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 I don't know what "we" category you're talking about there for smaller streamers. I'm a smaller streamer and did get a key. Wasn't prior to release, but I did get one at launch through keymailer. Getting bigger streamers onboard is a part of the marketing strategy, which looks like it's working. But again, we're talking about an Early Access title here, not a full release candidate.

I hardly see anyone really getting to play much of the game. Would like a link with someone actually streaming this game to get a visual on what it's like. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robert Tyburne 17 Posted December 23, 2018 I did see someone mention that streamers were on private servers. Was that just the person confusing this with the closed branch that was available prerelease, or do we actually have access to server files already? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know in the future they will be up but highly doubt it's accessible this early due to all the congestion with logins. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They mentioned on twitter that they're working to get dedicated server files out asasp, so my guess would be no Wish they were though, just want to try it out 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CptPlateau 0 Posted December 23, 2018 So i just bought this game... with Big shoutouts by the creators that there will be 40k Players on a Server? and then i see... there are "possible" up to 255 Sersv, not one... Fom these 255 Servers are 15 running in EU PvE Master. And all of them are NOT working. If this game is really from the same Dudes as Ark is... didn't they learn ANYTHING from Ark?... How dumb can people be to NOT learn something... Right now the 15 Servers say 0/150 Players, and still not possible to connect. I have 2 Hours to play the game before i cannot refund it on Steam. I'll bet its impossible to play just 5 Minutes while the Gamer runs 2 Hours just trying to connect to a server. What are they talking about in their offices? "Hey lets talk about big numbers in the game and inverst 293486743764 US$ in Marketing".... but then use just a couple of bucks for a hand full of obvious virtualized minimal machines for 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. Nope, you are going to have to mash A like everyone else and not sleep for two days Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Only problem now is the "connection timeout" from joining. Slowly getting there, should be a matter of time. Also, are you running controller for this game? I don't know anyone mashing "A" to join???

Each server is a cluster of smaller servers. Each grid on the map looks like it's being served by a server. Think it changes a bit with the Freeports since players start there. A player limit is also there for each grid since the smaller server would tank if it was suddenly crammed with players. Probable that this is a part of the problem we're seeing right now, despite the extra power in the Freeports. Not saying it's entirely that, but probably a part of it. As for the refund limit, just stay off of Atlas for awhile. Which I'd think the folks that are crying foul and that Wildcard hasn't learned anything from Ark's development would at least be able to take that information and go play something else. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CptPlateau 0 Posted December 23, 2018 Sure absolutely right xD Seems to be normal today to make marketing for a game praying "we are god... we can handle 40k+ gamers"... then launch lately and on top too dumb to handle 400 gamers instead of 4k or 40k and the solution? yeah, please pay for the game, and then just wait after buying it a couple of days before you can play it.... Wrong World? Or just as intelligent as Trump to vindicate such startups of... how can you describe this release... a bunch of admins working like apes with advanced down syndrom?

Link491 3 Posted December 23, 2018 Anyone else seeing v2.0 on the game, but showing servers "servers 2.1" ?? Is this a typo? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They tweeted about it, 2.1 is just a serverside patch, nothing on our end. So wether you see 2.0 or 2.1 on your game, it doesn't matter 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lebbamen 2 Posted December 23, 2018 Hi! it is not necessary to update to 2.1 because it is an internal update. With 2.0 it will work when the servers really allow us to play. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
