[worn mural]

Hi sony entertainment

I hated what you did with Spiderman for all those years

[queen ember]

understandable

its a sin that I must pay for

[hollow sparrow]

Marriage contract?

[queen ember]

no

[gleaming jacinth]

maybeeeee

[queen ember]

I'm married to stealthi

[gleaming jacinth]

i wont play before saturday tho

[queen ember]

tisu is my mistress who inherits all my wealth when I die

[gleaming jacinth]

cause im gonna go from my exam in 3 hours straight back into studying for my next exam

[worn mural]

good luck :>

[gleaming jacinth]

[queen ember]

I'm channeling all my good juju into your life

brb have to blue parse nymue

[hollow sparrow]

Just call me, I’ll help

And good luck

[gleaming jacinth]

not too bad this one, bit of computer systems basics

[hollow sparrow]

Betrayer

[gleaming jacinth]

lil bit of binary converting, caches, multithreading and that kind of stuff

very baaaaasic

[hollow sparrow]

[marble turret]

Synchronised Strike

Believe requires dual wield weapons or something

Bcuz acid flask is kinda not good afaik

Its one of the if not the worst rogue skill

[naive crag]

yea it is quite lackluster

i liked the visuals but the nuumbers are not there mason

maybe with the new gearing or they do some things you can scale it a bit better

[fierce hemlock]

yeah i tried out acid flask poison stacks for a bit

it was ok

but u never hardcasted acid flask just had the shift node that dropped it for u

[proven ridge]

everyone just playing rogue then?

[naive crag]

rogue server rogue brain

[proven ridge]

i mean i was a rogue in EA too

but i feel everyone just gonna be rogue 😭

[naive crag]

there was someone that will play void knight

but i forgot who

[proven ridge]

i think im going primalist scyther

its like a rogue kinda?

but prob has more options to survive endgame

[hollow sparrow]

it was semi sarcasm

[fierce hemlock]

im playing acolyte

harvest lich looks cool with chaos bolts

[hollow sparrow]

while it was really bad they added some more support to it, maybe falconer with bird dropping those flasks is gonna be the way

[proven ridge]

i might try spellblade at some point

but not sure how bad they are

[fierce hemlock]

i dont think you can run acid flask as your main damage skill

but it gets the efficacious toxins or w/e so it'd be a really good supplemental skill if you can automate it for poison / bleed builds

falconer bird automation probably better than shift automating it so it just comes down to making a poison birb build

[sick stratus]

https://tenor.com/view/guy-unfunny-dent-head-gif-20625569

[naive crag]

there is a study made by me that rogue players are superior

[proven ridge]

Only the non NA based rogues*

[sick stratus]

?? imexile bad now

[sick stratus]

but tbf rogue always been my fav class going back to when I was a kid. that and warrior (big bonk)

[proven ridge]

I just always liked the idea of not going brute force but like using more tactical approaches in games

Like in card games i was always a fan of decks that arent just go face but have a combo or gameplan going on

I honestly wished frost mage was a bit more like that ngl

I dont rlly think it has a personality rn or i dont see it

Its the only spec idk what it is about

[lavish halo]

henlo

any flicker strike enjoyers ? gonna try build one in LE with spellblade :3

[proven ridge]

not sure about spellblade having something flicker strike but cascade rogue is basically that in a way

[proven ridge]

Anyone found cool support co-op builds that arent paladin or runes?

Well the website didnt survive

[gleaming jacinth]

u didnt answer my call…

[wooden turtle]

still pondering if i should buy man

hmm

got a lil scarred by d4

[proven ridge]

At this point legit just wait 1 more day

And see what people say

[lavish halo]

tuffy

the skill "surge" can act in a way of a flicker strike, its the closest as ive seen ,

[woeful bolt]

that weavers will mechanic is such a fun piece of gamba

[sick stratus]

I mean it was obv d4 was gonna turn out the way it did if you played the beta

this game good from what I hear

servers might go boom tho

[wooden turtle]

i mean

i liked d4 gameplay endgame was just shit

didnt look far enough at interviews to see that there wasnt any

[sick stratus]

d4s problem is the core of the game

all the systems suck and need to be overhauled

[woeful bolt]

this feels like it has a bit more build complexity than d4 thankfully

[sick stratus]

it isn't a good arpg but it's a solid single player story/adventure

I am going to give lE another go

[woeful bolt]

i read a post from one of their devs explaining all the precautions they've taken

they're not clueless for sure but

ya it still has a pretty good chance of going boom

if not only because often the game servers aren't even the problem but authentication servers

[gleaming jacinth]

clearly the 30 bucks is an issue for u

so dont buy

[full zephyr]

im playing spin to win

[sick stratus]

bro

this is rediculously callous and insensitive

[woeful bolt]

i levelled a VK to 40ish

kinda rough early but it was gettin going

[gleaming jacinth]

? its a statement

if ure wondering if the game is worth buying then the decision to throw 30 bucks at it or not is clearly an important one

so its an issue

[sick stratus]

brother inflation and COL is through the roof people are struggling like hell. Some people might only have enough to purchase one or two games a year and don't want that $30 to be a waste

[woeful bolt]

https://www.reddit.com/r/LastEpoch/comments/1av0oit/can_we_expect_to_get_in_and_play_on_launch_or/kr96h2t/ found et

[sick stratus]

I'm super price sensitive about buying any game. I almost never buy games full price

[toxic apex]

forums down?

