Well...
First(From NA)
ruh-roh...
uhhhhhhh oh
False
Who is even going to play this game in eu?
2 guilds + 15 random pve gatherers.
Somehow having a Lotharia chat makes it a bit more real.
How dare you sir, I'm not random!
what a surprise that creating an EU chat late at night on a monday won't have a lot of EU players chatting in said chat 
Well guess the real party starts when they wake their eu butts up
And us just keep spawning
the workforce slumbers
They must really hate they gonna lose so many player
Welcome home / Добро пожаловать домой.
aintnoway ur react to yourself 
what should happed to any EU server at this point, gone.
LOTHARIA ❤️
Do you perform ?
Man it's going to be an emotional knockout when this server is hosted in New Zealand :P
Will this chat be merged with Shol also ? 
In a couple weeks
so you do perform? 😄
Sorry, what language are eu speaking?
comeudian
I don't understand, can eu be more clear?
intelligence
I see, do eu have some?
share please
US East labelled as EU West, suckers.
Time to start waging chat-pvp!
😳

Will there be new players
Oh, hey, hiayiiiiiiiii!
whos ready
use the guild chat man, no one reading that 800 word essay
Thanks, but I can't see those links.
I am on Lotharia discord, so some other server?
Its on this server
Community discussions > aoc-guild-chat
Community dicussion > eu-guild-recruitment
Any bets how long server last's this time?
Until beta, or more phases TBA. They said maybe to more phases. No one has an answer. Should get more clarity on Friday's stream
I think 1-2 months, depending on how hard the econ crashes
I knew this but meant how long playerbase gonna last until it's a ghost town again 😄
I'm quessing around same. I hope next big update is good enough to bring people back for a bit and has some pvp updates. Anyway i don't think it'll be that active until next year
oh lol 2 weeks for EU, see you all at the end of the month for merge!
I was hoping for megaserver myself and they got my hopes up for a sec 😄
What if NA dies and EU lives 
Sure and i'll learn how to fly 😄

Dodging the start of the Phase that's gonna save the game. Pathetic!
I assume numbers will dwindle quite fast maybe summoner release brings it back up again but for how long.
We will see when they start throwing more systems in to get more content. I'm pretty sure we gonna wait until next year for that to happen. Just gotta hope we still have a playerbase when it's starting to look and feel more like a game
I will welcome my EU friends to NA with open arms after your server dies in a month.
Ahh it's good to be back in our EU channel 😄 Happy to see you all! 😄
Soon 
Which guild will take the mantle of exploiters, griefers and general evildoers this time around?
We need at least one guild to volunteer to make chat interesting
did we have egirl bath water drama already? I kinda hope for something like this
its never too late for it this phase
Give it 1.5 weeks till the challenged indaviduals who cried for an EU server over a Mega Server realise their mistake
I am so old that I actually had to google that water drama thingy
The ones who cried hardest for it arent even relevant on any part of the EU stage
Its so horribly pathetic
Its tragic man...
PUNY criers all around. Some crying about server, some crying about criers, some crying about criers that cry about criers...
Bobs will be bobs
sry that i want to play with a good ping and with events starting at a time iam able to participate in 💀💀iam really really sry bro
bob is your uncle?
Lol the "ping argument" 😂
We had ppl playing from fucking dubai with fine ping. And not like you would get sieges on eu without any of the bigger guikds being around 
you guys didnt even convince your guild to go NA... soo 😂
idk i never felt i had a higher ping
No there isn't because Steven said they were going to change the server time to fit in for both 😂
Standby dont get an opinion sorry. Only Cartel MH and Asylum opinions matter sorry.
idk had some lags in phase 2.5 which I didn't have in phase 2 :/
calling them bobs is a bit of insult
atleast bobs are useful for pulling the carts
We in EU are not skilled enough to play with high ping.
All high-skill players from this part of the world will go to US server
Only us noobs will stay on EU server
How about
Identity argument > ping argument
But this identity was passed down to me as a torch
identity argument? What, we talking about math, category theory and monads now?
like everyone who wants to go to the NA server is free to do so. idk why u all are crying about it. Do you miss us that much? haha
What time UTC is the server up?
You don't have the correct ball knowledge for this convo
This is the guy we re supporting playing EU
ball is bob?
wtf did I just read
Prom thinking hes a modern day mmo aristotle
I mean, most of us are playing on PTR
and we know exactly how much it lags or not
I swear KDS are chatgpt bots
They got Falcrow
chatgpt bobs your uncles?
That's it
Rest is dendrophiles and other forms of rp
You better make me proud dramox 
I like that profile pic @outer creek
I finally get a tourney spot 
Or do I let you log in to my account
Lmao
Apprecited broski
So shush shush
Ah shit ye
I still want 2x rogues in the 8v8 comp btw.. 
Bowel movement?
But yea I cant miss out on NA action too
Rolling on both?
Would be a funny comp in this ttk tho the freeze tech will be a great trump card in a random round
isnt kds pretty much federation Eu?
the only diffrence is fed actually pulled numbers
Fed was fun because they had numbers
but the level of delusion is pretty much the same
KDS is like 30 rpers posting ai genned pics and talking of domination and knowledge gathering
Meanwhile they still looking at the login button like the aliens from toy story
imagine how fun eu would be
if the oasis alliance actually pulled the numbers they claim they have
If we had players?

