are you also planning for something to make cannon damage matter, isntead of players just hitting the boats with abilities?

[rancid tusk]

@vague leaf Dont listen to the trolls. you guys are doing amazing work. Even though i lost a wolf or two.. i can easily get em back. Keep up the good work 🙂

[dusk forum]

@vague leaf Are we going to get caravan and boat specific commodities or will crates be the way forward

[vague leaf]

Yes, they will share a unique damage type that ignore structure and vehicle dmg mitigation, making them necessary to effectively destroy a vehicle or building, and heavily reducing player dmg

[subtle thicket]

So I can have my group jump on their boat to sink it? That sounds awesome

Anyone know why the dagger has become ultra rare for the Eye of Esh quest? Something changed with the drop rates and now it's basically not dropping. I leveled from 10 to 11 with 0 drops in all my parties

[glacial rose]

Makes me wonder, can you pull one of those boats up that have cannons next to a city near the water like KT and just rain down hellfire on them?

[white parrot]

@vague leaf is it possible to add the bare minimum to settlements concerning crafting/gathering/processing? If the goal is to have a world we can expand out into and level up there with the node, you cant really do that until lvl 3 node because of the material vendors not being there. I mean you still can go back to the starting zone but is that really a good thing to force the player to do?

[whole cobalt]

seers have the highest drop rate for it i got it in 5 minutes

Please just spawn me at a nearby emberspring im tired of falling for 15 minutes

[elfin aurora]

idk man, I didn't lose a single caravan P2 and I did it twice a day, and the route was static and map was much smaller and no road buffs/building buffs and other stuff. I think caravans are fine you just have to be smart

[hasty summit]

I've killed probably 1000 of them

[verbal harness]

It was a joke. It's just crazy to me how many people have a stray thought and their first response is to ping the CEO. Like imagine wanting Walmart to carry a product so you write a letter to their CEO

You don't understand caravans at all then my friend. Its changed with DRs, limiting my caravan which is 10x the risk of mules to barely 3x capacity of a mule (if fully upgraded to JM or lego parts) is not an equal trade at all. Caravans were always more fun than mules/crates

[dense mason]

wrong, you willnot be playing until tmr sadly.

[dusk forum]

Yes, that has changed the routes people run (BECAUSE people running awful crate rarities can just nuke the DRs). Having caravans be THE BEST way to make gold is not a bad thing. Crates on mules should be gutted by like 30% and caravan specific commodities should return

@vague leaf Hello is there a way you could please allow for scaling the size of the mouse cursor to a substantially larger size please?

[floral peak]

Earlier in the year xp depended on character level. Not sure how it is now. I think it depends on your level in comparison to the mob so too low or too high you get less xp

[rugged quartz]

Put it in feedback instead

[shy warren]

Oh wow so even if you kill a mob way above your level, exp isn’t as much?

[floral peak]

Depends on the levels of people in your party

[runic osprey]

Yeah, but what about the group? If I'm in a group of 4, I'll receive as much as the same XP if I was in a group of 8??

[novel girder]

Are we able to build up other areas yet like Sunhaven or anything?

[floral peak]

No it’s still split xp of party members in range so more xp per player if in a smaller party. Mob gives same amount of xp regardless in total so obviously a 4 way split is better than 8 lol

well this make no sens , i feel cheated. you advertised before and it is still on the internet that when your ship is destroyed you can repair it on land but it will be costly to do and take ressources. now without advertizing otherwise , it is now gone when you get destroyed ??? i spent a week grinding for that money to buy my fishing boat and im now left with no gold and no ship to fish for a new one ....

[chilly hawk]

Skill issue tbh

[scarlet rose]

howd you lose it?

well that is not the question, something was said about the mechanics of this systeme .. now its just not it . i was prepared to have to take time and ressources to repair it .. now i ahve to spend another 18g ??? hell no .

cant you just recall your boat like all the mounts?

Carpenters repair kit - Ship owners can use the kit to repair their boat but the max durability(not related to ship HP) is reduced each time it is repaired until destroyed for good. Less reduction based on the quality and/or the artisan level of the carpenter that created/sold the kit. @vague leaf

phase 1 or alpha 1? because I've been here all phases of A2 and loading in has never been rougher. everything else is smoother

[dim iris]

JUST GOT THROUGH A 3+ HOUR QUEUE TOO

[half pilot]

I've shared this player sentiment with the team, but they are trying to go with the lowest impact to players based on population and also trying to make sure it's not too late for the devs so their brains are still working efficiently. 😝

I'm just the messenger, don't shoot me. 🙏🏽😅💕

[wary yew]

[wheat coral]

on a sat night is crazy

[ebon hull]

what happens if I just brought 2 crates up to the anvils for an hour with a mule and lagged out right when I got there

[steady saddle]

christmas PTO denied

[half pilot]

Saturday is just cause we are trying to get these fixes to you all ASAP.

