As Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain launched, it was apparent there were some launch day issues with the servers. As of today (September 3rd,2015) we're more than 24 hours after Konami's last Tweet on the situation, and server woes are an on and off theme in many of the MGS V threads.
This is an attempt to consolidate all the MGS V sever discussion into one thread. I hope that's okay.
It seems like not everyone is affected as multiple reports of people able to upload their Ground Zeroes saves into The Phantom Pain and the ability to access the Forward Operating Base (FOB) mode have been reported by some. If the severs "under maintenance" though as the error suggests, how is this possible?
Questions
1. Can you get into Online Mode in MGSV The Phantom Pain?
2. Which platform are you on? (PS4, XONE,PC)
3 What error are you getting (if any)?
4. What region are you playing in?
5. If you can connect, does Online Mode make the iDroid menu slow?
For me
1. No. Have never been able to access online mode.
2. XONE
3. Server under maintenance
4. Southern U.S.
5. N/A
Edit: I'm not convinced the Xbox One servers have ever been live till someone mentions otherwise in this thread. Also, Konami has made me feel played like a damn fiddle...
Edit 2: Who's bright idea was it to need to connect online to upload a Ground Zeroes save from a game stored on the same console as The Phantom Pain? I get it if you're on Old Gen -> New Gen, but damn is that annoying if you didn't switch consoles...
Edit 3: Konami just tweeted this:
TWEET
OF COURSE IT'S ON THEIR JAPANESE PAGE! why didn't I look there first? Duh... :/
Edit 4: Game Informer takes Konami to task on their caustic communication practices, like making English speaking people go to a Japanese website to read updates.

Konami says Xbox servers FINALLY operating normally. As of 9:13am on September 4, 2015, I was able to load my Ground Zeroes save.
Irony, PS4 still under maintenance.

Game Informer said:How hard is it for Konamis North American and European PR/social media teams to put out a tweet on the other channels? Limiting this to Japanese social media seems like an oversight that should have been corrected before the mistake happened.