[gleaming jacinth]

and thats ok, i was never judgemental in any form with my statement

[woeful bolt]

yerp

[gleaming jacinth]

its just a fact that if the 30 bucks are an issue, u shouldnt buy the game

easy as that

[woeful bolt]

even the webarchive link is getting nuked

[naive crag]

everything is down until they put things back up since yesterday kinda

likely updating infra and other things

[woeful bolt]

nah the forum is just hugged

it's not like poe where they're linked

[fossil bison]

Mirage is good, both bleed and lightning crit

[hollow sparrow]

Where? What?

[sick stratus]

is everyone playing trade or SSF

[fierce hemlock]

ssf for sure

[distant folio]

Ssf guild all the way

[fierce hemlock]

the ssf benefits look a hundred times more busted than trade

[distant folio]

Yup

[woeful bolt]

did you see the preview video of lizard dropping a billion idols from prophecy

[toxic apex]

ssf

[woeful bolt]

about 4 screens of that

[subtle jolt]

Rahhh

Filter will be your friend

[brisk basalt]

what do u get for being solo self found

[woeful bolt]

more drops and more targeting of drops, afaik

[marble turret]

Its not true ssf fyi if you are playing with friends you can still play with them

And gift items/resonance trade

[sick stratus]

ok ur all my friends

[woeful bolt]

i feel like i read somewhere you can trade regardless if you dropped it while partied, resonance is for things you dropped while not partied, but i could be wrong

and resonance is pretty rare

[marble turret]

Yes you can gift any items you get while plsying together

Resonances are only used if you wanna give something that you got without your friend around

[woeful bolt]

great system tbh

[wooden turtle]

it is juicing time ladies and gentlemen

15 minutes

how long the servers going to be fucked for? any predictions?

[barren pollen]

0 minutes

as per this post https://www.reddit.com/r/LastEpoch/comments/1av0oit/comment/kr96h2t/

[wooden turtle]

would be crazy

[woeful bolt]

[wooden turtle]

Every massive publisher can never get their launches to go correct either though

So if they do pull it off it would be pretty sick

[sick stratus]

leveling falconer

not sure what I'm playing tho

[woeful bolt]

full birb

[wooden turtle]

im going spellblade

[naive crag]

yea servers cant get fucked if they are not up

they cracked the code

[sick stratus]

I kinda wanna see if I can get that unique

[wooden turtle]

no clue whats good but it looks sick so fuck it we ball

[sick stratus]

and punch shit

[naive crag]

FALCON PAUNCH

[woeful bolt]

ive heard spellblade is pretty mid but

the game is not hard so

im sure it'll be fine

altho maybe it's hard now with the corruption rebalancing

[wooden turtle]

we will see

[woeful bolt]

8gb patch apparently, not bad at all

[naive crag]

where do you see that

[woeful bolt]

official discord

[wooden turtle]

oh patch

[woeful bolt]

yerp

[wooden turtle]

everyone just left my house

100MB/s download

[woeful bolt]

thank god elon hooked up the starlink

i was on 30mb/s before

[wooden turtle]

rare elon w

[woeful bolt]

forreal

[wooden turtle]

wonder why they didnt drop the patch download during downtime though

[woeful bolt]

supposedly cant because the game is already released on the steam store even in early access

not sure how that works

or wait

i think it was because of the true offline mode actually

guess if that existed people would be able to start playing as soon as they patched

[wooden turtle]

ah fair

[woeful bolt]

[wooden turtle]

e e ur

[sick stratus]

Pullin' out the coupe at the lot

[wooden turtle]

kap

[woeful bolt]

might be a restart steam angle

[woeful bolt]

oh it do be dropping though

[young tusk]

1.0 dropping

[woeful bolt]

xddd

people cant create characters apparently

and that's with probably a very small portion of the playerbase in already

[young tusk]

I just lost a twitch giveaway for a key, RIP

[wooden turtle]

ok we downloading now

zoom

[woeful bolt]

so slow

this estimated time is troll

[wooden turtle]

20 seconds left

lesgoo

[worn mural]

idk, I'm stuck for choice here..