[proper ice]

Thank you for the reasoning.. Wishing you the best!

[mint lake]

Servers down?

[crude river]

The nerds will always complain.

[feral eagle]

How to level up guilds, can someone explain?

[proper ice]

going down for maintenance.

[blissful trench]

that absolutley sucks

[uncut pilot]

They launched a new phase last year at this time and then promptly all went on vacation so nothing got done besides emergency maint. It did not go well. So they got people working this year in larger numbers doing what needs to be done.

[half pilot]

I'm going MIA for a nap. See y'all for update time!

[edgy tapir]

You really should be resting, you looked like you were really sick. Hope you get to feeling better soon. now, go to bed!

[mint lake]

Ah bit suprised said 7 am my time in news but its 5am now

[dreamy sage]

This may be the first time that restarting steam doesn't work. It just goes from loading screen to loading screen

[vast juniper]

a quick question, is the overall leveing expierence (drop rate too) faster then compared what we will have at release?

[wicked axle]

can sport fishing happen along the coast beneath lionhold, or only ponds inside land masses?

[wary yew]

restarted steam, game, pc, life, still stuck on async loading

[empty helm]

Hello chat, where is the starting zone at to buy crafting materials?

[manic sinew]

The irony of not being able to claim the cloak from mail

[blissful trench]

guess i shouldve played earlier fuuuuck

[half pilot]

Yah, I was the most sick on Tuesday 103.7°F fever. My brain was melting.

I'm still congested, but better now. 😅

[wary yew]

thats great!

[dreamy sage]

Same. Ah well. Servers are coming down in a couple of hours

[uncut pilot]

Stop typing Margaret. GO TAKE THAT NAP! If you get sicker or relapse it won't help.

[vast linden]

relapse?🧙🏼‍♂️

[feral eagle]

Ok so no one has an idea how to level up guilds?

[wicked axle]

can sport fishing happen along the coast beneath lionhold, or only ponds inside land masses?

[dense dove]

Band-Aids for outside boo boo. Alcohol is for inside boo boo.

[uncut pilot]

Back to a high fever condition yet again. Not drugs you degenerate.

[vast linden]

my bad

[terse stone]

Anyone know how to fix it just being stuck on "Waiting for Async loading, 100%" then never does anything.

[wicked axle]

just keep exiting and trying again tbh

[terse stone]

lol yeah it keeps just reloading itself

[spice basin]

I wish I knew

[wicked axle]

never had so many problems loading into ashes

[wary yew]

does not work, 1/10, wouldn't restart again

[wraith cobalt]

waiting for async loading for 5 minutes

[spice basin]

I did this and still same problem

[uncut pilot]

Then you fucked. Try something else.

[terse stone]

It was super laggy before I relogged, now cant get in hah. They doing a patch soon I guess, they probably pre-broke shit

[remote silo]

the async reload is such a tease

[wary yew]

[spice basin]

I'm thinking /uninstall might fix it

[barren valve]

im using rapier with bard for dps does the weapon changes to magic? so i need all my gear mag stats? as in magic power ect?

[frigid mulch]

After patcch

[terse stone]

"When the realms are back online, we'll provide update notes." crazy what reading does

[tardy inlet]

are the realms just pre-fucked?

[vast linden]

tulnar today⸮

[wicked axle]

sport fishing spawn rates need to be 10x higher ngl

[empty roost]

If it says “phys power” it only boosts physical power, if it says “mag power” it boost magical and healing power, if it says “power” it boosts all 3 powers

[remote silo]

https://tenor.com/view/austin-powers-mike-myers-stuck-bad-driving-gif-3520775

[dreamy sage]

Yup. Stuck in Async so Now I are here

[uncut pilot]

You should see the feedback on how one guild has managed to take over 4 nodes on a single server already by stuff. Intrepid is going to play with those cooldowns throughout the process, but you should get used to it being longer. The planned as of last information cooldown on swapping guilds or citizenship is going to land at around 2 weeks by launch to stop people from exploiting certain systems as they come online.

[coral flicker]

This in fact does not work 2/10

[barren valve]

it says mag power so my rapier will do magic damage?

[tardy inlet]

@dreamy sageyeah that happened to me, then i tried to reload and getting error 37 on main

[uncut pilot]

Maybe the patch in two hours will fix it then. https://tenor.com/bBcrJ.gif

[empty roost]

Yes it will scale ur magic power

[feral eagle]

Is guild levelling only possible with caravans runs?
Nothing else contributes?
Onlu suitable for ppl who wanna run around the map?

[coral flicker]

My grass is dead, no reason to go out at -2 degrees

[white parrot]

thank you steven for the mob reset. tons to hunt now.

