It feels like the vast majority of the expansion launches for Path of Exile are the smoothest launch ever for the game, which makes sense as Grinding Gear Games gets more and more practice doing this. So Betrayal goes down as another expansion launch that was smoother than any before it, with a few server issues in the first few hours according to the official post-mortem. Those accustomed to new expansions or game launches where the “issues” are “the servers don’t actually work for several days” will be suitably impressed.
The developers also notes a peak concurrency of 188,970, which is 28% higher than the studio’s previous best-ever launch. In summary, people could log in, play, and enjoy the expansion pretty much without issues right from the word go. Grinding Gear Games seems to be really good at this, folks; you could argue they deserve an award or something. Perhaps they’ll be satisfied at the admitted best-ever launch.Source: Official Site
