Distant Worlds II Event Servers offline after the first jump of Distant Worlds 2. Come on Frontier!

I must admit that I find this pretty funny. It's not everyday that a player group can unknowingly co-ordinate a DDOS attack on a game developer!!! :)
 
Yup! I was in a great instance with about 20 other CMDRs. Now I'm staring at "state=WaitPrimaryServer"

Same here, it was still amazing though. I had my wife record the initial jumping moment with other fellow cmdrs. I had seen a video from the first expedition, witchspace screen lasting around 3 mins but jumping successfully in the end.

I'm not even sure if i actually managed to jump or not.
 
Glad it's not just me.

Excellent stress test, hope they do something with the numbers it gave.

I doubt numbers will be much higher than the 3.3 launch, and they evidently did zilch with that. :p Feel sorry for Brett and the tech guys, this is normally the kind of stuff a director or some such higher-up should come and explain whats what.
 
I'm thinking about asking for a refund for the paintkit that I bought for my ship for this event..... Disappointed... very disappointed... this is newbies mistake... and you're now celebrating 25 years of development....
 
The biggest expedition of this game and we seriously are waiting in voice channels for the servers to come back up.

Let me get this right,

Elites down due to the DW2 doing a mass jump?

It appears that way (and I didn't realise this happened tonight, otherwise would've probably avoided logging in to be honest).

I was on a roll mining Void Opals, one Core rock after the other... if I lose my cargo because the game didn't save correctly, my goody-two-shoes CMDR will turn into an explorer hunter out for revenge.
 
Drunk: What time does your 11:06 leave for San Antonio?
Airline: It leaves at 11:06.
Drunk: Oh, ok.
Airline: We have tourist and first class.
Drunk: Oh, that's ok.
Airline: In first class, you get an extra vegetable.
Drunk: What?
Airline: I said: in first class you get an extra vegetable.
Drunk: Ok, I'll take an onion.
Airline: We're going to have some turbulence.
Drunk: No, I'll stick with the onion.*

So for the DW2 guys: please just all play in solo so you don't break the servers again.
For Frontier: Have you tried waving the dead chicken over the server?

*FYI, my entire family uses that line now when a choice is offered AFTER a decision was made. Nope, I'll stick with the onion. Can't shake it so we're all stuck with it.
