It is such a happy ding for telling me the game is unavailable, almost smug you could say.

It's so happy. I guess that's nice of Valve to design the bearer of bad news to be happy about delivering it?

[HailFire]

Updating, but got about an hour to go on it.

Update is XBOX HUEG (nearly a gigabyte), so hopefully there'll be some other pleasant surprises waiting for us in there.

Ugh.

[Metalax]

I've gotten too used to massive patches for my games over the past few months evidently, as when I looked at the size of the update once it started my first thought was "that's a bit small isn't it?"'.

Ugh.

We have reached the point in time where everything going to shit on the launch of a highly anticipated new thing isn't something to grudge about. They probably tripled their servers and still don't have enough. Not to mention playing now or tomorrow morning isn't a big difference in a F2P game.

I won't be able to get THIS lacking the buying power but, oh my god, its something I would love to have. Plus you get him for your medic in game as well!

>Over 8000 players in the queue for the first mission alone
>50 servers full, 0 Empty/Active

[MrWiggles]

My question is why does everyone think there should be enough servers on the first day? I'm curious if there any understanding how much of a waste that'd be. The over population from release day, isn't typical of expected server stress. To buy the number of servers just so there no worry on a release day is stupid.

The traffic for the game will go back down over the next couple of weeks, without having to waste so much money on extra serves that they'll have to take down after the initial excitement.

[mattie2009]

The amount of servers is increasing slowly. It's up to 65 now.

EDIT: 80 now

 Seems Mann-Up servers are on a different queue, we are all looking at the community servers

 Also seems even the Mann-Up peeps can't play yet

[Putnam]

Make sure to switch your server to Greenland or Thailand or somewhere else similar to download faster.

[HailFire]

Yeah, just try getting on MvM tomorrow. It's up to ~165 servers now, but there's 9-10k people in the queue... for teams of only 6 at a time. 

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

   Only 9-10k? I was showing 15k min on mine. Going to wait for tomorrow and see what it looks like then.

[Neyvn]

I was on a 30second wait time... Now its sitting at 4min...