how tf do u come up with these things man 
Its not easy being this autistic man
Peak timeline that tourney tbh
As much as I'm pleased EU has their server, it'd be cool to have competitive guilds like Cartel in a mega..
The universal karmaric whiplash
The mass delusion cannot be contained. It will ramp hard.
Yea a lil dose of bait in there mb
the 8v8 tourny was so funny tho
all the eu na drama leading up to it was peak
and then na just full flopped
Day 1 was peak
I was full tilt the entire first day
Lost about 1 month of my life
POLAR in the one Cartel TKOd? Still unsure why they didn't compete.
the leveling fights early on in tropics were great 
what was the spanish guys name
that got joeva
honestly highlight of the phase
Hes Brazilian
legit expected to get fucked by fepsi all over tropics
Portuguese
im too dumb for this shit 
Bastardised Portuguese ppl who are Shien factory Spanish people
fepsi were such a let down holy
we made a whole alliance just for them to have like 1 competent guild in there

it was just polar who had the balls for lawless zones
Fepai didn't last at being fepsi for long
miruku chat pvp was the highlight
Polar I think we could've had more fun with if we didn't jam every shitter eu guild into 1 alliance all we realistically needed was Cartel MH and Asylum for the most part
env exploiting and fed stuck in carphin for 6 weeks
The first week of going ape shit on every na player was truly fun
Virdana told me to go 100%
i mean adding the shitter guilds was fun in its own way for the eu pride , but yeah
WE ARE THE PRIDE OF EU HELLOPP
The big 3 turned up so good in p2.5
The best idea i ever had tbh
I'll level in EU alongside NA.. May take hella more time but methinx it'd be worth it to feel out both serves
Bro people were so confused
When we asked for holiday coins
"Where do they drop?"
AHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA
the video of x8 cartel pvping v 50 dwarfs
Then sail around on our boat pissing off every eu guild on purpose baiting them to attack us so I can feign being attacked in the alliance discord
dude i watched that shit yesterday
A master plan if there ever was one
Man AS SOON as we disband alliance
Fepsi shows in steelbloom
with a caravan
400 players
Tropics was EMPTY
And NA showed up
HOLLLLLY
Lmao I swear we had spies in the ally disc
by landslide
not even 8

ngl with how its looking right now
gearing mightve been even more of a nightmare on a mega server
but i personally wouldve rather have a mega than 2 servers 
Gearing will always be a pain until hunting is made not hunting
Jewelry and weapons arent too bad tho
Early game poi grind always a fucking drag but the mega server made it fun atleast
depends on if they make the craftin recipes bound or not
cuz right now its kinda 50-50
if they are bound , its gonna be legit a shitshow
"OH MY WEAPONSMITH ISNT ONLINE I GUESS I CANT FARM RECIPES HEHE"
but atleast now theres like actual builds and stuff to be made and not
"
220 power X
mitigation over 50% X
stack hp like a monkey X
"
Yea that's dumb
Wait until ppl find out what they did to biome specific recipes

