Yep! Disconnected from the Login Server before the Character Selection Screen even comes up. Testing these things would really go a long way before they push them to the live servers.
same here, steam log in fails, almost got logged in once just for it to disconnect again.

I managed to log in, then it booted me out when I changed character and can't get back in now. Not sure if it's broken or too many people are trying to login at the same time.

Short update on maintenance this morning: We are investigating an account server crash on PC, and game crashes on Xbox and PlayStation. All platforms are currently locked while we investigate, we'll keep you updated as we know more. Thanks for your patience.
I can't take it anymore! Could everyone just chill out for two seconds before something CRAZY happens again?!

Similar - took a number of tries to get logged in, then I changed character and saw a message saying it was loading a list of maps, then got booted and and told to try logging in later. Login servers are pretty borked, I suspect the hamsters have died.

Tried logging in and got the good old "server timed out" message in about a quarter second. Funny how this stuff usually happens right after adding new content. A little testing, please?

Oh no! Feed the poor hamsters, hopefully a heathier diet too!
I can't even get to the Login Servers, wish they'd reboot them all.

The problem with this idea is that *pushing* updates live can be the *reason* something goes wrong. It's an iterative process, and if some part of said iteration doesn't do what it's supposed to -- or doesn't find the data its written to expect -- the update process, in whole or in part, gets fouled up. And unfortunately, there's no realistic way to test for this. You only find out about the problem after the fact.
You have a completely canned test server to push them on for testing purposes first.

From the forum news feed thread.
Why has my post been merged with kael's post?
Because you're discussing the same issues being updated here.

Here. I'm just barely now trying to start my day of gaming, and I'm getting this.
*Update:
Looks like it finally decided to connect me on the 9th attempt.

Why did you merge a patch notes post with a servers are broken post? That makes no sense.