[left gust]

dont think of it as it does magic damage think if it as a stat stick for ur stats, u go mag power or phy power depending on ur class

[tardy inlet]

@uncut pilotit is to dark outside to touch grass. My neighbors may call the cops

[frigid forum]

giving people on Shol server $5 if they leave, so that my queue lowers

[keen ridge]

Ya there is, ice fishing 😁

[tribal shoal]

guild comodity runs

[versed pebble]

LOL waiting for 3 hours in queue to get to single digits on the server queue and an error message pop up and close the game

[fleet goblet]

count me as the 1/10 then -_-. music changes after first screen then just loops async

[lilac gulch]

You guys are in a queue, im not even making it the queue

[fathom echo]

when is hunting carcass quantity yield being increased? you need so much of it to craft even 1 piece of medium gear

[feral eagle]

Yeah so just crate running?
Basically the most boring gameplay in the game is the only way to level a guild?

[frigid forum]

its working, 12 people dropped after i said this

[ebon hull]

Don't run crates. I just spent over an hour riding a mule across the whole map just to be lagged out the second I saw my arrival city in the horizon.

[autumn arrow]

@half pilot Can you give us the option to spawn at a different server worker instead of sitting in queue for 5 hrs? My game crashed at Miraleth now im stuck in a 5 hr queue just to get the update in 2 hrs

[manic sinew]

Flip a coin on whether you'll arrive with the crates lol

[wary yew]

miraleth is so fcked, async loading foreeeeeever

[remote silo]

youll finish queue just to join us in async hell

[queen adder]

perma loading screen D:

[fathom echo]

this could probably be exploited, i'd just avoid miraleth

[feral eagle]

yeah ok but for guild levelling seems kinda ... lame that crate running is the only way to lvl it?

[nova hornet]

async loading forever in joeva as well

[ionic spire]

which city

[dense dove]

Async fix worked with the closing out to steam library and then back in for me. Worked.

[tardy inlet]

@feral eagle if your whole guild runs crates as a group, you will do it faster

[wary yew]

https://tenor.com/view/sandlot-forever-gif-8849024546899536009

[remote silo]

trying it a second time rn

[tulip coral]

On a Saturday night is wild

[fathom echo]

you can use lawless trophies that give 100 xp for risking your life in a lawless area to farm them. Instead just run completely safe crates

[feral eagle]

Yeah so we all are doing the most boring gameplay loop together... or is there a bonus for doing it all together?

[potent barn]

Damn anyone having infinite loading screen atm?

[wicked axle]

is there a consistent sport fishing cycle in riverlands or not? it's so ass trying to find it

[autumn arrow]

exploited by spawning at an emberspring 2 meters away from the city?

[late kiln]

does anyone have a rundown on the US servers? like how its used to be pvp vs pve vs streamers

[junior atlas]

bro 20k and the servers are dying give me a break

[feral eagle]

100xp lol out of 3mil

[potent barn]

YOU TOOO?????? GG server is cooked

[autumn arrow]

Guys, STOP putting pregnant man emoji on my messaged!!!311!

[ebon hull]

vhalgadim

[sharp ember]

If you have async for like 10 minutes. Close Game. Close Launcher, Restart Steam. Make sure all services for steam stopped. 👍🏻

[wary yew]

thats one pregnant man

[fathom echo]

Yeah they keep making lawless stuff way worse than non lawless stuff while saying the opposite in streams. I don't get it. Lawless fishing gives less profit than non-lawless fishing at the moment too.

[ionic spire]

ok

[wicked axle]

well hopefully the devs rework sport fishing to be more of a gameplay loop and less of a "man i hope i get lucky and the node spawns in my area someday"

[tardy inlet]

@feral eagle not really a benefit, unless you are going through sketchy areas, other than that, you can shoot the shit while you run to prevent boredom

[warm trout]

I do - Getting continuous Async Loading Screen

[umbral path]

I did still not working

[sharp ember]

It worked for 99% people.. why you special

haha

[potent barn]

It's not just me then, there are other suffering too

[umbral path]

My luck!

[warm trout]

Yeah looks like a few people are having the same issue

[wary yew]

WE IN THE GAME BOYOS

[remote silo]

async forever. none of the normal workarounds are working around

[barren valve]

does mag speed works with the rapier if cahnge to mag power stat?

[feral eagle]

Eh ok but we can do that while actually killing stuff too?
I Dont get it ... 3mil to level up, and the only way to do it, is to take materials from a place to a place who you dont even know needs it? Just ride a horse from a to b? There is so much to do in the game and levelling guild can only be done riding around doing nothing?

Not with pvp
Not with clearing mobs
Not with crafting/ gather/ refining
Not with commission boards

Wut

[thick maple]

stuck async too. I was about to reboot PC but if everyone having it guess no need.

[potent barn]

I wonder if there's a fix

[wraith cobalt]

async from every character no matter the zone or server

[onyx valley]

Why are they bringing down realms at 10pm on saturday night 👎

[fathom echo]

1am in real people time

[empty roost]

Ur basic attack speed won’t change as far as I know, mag speed effects ur magical cast speed as far as I know

[empty geyser]

East Coast its 1am bedtime 😎

[sharp ember]

3pm in asian time

[nimble sonnet]

Should at least do at 0300 est

[carmine hemlock]

7pm New Zealand time 🙃

[empty geyser]

it will be once it comes back online!