[woeful bolt]

kill game and retry apparently

is the fi

x

[worn mural]

honestly I'm probably just gonna go offline for the first cycle

I wasn't gonna engage in trade anyway

[woeful bolt]

probably wise

[worn mural]

so whoever said you couldn't make offline cycle characters was apparently working on false info

[naive crag]

the thing they said is you wont be able to use them on the league

[fierce hemlock]

i made my character online just fine

just had to restart the game once

[fierce hemlock]

theres nothing league specific yet i dont think so u can probably play offline just fine

just wont get to show up on leaderboards

[naive crag]

or play with people

but we dont care that much tbh

[fierce hemlock]

yeah i got like 2 friends that play arpgs

but like

the only arpg that i ever really did multiplayer was d3

[wooden turtle]

you guys were talking about solo self found earlier

thats something chosen later right?

not the char creation options

[night field]

does it matter which ssf i take if i still want to play with a friend?

cus theres acount ssf and character ssf

[fierce hemlock]

yeah i think u choose after u beat campaign

[fierce hemlock]

i dont think its from the creation screen

also i made a character but its perma loading lol

[gleaming jacinth]

omg bladedancer or falconer

[woeful bolt]

i got online play unavailable

[wooden turtle]

i created character and got opening cinematic but

loading screen now

[fierce hemlock]

yeah i had that

had to relaunch againl ol

[wooden turtle]

oh ye unavailable now

same alert

[gleaming jacinth]

just keep trying

itll work eventually hehe

[woeful bolt]

on fire for sure

[wooden turtle]

restart game aswell? or just connect constantly

[woeful bolt]

[barren pollen]

first unique from the first boss?

[wooden turtle]

KEK

[naive crag]

[wooden turtle]

i dont even get a queue

idk just stuck here

and then get the online unavailable alert

[woeful bolt]

same

[wooden turtle]

ima eat dinner and try again in an hour

[sick stratus]

lmao

yeah im stuckge

[arctic python]

Me at the

[woeful bolt]

well

28th time was the charm

baited

kek

[fierce hemlock]

its ok even if u get in

[fierce hemlock]

u can't get into town

[sick stratus]

[fierce hemlock]

stuck on this lol

[sick stratus]

oh boy

[barren pollen]

same

[toxic apex]

pretty expected ig

[barren pollen]

Yep for sure

Apparently the problems come from outside of the game and servers'

bottlenecks on login stuff

gg steam

[toxic apex]

yeah i read that, though i interpreted it as them saying steam is usually pretty good at that

[arctic python]

I don’t think steam is proactive regarding auth server allocation

[fierce hemlock]

oh finally got into the town

[arctic python]

They’re reactive for sure. Why dedicate resources if you’re not even 100% sure you need them

[woeful bolt]

they also get none of the blame so 🤣

why bother

[arctic python]

Probably a phone call or two to workout more server allocation soon but yeah it shouldn’t take a week

[barren pollen]

they're super active on discord updating about everything

[hollow sparrow]

So how are servers doing?

[barren pollen]

very good to see

[barren pollen]

not great atm

as expected

[arctic python]

Yeah love to see it

[hollow sparrow]

Guess I chose ice rink over launch wisely

[sick stratus]

but ofc streamers are in

[toxic apex]

ye they must have an assload of players

[fierce hemlock]

i mean like

[woeful bolt]

150k

[fierce hemlock]

should have been expected ngl

[arctic python]

How do they expect it man

[toxic apex]

ngl, people swarm to these arpgs

[fierce hemlock]

it was beyond hyped and releasing at the perfect time

[toxic apex]

I remember wolcen exploded

[arctic python]

Based on early access sale volume?
Based on peak player base?
Based on peak in the last week?

[woeful bolt]

already 3x the peak though

[arctic python]

Right so how do they account for that

[distant folio]

We go again. Though I'm leaving in like 30 minutes so not for very long

[fierce hemlock]

u wont even load into town if u only got 30 min at this point

[distant folio]

Oh I know

[arctic python]

I’m just saying it’s impossible to be proactive regarding server issues on game releases. Blizzard has had 30 years of practice and wow still goes down on expac launch

[toxic apex]

from what ive seen im pretty impressed that 1.0 cleaned up the game visually

[sick stratus]

guess I'll just fill out this job applications while waiting

[woeful bolt]

im at town boss

[fossil bison]

Raid tonight so no LE for now

Btu sounds like no LE either way so

[fierce hemlock]

second boss is getting out of town

[woeful bolt]

[fierce hemlock]

its given up on me just spams failed ot matchmake if i try to leave lo

lol

[woeful bolt]

yep

[naive crag]

failed to matchmake pog

[toxic apex]

me_irl

[distant folio]

Haven't even gotten in the game once

[woeful bolt]

people are stuck regardless of what area it is

actual hate the people who leave troll comments even if they're trolling

[minor bay]

looks like im not missing out on much

[sick stratus]

[fierce hemlock]

might just be a go again tonight angle

[naive crag]

yea stuck on online play unavailable

after i got kicked

time to play some osu! meanwhiñe

[wooden turtle]

least crashy arpg launch

[hollow sparrow]

if server were up you could play with me

so we migth say you are missing on playing with me?

