Players who are unable to connect are encouraged to contact
Support. Connectivity issues can be complex and there is a lot going on between the source (player machine) and destination (our servers). It's best to get help with the issue to see what might be going on. We have personally seen issues ranging from server problems to ISPs blocking outbound ports and even problems with downstream ISPs.
If you know of a player who is having issues connecting, encourage them to s
ubmit a ticket, if they haven't all ready.
I came back a few hours later and it worked just fine, haven't had a single problem since. I would really like this game to replace Tanks, WG hasn't been kind to my wallet and I need a new outlet to spend it on.

The game isn't finished and is still in a state of instability, expect things to break sometimes. It's also free to play and not play to win. You are new so you missed open beta launch day. Almost nobody could play for days due to the overwhelming pressure on the servers. The devs need support from the community (ie, us) when we have occasional game-breaking issues. Please keep this in mind when something inevitably catches fire in the future.
Also, the issue seems to have been fixed at least on my end, thanks again Charlie!
The issue is that after so many companies have dropped the ball on Launches (SimCity, Early PS4s, just to name a few), I was hoping we'd have learned about Server Stress and many other issues arising from this.
It's not that I'm mad at them,everyone slips up now and again. Once in, the game handled well and was quite fun. The "Report Bug" button has gone untouched for now, most issues were resolved on my end from the computer. I think the most frustrating part of it was sitting for an hour pouring over the Forums and looking though various books on what was wrong, only to come back 4 hours later and attempt to standard log-in and have it succeed out of nowhere. I posted more out of frustration than trying to make a constructive post, and I appologize.