[uncut pilot]

Middle of the afternoon for me.

[ebon hull]

what happens to my crates if I lag out while riding a mule

[junior atlas]

so we are getting rollbacks left and right, who is exploiting the game?

[carmine hemlock]

It is positive to see how quickly they want to take action ❤️

[grim stream]

doneso

[past hollow]

Do restarts at 11am again then

[onyx valley]

the "team" doesnt have brains at 5am? hahaha

[barren valve]

i have this spell that make my phys speed and mag speed 25% faster which makes my rapier attk faster? im guessing it does?

[agile elbow]

that shit probably gone ..

[placid trellis]

cool. halcyon nodes crashed when running crates in. GG system on not recovering those

It's for the best, a lot of us need the update to play further

[minor prairie]

Man like get you fukin servers figured out FFS

bro i got 20 legendary items and all of them are gone now hahahaha

[junior atlas]

im not lying 0.0 bro i have been gathering the heck out of the tropics and got good mats

[bitter veldt]

SOUNDS LIKE YOU NEED A BETTER GUILD

[tulip coral]

Idr if it was last phase or before the but one phase we have every region on one server. NA, EU every body on one server and it played better then this phase will multiple servers. Explain it plz

[dreamy sage]

They want the game to create the party for them so they can speed run without talking and get epic lewtz

[cold torrent]

i just got in lunch steam then the game

[gritty sierra]

i got in but i was falling into the infinite void below town

[umbral path]

Doesnt work for me

[simple oxide]

was the server meant to go down just now?

[empty roost]

Why carry that much without going to storage, sounds kinda susss

[tardy inlet]

@tulip coral it was def better pre steam

[wicked axle]

yeah probably do need a new guild. need to find one that actually tries to get people in to level.

[bitter veldt]

Crashed in KT, on Resna

[tough sable]

P2.5

[shut gale]

If you are having issues after steam make sure it is on a ssd again know i had to move my stuff back to fix load times

[slate rain]

I had this before and had to restart game

[bitter veldt]

Did that, full restart

[slate rain]

Oh, maybe update in 1hour 30m will fix it hopefully

[livid notch]

So, we got forcefully logged out, Error 37, and now we are stuck on Async loading that keeps refreshing... any known fix or are we just done until update tonight?

phase 2 system Glint to Commdity with No DR was perfect steven. Just go back to that

no need to revamp. You already had it right.

[topaz torrent]

Phase 2 caravans really were great, being able to use glint was very nice. Onboarding people into caravans a bit easier while maintaining a high investment price for the better caravans would really go a long way to get people out on them again

[late pagoda]

the 6 primary stats were a litle confusing until i read them, and realised it's 3 physical 3 magican, for each it's 1 def 1 offensive and 1 mixed.

restarted steam and it went away, but still couldnt get past async

[late pagoda]

Don't go on Christamas Break and leave us like this!

[sharp obsidian]

[chilly hawk]

50+ hours in game, never had any of these issues yall are talking about because I picked a quiet server.

[golden chasm]

Sign out of launcher then sign back in

[vestal radish]

i tried restarting game, laucher AND steam now. still no luck.

[junior atlas]

they need to do something with the server workers cause this is not good

[mossy iris]

Yeah nothing has fixed it.

[golden chasm]

Verified game files via steam?

[daring pumice]

Yeah verifying found 3 files taht needed to be re-downloaded

[abstract cipher]

Done that, still got the loading screen loop.

[thorny marsh]

thank god servers are rebooting, the servers are stroking out from quest mobs being hung up to rubber banding etc

[honest heron]

Verified files, ended all steam/AoC tasks, restarted steam. Nothing at all has alleviated the issue and ofc I go afk near lionhold after getting my fishing cert upgraded lol.

[rain leaf]

just made a crate got error cant log in stuck at async loading

[hearty burrow]

Can we add some underwear underneath this. ;w;

[rain leaf]

just great

[golden chasm]

Furries will rampage.

[cedar tree]

if so many people are having the async issues why not do the update now, if they have it ready that is?

[zenith glade]

Atom suggested verifying files as well and pinging him if its fixed or not earlier. Its a ways up at this point but yeah

[weary stump]

Had the same issue. Running steam in admin seems to fix it, but could just be coincidence. Servers seem to be having a lot of issues tonight

[elfin flint]

gonna be a long couple weeks 🙂

[hazy timber]

Love how peeps say they followed the instructions to a t, but we all know mmo players cant read

[dreamy sage]

I get to 100% Async and it's sits for a bit, then it loads a new screen and starts over

[weary stump]

Async issue ended, but now getting the 37 issue

[elfin flint]

I'd agree but I stopped reading your message after peeps

[honest heron]

Ping you because its broke lol

[rotund knoll]

I also think it's kinda crazy how people will choose their favorites in large guilds.
But small guilds are always helping everyone they can

[elfin flint]

that's a joke. cuz i'm an mmo player. 🙂

[daring pumice]

best to close the game from steam and not use Atl+F4 as I found I corrupt some files and have to verify integrity again.

