It's already 34 aaaaaaaa
maybe the server is the friends we made along the way
I also missed this guy's wife's anniversary!
I am hearing that delays of up to two hours are typical of Defcon server events. One civ event had a 3.5 hour delay
@wide coral Can we please get an update on delay expectations?
i divorce to be there
gotta refill my waterbottle
i missed my wife giving birth to my firstborn son for this
π§π·
NOOO

i too am here
i too missed your wife giving birth for this event
I'm over 50, hope I get on before I die

no, we should instead start ripping each other apart, the blood sports will satisfy the server and it shall open
34 minutes ago
everyone heed the word of the idior
i missed the vintage story server stress test to be here
34 minutes ago lol
I am supposed to meet my sister for the first time ever today, hope she gets here late

Mission accomplished, kill tyron by crashing the server beforehand and not let him join
The one thing that killed Tyron: time π

It's gopher
Ain't that poetic
this is trurly the best way that the first tyron hunt could have went
RIP
I don't feel like such a procrastinator anymore
Maybe the real stress test were the friends we made along the way

technical difficulties, the enemy of all deadlines
Too much fun in the discord channel killed Tyron, too many memes

It's sunrise/sunset automatic so I don't strain my eyes.
impromptu civ server.
Light in the day, dark in the night.

fun memeing w/ yall
Welp, minecraft it is...
boy this fun free event isn't going super smooth..... Hey we should all get absurdly mad! :D
Next time we should bet on polymarket
Honestly. The only one deserving of the God-Slayer Title is the Vintage Server.
eepy story
His own creation... turned against him...
Today we are still launching but it will be a test day, we encourage as many of you to join today to help us test it out and ensure tomorrow is a success. I will post here when it officially starts today. We are ready in another 60+ mins.
Sorry it has been a lot to setup how many servers we have to. We are using 4 PCs and 10+ servers to try and run this event. Over 1500 players have attempted to join so far
Feel like the server is going to turn into a 500 player death match now with this rage
Iβll still join today but itβs a shame I wonβt be able to hunt down Tyron tomorrow
1500 rooky numbers, we need MORE
trying to get into tops rn
we shouldnt have mentioned the beenades...........
so, no Tyron hunting today?
Good luck to anyone who can join the event though
SMH how dare the massive technical work that these people have done for free not go perfectly smooth on their first big test specifically made to find issues SMH my head my head
That is indeed a little more than 500 lol
The test gave data. VICTORY!
short on time? Battle royal!
At least you're preparing for the burning of the world lol
Sadly not
Tyron was hunted down by Time.
Yes we have lobby servers setup for overflow that will have 1000+ player slots
1500 players simulate civilization on Vintage Story
Who shall we choose as sacrifice
so... no manhunt?
Only the Spiffing Brit could pull that off.
...in 2 hours
i do hope enough ppl join, i for one will have to sleep
No βI killed the lead creator of Vintage Storyβ video π
Delayed by one day, we can never recover
YES
I just woke up.
At the very least I can say I killed Elvas in the moose stream
It's Saturday but maybe I should work.
Tomorrow it's just a test - no hunt.
The dream.
Irrefutably over
not today
Vintage Story MMO when?
i want to go to bed to be honest
go back to sleep
YESS
So i updated my game for the manhunt for nothing then...
thats rude
The sin of using discord lightmode
dont do that
is Warhorse building their MMO on VintageStory? xD
Oh boy! I can't wait to buy the battlepass!
It's the tomato thread all over again. 
mine 400 bauxite blocks to advance!
Fr lol! We do have plans of doing 1000-2000 player events thatβs why weβre doing this test π
im sorry for lying before i feel rly bad now

You've worked too many iron blooms today! Watch an ad to be able to work 2 more iron blooms!
