Extremely Slow Queue Processing

Worst league launch ever in path of exile history.

I have tried to get the Harvest waypoint for over an hour now, almost two. I've been repeating zones because of the DC issues but the harvest waypoint has broken me. It takes 4 loading screens to get there and the game client can't handle it.

Highgate -> Crystal Veins -> Belly of the Beast 1 - Belly of the Beast 2(Usually Disconnect) -> Harvest(Always Disconnect)


I hope this league is terrible and rates the worst for player retention and satisfaction. GGG need a wake up call. See you next league maybe.

I have zero hope that they will read this. Maybe an AI bot will parse this forum if they are lucky. This is what is happening to me for almost 10 hours now:

1. the realm (and this forum) is periodically down though the interface says the league is live.
2. I click connect it gets disconnected. You need to have an account for this bla bla I do it for 10-15 times.
3. If I am lucky I'm at the end of a queue of 10-20 thousand people in line.
4. When finally I am there, it writes operation timed out. Repeat step 2. Repeat step 3 again.
5. If by miracle or something I'm in, I open my stash and see that everything I gathered in the last few minutes aren't there. However I see tens of people around me in the town. I read green text saying "someone is level 75". "someone is in putrid cloister". alright.
6. I desperately try to go to another place. The game kicks me out. Repeat Step 2. Step 3. Step 4. again.
7. If I somehow move to another area. I fight for 2-3 minutes. Pick up some stuff meh. Then I avoid using portal scroll because it crashes. So I run back to the previous area to take the long run. But I get kicked out again. Every time I play this happens. Whenever I need to change the area, I get kicked out of game. But this game is built in changing areas, so bad, I DO need to move to another area to play. There is a problem in changing areas I guess, this could be the main thing that might be broken imho. This isn't about server overload I guess. I am sure at least 80% of players quit trying this mess. Something more serious is there. You have broken something, or you have been sabotaged inside or whatever but this is something unexplainable. Literally so few players trying to play now.

I copied this text to a .txt file on my desktop because when I try to submit here there is a high probability that it will write an error (yes, even in forum too) and I will lose what I have written so far.

Just one question:
- Why didn't you shut down the site until you resolve this problem? Why did you do this to your fellow players? Don't you accept that there is a problem? You are pushing for nothing. Whole system is about to fall apart if you push this way. If you had taken down this site maybe you would lose x% of your player base yes. However now you are torturing people for what and you will end up losing at least 3x% players now. Just read the latest comments on Steam, Reddit whatever for gods sake. Or hire a personnel to read them for the least.

Shut down everything until you fix it. Or just return to your backups before league launched whatever for God's sake. Right now, whole game is broken, not only league. Can't you see your precious(!) player base is falling apart? Can't you see everything is falling apart? People will never forget this.

Total disappointment. You should have noticed the issue and shut everything down in the first few hours. Too late now. Most probably you can't stop this torture because of your deals with streamers or whatsoever I'm not sure. Don't forget that it wasn't the streamers who made this game popular. They didn't build up your player base. Players loved the game, supported the game, then the streamers appeared. You are constantly pushing for nothing, and it's getting worse with every step you take. Damage is done already.

I'm sorry exile


You are so right and I'm also so sorry for all the exiles.
I would like to quote you again: "Don't forget that it wasn't the streamers who made this game popular. They didn't build up your player base. Players loved the game, supported the game, then the streamers appeared"
Perhaps many of us will become exiles in exile.
Here's my complete league-start experience so far.

Over...and over...and over...and over again. Hell, I'll play standard if I can get in.

WTF ???????

bad bad bad...
Second-class poe gamer
I´m sorry, but this is not playable. I (we) in Germany keep getting the 502 Bad Gateway Error to host www.pathofexile.com. I think that´s what keeps a lot of people from logging in and staying logged in the game. Even if I get in, i get kicked out after no more than 1-2 minutes at a time and so on.

I´m not sure if you can do something about it, but this only happens since yesterday after the launch. I never had these issues before.