[hearty burrow]

https://tenor.com/view/what-what-the-what-the-hell-wtf-gif-8562994133044611418

I love all guilds. ; n ; Except for Coureurs de Bois

[elfin flint]

huh. I restarded my computer and I got right in this time

[weary stump]

With how common the async issue is, it’s clearly something server side

[drowsy osprey]

Do they use server meshing or something?

[elfin flint]

try a reboot if you have the async issues

[pallid osprey]

uh... so servers went down early eh?

[drowsy osprey]

I'm still on but my friends DCd in Avens, servers being rocky.

[pallid osprey]

ah nvm. error 37 gone

Why the f do we keep taking down NA servers at 10 pm for three hours. Three times in a row now. Absolutely stupid. Do it later in the day so less people are affected

[wicked axle]

yeah, big guild hasn't really done much of anything for me

[lilac gulch]

... i restarted computer and updated my graphics drivers to "fix" my async issue

[sharp phoenix]

Do it at like 6am EST or something

as 1/3 bard player, i feel bad for bards, their direct healing is so shit... it seems worse then summoners.

[bright jewel]

wait all these server restarts are just free world boss weapons right?

[honest heron]

Yeah but my cleric loves bards

[drowsy osprey]

I wanna cleric sub bard.

[bold temple]

i don't need bard at all, i get my mana from the weapon buff i put on another person. (when playing cleric)

[wicked axle]

any solo grind spots for level 10-12

[visual field]

infinite load screen?

[honest heron]

I am pretty mana efficient at times, but when I burn through a ton of cooldowns bards are so great in those situations.

[bold temple]

maybe it's a high lvl issue, or that i got a decent mana regen cloak.

[wicked axle]

if there are any guilds on lyneth that don't just pick favorites and leave everybody else behind on levels lmk

[weary stump]

I did the same and it did nothing. The “fix” for me was making sure steam was running as admin, but I think it’s a server-side issue

[zealous nebula]

bard also provides mana to the dps, so the fights are shorter

[bold temple]

bards should get at least 1 emergency heal on long CD, for when shit hits the fan.

[zealous nebula]

and to the tank, so no sitting around between pulls

It needs to be like 6AM - 7AM EST

[hazy timber]

you mean now right LUL

[pallid osprey]

if you are stuck on the loading screen. Alt+F4, close launcher, close steam. launch steam start game. Did this and i'm in

why the fuck maitence on a saturday

[sharp phoenix]

Im glad there is maintainence , but terrible time.

[dreamy sage]

Done that 5 times but a ful PC reboot. Nothing

[spiral atlas]

While the usual "it is still an alpha" would normally apply, I do agree that these sorts of patch windows should not still be a thing post Steam EA release.

same difference. downtime for 2hrs

[crude heath]

Stuck in infinite async loading. Here is what I have tried:

1. Restart Game
2. Restart Launcher
3. Restart Steam
4. End all steam processes in Task Manager
5. Verify Game Files
6. Flush DNS
7. Restart Computer
8. Reset Ethernet
9. Uninstall and Reinstall Ashes
10. Install Ashes on different PC and attempt logging in

Nothing worked. I am confident this is an issue on AoC's end, not mine

[hazy timber]

Its good to have confidence

[spiral atlas]

Pushing a downtime-inducing update during primetime on a Saturday night within a week or so following your Steam launch is, indeed, not a good practice and one they really need to move away from.

yes its on aoc end

I take the day/night off and now they decide to bring it down for maintenance, fuck me I should buy a lottery ticket

[rugged quartz]

its 50 minutes til they take the servers down for 3h. doubt they will fix it before then lol

[spiral atlas]

If you think that pushing updates during primetime Saturday night is good, I can only believe that you genuinely want the game to fail.

[pallid osprey]

people are 100% playing rn...

It's an alpha child. Not a full game. Scurry along

[spiral atlas]

Obviously, emergency maintenance windows will need to happen. Steven mentioned an update earlier today though so, to some degree, this was planned.

[dawn needle]

"muh alpha" cope

[scarlet trout]

how many years has this been in development again?

[spiral atlas]

Ahh yes there it is.

[rugged quartz]

how is 6am europe time primetime? lol you know the game is global and not just in usa xD

it's not a triple a studio, not even close.