Today will be test, tomorrow will be the hunt
I will kill anyone that build an straight road cutting through the map btw, hate it when I saw it on the multi-player servers
same time?
oh my gosh so true bestie
Roughly maybe an hour earlier for Tyron
ok perfect ty for letting us know!
another defcon classic
Little do we know the reward was going to be 1 wish to add something to the game
omg
It's medieval America role play 
yes
Hey, that's 10am for me so that'd be awesome lol
Better late than never! π
gg
Today will be a hunt Phoenix haha for the test in preparing a quality experience tomorrow for Tyron
well, not really
thats basically how romans built their roads, as straight as possible, cutting through forests, hills, villages
Meatβs back on the menu boys!!
hour earlier would be good
for all europeans
she will forgive me, by not Tyron...
phoenix is our scapegoat
Murdering Tyron in β¨styleβ¨
Mmmmmm..... milm
Ok but what if you killed the drifters and they'd drop stuff you could boil and eventually drink?
Quite the tragedy yes
blood for the blood gods
We were all looking forward for it
I like to think when the server starts up today we all choose peace and love <3
we hold only hate in our hearts
yes yes the tailor coalition of love peace and love and peace and love and peace
On Falx when this server starts I am sliming out the FIRST person I see
But anyone after that I will treat with love and care
Dictatorship time
We can melt your hate with fish!
and the better coalition of kill the tailor coalition
aw it immediately worked !
rude
I volunteer for red mist
I shouldn't drink a Monster but now I want Monster.
Over 1500 people have attempted to join the server so far lol
To shreds you say?
Did somebody say Red Mist
imsosorry
could someone ping me when it starts? Ima go back to playing stardew :3
you cant just be rude and then say "im so sorry" and expect me to not remember
We can still defend peace.
the tree remembers
oh my gosh i actually think that stardew is sooooo stresful
like, the time management absolutely kills me
close I typed 'red mist' not 'Red Mist'
I MISSED THE RED MIST?
"you will learn my peaceful way... by force."
I hate this gif why doesnβt she ave anything else in her fridge
other fridge
like what?
Chillssssss
time to willie my knight auegh
Exactly! :3
by Jove youβre a genius
Cause all a gamer needs to survive
Celsius drinks
I prefer bing
mango loco monster
She has a second fridge, of course
We will also be posting announcements here as well about the server and about tomorrow!
You should pin the first message so everyone can find it easier
The best was Australian Lemonade.
Am i alone want to protect Tyron?
any chance you could pin top message?
or whatever the next announcement message is?
I also have Viking Berry and the Strawberry Lemonade one that's limited time.
I miss my Aussie Lemonade, though.
mmmmm Strawberry lemonade
Simply allow me to ruin my health in peace, Monster.
tried L&P? NZ lemonade? the L&P chocolate is also rly yum
Server is open!
Kill
Think people this means we get more time to plan
If the server does launch later, we can practice mapless teamwork
o shit
Oh
connection refused
Same
Keep trying see if it works
im in
Missing mods π€¨
I have zero idea what that means.
What thing do you have on here lol
defcon games server?
:<
Stuck on connecting :<
Oh it's redirectfix lol
joooooooo
Data Received
I took the fall
Im in!
Loading
Oh no, I failed you.
@mint cargo you
is it Defcon Games?
its open
Come back from stardew lol
Ah, I am in
The one in the server listing gives me βconnection refusedβ but joining the listed IP in the thread description just says βconnecting to multiplayer serverβ ig Iβll just wait for that one
aw you beat me to it
Hehehe
The one in tyron's message got me in
restarted the game and now i can load in
wait it's up?
which?
vs.defcongames.net should be
doesnt work for me
Though I'm still stuck on connecting
Iβm in
pig ded by hand
its doing the same thing it has been doing for the last hour
Oh boy Tyron shoud be scared
where is the server located?
Tyron always finding new ways to punish us
In my case its taking ages probably since I'm in EU, but slowly but surely it will connect
Depends on what you get too, I'm here on "Connecting to multiplayer server"
did you just sit on the "connecting to multiplayer server" for a while?
I'm NA and it's sitting on connect. not immediatly refused though.
Yeah i just downloaded mods and trying to join
ghost steps
Oh hey it's saying I need to download 1 mod
problem... what is the mod? when I press download mods, my game crashes...
It updated
Me tooooo
is there a connection queue or something?