Standard OSINT. Good on ya.
I agree, having vastly different time zones breaks up grind spot monopolies..
if someone on ur server has a complete monopoly on something u have a diffrent issue than timezones
weirdly a lot of the older recipes arn't bound, mainly the new ones that are
We did. That's true. Different issues on both servers
thats why i said its 50-50
unsure what the plan is with that, but i hope they dont plan on sticking with it
apparently one of the GMs said it was intentional. But that change being made 2 days before launch without being in the patch notes is crazy
coz lord knows if ashes needed one thing it's more mindless mob grinding
like no doubt its intentional, i just dont understand the thinking behind it
but hey i never claimed to be a smart person
i embrace the 2 braincells 
but one can only hope they dont move in the direction of "bound on equip, everything has to be grinded by the player himself" mentality that some games nowdays have
cuz it will kill the whole guild working as a team vibe that you currently have in a lot of the guilds
Yeah exactly, just kills the social aspect of the game, which is the point of MMO's
If they wanna do it for 4* Elites and up recipes I'm fine with that, doing it to the rest makes little sense
BSC tried the commie approach. It was downvoted after a while & the cohesion kinda died. Collectivism worked for the most part funnelling resources to artisans. Bound recipes would make that more difficult to implement.
yaknow what , i could probably live with recipes being bound
since theres ways around it
but i really would cry the day they made gear bind on pickup / equip
Equip maybe. But not pickup
can have ur crafter parked somewhere and 7man grind till the recipes he needs drop 
or whatever you can somehow manage
but being able to swap gear around with friends without much hassle has been such a qol thing for me atleast id hate to see it gone
It'd be nice to have the guild slots for specific builds for specific content.
Or stash personal in storage in towns nearest to content?
I could live with BoP recipes if it didn't contradict what they said they wanted to achieve with crafted gear a month ago
with alot of the things they do, they seem to be throwing darts at a wall and seeing what sticks
exactly what 2.5 felt like yeah
Most systems are placeholders, or have been. We've just been working with what's been given at that time..
which to be fair, is not a bad way to find out how things will be recived by the testers
instead of doing the "poll" angle where people dont even test the system and theorize how it would work in practice
guys, do we have the node planning sheet for EU?
they just "ah fuck it" implement it, and then when community
change it
I get that, but some changes (like how they changed crafting and processing for 2.5) I really struggle to see how they thought people would be at all okay with it
that one i imagine some intern really fucked up and added another 0 to things 
to make 1 2x4 plank you need 10 LOGS
SEEMS LOGICAL
not a public one at least, kinda hard to plan for nodes that could vassal in any direction
Alliances should be a drama creator all of it's own with vassalship. Can't wait for the backstabbing going forward
baffling quite honestly, craftings gonna be a lot of relearning for people if they skipped the last 4 months
Maybe for the better. More of a clean slate.
as if someone will bother with backstabbing
i think most alliances atleast in eu will be like
nah give me back p2 crafting, shit was simple and effective
Yeah, NA was way too reliant on maintaining alliances with smaller guilds so more status quo relationships.
but then again eu has only 2 alliances that matter at this point
but id love to be proven wrong
So smaller guilds will be forced into alliances with each other out of spite.
First against Pirates, then Fed when Pirates imploded, then whatever other ones after that. So many imploded guilds it's embarrassing.
fighting zergs is always fun imo
Agreed
other than p2.5 ttk
that was a nightmare
going full glass cannon , and only hitting for like 30% of a monkey's max hp as a crit in ideal conditions was

Overconfident messes. Just get destroyed.
Then they faction out, egos flare & the zerg eats its own ass.
- who are you?
- because its funny
this shit will live in my head rent free untill i stop playing ashes i bet
Hi EU friends 👋🏼
hey :)
Good Morning folks of EU Verra
u ready for phase 3?
yesss
For those interested Lotharia Discord will keep rolling as well: https://discord.gg/YRZnAr86qn
Hope to see you all on NA.
EU will be dead In a week don’t waste your time -> level NA
Not with that attitude

