Play button seems broken

[Kelreg]

I seem to have run into an odd bug. I can log on and connect to the server just fine, get to my character select page and then the play button does nothing. It doesn't matter if I select a different character or my current one, I remain stuck on my character select page.

I'm having the same issue. I get to the character screen, but when I try to connect, it just says "Searching for Allies" and never gets in.

same here.

Same here. I was just starting a dungeon run with a group, got server kicked, went through the usual loop of handshaking/server not responding for some time. Got to where it would finally let me in to the character select but the Play button is greyed out. Restarted the game (again), got to character select and it would let me click the Play button, but then the server disconnects again and I go back to handshaking/server not responding.

Same, it fails on loading of selected toon.

Also stuck on searching for allies

As of 7:02 PM PST there are reported issues on the discord. I'm also having the same issue so I suspect the servers are down for the moment.

I ran the repair feature from the launcher and was able to finally get in

The repair option on the launcher doesn't seem to do anything. Is there a trick to it?

The Server has crashed and was down for maintenance after provider has detected a Hardware Fault.

It is now back up and online after it has been fixed!

Thank you for your patience.