Try to find the server again
uhhh, red something, not sure it's automatically downloading it for me rn. Try restarting your game if you haven't already
Temu Tyron
My son's managed to join
I'm in!!!
oh, huh, that's a first
oh no
The real test was the vanilla infrastructure we melted along the way.
The uhhhh one in news
hell yeah
anyone in aus joined?
Anyone else got disconnect just now?
i'm in nearly
just the tip?
im going back to bed bc im passin out at my desk at this rate
ah
...
now I know why it crashed...
asked grok
apparently had to clean the mods file...
now it shoud work?
still trying to connect, should i cancel and rejoin or wait?
well I guess we know where the fail threshold is
still Connecting to multiplayer server...
IP is still vs.defcongames.net, right?
afaik
bite by bite... i will get there
Oh great i am upp
can i somehow restart my character? I accidentaly pressed ESC with my sausage finger...
Mine isn't doing anything so far.
@wide coral wyd now
how is it not even connecting?
Anything yet?
Server's haunted
Yea you threw one to me in a cave
<3
he got the armor
We got him bad
Man no coords is gonna suck
no "gonna" it s**** and itΒ΄s boring.. No goal for players no coordinates.. No good
yeah i do think most players are gonna spawn in the wrong side of the map then walk the wrong way and never find the fight
it was fun giving everyone flower crowns and seeing how people react
i now however do not trust bald blackguards
And if there will be Tyron itΒ΄s almost zero chance to find him... I was streaming but get bored after few minutes
splendid
GALLOP ON, ROCINANTE, TILL WE REACH THE BORDER
I could not save him fast enough.
the fire idea is not very good
This should be killing the server right now but itβs buttery smooth!
@pliant schooner You left right as I was giving you an admin blade. 
damn fr?
can I get it if I rejoin?
-# Honestly, I might just resort to finding new copper deposits after getting a pickaxe rather than trying to keep track of em. Still gonna mark them, though
I can't believe I managed to punch a polar bear to death lol
hellyeah
The hell happened ere
experimental architecture
βDefcon Games: the biggest anarchy server in Vintage Storyβ aah screenshot.
βDefcon Games: the biggest anarchy server in Vintage Storyβ aah screenshot.
@frail stag if I said pretty please could I get another one
someone teleported me onto a tree and then I lagged out and fell into lava
oh it's online now?
yes
tyron isn't on and it's just 10 people with an admin friend who spawns steel falxes in for them and killing everyone at spawn
amazing
one mod missing huh
oh nvm
a little more than 10 tbh
apparently i got kicked for breaking something i wasnt supposed to...
Yeah its kinda ass. I was having fun until the murder hobos came and erased my progress time and time again
Then again, its also for me for being very directionally challenged and not being able to find my bases after without a map lol
Well I joined, was scouting the mess abit, found some food and then was murdered by a guy with a goat skull mask.
10/10 would again
Is the plan to try again tomorrow?
Yes
why were people so mean :(
Hopefully with a common enemy there will be less infighting
Anyone else not able to get on at all? Have been trying to at vs.defcongames.net and I can only get the "Connecting to multiplayer server..." window π
i had to let it sit on that for 30 min
Ah, I had to go through the public server list
but when i did get on it ran fine
didnt work for me :<
As in you couldn't find it there, or that the issue continued even doing that?
would just fail instantly every time
Odd, hopefully that fixes itself by tomorrow then

ok I found the IP and was able to get in!
I love that there's at least one person just playing the game normally despite nights turning to day and chat screaming about a million horrifying things happening, lmao.
Gotta get the practice in for god hunting
i mean i already have my tactic
just start making industrial amounts of flower crowns and giving them to people
"friend" mark
I think the event will need some rule about it or it will be very unpleasant experience
I tried to be one of these people until I was murdered by a Goat skull person and lost my stuff :(
why is the forest angry
if i kill you tomorrow its not personal, i just want your stuff
It gets a little silly on the server test
Awww, I'm sorry, that's frustrating!
I also messed up my character customization and class, so now I'm stuck on default and some random character lmao
oh wow, finally clay...
