the problem with the thought that having issues during stress test will be useful so problems do not occur during launch is august, is flawed logic. Blizzard has a proven track record of having many issues during beta and getting ample feedback and data, and still failing to fixes the issues before launch

the developers donât monitor the forums. customer support isnât getting stressed out from any of our comments
Exactly, although the Blizz team is more likely looking at raw data than forum comments I figure the best way to be helpful is provide information on what youâre seeing at what time to give them a better idea of whatâs happening client side.

This is super correct, and honestly, after last week and this, Iâm super not-comfortable with how all of this is going to go.

Yeah, Iâm pretty familiar with how this works. Iâm mostly screwing around now because Iâm, again, pretty bored. Thereâs a reason I am trying to play Classic instead of current.

Everyone above - above of negative nancies. Welcome to Classic.
What failure? Breaking the server under instrumented conditions is the point of a stress test.

blizzard needs to focus the stress on one server in order to run proper tests. if they released 55 servers or so like they will do when the game goes live, they wonât be able to gather the appropriate data to make sure login issues donât happen when it actually goes live. when wow classic is live there isnât going to be only one or two serversâŚthere will be a lot. this is how troubleshooting worksâŚ

Iâve been stuck on the same loading screen for nine minutes now, do I keep letting it sit or just close it out and try againâŚ
The real warsong gulch is logging in to game server
I was logged into my level 5 for a bit, got DCed trying to take a boat, back into the server now but my level 5 is now missing from character select and I canât make a new one ![:frowning:](https://d38bqls1q93fod.cloudfront.net/en/wow/images/emoji/twitter/frowning.png?v=6" ":frowning:")
Login to the stress test realm works now, but the background is black.
Cannot create any character.
Except they gave us this EXTRA stress test because no one could connect to the LAST stress test lol, Iâm not salty itâs just funny.
they going to give us an extra extra stress test after this one?

Let the login screen do its thing. If it boots you out, try logging in again. If they really donât want us doing this, theyâll find a way to stop us. So just go along with the charade for now.
get some extra hamsters for the server

But dude, theyâre not getting the âappropriate dataâ now! Their whole published reason for doing this was to see how the servers would handle the load of huge amounts of players in the starting zones. Thatâs not happening, because nobody can get in the game.
Stop making up excuses. They failed at it last week, and they clearly learned nothing going into this test.

How is this stress test even worse than the first one? Itâs earlier in the day, so there should be fewer people able to log in due to work / school, and ideally improvements should have been made.
I get that itâs a stress test so the experience is supposed to be bad, but nothing is even being tested right now. You can test a login server internally. They donât need actual players to sit in front of their computers for hours spamming login. That doesnât provide any useful data.
5:41 pm Est still stuck in character creation. Havenât got DCâd from it yet though.
