Robert Tyburne 17 Posted December 22, 2018 It wasn't entirely unexpected that there'd be crowding in order to log onto the servers. However, I'd at the very least like to have some sort of queue put in there so I don't have to keep manually checking every few minutes to see if I can get in. Could already be working on that, but that'd be my first bit of feedback for the devs. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Leverantören 0 Posted December 22, 2018 (edited) Early access, should rename this game to Denied Access instead. these server can host 40k players in one area... That are total BS tbh... it cant even handle the login process. Edited December 22, 2018 by Leverantören Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Majic 52 Posted December 22, 2018 This is all part of the authentic experience. Server queue technology didn't exist in the 17th century. Back then, pirates had to manually log in, just as we have to do here. Hence the traditional pirate admonition: "Click, me hearties! CLICK LIKE THE WIND!"

That are total BS tbh... it cant even handle the login process. That number is already showing to be at best a spin.. Each map has 255 (15x15) instances with max 150 lofings per instance. So no, it's not 40K per server it is 150 and not all servers are actually up, just a handful of instances. So far for being a MMO.. It's nowhere close to that unless I can freely and uninterrupted move between instances and or communicate with players in other instances. I'll give it a day or two before I refund and I have a feeling a lot of people will do the same as the hype train clearly was not entirely accurate to put it mildly. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TwistedEndz 9 Posted December 22, 2018 all servers are timing out now , every one of them .. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't know how many early streamers were in and checking things out prior, as it kinda looked like Wildcard was trying to test login capabilities at the same time. Could just be that the servers are just not handling the now additional thousands of players that are all trying to cram onto the servers at the same time. But hey, it's Early Access. We all signed up knowing that there'd be issues. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All my mates are out and about this evening anyways for holiday. Can't wait to sail the seas with the crew on return. Good luck all! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Goldfish The Builder 105 Posted December 22, 2018 Definitely need a Q, with a place in line # etc 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think with everything going on though, it'll be at the least of their concern. Not to say rudely, but getting people in and stability is higher priority. I do however second the motion for a queue when possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NerdyTimes 1 Posted December 22, 2018 (edited) and of course....big streamers are playing it without ANY issue. why is that you ask? its a marketing strategy. BIG streamers get their game in front of hundreds of thousands of people. We of course as smaller streamers, did we get a key? Of course not. And we people who paid 25.00 cant get in? Of course we can't and we have to wait just like everyone else. gotta love marketing Edited December 22, 2018 by NerdyTimes 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wrage 0 Posted December 22, 2018 (edited) Would be nice to hear what they are working on to solve this. But a queue would be wonderful to allow people to clear from starting zones. Most of the streamers are playing private servers though. Not an issue there. Patience is definitely needed but is also definitely being strained the last week.
