And yet again they are completly overwhelmed by the surprisingly high number of players trying to connect exactly at launch of the greatest update the game has ever had, and nobody could have forseen it would come to this and planned in advance. Especially since it happened in like what, every single major content update ever?

Or they're aware that the extra cost required to handle this one (less than 24 hour long) spike in playerbase is more than the opportunity cost in whatever lost income the problems cause.

As somebody working in IT, it really baffles the gently caress out of me how this kind of thing is still happening in 2017. Just use any big cloud vendor (AWS, MS Azure,...), make repeated large scale perf tests beforehand, have their support on stand by and hugely oversize your resources at first cause it's incredibly easy to reduce them if need be.

There's a reason why every major company with specialists and "infinite money" as people like to put still face this exact same issue frequently. It's really, really hard to set these things up and like Agent355 said it's more realistic to do what every company does which is let this poo poo happen for one day, try to scale things up while some people give up on the initial rush as well, and then everything is back to normal.

It can be tiny things tho. Like some operation fails 0.01% of the time and makes a 2 sec lag in the server connection. Not a big deal on beta servers as that lag is just a speed bump that they hardly notice. Massive server load and that start stacking up till it is a title wave that crashes the server. Might also just be a bottle neck issue with their local backbone supplier. Only way to know is if they do a report on it for us.

Nope. Many companies have no issues handling this, it's just that nobody talks about all the launches etc. that went well. You shouldn't even be building this kind of infrastructure as a small company like GGG, have people who know what they are doing host it for you. And of course it's bullshit to just let it happen. You aimed all your marketing at this one moment, you have the attention of hordes of potential customers for one day and you do certainly not want to blow it.

Im totally aware that they just dont give a gently caress about launch day, I mean we all knew it was gonna happen and we all hoped against hope it would be different this time. I just thought for the big ultimate 3.0 release theyd put a little more effort in.

There are still dozens of major MMO releases by gigantic companies that face day one issues, it's pretty commonplace. People do talk about the launches that go well actually, every time an MMO expansion goes smooth the threads tend to be crowded with posts about how surprised they are with it going smooth because for every one of them there are memories of Diablo 3 error messages, Simcity not working, and the fantastic lag of some WoW expansions. Or more recently still, PUBG dying repeatedly.

How long does it take for Frost Blades to be cool and good? It's pretty sluggish to start with. I've switched to Ice shot for now, since the tree for that isn't very different.

Until you get Multistrike and have frenzy charges, generally speaking Frost Blades is going to feel sluggish. Once you get Raider and all the free frenzy, it'll start behaving like a machinegun.

For many systems that are extremely complex, as I imagine PoE is, bottlenecks are non-obvious and you can't test for every single case before it happens. "Throw more boxes at the problem" is a very expensive idea that often fails to address the actual root cause.

Also gotta remember that PoE is essentially being rewritten and modernized in big chunks with every expansion. poo poo goes wrong sometimes yo.