[woeful bolt]

im gonna be world first lvl 100 burning forest

ramping

[wooden turtle]

ur in?

crazy

[woeful bolt]

yeah just cant load the town

but i can load the previous zone

so im giga xp farming

[naive crag]

im stuck on trying to enter

[wooden turtle]

i cant even connect

kek

[naive crag]

yea

[woeful bolt]

so weird i can enter burning forest

[naive crag]

online play unavailable

[woeful bolt]

absolutely fine

but town is fucked

[proven ridge]

is it server wise?

or just

the entire online

i just woke up im goin in

[barren pollen]

Too bad online and offline modes don't share chars

could just play offline mode the entire night today and then switch to online tomorrow

but that's a no go

true offline mode works if you just wanna play the game for funzies

[proven ridge]

pretty sure they do

like

theres 2 types of offlines

as far as im aware

one is true offline and the other one is a switch offline

[barren pollen]

Yes, there's offline and true offline mode

[woeful bolt]

true offline and offline share chars

but not with online

[barren pollen]

they share chars

but online does not

yeh

[woeful bolt]

otherwise u could text edit offline n play online

[fierce hemlock]

yeah if u make offline u can never play online with that char

bc of the hacking and modding and shit

[proven ridge]

well i guess u can start working on your ssf lmao

[woeful bolt]

holy giga drop

[proven ridge]

a whole 1 intelligence

damn

[fierce hemlock]

once u get into town u can go to merchant and get full set of gear prob lol

[barren pollen]

stats are not inflated in this game

a single attribute is big

[proven ridge]

i know lol

just memeing

[barren pollen]

end game you have like 160 int with bis gear

yeh yeh

[fierce hemlock]

t5 is like what, 14 int?

[silver monolith]

https://tenor.com/view/let-me-in-eric-andre-wanna-come-in-gif-13730108

[proven ridge]

i like to think its like dnd but with one more 0

[wooden turtle]

please allow me to enter 😦

[barren pollen]

dnd0

[proven ridge]

no geforce game ready drivers for last epoch but one for skull and bones

[fierce hemlock]

well ofc

skull and boners is AAAA

the first AAAA game

[proven ridge]

ah here they come

i love them

[fierce hemlock]

"dont buy this anytime soon"

[toxic apex]

i hate people

[fierce hemlock]

when does this person think the servers are gonna come back up, next month? lol

[woeful bolt]

[fierce hemlock]

"shits fucked gl hf gg"

[barren pollen]

can't fail a launch

say that to every single company in the world ever

biggest gaming company in the world, Blizzard, completely butchered Diablo 4 release

and all wow expansions are fucking rough

[fierce hemlock]

well

last like 3 wow expansions haven't been too bad

[silver monolith]

idk poe struggles a bit with every league launch

[wooden turtle]

the airship incident

[barren pollen]

I think you might be misremembering

[woeful bolt]

pretty sure ive seen the same name in the discord lol

[silver monolith]

so to be expected

[proven ridge]

chad gendersmith is getting ignored in dms ;_;

[barren pollen]

Because it was pretty bad

Literally people couldn't get to the Dragon isles at all because the airship wouldn't load people in

lol

[woeful bolt]

yeah

guy is a loon

[barren pollen]

and Shadowlands just killed all servers entirely

[woeful bolt]

'here's a solution'
'no '

[wooden turtle]

i dont understand this "in 2024" shit kek

what does it have to do with anything

[woeful bolt]

servers are uncrashable in 2024

[fierce hemlock]

dunno shadowlands on my server wasn't terrible

trying to remember if i started on launch or like 8 hours late tho i was prob working

[proven ridge]

why are they an indie company and dont have more money, are they stupid?

[woeful bolt]

simply download more money

[silver monolith]

idk i u dont want to suffer just start next day its not like u racing with anyone

[proven ridge]

my taxes keep the servers alive and they cant even handle launch? does biden know about this?

[fierce hemlock]

d4 s3 launch was smooth as butter tho

(i wasn't there)

(i assume nobody else was too)

[woeful bolt]

to 20k players probably

[proven ridge]

yea all the 6 players logging in felt good

i was there, the city was legit empty on launch day

played about

10 min

i was like, wtf am i doing

uninstall

[silver monolith]

me and my char looking at each other in the selection menu

[barren pollen]

literally all servers were down for like 2 hours straight

[naive crag]

dont worry kill the justice league had a great launch(4k people played it)

[proven ridge]

[barren pollen]

I have faith in being able to play in like an hour or two

Personally not in a rush

I'm big chilling

[wooden turtle]

[barren pollen]

No

[naive crag]

depends

i have 3 friends playing now

[woeful bolt]

im ingame but still cant load town

[fierce hemlock]

u cant zone in anywhere

[barren pollen]

I used to have super bad fomo, but nowadays I don't really care. I'm not in a rush, I'm not racing to win anything here. I'm just trying to have a good time :')

[fierce hemlock]

so its "playing"

[night field]

ahh too bad, i finished my shift was wondering if i can play hehe

[woeful bolt]

[proven ridge]

:o i can make my character!