"its an alpha" aka I'm scared of genuine discussions about improvements to the game which respect players time

your president got a hardon for europe and you guys (americans) cant stop larping european cultures so your point is moot

you bootlicking mothertruckers think so low of yourself god damn

YAAAAAA Guys i made it, if loading screen apear more than 5 times close game and try again...

i waited 4 years for it to be as stable as it is before buying it. i'm content af. no idea why these kids keep crying about the issues

[rugged quartz]

you claimed noone care about europe and i proved you wrong. how does that ''not matter''

[dawn needle]

Get your politics out of this shit, we have enough to complain about, like a maintenance on a primetime saturday night

we need the ec2s handling inventory, storage and markets to be upgraded please for the love of god

the devs do, thats why their maitain on na primetime and not eu xD

Still crying about the alpha. Changed your name after getting smacked around earlier

I was smart enough to not join any of the test phases tbh

[barren valve]

auntion house so slow to load!!!! please fix it

[keen ridge]

Stop, its fun asf lol

[pallid osprey]

sounds like this is your first alpha then?

[dawn needle]

You are correct sir

[rugged quartz]

what bro really said ''i paid them 100+ euro and never joined any test phase until now and that makes me smart'' 🤣 so you over paid and got no bennefit lol

[pallid osprey]

welcome to alpha life. this is normal all the way to the end of last phase of beta. best to play casually with your main game ready to launch at any time

[dawn needle]

$75 in 2018

[vapid dust]

Elevators were always my bellwether for the game state. If they were broken, I signed out for another 6 months. 😆

[scarlet trout]

if you wanted this to truly remain an alpha it should not have been release to steam yet..... the steam release was either for investor hunting or quick money ... either way not a good move

[rugged quartz]

really? was it a sale because in 2023 it was still 100 euro for the cheapest pack im sure

[hazy timber]

Maybe they just praised the sun

[jagged quartz]

they addressed why in the dev stream

[pulsar cloud]

whats the deal with the lopping loading screens

[dawn needle]

It was a beta II package, I backed because I thought the idea sounded great. I don't hate, but the current state annoys me only because I have limited time to actually play due to my busy work schedule

[spiral atlas]

The reality is that "alpha" or not, Intrepid made the decision to push their product into Steam EA and by extension a much larger audience. With that change, they really should adjust certain parts of their process, including when they schedule downtime windows.

[hazy timber]

https://tenor.com/view/michael-jackson-comendo-picoca-gif-9669437860846841235

[pallid osprey]

they may not be used to such large participation. i'm sure if they get enough flak they will adjust

[rugged quartz]

yea it will hurt them in the future. most people buying it now think its early access, not alpha so they will leave bad reviews, return or never touch the game again. then when the game actually release (if it release) people will not buy it

[rocky hill]

week 2, still have spent more time in queues or locked out due to errors or looping loading screens or server downtime than actually playing

[empty helm]

Sad but true, people are dumb and dont read

[wind pendant]

man that sucks i got a casual 111hours atm

[scarlet trout]

at current rate this game will end up being another perma alpha

[rugged quartz]

tbh they put ''this is an alpha'' at the bottom of the text instead of the top

[fathom girder]

What is with these 10 pm server maintenance. Granted I can't login into any of my characters so it's needed.

[rocky hill]

i was similar the first couple phases, then i got a job. would not recommend

[dawn needle]

Going early access on steam was a bad move. Should have just stuck to the typical test schedule. I would have preferred waiting until Beta II before hopping in and trying it out before dealing with this piss poor test that is the equivalent to star citizen

[rugged quartz]

7am in sweden lol get good

[rapid trellis]

Nah it was good idea

[pallid osprey]

ok ok, legit question... does it go epic then heroic or heroic then epic? im fishing and trying to figure out rarity in this game

[wind pendant]

yeah i mean my schedual is 4 10s so its nice

[empty helm]

lol truu, i heard from discord, YT and streamers its an alpha so i guess i didnt read either 😭

[wraith mural]

AGAIN WHYYYYYYYYYYY

[rugged quartz]

i assume epic - heroic - legendary

[rocky hill]

legend > epic > heroic

[spiral atlas]

common uncommon rare heroic epic legendary

It is a bad rarity system and heroic needs to die

[pallid osprey]

what color is legend? tf?

[rugged quartz]

i heard it from streamers so i made sure to read the text still before buying lol

[rocky hill]

legendary is orange

[muted coral]

it goes heroic epic legendary

[wraith mural]

WHO DOES A 3 HOUR MAINT AT 11PM ON A SATURDAY

[pallid osprey]

thanks everyone. wild.

[rugged quartz]

yea i honestly thought heroic was legendary for so long lol because its gold

[bronze river]

Heroic-epic-legendary

[muted coral]

i made the mix up the other day and ended up turning most of my epic mats into heroic

[spiral atlas]

Yes, the colors are way too similar and that is part of why heroic just needs to go away.

[pallid osprey]

heroic and epic are backwards imo lol

[muted coral]

yeah based off the names you would think heroic is better

[empty helm]

ya that confused me when i was looking at market

[rocky hill]

purple should be the highest color

[spiral atlas]

So many points of confusion disappear if they just remove heroic.