Where you gonna start guys play on EU? or US?
i go for eu server hopefully less lag 😄
correct and if the merge comes - so be it. As long as i don't loose my progress. Just want to have the chance to play on a EU server as promised
More trees for me
🪵
The saltiness of some US players with EU having own server is quite honestly weird. They already have enough for one server, what difference does it make to them if EU has one?
At least we'll get a few weeks without the RMT ya'll love 😉
RMT in a alpha 
Why can’t I log in
You will find out as soon as you read the news channel
@eternal fulcrum you can only no realms online yet
They're just stirring the pot, those guys never have anything constructive to say, trolling is all they do. Blocking them is good for sanity, can recommend 
Thats a week without that toxic NA shit 😄
well yeah that was for me the only reason for wanting the EU server, never had any ping issues, just the toxicity/discord pvp/NA propaganda lies is what I would love to avoid 🙂
Half of them can't name more than a single European country so I don't really expect informed opinions
Hello guys! Hope you are as hyped as I am 🙂
Anyone here who wants to go hardcore/push max level in the first few days and is still looking for an group?
we are 7/8 and are looking either for a tank/bard/dps
feel free to dm me too ask any questions 
See yall soon in tropics lads 
.
may the lord open
Assuming no delays 👀
There's always the possibility of a "Glorious testers, we need 6 more hours to get things ready" 😄
6 more months
A beginnerquestions are the Classcombinations in game? and its takes long to get them?
No
Basically all the holiday guilds are coming back to Lotharia?
I hope we all behave
I am in two guilds and both are completely silent about Ashes 
I have a feeling I might need a third one if I want a group 
eu server already empty
epoch server is poppin
Yep. Back to working 1 node up because that's what we have enough people for and then all can quit and come back to level up summoner for a week 😄 I really hope when they start to finish more systems we could actually have a active EU server and more pvp but we'll see. Maybe on Phase 4
im so excited
Today is my first time playing AoC any good tips for a newcomer? 🙂 me & a friend will play as duo
make sure u level ur fishing
okidoki
Lmao
In the last few weeks they seem to be stripping gearing out of the game through non-crafted means. There are a few quest outlets, but mob drops and vendors seem -almost- devoid of gearing. Probably start at the Aela Gate, do the Sweat of your Brow quest, and really try to get a handle on the crafting system.
Most importantly, Never listen to dabid
well i do play mmorpgs alot so yeah i did taste a bit of sarcasm but atleast others reply with a more serious answer ❤️ 😛
good to know so crafting is more important then before
in terms of race any suggestions ? i plan to play a bard & my friend want to play rogue
Probably. A month ago they did bump up rates on mobs quite a bit, before nerfing it to the ground. PTR testing phases have fluctuated on whether the general vendors sell gear or not.
So it's a little up in the air. Crafting will always be super important tho, so def try to get your hands in to it at the start. Even if it's just gathering and processing.
Chose what race looks good for you. They're planning on not having Racials, but instead tying abilities to backgrounds everyone can chose from.
oki makes sense, well my friend want to be rogue i said il be a class that supports you so i went with bard, or do you think there is a other class better suited to supporting my friend as a rogue
I think that's a pretty solid combo for duo'ing, but others may have more experience.
Oki well atleast thank you for taking the time to answer/ give some tips towards me 🙂
surely you mean Phase 3.75?
3.75 is another eco rework. Struggle trough that first
I can already see the patch notes: " Level 10 processing fees were lowered to 20 gold per item"
meep meep
ahh
cant wait for the delay announcement
naaaaah everything is goodness, Blessed be the holy KoKo fruit
inb4 people calling for wipes bc their names were taken
yoooo
yes its a fresh start
also NA?
Yall really rolling on server 2?
server 2? 💀 u mean EU server?
everybody start from 0 so i choose beter ping 😄
awesome!
Wrong, the server im on is always the main server
xD
Main character aura i like it
PLAY ON THIS SERVER IF YOU'RE TERRIFIED OF NA
weak bait
aren't y'all too fat to catch up to us anyway?
is that the meth addict living in your trash ?
nah, meth is soooo 2010. now it's all about fent
Most of the US is populated with people who are overweight or obese.
americans still eating washing machine pods?
That’s the smell of freedom they’re eating
freedom is high in processed saturated fats 
Hi guys. I'm a new player. I wonder when the game's phase 3 update will be completed and I'll be able to log in? Does anyone know?
technically in 47 minutes
technically....
yeah well
thx lets see
yeah, and with 0 news on the "small update", I doubt it is in 1h
i just finished downloading and compiling shaders
yea yea ı did just waiting now
first delay
as long as that one sticks its not too bad eh
#alpha-two-news message roshen my teammate
first of many delays 
yeah you compile those shaders
why you saying it like its something sexual
i don't think its coming out today :((
nah, we'll probably get it today by eu time, but it might cut reaaaal close
meep
your server wont die in 2 weeks itll die in 3 weeks congratz @keen scarab @jagged kite
this is pirates btw
yeah saw that
WHAT

We get the bob's farm coming
Biggest dodge ever
open the slaughter house
W
I better see clip farms of them from you boys
Im fucking cheering for you guys @keen scarab
ok maybe eu server wont be that bad after all

I jinxed it
pls pirate bring 3k people 
6K PLEASE

Whoever gets Pirate to ragequit wins the phase
wait... we get to bully THE pirate software???
oh boy...
Imagining coming EU to dodge NA
Too disorganized to be a threat. Fracture in days or weeks

