WildStar: Reloaded |OT| Full Steam Ahead!

Megaservers can't handle the influx of F2P players, I guess
 
Well, my PVP toon got made but I can't seem to make one on the PVE server. I played the PVP toon for a bit, liked what I saw in the tutorial and starter zone, but don't want to invest too much into that character as I don't enjoy world PVP.
 
I understand that most launches of online anything tends to be a bit bumpy but I hope they redeem game time. The game died, the client is borked and now the log-in servers are timing out

GW2 hasn't had a single downtime since it launched. It's actually really incredible if you play other MMOs on the side. You start to notice the downtimes more often.

To be fair that isn't true. In Aug 2013 they implemented a Wallet and had to do downtime for a few hours but got it back up before the scheduled time. In ANet's 10 year history, they've had maybe ~50 hours of downtime, 24 of which was to physically move servers. Their server tech is better than any other company in gaming. So good that they own the rights to the proprietary tech. As gamers they absolutely loathe downtime and they made it their mission to not have it for their games.
 
figured out how to make a char on US, but got hit with the hourglass of doom lol

meanwhile on EU theres no queue but theres crippling lag. yay
 
The character creation is also queued at the moment, it just takes a significant amount of time for them to show up and this isn't conveyed in-game.

This is a known issue that crops up under peak usage time. Due to the heavy user traffic on a server (usually the PvE servers), character creation becomes queued. Your characters will show up, but after a large delay.

We're actively looking into a fix. This is among our highest priorities.

Meanwhile, PvP servers are unaffected for the time being.

I logged in a few hours later after my initial attempts at creating a PVE Esper only to find 5 of them.

Right now the game can't access my character list, server keeps timing out.
 
We killed it.
 
Yeah, I didn't find the open world PVP in this game particularly engaging. All it did was make leveling and dailies slightly more irritating. If you're going to do some kind of persistent PvP, go big like DAoC, ESO, or GW2. Low stakes gank fests don't cut it imo.

To each their own, though.
 
Game seems to run a bit better than it did the last time I tried to play it.
No fucking clue what I was doing on my level 10 character though.

Imo there should be some big monthly Exile / Dominion skirmish.
 
Just created a character on the EU server but after crashing it won't let me load back my character into the game...

Are the servers down?

There was a message saying the servers were going to go down. I just lost connection myself so I assume they're down now. it said it would only be down for 15 mins.
 
i think im gonna go play some other games for few weeks this downtime and constant problems is insane, coming from gw2 has made it worse since their was no problems during the f2p transition.

yea heavy load on server etc but its clear they have barely prepared for it.
 
I managed to finish Fragment Zero before the lag came back in a group. That was pretty fun, although bosses aside, didn't really need me healing.
 
Of course I can get to the character selection but not further. Eh, I think I just wait another week for stuff to get sorted out. xD
 
The new tutorial dungeon is fantastic (you unlock it at level 10 I believe, the Protogames Academy). They REALLY drill interrupting into your head.

Bravo, Carbine. Great intro dungeon.

Yeah the Shiphands (I forget what the new name for them are) aren't too heavy on mechanics that I remember. They're mostly fun themed diversions. Adventures and Dungeons require more teamwork.

Wait, the servers are still down?

Yikes

I just logged in. Which server is down for you?
 
Yeah, Expeditions are just little story instances. Usually easy, but some have some fun mechanics (I believe a later one messes with gravity). Adventures are next up on the difficulty. They're usually harder but still not too bad. They usually involve group decision making and have branching paths.

Dungeons are traditional. Trash ==> Boss. They're hard, but they're really rewarding. I enjoy dungeons more than anything else, but Adventures are fun with friends. Randos kinda make Adventures meh.
 
Just tried logging in before work and my character seems to be created. Can I get an invite to the NA PvE Exile guild? My spellslinger is called Jenna Novae.

From the two minutes of running around I did it seems the animations in this game are really fluid. Me likey.
 
The lag is pretty insane tonight. Though the first hour was totally lag free.
I got kicked out of an expedition in the middle of it as well. Ugh.

Anyway, the game looks beautiful sometimes, especially at night.