[pallid osprey]

legendary should be pink

[dawn needle]

Doing a maintenance during primetime is the most ape-brained move ever, debate em

[hazy timber]

Except on what to expect in Alphas, right?

[bronze river]

Yea you'd think it'd be that way

[dreamy sage]

https://tenor.com/view/michael-jackson-comendo-picoca-gif-9669437860846841235

[rugged quartz]

wait epic is above heroic? how.. telling an epic joke or being a hero? i know what id choose

[unborn thunder]

Fixing Settlement XP is far more important for most people so we can actually progress the entire core princple of the game, than your wish to grind for nothing for 3 hours

[muted coral]

it's basically always peak time somewhere to be fair

[spiral atlas]

You clearly lack sufficient understanding of nuance to discuss this. Just stop.

[wind pendant]

didnt know midnight is prime time

[dreamy sage]

Be an Epic Hero!!!

[dawn needle]

On a saturday night, yes

[exotic junco]

guys guys... you know diablo iv has paladin now?! 3 hours ez pz

[hazy timber]

Nah I can speak out my ass just as well as your doing

[empty helm]

prime brainrot time

[pallid osprey]

1 am my time, 11 pm my brothers time, 10 pm my oldest sons time. peak somewhere is accurate

[dreamy sage]

It's beer o'clock somewhere

[rugged quartz]

grind for nothing you say? my inventory tell a diferent story. 2 hours of afk fishing (had the horse before starting)

[unborn thunder]

That's awesome mate - for you - however almost every guild in the game wants to start upgrading their settlements

[wind pendant]

i read that and started singing its 5 oclock somewhere lol

[unborn thunder]

But I'm super glad you have a lot of fish pal

[pallid osprey]

he needs to organize that inventory of fish though. ocd is triggered here

[spiral atlas]

There are reasonable windws to push updates and force downtime. 9PM-Midnight NA time on a Saturday night is not one of those.

[rugged quartz]

whats wrong with it?

[unborn thunder]

Bro said grinding though when really he just put an autoclicker on and AFK'd with a fishing rod while he gooned for 3 hours

[pallid osprey]

shut down game, close launcher, restart steam.

@rugged quartz mine has a type of fish per bag organized by rarity lol

[rugged quartz]

better?

[wraith mural]

i do not understand a US based company doing maint at primetime weekend playtime. no other mmo does this. its always after 3am.

[hazy timber]

I like how your "understanding of nuance" is to repeat the same thing over and over. Truly just impressive is what it is.

[spiral atlas]

Its not like people can reliably tell the difference between uncommon, heroic, and legendary from thumbnails anyway. 😂

[dawn needle]

I regret picking shol as my server

11pm isn't really prime time, it's bed time pal - go make a herbal tea and get your jim jams on

did not know autoclickers were allowed? are they? @vague leaf

can we not take it down so early, push it back a few hours

[proud sundial]

Its down half an hour early ?

[rugged quartz]

i know but he thought i used autoclicker (meaning he most likely does) and its not that afk fishing needs it, its that people most likely use it to not get afk kicked

[wind pendant]

till only be down betwen sometime and 3 hours depending if they delay

[fathom barn]

rip i just got on lmao

[mild furnace]

on a saturday night? tf?

butt its gonna be ready 30 minutes early?

Seriously lol I was planning on staying up all night to play!

[pallid osprey]

what's the afk timer? lol

[rugged quartz]

few hours? servers go down in like 20 min xD

[dawn needle]

That's what im saying, save it for a monday night or something, holy hell

[worn flame]

Push it back a few hours at least!

[proud sundial]

30 mins

[rugged quartz]

think 30 minutes, honestly have not checked. but first night afk fishing i went to bed thinking it would keep me online lol it did not

You are correct, no other MMO does this and it is putting a sour taste in the mouths of a lot of people, but don't dare question it or the "but muh alpha" people with room temperature IQs will come out in droves to tell you why everyone but them is wrong.

[unborn thunder]

Dunno about you bro but I'm 35, I'm unc now, I'll have my slippers on by 10pm

go have another 4hr nap

[spiral atlas]

I know it may shock you, but there exists a very fringe concept which you may have never heard of called a "maintenance window" which is usually set during a time of low daily user activity, not in the peak. Most development teams plan their updates to push during these windows so as to minimize impact to their user base.

[wooden gulch]

ah, so the servers are just shitting themselves. Honestly, no surprised with previous phases hahaha.

[carmine hemlock]

I’m not too clued up on the inner workings bro I’m just guessing 🤣 but I’d say the last patch fixed some things while unexpectedly creating other issues? Idk can someone with more knowledge help? 🤣

[unborn thunder]

Server is going down for a patch in like 17 mins anyway so just Alt+F4 and go watch a movie homies

[pallid osprey]

a lot of times devs will push what's known to be working for a fix and then push out another update for more that theyve been working on. in alphas that can be a daily thing like how im sure earlier phases were

[dawn needle]

I'm sorry for your issues

[visual field]

This games lucky that the mmo scene so stagnant and poe leagues are doa or else theyd be alpha testing with 5 pll screeching ITS AN ALPHA all day at each other

go to bed, the game is f-ed at the moment

[full tendon]

its based on location lol

[frail prism]

work to do, gaming later.

