Same. No clue what I am supposed to do with an apology. I'd much rather they figure out what to do better next time.
Will we ever get an official apology for this disaster of a launch?

What cheek.
They did apologise. Several times. Last night when everything was so unstable, five or six threads, all the major ones where people were reporting the issues, and asking what was going on, had members of the community team, and devs posting in them, saying they where working on it and apologising.
So those where all official FDEV people, apologising.

When you say Community Team, do you really mean FDEV Comedy Team? ;-)
Yesterday I:
- launched launcher, server is updating.
- waited
- launcher said: server status OK
- play
- cannot connect to any server, your launcher is too new (
?)
- exit
- update the client
- play
- attempt to log in, failCount=11
- I quit at 12 failed
- ED connects (hehe, threaten a bit and suddenly things go)
- pick mode, see orange ship rotating
- cannot connect / verify save / other crap
- quit due to IRL
- 1.5 hr break
- launch launcher, server issues detected
- play
- log in, pick mode
- cannot connect
- oh well, day 1 issues, as usual in those cases of big and expected patches. Every mmo game I played over the years had those
- go sleep, will try tomorrow.
Official apology? For what? I can name one occasion in which such launch went smooth, and it was first one in ~10 years of that title. Step down from your cloud. FDEVs are now working hard to resolve the situation, after that we may get some follow up info with generic apology. An apology that doesn't change anything really. Good that you didn't ask for a material apology (like ship skin or whatever). Some devs did such things when launched failed miserably. Yesterday patch launch? Just some issues.

I'd be chuffed if you apologize for that
I do, all the time. Especially in foreign countries.
I mainly apologise for my lack of understanding, but I'm also secretly apologising on behalf of all the other British drunk bafoons.
My launcher is still showing "server issues"
Of course FD should apologise, just after all those experts here apologise for:
- stating the game is doomed
- stating the game is in maintenance mode
- stating no Devs are actually working on the game any more
- stating that there are only a handful of Devs working on the game
- stating that the Devs are useless
- stating … well you get my drift
Somehow I think the apologies from certain areas of the community far outweigh the apology requested by the OP

Really?
Not even a tiny bit of understanding for the difficulties of game development?... especially a huge project like ED?
I never expect to play the game on the day of the release of a new update, especially one that changes so much.
I do not even expect to play the first few days after the update. Stuff happens.
This is a live game. It is constantly updated while we are in it. Never expect that to go flawless.

Actually I have just had a three hour session, system seems quite stable now, not one hiccup. But yes I did have problems getting in this morning (10 hours ago if that makes sense) but I was expecting trouble and wasn't disappointed
If you are upset about yesterday, please state your reason:
a) "Servers were unstable after a big patch. Annoying, but not the end of the world"
b) "I lost the race for the "First discovery/mapping" tag on SD, Maia and Beagle Point, which I am sure I would have won (all three of them) if the servers had been stable all the time"
Personally, I had 2,5 hours of "login-not-possible" and several disconnects but nothing too fancy for a patch day this big.
Great update, thanks FD!

My first experience here of an update. Oh yes ……. left twiddling my thumbs for a few hours, but I could see what was going on. [up] Had trouble launching the first time after the update, but forum help me over my stupidity with that. [up] And they are trying to improve things. [up] Maybe not to all our satisfactions, but they never are! I've only been here a month and think its fantastic, update included! Well done team!!! [up][up][up] And I'm not joking ……….. !
I'm confused, what disaster? I booted up E
Its a very difficult time to be super negative about ED, so they have to make things up.
Im just enjoying the moment cause apparently Im on the favored platform now all of a sudden. Im hoping I get a snowflake bobble head.
