This is a total outrage!

The new update WAS supposed to give end-game players more stuff to do, but it ended up being a total disappointment and outrage.

Compound 42 released.

More like, Compound 42 released tomorrow. Everyone suddenly rushes in to try it and the download queues suddenly grow massive, forcing players to wait hours to get it. But then before they get to try it, OOO steps in.

They instantly cycle out the new mission to make it appear tomorrow. You might think that waiting was bad, right? Well now you have to wait until tomorrow, because they changed it for Legion of Almire. Yep, no new content until tomorrow.

This is unfair to everyone who has waited for this, including me, that we can't play it.

Who else thinks this is unfair?

At most 24h.....OH SO UNFAIR.

If the mission was available right after the patch, then some lucky people would have been able to do both danger missions on the same day. That could have been unfair to half the world thanks to something called timezones. Doing it tomorrow, after the mission cycles for everyone is the right thing to do and actually sounds like the most natural solution besides all that random crap I said.

But maybe you're right, they could have delayed the patch and slip it right before daily reboot to avoid dumb people complaining for meaningless things and making us waste 2 mins writing a reply.

The danger mission switches in 6 hours. I think you'll survive.

The new danger mission was available right after the patch and a lot did get the chance to do both danger missions in the same day.

It's not their fault that you

It's not their fault that you couldn't play it, everyone logged on at the same time, causing a Diablo 3 server overload effect. That's why the downloads took forever, they had to manage, what, everyone logging on at once.
I logged on yesterday when it was released shortly after work, which was about three hours after release, when everyone who attempted to get it working either got it working or quit from frustration. Download only took me five minutes. If anything, the devs should improve their servers to handle a ridiculous amount of players at once.

Let's also petition OOO to

Let's also petition OOO to not open missions or arcades until nobody is suffering from internet or power outage or lag or computer problems. That way, those people can take advantage of the game. And that way, nobody will be too far ahead of them.

Also freeze all auction house items at very short until everyone can log on at the same time, giving them all a fair chance at the item.

+1 Only part of players got

Only part of players got acces to new mission (which shouldnt be there, since it was still LoA turn) and got double daily prestige from danger mission.
Becaus of faulty servers many people could not get into game and finally when they logged on it was already LoA turn (again? wait, in the day of update IT WAS LoA so why next day is LoA also??). OOO should not force change danger mission from LoA to C42, if it would stay as it was, everyone would get chance to go to mission after release.
Knowing about update servers problems, they could also release update in one time, and activate it in other, so in meantime people could update game and be ready to play (we already had updates that were downloaded in one time and activated in other, even without server reboot).

There were so many possibilities to solve this situation and treat all players equally, but no, OOO always want to give something to one part of players and left the other one with nothing.

Soon we get another danger mission, and another disappointment?

Ah, come on.

I can wait a few hours, or a day, to try a mission that isn't going anywhere. Can't you?

"Soon we get another danger mission, and another disappointment?"

Sorry to say, but this happens pretty much every update.

I still haven't even downloaded the patch because I want to wait for something more that will keep me in the game for more than a week.
