Connecting to Server... after two hours. Anyone else?

[Proxima Sin of Brighthaven]

It's been nearly two hours since downtime started. Normally we see the "Cannot connect to Goblinworks.com" notice during it, but now I'm hung up at good ol' Connecting to Server...

Is this an extra long downtime or are others in game and this is just me?

I am in game.

Yeah my patcher wasn't patching an hour into downtime and I didn't get an error notice to update versions so I didn't think the patch hit until I retried it just now.

And pro-tip: This isn't the game these are the forums. :)

I tried to patch at about 9:45 Pacific, but didn't try to get into the game when the patcher didn't find anything new. I tried the patcher again at maybe 11 and it started patching then.

I had a similar experience but as soon as I quite and restarted patcher, I got in.

I suspect if you launched your patcher before the new version was deployed, then tried to enter the game after the restart with new version, the launcher is starting code that is incompatible with the server (it doesn't re-check when you press the launch button, so isn't aware there is a new version) and it never connects.