[proven ridge]

if you get ingame u get this instead

[proven ridge]

[proven ridge]

nah ill reserve names

are you fucking kidding me

WHO WAS IT

[silver monolith]

[hollow sparrow]

Fun as a function of time since launch is like exponent(-time) you know

[arctic python]

Justalittleguy

[proven ridge]

which one of u is this

[naive crag]

could do that but would not look good

[woeful bolt]

9 minutes ago: a services container app down again. Working to get it back up. Maybe I shouldn't relay when stability is coming back so quickly so the service isn't hit so hard immediately :laughing:

[minor bay]

[woeful bolt]

kek

[proven ridge]

maybe the real epoch was the friends we made along the way

[naive crag]

hehe

[woeful bolt]

gives me time to eat dinner

[hollow sparrow]

Yeah, epic friendship

[woeful bolt]

real question is

do you guys say epic or epock

[hollow sparrow]

I say el-ee

[proven ridge]

ipoc

[subtle jolt]

The amount of people trying to steal referall codes

cheesinbutgif

[proven ridge]

Same problem as with every game , it does not work. I searched online for some reviews and everyone was praising it. I figured, why not give these guys a chance and purchase it. What a mistake, game is unplayable at this point, cant move, cant proceed to next quest or next level, server has huge hag between inputs and character movement. Maybe it will get better in a couple of months, maybe not, I really dont care, its not an exceptional game as people make it out to be, its just your typical ARPG, weve seen it hundreds of times before, but I have high expectations on this one because everyone was praising it for how great it is. Great at not moving my char and looking at the loading screen for 10 minutes before loading a map , no thanks. I have better stuff to do with my time and money. Is it better than D4 and the rest of lackluster ARPGs out there? Maybe. Heres an ideea, next time you launch a game and charge people x amount for that game , make sure the game is working both online and offline, especially online since you have ladders and seasons, otherwise, whats the point? If we keep encouraging them, they will keep making these bad games with bad servers and we the consumer the players, have to be patient and deal with it, when they couldve made a stress beta test, before launch and fix their servers, but noooo, get the money first, fix the problem later . FU and your game , ty , bb , refunded

[naive crag]

USE MY CODE WHILE WE WAIT

[subtle jolt]

NO MEMEMEME

MY CODE

I WILL INV

[proven ridge]

[subtle jolt]

Not really sure why they have their login server and screen to screen servers the same.

[proven ridge]

:D

[fierce hemlock]

epoch is just another way to say time period

[subtle jolt]

Ah hell nah

at least chat works

[naive crag]

well chat servers are hard to overload

[proven ridge]

im 5 min in and still havent found an epoch

dead game

[hollow sparrow]

Nice joke

If you need to broadcast to a lot of people…

That’s a lot of processing 🙂

[proven ridge]

kriparian playing necromancer

its so over

[naive crag]

he posted his build

kinda cool

[arctic python]

It’s the last one bro it’s pretty rare

[proven ridge]

yo acid flask broken for leveling

it costs only 10 mana rn and the mana regen is super fast

so u can kinda melt packs

[barren pollen]

yup it's very good

I think puncture becomes better if you find a good bow

[sick stratus]

Are servers still fucky wucky?

[silver monolith]

[sick stratus]

Refund time

[silver monolith]

[woeful bolt]

it was an offline mode angle

[sick stratus]

sadly this is how you kill hype for a game

[wooden turtle]

ye lil bit iffy

people in us coming back from work within hours aswell

so going to be even rougher for them

[sick stratus]

they're getting review bombed on steam hard

[wooden turtle]

any game gets that on release now

doesnt matter

[sick stratus]

ye

I'd like to play tbh

[woeful bolt]

got my movement skill in the level 2 zone

huge gains

4 minutes ago Keeping everyone in the loop - we're still working on this - but how we're attempting resolution is technical. We're attempting to redeploy the container app environment entirely while portions of our team are digging deeper into log

doesn't seem like that means soon

was expecting like 2h instability tbh too optimistic

[subtle jolt]

RIp last epoch

getting review bombed

[sick stratus]

the LE discord is a disaster rn

LOL

[queen ember]

idk what people were expecting

kinda silly tbh

games been in early access for 3 years, tons of hype surrounding it

[sick stratus]

a working game?

[proven ridge]

Think servers are working rn?

[queen ember]

I mean it does work

[proven ridge]

Checking a streamer and shes loging in

Oe maybe not

[toxic apex]

they could be offline mode

[proven ridge]

No

Shes waiting for online

[queen ember]

but crying about server stability day 1 of an EA access game fully releasing with a fuck ton of hype surrounding it is just weird

[proven ridge]

Stuck in loading screen now lol

[sick stratus]

I'm not really on the side of the people complaining, but customers have a right to complain about products that aren't working.