[summer cave]

Not for OCE
NA - roughly 180-220 ping
EU - 300-400 ping

[wooden gulch]

NA is WAY less ping. Like 50% lower.

[carmine hemlock]

Haha I see how that reads now lol I’m more meaning across the entire OCE area. I can only speak from the NZ context

[lean lance]

I bet if you took those random websites and plugged them into virustotal they'd light up like a christmas tree.

[frail prism]

feels like the ping all the time though x)

[white depot]

WA to to NA is around the ~220ms area depending on where in NA the server is located

[lean lance]

Anyone in OCE try starlink and see if it's faster?

[barren valve]

wait so 1-2 years and still they cant fix the rubber bandind?

[wooden gulch]

Yeah, NZ is really unlucky with the servers. Whenever we get server maintenance, it's alway 10pm for us. No way I'm staying up just for a video game XD

Live rollouts of software are not really live. You're just distributing the patch window across the cluster and taking servers down one at a time or so to let the patch work. When it goes smooth, it's great. When it goes the way updates tend to go. It's annoying behind the scenes

lol, of course the minute I launch the game they post a 3hr downtime

[white depot]

Only way I could think of is executing a background download then doing a silent install of said rootkit.

Which even Windows Defender should be capable of stopping most days.

[young otter]

it's not the weekend or anything

[viral ether]

ArenaNet has a talk on this topic: https://www.gdcvault.com/play/1016640/Guild-Wars-2-Programming-the

[full tendon]

im on my winter semester right now, taking classes and chilling

[dense gust]

prolly should stop stealth taking log in servers doiwn 20 mins prior to patch time

[young otter]

sell fent studying doesn't make money

[outer sierra]

Theres no server message its so dark

[prisma maple]

Hopefully some good changes and fixes coming that need to be done on a Saturday. Just logged in for a 3 hour shutdown on the weekend 😐 But hopeful it's not trivial changes that could have waited until Sunday/a weekday

[weak plank]

it is

[reef kestrel]

settlement xp is getting fixed

[desert folio]

just gonna go ahead and be the one to say it....y'all are killing the evening shift employed person trying to test the game with these updates on the weekend lmaoooo

[viral ether]

Defender wouldn't be excellent at stopping a legitimate installer from executing in the context of a privileged process.
More interestingly, a 'background download' chaining into a silent install from a browser exploit would be insanity-- and probably the biggest 'security news' in 2025.

[prisma maple]

Ah, see, well. I feel better knowing it's for something decent.

[shy flame]

have the developers mentioned anything about improving optimizataion? game is honetly ... really poorly optimized. and i do get it, its alpha. but still. its pretty bad for where its at imo.,

[dense gust]

even if its not trivial. why disrespect your main customers' time.. Make these downtimes outside of primte time.

[pearl gust]

god damn I got bambozzled again, last time is the server pop now is the ping. My ping says EU is lower tho, is that accurate?

[viral ether]

Tl;DR: Gold seller websites are dumb, but they're probably stealing your credit card info, not installing crazy malware on your PC.

[reef kestrel]

i have a very mid tier pc and it runs perfect for me

[fathom barn]

its not terrible. unless you have a brick as a pc

[proper patio]

Hopefully they found the fix for town upgrades/xp

[young otter]

why even let anyone from Asia play the game?

[waxen zephyr]

hell yeah, im ready for another hour of Validating files after patching because endless EAC errors

[void jackal]

horrible time to do this

[viral ether]

Because that's weirdly isolationist?

[wooden gulch]

nah

[alpine tundra]

Where are my patch notes

[remote silo]

[limber condor]

Is maintenance done yet?

[edgy sandal]

t5 cities arent implemented yet so t4 is where we are at even if they fix the xp

[prisma maple]

I think something major or game breaking is respecting our time in the aggregate. Settlements are important and need to be fixed for the purpose of testing.

I'm happy with this

[young otter]

but they ruin every game, strategically

[onyx valley]

according to @uncut pilot Margaret said this is a low pop time

[dense gust]

nothing here that couldnt wait 2-3 hours

[alpine tundra]

Give us the patch notes now

[weak plank]

low pop lol

[remote silo]

they did say 3 hours OR LESS!

[full tendon]

that only becomes a consideration when there updating client end, most of these updates are related to their own servers, which they have jurisdiction over. This is not a concern in this situation

[fathom moon]

you could just say "according to margaret"

[torn quest]

so you're tellin me there's a chance

[frosty dune]

last time it was only 2hrs and some change

[prisma maple]

2-3 hours is prime time somewhere else though. this is global.

[languid fossil]

Time to go shower now i guess....
