How the Open Beta launch went for us

I was surprised how well the servers held up at launch. It took a couple hours to download the patch but after that the game ran smooth except for the crashes, but the servers came up fast.

Really nice read, thanks for sharing it with us :)

Awesome launch, thanks for posting the story, was an interesting read!

Looking forward to sinking in countless more hours in PoE!

Smoothest online game launch I've been a part of!

Congratulations to all of GGG (and the community) on the much deserved and well earned success!

Cheers!

I Love this game and the attitude your company takes in driving it forward.

Please do fix the multitude of game crashes based on "Unable to load Riverstreams" Or "Running out of memory , Unable to load".

I play this game for like 3-4 hours and it crashes. Its not on your "to-do" list but please take a look at it once you get a chance. I love you guys

P.S - WHY NO NEW BUILDS OF THE WEEK :(

Congratulations on a very good launch day! The issues with the patcher were nothing, gameplay stayed at 60ms steady latency and the occasional server crash (now fixed) didn't mean I had to wait in queue for hours to get back in. All in all, one of the best launches I've ever experienced.

The game is absolutely amazing under every aspect that matters, having lots of fun, and it gets better and better as I progress through levels.

I truly hope this turns out into profit for you guys, and you'll be able to deliver additional content over the following years.

Long live PoE, long live GGG!

P.S.

Also thanks for this amazing drop I found! Talking about thoughtful itemization, this ring will be good forever, since all its stats modifiers are percentages. Whooohooo!

The game is perfect . You guys did a great job. Crashes and stuff not even important.

You guys have to be proud of your work. Great game, great fun.
Best wishes from Italy!

I love this game to death, but yesterday i did experience quite a few login issues, hopefully it was just due to too many ppl tring to log in.

Congrats guys on the launch. Its taken you many a year to get to this point and if sales and logins are any measure its been a screaming success.

The difference between this and other games is that you actually have your player base excited FOR you. Rather than have some white collar corporate prigs in control, we have people who were 'us' at one stage, players. Who took their game experiences and made us a game that is not only great to play but has a great replayability.

The constant feedback we get from GGG is what makes the experience of those little bugs livable. We don't just get 'we're working on it' we get told exactly what the problem is and even who is working on fixing it.

One minute downtimes are a dream compared to those 12 hour maintainance marathons on some games. I'd rather have a dozen 1 minute downtimes a day than not be able to get online for hours on end.


You all deserve every success with this game, you've put blood sweat and tears into it and I personally hope you get to reap a huge reward at the end of the day.

Might want to start buying more servers if reviews are anythign to go by.