[queen ember]

sure, but review bombing it on steam is not the play

[sick stratus]

I agree with you there

[queen ember]

like nice man

you have almost 300 hours in the game

"trash/10"

[sick stratus]

they should have a queue

[queen ember]

good take

[sick stratus]

ffs

[minor bay]

we live in a society and culture now that operates entirely on the concept of instant gratification

[proven ridge]

There is a queue

You just

Dont even get to see it

Lol

[toxic apex]

it's a rite of passage that a fresh gaming studio experiences a shit launch

[proven ridge]

now its telling me conneting

not that online disabled

but stuck there

[sick stratus]

people are saying they logged in but still can't switch zones

[distant folio]

Yeah I got the stuck connecting too

[queen ember]

like

lol

they've gotten as many negative reviews as they have in the entirety of the game today

[full zephyr]

people are dumb as fuck

I didnt even start up the game

[queen ember]

and it's literally people going "trash"

[sick stratus]

I dunno how else people can express displeasure

[queen ember]

"dogshit game"

[proven ridge]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2hLh-3fPD8

people really dont have memory

[queen ember]

AWS servers gonna AWS

unlucky

[proven ridge]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDGdJToOcbs

sqeenix and amazon having launch issues

[woeful bolt]

my gear is cracked for lvl 2 zone

[proven ridge]

and an indie dev isnt going to somehow

[woeful bolt]

ms boots and rings, cast speed staff

[distant folio]

She is intruigued by the matchmaking

[proven ridge]

i have to go work in 30 min i hope servers stay broken till i come home :3

[wooden turtle]

no 😦

at least got tomorrow off as well so

can live

[barren pollen]

damn I shouldn't have logged off, could have grinded the exp there as well :D

[woeful bolt]

annoying my office day is tomorrow

[woeful bolt]

it's extremely monotonous

but now i have the moveskill for when i can play

[barren pollen]

beats fishing karambwans in oldschool runescape

doing that atm

[proven ridge]

huh

[woeful bolt]

unaware

[proven ridge]

[sick stratus]

ok well this is kinda stupid

lmao

[distant folio]

[minor bay]

oh yeah its completely stupid

[distant folio]

"kinda" that's full on

[minor bay]

but people these days have no patience

[distant folio]

There is no kinda in the level of stupidity there

[minor bay]

so when smth doesnt work the second they click on "buy" they go crazy

cuz no instant gratification

[sick stratus]

I mean patience or not seli customers expect a product to work flawlessly out of the box

[proven ridge]

it did work when i bought alright

like

3 months ago

[queen ember]

I think the gaming industry should just collaborate resources and make a centralized server set up for every game

that way you don't rely on someone like amazon's AWS or another provider

[minor bay]

ehh

the instant gratification expectation is a lot stronger in the day of fast food and 1-day delivery and vending machines etc.

our entire society is built around "i want right now, i can have"

go back 30-40years and it was quite different still

[queen ember]

tbf anyone expecting LE to "work out of the box" is hard smoking some crack

especially when they said they cut campaign work to get it launched

and that they'll add it in later

[full zephyr]

it was never going to work

because I was 100% sure it was mega hype and they would underestimate

[queen ember]

february of last year during its last "big" peak of 40k concurrent players it was just giga rubberbanding repeatedly

[full zephyr]

impossible to say or estimate

[queen ember]

ye they almost always underestimate it, because you don't wanna invest in a fuck ton of servers and then you're off the mark

cause you lose a metric fuckton of money doing that

[full zephyr]

and more servers doesnt mean it would work either

[queen ember]

ye cause of centralized login servers

[full zephyr]

its not how stuff often works

[proven ridge]

If people cant log in now how will Brent from Montana be able to compete for a top 100 leaderboard against the corporate streamers?

[queen ember]

TRUE

I'll just chill for a week or so and then try it next week

hope this opens up slots for helldivers 2 tbh

[proven ridge]

im just playing granblue lol

[queen ember]

I heard granblue's super fun

when the only complaint is the game took too long to release, you've got a solid game

[sick stratus]

imma finish this application and do some lsat shit in the meantime

[queen ember]

and @sick stratus I get it bro, it's not fun to buy a game and not be able to play it

[minor bay]

in many cases its not even smth you can avoid

[queen ember]

but I also feel like gamers these days just giga overreact

[minor bay]

even if you have the capacity for like

500k players

[sick stratus]

ye the bombing is not necessary

[minor bay]

or plan around getting 500k

[naive crag]

yea im gaming grandblue a lot too

[sick stratus]

thankfully im off this week now so

[minor bay]

you might get 300k and it still breaks

[queen ember]

helldivers almost doubled their server capacity btw

and it instantly filled up in 5mins each time

[naive crag]

capacity is as strong as the weakest link

[full zephyr]

is there like a proper league as well or is it just 1.0?