Easy wins
@modest onyx good call coming here, we are a wholesome server 
kekw
guys, we need to get a shift system going
Don't scare them away Ado
lets see if we can make em quit faster than they quit on na 
An otter playing on the EU server??
im on disguise 

holy shit, lfg
will @elratito play p3 lotharia?
I see 🥷
Guys we will have so much fun killing piratsoftware
might drop the bard just to do that
mega server was good
I'm going bard 😄
Indeed
does piratesoftware think he is safe in eu?
he heard the propaganda of it being a pve realm 
is there any particular decision why their guild doesnt want to play on na?
i think he forgot that you are playing here, huge misstep 
XD
they probably want to play on the smaller server, which is good IMO because it balances out the pop
give us miruku back 
13mins let’s go
1h n 13min
1h 13m, we had a delay
Greatest recruiter since Saban
treat him good at least 
Supple woulda kicked him for going rogue 
The roach is coming to eu?
Hi 😄
are those supple guys actually good?
miruku going NA? who will I rely on for shittalking now?
for this phase yes
sadness
i mean no one can match miruku in that
he will be missed
His contract allows him to shit talk in both realm chats 👍
miruku being our recruiter will never be not funny to me 
If they can survive his recruitment process they deserve to join 
We got pirate software they got Miruku
both of them on the same server would be peak tho
ouch, these some slow ass download servers, eek
everyone is downloading at once, its like a mosh pit in there
yall still downloading?
2.19MB/s
na im done
Borrow some of mine
I've got an extra 998 it aint using lol
@modest onyx ur so brave for going EU
Pirate already has the first t4 node
can't wait for u to crush cartel and madhouse
wonder if steven gives him a personal flyer again
euros seething they gonna get stomped by pirates* no caps i am reformed
Bc of the recent changes polar has decided to go EU. Cya all on the other side
bout to end task this shit and restart it to see if it goes faster, 1.45MB/s piss take
doubt it will
Dude calm, we just want to test the game out and take it easy. No plans to "stomp" everyone
Same, tho I was at max speed 5 mins ago, bro's throttled me or summin'
Best way to calm the nerves is to go out fishing
yall are so lame lmao
Hell yeah we are 
I cannot believe im missing this
You guys stomp yourselves.
we will send u postcards miruku
ill actually play the game i swear man
shit is gonna be peak
just make sure you guys have enough mana
no more afk macro in guild party to get 25
(for legal reasons this is a joke)
it worked
nice
do it or no balls
only one more hour!! (plus/minus 2 weeks)
only one more hour (until the next delay)
getting on my knees and prayin
are actual pirates going to play when eu is asleep?
eu never sleeps
Bunch of them will yeah
You guys leaving EU because Sol Deus is back ? Hmm
Does Pirates still have 10k people
we have holidays and benefits.
i really fucking hope so
and a healthcare system
free
surely the famous streamer guild doesnt show up with 50 people
good
we have club mate
we all friendly on EU 🙂
finally EU gang
But if you mine my copper it's time to die :<
where u mining copper
copper gatekeeper
im stealing all of it >:3
Well, after we found out so much about their leader, I wouldn't be surprised if everyone bailed. Only ppl staying in pirates guilds are complete cucks
don't you dare
grrr
nah they are all chads
did you know he worked at blizzard
yeah but I had to do some extensive research, as he literally doesn't talk about it
dont you awaken my true self buddy...
turns into spinosaurus GRAAAAHHHHHHAHA
ts is tuff
i need my daily dose.... cant hold it much longer
Sooo @keen scarab cartel - actual pirates alliance confirmed?
yes im joining his stream rn to make the announcement

Only forty more minutes
HOU 😄
ayy its clippy
how much caffiene do we all have
enough to call an ambulance
i guess Lotharia will be EU vs Pirates
doubt
⬆️ this
we dont need to ally to fight pirates lmao
Don’t ask him about the blizzard thing ☹️
not ally but i guess every1 will go after them
They will not survive ts
you typed in the nepo baby''s chat?
I don't mind the competition so long as I don't get any death threats again
Hell yeah I did
Some people take stuff a bit too seriously
i guess sol dues will bully them off the server anyway
sol deus comeback?! 
dunno
my poor caravans...
Pussy mentality, REPRESENT!! We dont deserve him 💔
No ally, just bully competition
ITs time to establish Otter Power in the EU. 🙂
no bully 😭
5 minutes.....
bro is just alpha xD
There is nothing worse than big streamers with bigger egos.
Ruin to all who intrude upon our realm.
I heard this is the server with Actual Pirates? That true?
yes
man piratesoftware just gonna ruin the server
with his omega zerg
what can you do against it
They will lose interest soon.
kill on sight
but they are so many
I am an artisan, can I just tell someone else to kill them for me?
more kills for everyone lol, dont complain
yes, for a cost
how?!

