of `x` in terms of what can go wrong.
Even SP games aren't immune to it.... then you find the bugs in the game as the hoards of players beta test your game.

Miss the good old days where games where about single player and multiplayer was optional as then it didn't matter about servers
