IX HOUSERXI 1 Posted October 6, 2019 I'm going to be incredibly optimistic and claim the 10 to 20 minute time slot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NeedSmokes 1 Posted October 6, 2019 I'm going for a terrible release and it not being downloadable until Oct 11th 2pm BST Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NoobieDooz 50 Posted October 6, 2019 I honestly don't know if I could follow your very detailed instructions But I'm gonna give it a try... ! My very honest hope is that they actually do it on time, cause even on time, it will be very late for us here in EU, (including the download of the update etc). But, wisened by experience, I am gonna bet on a max of 1 hour late release. So, 1 h after relase. I feel like a fool now but hey let me be proven wrong, I hope for it so much!! I want it to be on time. Otherwise, I have no chance in hell of getting an island, cause the day after, I am back at work again, so... If they are several hours late, that will probably be the end of my journey with Atlas. I sincerely hope not, since I've been here since day 1. But, I am probably not gonna stick around, if they botch this release.. I didn't stick through 2 wipes to be stuck in a disgrace, a bad lawless situation, that's beneath me at this point Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sulfurblade 194 Posted October 6, 2019 Well since there is not going to be 10 billion people flooding the servers and trying to play at launch because we all are very aware of Atlas and its reputation bye now.... Then I see no reason why the Xbox release won't go smoothly, in fact I agree with Realist it will go right on time because the only thing that matters here is they get a few more dollars from the Console players before they cut and run.....

Mastercraftcblub69 0 Posted October 7, 2019 When cros platform drops for Xbox players will they just be dumped into servers that pc players are already built up on? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, but that is if you choose to go to na pvp. Then that would be on you. If you like pvp I would definitely go to eu instead of na Edited October 7, 2019 by Realist Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And was online purely so there would be somewhere for everyone to play till the day of release?!? Am I wrong about that assumption... Seems silly there not going to wipe NA PvP if they wiped the rest?!? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seems silly there not going to wipe NA PvP if they wiped the rest?!? Yeah that’s what I was saying. But yeah sure enough they won’t be wiping. Jay gave some reasons for why but regardless of the reasons, na pvp will be dead once the console players figure out what’s going on edit: the reason for one server being up is because they are testing crossplay. The devs are on consoles playing with the pc guys. Not an efficient test if you ask me but that is how they are doing it.

For purposes of this pool, 10 mins late from the announced time counts as late, anything less falls in the grace period. Once the launch is late. Pool slots will be in 10 minute increments for the first hour ie 10-20 minutes late, 20 to 30, etc etc. 3. Once the launch is one hour late, pool slots will broaden into one hour increments for the remainder of the 8th. So 2 hours late is a slot, all the way up to 24 hours late. 4. Beyond 24 hours. pool slots are in one day increments, so Thursday the 10th would be a slot. 5. For purposes of determining successful launch, 2 of the 3 official game worlds that are currently down must be up for a minimum of 1 hour. 6.

Jack Shandy 242 Posted October 7, 2019 (edited) Someone has already said on time, so i guess i'm out. Reason: As a PC player we are already getting all the updates as they drop, I can play NA PVP or single player, so all they need to do is switch on the servers with the same version when the time comes. A delay could be had if they do an update at the same time, but that can be avoided by doing any update a few hours prior to that to have time to be fully ready for midday server switch on. Hoping to be off the freeport islands before the Xbox people finish downloading, I remember the lag of day one. Edited October 7, 2019 by Jack Shandy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