Same here :(
I had I think 2 rocks
Are you the great spawn dirt hut builder?
I was working on the great boofortress but
alas
I got ripped to pieces and stopped trying
i have build the hut at the end of the sacred cabbage path
NOOOOOOOO I COMPLETELY FORGOT THE EVENT NOOOOOOOO
π
too bad tomorrow is at an awful time for me
6am sunday was bad but 6am monday is not doable
I think perhaps the spawn radius needs to be increased if there are gonna be 500 people.
32 max spawn radius
tyron can have 10 seconds head start
It should be a good bit bigger tomorrow yea, unless the settings get mucked up
mm, I love my air stew
With no in game voice chat, makes it very hard to coordinate with others π
You can see so many instances where several players are spawning in a 300x300 square.
Oh, huh, yea. That is much closer than I thought it'd be
I made it so each big square is 8x8 chunks, thus the little squares inside are 2x2 chunks.
Shit, think you could get an approximation of your location by checking which directions have nametags? If you're closer to the outer edge, of course
And people will be dying and coming back, this is just what it looks like if you only had slightly more than 500 spawns.
Obviously those near the edges of the circle will push out past it.
not even a local text chat
it will be hard
But if everyone died and repawned around 9 or 10 times I bet you'd get just about every bit of that spawn area covered by someone showing up there.
honestly i think this is fine, or even too big
most people are gonna pick wrong direction to walk in and never find tyron
Yeah but Tyron has steel armor, right?
I think it's kinda boring if everyone is so close that instead of it being like people are trying to build up enough to go kill him it's just "here are the 50 people close enough to go punch him right now".
Then as they die and respawn half of them show up nearby anyway.
the idea is for him to start with the best stuff, yes
I dunno what the render distance on the server is, but I know I play on 12 chunk render distance normally.
even if someone spawns 300 blocks away, they could walk the wrong way, not everyone is gonna beeline him
If you can see even just 4 chunks away that would mean someone in the middle of one of those squares is immediately visible to everyone within the square.
For the premise of "track down Tyron" it might be fine, but for general survival it's just too close, lmao.
whether or not tyron has healing items is a factor too
Spawn radius was a square until 1.22, actually.
I would imagine he would, as part of supplies. Even if he doesn't, how long would it take for him to make some basic cattail ones?
personally i'd bet the majority of players will never find him and it'll be 2 hours of wandering around aimlessly lol
If this were on 1.22.1 there was a bug where it wasn't using the formula that makes sure there's equal distribution chance so you were much more likely to appear near the center, as well, haha.
How does it look with the higher end of the radius? I would check, but I have no clue how to get desmos to do random distribution
I mean, there are going to be people banding together and making roads and all kinds of stuff.
As in, the largest you can select on the customization screen?
no way to know which way to head though, chances of picking the right direction are slim
even assuming tyron spawns in the center, players have no way of knowing which way the center is
7500, since it was the upper end of the range given in the original statement at the top
and no coords or map too
and poor communication
"Guys, Tyron is near the blue flower field next to the sandstone montains"
if i were able to join i'd probably just die repeatedly until i see signs of tyron lol, no point wandering the wilderness
stalking gameplay, lol
It's the same random dots and the same grid but the numbers are different, just because that's how Desmos is working.
Each big square is 12x12 chunks, each little is 3x3 chunks.
Someone in the middle of a big square would need the view distance to be 6 chunks for everyone else in that square to see them.
It would indeed likely mean that many players never see Tyron.
the average player experience is probably gonna be to spawn in, wander for 2 hours in the wrong direction, run out of time and leave
You know what, that's fair. I don't know what I expected
Hold on, lemme do a thing.
Okay so this is 2500, where you can see individual chunks inside groups of 16 chunks, 4x4.
What's movement speed?
In Vintage Story, base walking speed is approximately 204 blocks per minute and sprinting is about 408 blocks per minute.
Clockmaker and Hunter are event faster than this.
If you sprint in a straight line you could go from one side of spawn to the other in approximately 12 and a half minutes.
is there world border? if not, players could easily walk the wrong way outside the circle
They could do a world border.
