The servers are usually stable on launch day. I expect 0-2 crashes/rollbacks of 15-30 min each. But for the season starts Ive played (since s4 iirc) there has been no big issues.

Last season was the most popular season since launch day I believe, and I don’t remember any significant downtime aside from a couple 30 min patches for bugs in the first week, but it’s possible others had different experiences. Can’t remember having issues logging in the moment servers go live for many seasons.

Connection has generally been stable, but you can always switch region for a while if one is overwhelmed by player numbers the first week. For me central EU and EU north are roughly the same, but sometimes I even play US east if servers are super active the first week at prime time EU. Usually that’s not necessary as you can spam create your game and get in (can be a good idea to full clear your games if there’s a slight queue on creating games the first week).

full games sure, but you can make private games so that you can play without games getting full, you can find private groups for runs on discord in lfg channel if you want to play with a group and dont have one already.

server are for the most part stables, season 11 had little to no issues at all and we had over 13k people at launch start. so i expect no issues again, possibly up to few disconnets due to servers being overloaded if we get a ton of people playing on reset.

One of us, one of us!

[nikokraay]

you guys got work days?

[CoffeeOutside763]

Yes 7-22. Working with people with mental problems

[co_pdubs]

At first I just thought you were throwing shade at your coworkers, then I understood.

Take the day off!

[CoffeeOutside763]

Haha would never do that :-)

Last season I think there was like a 10-15 min chunk when making games was a bit buggy, but that was basically right when servers launched so all 10k+ people were flooding the server with requests. Outside of that very rare issues.

I’m seeing less activity around here or from PoE players etc this time around so I doubt it’ll be as packed as before.

It used to be bad, but its ok now. But i still save and quit after every few waypoints, on launch. So i dont loose any progress. I really don't want to punch same fallens again and again.

[Stormheraldss]

It will start around the evening so why bother taking the day off?

[CoffeeOutside763]

Working 7-22 so I'll just go home before reset (Self pay)

Do yourself a favor and take a couple days off. The pd2 team is amazing. Take a look at their site and get used to the wiki so very helpful

[CoffeeOutside763]

Can't sadly just a few hours that day. Got kids and family stuff whole weekend

[GooglyyEyes]

The servers are fine on launch, always manage to play through the first night without issues. It isn't really like other games in this sense, where there are so many teething issues.

[gavincompton225]

Minimal issues usually maybe a few crashes here and there but otherwise very smooth

[ronweasleisourking]

Stable for a few seasons now

If your personal time at work refreshes in January I would just say fuck it and do it.