in 5 minutes everybody be complaining about queue times kek
I was there at the launch of ArcheAge with 17 hour queues
o.O
3 minutes....
same, also classic wow and New World, some of them queues took all nights
https://discord.com/channels/256164085366915072/1299155635220512788 another delay in 2 min 😛
meep
Shol online 🤦♂️
Throw wide the gates!
wtf
where is eu D:
Someone forgot a server 
smee want meeeper
gg i trol
EU missing
its up
its here
just refresh
server up
time to compile some shaders
same
rip for you 🙁
Same
q :(
Finally all europe cheaters getting banned
Server queue ... never seen before ... that crowded?
Welcome to phase 3 day 1 server opening
You haven't even seen Alpha one en alpha two. It was much more lol
was before during launches too 😛
30k + que
last time it took days to play
I checked the queue, and saw almost 700 in queue. I'll try later, lol
30k + ? I was there, was never more than 2k that I remember:P but Maybe I was early
Because you don't have voyager role
I started at similar number but its already down to 335 ... its ticking down pretty fast
ah fair..
285 now
what queue? i got straight in
kicked 3 times now
still stuck on file operations; download was completed at 88% 😄
i started at 700 and im down to 490 in like 5 minutes tho
241
i fucked around with character creation as I thought queue would be before it and I got lucky
rip
same xD
btw down to 406 from 490 in 1.5 minutes so its really not bad
goes fast
hopefully not because it keeps kicking people when they get to single digits
hello all!
XD
NA queues are around 900 from what I see, so its really not that much of a difference
Keep getting kicked from the game 🙁
490 > 231 in 4 minutes
now 800 in the que
started 840 after crash
I'm in ... see you around 😉
oh geez now y'all are scaring me
have fun
so everone get kicket lol poor na they have so little player that server wont kick them out
position 700 in queue to log on, what happened to dynamic server meshing!
yep ... just got kicked out too
559
663
EAC 🙁
still downloading patches and file ops... no game for me in the next 2 hours I think
It never happened before ... something I should takle care about?
Game repair might fix it but apparently its on their end theres lots of people being kicked by EAC
Ashes just froze my pc
I checked last time 5 minutes before start ... there shouldn't be anythinf wrong 😅
Q 140 then kicked, now Q 800 then kicked again
it's not you, nor your system happens to a lot of people
I see in news channel, they are on it already
4th time crashed
Que goes to 0 and I crash to desktop, no error message or anything
what did steven do
same
Same here. looks .... I am at a loss of words 😄
had the message the first time not the second
Uhm ... at my screen the game looked fine
Was Ingame, messign with setting, game closed by itself, my logged backin my character was wiped...
There was a warning (I got told) about settings doing crazy stuff. Bust to not f-around with them. I only did the audio and that worked but am afraid of doing other stuff. Like DLSS, don't change anything on that end.
Easy Anti Fun x_x
gnaaaaa
Crashing every time I get into game
same and when i login i see nothing
Try clearing your game cache in the launcher options
got in, it was black and i just move the light came
It's dead clear why there's an epilepsy warning in the game now... holy hell there's fireworks everywhere, how'd that get through QA llolz
yes non stop
I just got in without a queue?
Found answer?
It would probably have been announced, just assume it does nothing for now until officially announced otherwise
Getting kicked by EAC everytime I try to move around... 😎
Code:39
got kicked.. game closed.
trying to get in but game is closing by itselft ...
close launcher, wait 1 minute, re-log
trade manager gone =?
Server crashing<
this is literally the worst start I've ever seen)
Seems like they weren't quite ready
then you haven't seen wow lich king retail launch (not alpha)
or Diablo
It's alpha, you're testing stuff
second time i do all the que to 1 and then the game closes itself QQ
Having the same prob
bra nahhh phase 2 was wayyy worse
for me - no (played a lot at the start of phase 2, but didn't play at phase 2.5)
at the start of lich there were a lot of bugs because of server meshing?) doubtful
I'm responding to "start" in the original message, not server meshing. 😄
shouldt you all go to sleep
who took my name 😡
yeah eu west server is in ohio
WTF?
its always been ohio
Why though? That's insane..?
Surely they want to minimise latency for players? If you have an EU realm surely you deploy it in an EU region in whatever cloud provider you use 🤔
idk but they rent the microsoft servers i think
Nah, pretty sure they confirmed they run Kubernetes for sever workers and I doubt anyone would be stupid enough to run Windows Kubernetes nodes.
I mean it's technically possible but I don't want to believe they are doing it..
oh its amazon now
Or maybe you mean Azure and not Windows server - but Azure has European DCs so that wouldn't change where they deploy
microsoft was used a stressed test forever ago
So they should deploy in eu-west-1 or eu-west-2 on AWS, not us-east-2 🤔
Where are you based btw?
Maybe they have proxy servers deployed in US east but that is equally dumb as deploying the EU game servers in US 🤔
My best guess would be that they wanted to deploy a single set of infrastructure to save costs (part of the reason for a mega realm - because most server workers are underutilized for their lifecycle) and after the backlash they just deployed both US and EU realms into the same us-east-2 AWS EKS cluster.
@regal pond @pallid elk @worn zinc - Can you comment on why it looks like the EU "realm" is deployed in us-east-2 please?
i thought there was a post months ago about when lotharia comes back itll be hosted in us east
It's possible these TCP connections are used to communicate with shared game services and the actual game server packets are over UDP?
Interesting
I do have two UDP connections held open by the AoC client