["8 mil blocks", "4 mil blocks", "2 mil blocks", "1 mil blocks", "600k blocks", "512k blocks", "384k blocks", "256k blocks", "102k blocks", "51k blocks", "25k blocks", "10k blocks", "5120 blocks", "1024 blocks", "512 blocks", "384 blocks", "256 blocks", "128 blocks", "64 blocks", "32 blocks"]
Those are the options, default is 1 million.
it'd be more of a hunt if the search space is limited, and you wouldn't be screwed over if you spawn at the edge like you would be without a border
It does make resources possibly harder.
Also, do you make it so players can fall off the edge or not? π
why not haha, sounds fun
So what are your thoughts on spawn radius and world size, then?
imo having a border is just better, it should probably match the spawn radius or be not too much bigger
it'd be no fun to spawn at the edge and walk outside the area with no knowledge and spend 2 hours miles away from the action
In that case you'd probably want the world to be either 10k or 5120 blocks and the spawn radius to be either 5k or 2.5k so it matches up.
wonder if the serverconfig allows more fine tuning over the values than the presets do
There are ways to be tricky with it, yes.
Knife, a few stones, some food, and even a temporal gear, somehow.
oh well, was to be expected
Thatβs just block protection
Domain is new so it maybe didnβt propagate fully yet sorry about that
Itβll be very hard to moderate that with 500 players lol. We do have about 30 moderators but that is still quite a tall order. If we could maybe make it to there there are teams and everyone is auto put on a team with friendly fire turned off
Keep inventory will be on
This time around it wasnβt at the correct radius, settings werenβt really correct this time around
Bah, it probably only helped with performance testing
-# cough cough firespread
Yeah π
Normally firespread would kill the server lol. So glad it still performed VERY well even with big forest fires lol
Oh, I'm pretty aware.
The load on the server at 120 players was equal to about a 15 player server if not smaller
5-9ms avg tick time and only 3-5gb ram usage
In fairness it's very rarely the players that are the issues. TOPS started at like 130 at first and then had to be reduced as more and more animals and stuff spawned.
True but stratum helps with entities as well as entities are the biggest impact
Fair enough.
We plan to make some PRs for entities as well if able and work on them more soon
There was a lot of people on killing Phoenix, and the server ran great for me. The responsiveness was instant, no lag, and I have crappy wifi.
Thatβs lovely to hear! Stratum isnβt necessarily meant for client side but it does help it and can even be used to run singleplayer to improve that. But we are actually going to help client side with it and now are also working on a optimized clientside too π
ooh a client optimization mod would be welcome. I've tried optitime but it really offers no noticeable performance boost.
Not a mod, but the client itself π
Basically like lunar from MC
ahhhh I see
So when is this server happening tomorrow? (Technically today)
1pm this time
US eastern
To be a little earlier for Tyron
Ok perfect thanks.
No problem
server off?
Yes it doesnβt run 24/7
Because itβs an event server. Our other servers run 24/7 though
This is the server load with all 120 players at spawn, even spawned in 1000 mobs, did tens of thousands of blocks of worldedit, set off 500+ bombs and it ran buttery smooth like it was butter on a lobster. And fire spread was on when it wasnβt supposed to be
The dream cometh. π₯Ή
Soooo, 1000 vintage story players simulate civilisation when?
π we have a 1200+ player event planned for august-September
It will be LOTR fantasy races themed. Each main set of races for a total of 4, get their own 5kx5k island
very exciting tech, maybe those civilization youtubers will try out VintageStory now
either way big win for large servers
Possibly, I have been doing them myself and videos on them for VS for several months now too π should check out our ice age video on VS haha
100 players was our small one weβve done a few that were 300+ players
very cool i'll have to check it out!