[proven ridge]

i switched servers to south east asia and got in lmaooo

i mean

i have 400 ping

but im in

[naive crag]

then you get error 61

[woeful bolt]

ya unless it fixes le61 ur still fucked

[sick stratus]

I t hink this adds the online features

like the trade guild or ssf guild

[proven ridge]

nope

no error

i got in and got to play

[woeful bolt]

there's no cycle exclusive mechanics

[proven ridge]

i mean

400 ping

but

im playing

[woeful bolt]

can you enter and exit the town though

that's the first zone u get it

[proven ridge]

i didnt try i tried going back to my server and now i cant connect lmao

[woeful bolt]

kek

[proven ridge]

ill try switching again lmao

ok asian servers connect in 10 seconds

[fierce hemlock]

i could get into town; leaving it was bricked

[woeful bolt]

town works?

[proven ridge]

omw

:(

[naive crag]

ayyy

[proven ridge]

people are spamming chat for teleports

post town

so ig thats one way?

idk if hardcore has a different start but i saw this streamer start in the last era?

[woeful bolt]

yeah it works

i just got a portal into town

[barren pollen]

Don't think so

Who

[proven ridge]

allie

or maybe she got a portal?

shes speedrunning to monoliths i think

but shes also getting LE-61 anyways lol

[worn mural]

sounds like playing offline was the right decision tbh

[barren pollen]

I mean anyone has that choice

[sick stratus]

I mean the whole point of the 1.0 launch was the online features

lmao

[worn mural]

I mean, falconer, cycles are available offline, I still get cof

and I get instant zone transitions and no lag

[proven ridge]

tell me if marksman is bugged

[worn mural]

bugged how?

[proven ridge]

Multishot

[worn mural]

wouldn't be able to tell ya

[proven ridge]

Also flurry and detonating arrow

Damn lmao

U rlly got hyped

[worn mural]

Aerial assault shadow daggers hyped, yeah

[woeful bolt]

no tps for gardens big rip

[naive crag]

i cant even enter the game rip

[worn mural]

are the instances capped out or something?

[fierce hemlock]

matchmaking server is fucked

so you can't enter instances

[worn mural]

surprising nobody

[woeful bolt]

5 minutes ago Still working on it. Some progress made on the backend.

[proven ridge]

Ty for playtesting for me while im at work

[woeful bolt]

[silver monolith]

[minor bay]

actually no, that was the last big patch which brought multiplayer/party play

[woeful bolt]

i got out of town

might be being fixered

[subtle jolt]

GAME time

lets fucking go

[woeful bolt]

progressed like 5 zones

zooming

[distant folio]

Servers alive? I'm probably just gonna wait till after dinner and see how they are then

[silver monolith]

did it auto connect u to diff server?

I got connected to us

after couple of errors

[woeful bolt]

left town again

seems good

[wooden turtle]

still cant get in

[woeful bolt]

i am speed

might be bricked again lolz

[sick stratus]

is it playable now?

[woeful bolt]

uh

maybe

rng tbh

mine was completely fine for 10 mins

then broke again

[fierce hemlock]

yeah im just gonna wait until like 2 am

[woeful bolt]

why does tomorrow have to be my office day

[fierce hemlock]

just get laid off like that reddit guy

[woeful bolt]

im going for a promotion in like 2 weeks

haven't finished preparing my deck for it

[fierce hemlock]

hope u get it

[woeful bolt]

2 minutes ago Stability is improving but we're nervous to say we're in the clear yet. We're still monitoring and looking for ways to ensure stability maintains

cant login anymore tho

[wooden turtle]

approaching the 2 hour count where i cant refund it anymore just from all the login attempts

KEK

[sick stratus]

you can still refund over 2

I've done it before

[fierce hemlock]

yeah under 2 is just the no questions asked refund time period

also early access

[woeful bolt]

there's a guy in steels chat saying they should hire new web devs to fix the servers

[fierce hemlock]

lol yeah bc that would happen insta

[woeful bolt]

web devs

[fierce hemlock]

they seen code before they should know how all hardware and software works

[woeful bolt]

yeah put me in coach

my frontend javascript gonna make those error tooltips pop

[fierce hemlock]

“Yo ehg u guys forgot a semicolon here, ez solution”

[woeful bolt]

oh i logged in again pog

[wooden turtle]

the server issues were to be expected right

[woeful bolt]

ofc

[wooden turtle]

that smug statement with “we are expecting no issues because we did a lot of limit testing though”

not sure if i wouldve put that out

[woeful bolt]

that isn't what they said though

[sick stratus]

"d4bad btw" oh wait d4 didnt have launch issues kekw

[woeful bolt]

they said 'we've taken a shit ton of precautions so we're hopeful buttttt bigger companies have failed and not likely we buck that trend'

[wooden turtle]

dont know about that

couldnt log in for 3 hours on that game aswell

on EU

[barren pollen]

?????????????????

it had GIGA issues and was literally unplayable for everyone

[sick stratus]

it was not but good revisionist history

[woeful bolt]

failed to matchmake is back

[wooden turtle]

ok i give up for today

playing tomorrow morning KEK

[woeful bolt]

oh relogging just booted me out of town to a new zone

such weird tech

[sick stratus]

dude stop spamming

[barren pollen]

literally think before you talk

[sick stratus]

how many people had these issues brother? I recall there not being many complaints on launch and it was smooth by comparison