Maybe someone with wireshark installed could test further 👀
Sorry - they were UDP listening ports, misread
Not used to looking into this stuff on Windows
Interesting that most of the traffic sent is going to an eu-north-1 EC2 instance though
Can you confirm if it it's the same for you?
Think I'm considering my pitchfork lowered at this point 😂
because its cheap, but lets hear the spin
so im playing on "EU" but IP Location says for the Launcher Columbus and for the gameserver Ashburn in Virgina i dont know
Maybe an employee from Intrepid could comment on this. That might be appropriate.
Honestly I wouldn't mind them being honest and saying they're doing it because of costs or whatever
But this kinda feels like being lied to and scammed
(if the server is actually just an US server with an EU sticker on it)
This question has come up before I believe. I think the official answer is that they (Intrepid) do not have the infrastructure or resources available to host a server geo-located in EU. At least not for the Alpha, anyway. They said that they do plan to have proper region-available servers at release, but for now, it's just a separate server for EU folks to enjoy that happens to be based in the US.
It sucks for EU folks with high ping, but in the Alpha, there's not much that can be done for now
Server infrastructure costs a good deal, so I don't know how eager they are to implement region-based servers at this point in the development of the game
I fully understand the cost aspect of a server, especially when it’s located in the EU. However, that simply has nothing to do with honesty and transparency when it’s then claimed that there is an EU server. Unfortunately, I am not aware of any statement from Intrepid and haven’t come across anything in that regard. If there is an official statement on this, it would be great if you could link it here or send it to me.
I don't know as there's any sort of official statement, but I think there was a interview stream where it got brought up ages ago.
I think it was when there was still several servers, not just Shol and Lotharia
so start phase 1 with a bunch of servers?
i think 4 US Servers and 3 EU Servers
i mean 7 US Servers xD
It would be nice to have more realms, but I think the number of players so far probably hasn't warranted it. My guess is that they're focusing on their dynamic server worker system and making that as stable and reliable as possible before opening more realms.
I can't wait until release. Looking forward to lots more players
Networking in AWS is fun.
You can really toy with iti.
if they're running the game servers from aws, tbh, the EU costs are little to no different to the US ones - and they'd get more realistic data from the EU players.
Aww man, they changed the keybind for mounts. Now I G my horse instead of F
I wouldn't want to see that AWS billing anyway. 😄
But in my experience US pricing for many services costs more. Not surue about EKS tho.
F LOTHARIA SHOL REP
Me and my friend looking for active friendly people to play with then PM me if you want level up together 🙂
Sorry to ping you, is there any chance that we're going to get some clarification on the server and ip things?
What do you want clarification on?
#alpha-two-lotharia-eu message
stuff like this 👆
There's been plenty of talk about it in this channel as well as the global chat on Lotharia ingame
Ah, that! I can't really talk about that for security purposes.
BUT I can say Lotharia is for sure on EU West if you're having concerns about that at all. 😉
aight! thank you for taking the time to answer! 😄
NP! 🙂
I assume that the mobs don’t drop gear is a part of testing the Extrems what happens and so but it feels so so so wrong killing mobs and getting nothing from it
lol everthing you want to do its useless when all node its lvl 0
Are there any Dutch alliances formed yet? (As in, is there a Dutch-speaking guild? I’d love to join!)
I havent heard of any. Also from what I have seen, there are far to few dutchies atm to actually form a solid guild.
Atleast I havent met more then maybe 15🤷🏼♂️🥲
Ah, well too bad… then I’ll go look for another guild that isn’t Dutch
I’d suggest that yeah. As you be stuck solo for long time if dutch guilds is hard request💪🏻
Plenty of English speaking guilds tho so free range of choice haha
You would think as we have an EU server again, maintenance to apply updates would not be at EU Prime Time.
yea thought the same 😂😂
Agreed. I mean if they want us to TEST their game then how about we get to play when we have time, evening hours EU is when there are the most people online obviously...
login issue?
yes
awesome start... 🤣
same
Oh i was ingame and got DC´d
Web server crash cant login to launcher
login servers are back
sure? still loading and loading and loading 😄
lucky you 😄
does anyone having log in issues? I am tryin to log in whenever I press play button black screen and game close
Hey guys. Will the game have a downtime today?
anyone know where you get the Mayoral Guild Seal when theres no nodes set up yet seeing guilds in game
Bonfire has a vendor that sells em for 99s
cheers
Ich mag das neue Crafting garnicht es fühlt sich nun so an als würde man bestraft man muss mittel farmen zum Craften man muss die Materialien farmen und dann muss man noch basis materialien kaufen 30bronze taler pro material
sollte man diese Basis Materialien später selber craften können finde ich das umso ärgerlicher da man bis dahin so unfassbar viel Gold in diese Basis Materialien stecken muss zwecks aufwerten des Job's
Der Loop ist nun Gold farmen um überhaupt Farmen zu können gefühlt die gebühr ist ok man nutzt ja auch die Station sozusagen aber die Basis materialien mechanik mag ich null
Ich mag es wenn der Fortschritt länger dauert aber das ist mir dann zu Heftig das muss ich ehrlicherweise so sagen
I thought mayoral seal was to make scroll that needed to be given to Guild Manager npc, are you saying you just need scroll now?
i had no kick this day
thank you roshen