I'm sure this has been answered but I'm guessing most mods have a big impact?
or is that for future testing
Depends on the mod so itβs a mod by mod basis. Some mods are very lightweight, some are a very big impact
Depends whether itβs a server side, client side, both, code mod, content mod, both code and content. Whether itβs just json, does entities like mobs, adds in modded blocks, modded items or armor, changes code of the game or server
yeah, fair there's a lot of variablility
Good rule of thumb is to have the mod count as low as you possibly can. For bigger servers if 40% or more of the players arenβt using that mod, toss it if itβs medium or more impact
Even if a mod is lightweight impact, it still impacts the speed that someone can load into the server. With mods causing tons of crashes due mods having bad compatibility. It makes players take longer and longer to get back into the server
Though our most recent 300+ at once player event we did have 100+ mods and it still ran well. But thatβs because we made sure it would
Do you have a mod list I could check out to see on your discord server?
With Stratum we have made 30+ mods part of the server itself. So thatβs 30+ mods we no longer need to download and that clients no longer have to download over a dozen of them
Yes from our previous events
#news the event will officially be starting at <t:1782666000:F> with 0 delays as we have fixed the issues that prevented us from starting it on time Saturday. It will be a little earlier so Tyron is able to be there at the event longer
how come there hasn't been another news announcement? a lot of people will miss it surely?
tru, there should be one
Iβm sure Tyron hasnβt gotten fully on yet
next week
In august-September we do have a 1200+ players at once civilization event planned. LOTR fantasy races themed. 4 islands at 5kx5k, orcs, humans, elves and dwarves each get their own island
LOTR themed armor, weapons and islands after those races.
We do have plans for a 2000 player at once Civilization event after that as well π
you guys plan it to be with perma death?
In all of our events all player builds are turned into player ruins where they procedurally generate around the world to be looted, explored and rebuilt. Which allows player lore to continually evolve over generations of history. Accumulating through each event into eventually thousands of ruins of player ruins.
All of our civilization events have permadeath. But that only starts after grace period ends within 1-3 days. Grace period allowing you 8-24 hours of time to properly prepare for permadeath.
We also do other 100-1000+ player events for challenges or siege events. Like 200 player attackers Vs 200 player defenders defending a 17th century fort or 13th-15th century castles.
Only about 1 more hour!
yippeeee!!! my sleep schedule is now only mildly scuffed!
mines been completely horrible these last 5 days lol, ive spent dozens of hours getting all this event stuff ready π
i can only imagine!
Hey, can we get the ip to be prepared?
IP is already posted quite a few places but its vs.defcongames.net π
sorry couldnt find it, thank you
please tell me, what stuff you are working on those 5 days (exept maybe software where server is running)?
yea please give this guy a detailed progress report so he can share with the stakeholders
I really hope that there won't be bullies this time around. π€
.
yes same ip
if you search up defcon in the ingame server browser, it'll show up there
otherwise, vs.defcongames.net
phoenix, you should probably put the IP up here and pin this message? if you're at all able to
is it this one? it doesnt look right
that's the right one
im not able to pin
only 500? and modded?
unfortunate, but at least on PC there's a button that takes you to the top of a thread
there's overflow servers
well we have 4 pcs and almost 20 servers running this event now to achieve trying to have almost 3000 player slots of capacity, custom server software and custom proxy server software
vs.defcongames.net 30 more mins and we are live!
the ip is different to yesterday as well, is that normal?
is it? i dont notice a difference
yeah, save to favourites then edit and u can see it
its a different ip
yesterdays was 206.217.136.168:42420
that one is 162.235.72.190:42420
will vs.defcongames.net still work instead?
im talking abt the public listing
when u save one from search to favourites
the verbose IP changing is likely inconsequential
i just favorited the vs.defcongames.net IP
okay, only worried because defcon runs other servers
afaik
but ty, ill just use vs.defcongames.net
It should just be dns vs raw ip
raw ip is superior in case dns fails or is overwhelmed
horse a piece
4PCs and 20 servers are running this one event? Why? Do you know how much people daily playing on public SM?
So is the plan still to swarm and stone the man?