[subtle jolt]

Dead again

[barren pollen]

literally EVERYONE

It was released on EU first then NA

And the entire EU release was botched

[sick stratus]

d4 if I recall got praised for smooth launch

[barren pollen]

completely

[minor bay]

d3 was a gigantic mess, and d4 was unplayable for about half a day or so

[barren pollen]

It was literally completely unplayable

no one could even log in

[minor bay]

where you basically couldnt zone in to many areas

[barren pollen]

First you had issues just getting inside the game

[minor bay]

it was also a midnight release for EU, so there were fewer complaints from eu players as a result

[barren pollen]

literally everyone just sat in queue

randomly getting dc'd after waiting 30 minutes

[minor bay]

but ye, even the launcher wouldnt let you in for hours at first

[barren pollen]

then starting again

like what the fuck

[sick stratus]

calm down

it's not that serious

[minor bay]

this was kinda

regular experience for most people i think

[sick stratus]

I don't remember that

[minor bay]

well, i know it was an issue for about half the people i knew

[sick stratus]

anyways doesn't matter the point was to say that alot of people meme d4 but I recall it had a smooth launch. And specifically content creators in the lead up to LE memed D4 and their launch is now a complete disaster

for once I'm playing advocate for Blizzard

[red light]

anyone being able to play more than 5min before DC? 😄

[subtle jolt]

yes

havnet dcd once

[barren pollen]

Funnily enough this is still a better launch than what Diablo 4 had

[subtle jolt]

but now matchmaking servers are dead again

[barren pollen]

So

[sick stratus]

? bro the game isn't playable

[barren pollen]

Idk what kind of a cave you lived in

Exactly

Neither was D4

Maybe you got off work 12 hours after D4 launched

or something

[sick stratus]

I dunno

I was pretty busy over the summer so

[minor bay]

d4 was one of the smoothest launches blizz had, all things considered

not as big of a shitshow as d3

and it worked pretty well within 24hrs

[barren pollen]

Alright I just got in

Online mode works let's go

[minor bay]

but they also had 2 massive server stress tests

and had like 25+ releases tat this point to get it right

its just a lot of technical stuff that goes into it, i.e. i remember a few very smooth poe launches, and then the next one was giga scuffed again

[barren pollen]

They also had the thing where premium players could start 3 days early

[minor bay]

oh ye true

that was the fucked release tho

cuz i bought the big edition with gold

[barren pollen]

Oh yeh that's true

[fierce hemlock]

yeah were all the d4 issues the 3 days early release time

bc i dont remember it being a problem but i played the normal release date

[wooden turtle]

ceverion dont make me log in again

dont give me hope

[barren pollen]

I'm in, working perfectly

[wooden turtle]

ok

last last last attempt

99% of gamblers stop before they hit it big and all that

[woeful bolt]

relogging lets me progress like half the time

[subtle jolt]

vibing rn

[wooden turtle]

i got in

[queen ember]

Is it a new Diablo if it doesn’t have those issues tho?

[minor bay]

i hope its not a new diablo

[silver monolith]

welp I cant go back to keep for the quest

[minor bay]

i like that we hav a variety of aRPGs that all have differnet niches

and speak to a slightly differnet demographic

we have the super sweatlords who play poe, the couch gaming gamerdads with d4, and a lot of stuff in between with grim dawn, last epoch, torchlight etc.

[red light]

100% is a better launch than d4

idk though if its only me but past like 30min or something i disconnect form the server every like 5min for some reason

ive stopped trying for today gonna relax

[minor bay]

its just kinda... idk

normal, i feel?

something comes out, you either want to be one of the first to enjoy it, youll have to go through some growing pains

[red light]

yup

[minor bay]

its like a new book releasing and you wanna buy it asap but then you realize theres 150 people who built tents in front of the book store

[red light]

its pretty much every day 1 launch

even in poe every new season

[minor bay]

and theres a bunch of chaos and not enough hardcopies and what are you gonna do etc.

poe has had a few very good releases

but looking at any online game

its just garbage on the first night

so you either sit through it cause oyu wanna play it ASAP

or you wait a day or two and shits working well

[red light]

its fiiiine my man,its not like the game will stop existing tommorow

i like it alot btw

very nice game

its like

u forced diablo and poe make a child

thats last epoch

lil bit of both

[wooden turtle]

ok stuck in burning forest aswell now

fun

[barren pollen]

Everyone's spamming their referral codes in general

sigh

Remember to use referral code "Ceverion" for a free pet! Just press H and type "Ceverion" to get your free pet!

I will tp you to Keepers' Camp if you refer me!

[wooden turtle]

tp me to keepers camp and i will simp for u

[red light]

what are u cooking?

[woeful bolt]

relogging lets you enter zones that are erroring for me, but you could get stuck on login, hasnt happend to me for a while though

gamba relog

[wooden turtle]

i cannot

[barren pollen]

Sure