proc'd queue now
@shrewd sapphire @worn zinc its fun to sit in que to wait when i was playing get thrown out..
and que is not moving
why is the queue not moving ? ^^
it still should move
how can u get blue or purple weapons early i saw yesterday ppl posting those crafted weapons how can i get them or how can i craft higher weapons and not the grey ones outsite of lionhold for example? Only found the spot where i can craft the basic 2h Sword in gray
daaamn you Lionhold
yes problem at lionhold , crashed at the south of lionhold and now already 30 minutes in the queue for only 20 places...
are there any guides for the crafting or tips how to get better weapons? i saw ppl crafting blue and purple weapons already with lvl 5-7 how can u do that?
Hows the game for eu
your crafting material has to be that colour
guys... travel to lionhold so u get kicked out... Queue is to long^^
I had no q when I joined when I was outside of lionhold
Well finnaly got home from work to play casue yday night ws crazy with EAC bug, now i play for 5 mins and get kicked and somekind of bug again but yea no problem, then i check out news and i see that at prime time for EU we get a 4 hour maint... so yea
But when i try to craft the sword outsite of lionhold it needs cooper fragments and when i use blue copper i get only basic fragments?
We are currently investigating a problem on EU Lotharia with the South Lionhold area
Same for Na
or do i have to use 14 Blue Copper?
more means higher chance for blue
Okay so i have to get 14 Blue copper and craft the fragments out of the blue ones and when im lucky i get blue fragments?
if all are blue you gave a 100% chance as far as i know
okay and then i can use the blue fragments to craft the weapon and then it will be blue? and not gray?
thats what i learned so far
was confused yesterday a bit because i used 10 Green copper and 4 normal and only got 14 gray fragments after the smelting
the other ingredients need to be the correct rarity too
so if the weapon mold is not blue there is a good chance it will come out lower
Code 37. How to fix that?
okay will check it out
because i only saw that i have to get copper and ash wood for the weapon
use ashes codex
you will see your chances
okay thx
Affected areas that we are currently investigating (excuse my paint skills)
but is it already updated with the new crafting?
can you somehow reboot it?
top notch
not 100 % sure of that
yes
says it on the homepage 
ok
We have finalized our data collection and will be bouncing the server worker momentarily, tanks for your patience!
been stuck in queue position 180 north side lionshold for the past 10-15 minutes :)
My que position did not moved for long, anyone else also see que not moving?
yep, same thing
once the reboot is completed I think we need to just requeue to get back in
probably
but I dont think it does anything before the reboot has been done
now it works
rejoin
If you are still stuck in the queue for Lotharia, please leave the queue and rejoin it. You should get right back in.
works, ty!
whoever decided o n the main menu music, youve got a hella good taste in OSTs
I am sure in phase 2 you could find a shortbow in the starting area. Have I missed it as I can't find one now in phase 3?
how did I get pvp marked in an event .. can someone else trick me by turning on pvp if I dont watch ae?
there is now dynamic events where you are force flagged
probably one of those
I was suddenly flagged in the middle of it
aoe doesn't flag you, you have to flag intentionally for aoe to hurt another player, but there are events where an area will become PvP enabled for a time, or if you loot another player you flag
double check the pvp settings
the huntable shouldnt move
hmm the hawks do .. ok will write a bug
cue malding EU players
they are already max mald, its terrible out there