2000 people tried to join yesterday
spears and torches
fire debuff would go hard
but I could prob get bronze in an hour-hour half depending on luck
im personally worried that there will not be as many, just based on activity in this chat. it's 5min after the initially advertised time and it is a lot more quiet than yesterday
yeah the delay prob killed a good bit of hype
there wasn't any forewarning
I just HAPPENED to check
which works for me. I couldn't attend the previous one.
plus we didnt get much of an announcement for today
sure it said 0 delays... now its 30mins more... 5/5 advertising the server company
only people who happened to check this chat wouldve known before the announcement 15min ago
this is all most people would see
I am not talking about how much want to join to this event yeasterday. Question was about something else. So when 2k trying to join, why there was just above 100 online..
cause people gave up after tyron delayed to next day
so why server not serving?
another delay
dig until the ground collapse and kill Tyron
30 min
#news
I mean, the delay today wasnt my fault, Tyron wasnt home yet and the event is about him and hes the one that said to delay it
says much about planning...
Because of delay yesterday and Tyron had to go to sleep and didnt join yesterday so we moved it to today
I cant exactly plan the owner of the games actions lol
is all you wanna do complain?
these aint triple A companies
ok, but yesterday?
technical difficulties can often be unpredictable, especially with very new server software
i understand that :> and its just a game, dont take it to heart. i just dont think there will be nearly as many people
Yes thats what happened yesterday
it's why they're doing the tests, to iron out the kinks and prepare it for wider use
i could complain, VS is turning to minecraft on delays, false promises, broken patches... multiple things over and over, bugs that are reintroduced because devs dont use the current version when updating... multiple things that a basic plan could fix
Understandable should still be a couple hundred thankfully
that is one hell of a reach
i hope so!! im excited
you paid for a game key. you can play singleplayer or other server whenever you want.
you're not paying to join the defcon server
It was a ton of fun yesterday and gonna be a ton of fun today π
this guy seems like a kid to me
this game is still in early access, and the Stratum software is new and third-party
it is by no means a finished game
^^^ I have spent over $8000 to make defcon servers possible with no donations
how so?
look, no offense, but you don't seem to, or even want to, fully and properly comprehend the situation and underlying difficulties behind setting something like this up
the biggest benefit of VS over minecraft is that VS is independent, not controlled by a corporation
if that means more bugs so be it
servers with player counts this large is bordering on MMO territory, and this doesn't have the backing of a large company behind it
nobody pushes you there.. Btw this is picture about how much people play on public servers.. So why we need server for 3000 players when we have peak 100
I still remember the day notch sold out to microsoft
servers capable of larger player counts means the game is better prepared for growth in userbase
that was a sad day
tbf it was literally like a billion dollars lmao
2000 people tried to join our server yesterday, so we need 2000+ player slots
plus since the game dev is pinging, a good chunk of the online playerbase will be trying to join
we routinely host events with 300+ players at one time
but I was on 4chan when he advertized his new game back in like 2010-1 early pre- alpha
yah but this grow very, very slowly..
no computer will need more than 512 mb of memory ahh take
Virality can happen
has happened
booms in popularity are sudden
it trying happend almost 5 years π π
5yr is both a lot and not a lot of time
with an indie game like this, it's hard to predict surges of new people buying the game
Unique or "[Notification] Client 2000 uid xXx attempting identification. Name: Xxx"
...anyway are there any cool public vcomms channels for this event? Here or in defcon server?
unique
2000 unique player ids tried joining yesterday
Yes we have a few open on the defcon discord
i.e. the fact that it happened once means it will likely happen again, and we should have servers that are prepared for it. it really isnt that hard to grasp
Voice chats seem empty or is that just a perm thing?
need vs role and yeah some havent joined vc yet
have it
makes me think the vc's your refering to are not visible to the vs role
but dw
there just aren't many
a lot of people might want to just exchange tags and open up a DM group for vc
People just didnt flood them yet
Since it's a bit hard to form groups outside of "who spawned near me"
:3
what if... player hunted by 500 tyrons...
any known streamers streaming it?
π€·ββοΈ
was a few yesterday 1k+ veiwers overall, and event was messed around
Not aware of anything happening yesterday, i would guess you refer to within the defcon dc?
one minute
I will but not in language you understand π
gib link
It's time
