Currently 111k playing, and 140km in queue trying to get into EU servers.

What's REALLY interesting is the bumped the 1k concurrent on servers (you could see it on the pop tracker site) to 2k straight up. Wonder how many more hits of that it can take. Hopefully they could get it up to 3-4k to accommodate everyone not on a zerg or streamer server more easily on the initial launch blast.

Damn my server fucked. Closed down and world server under maintenance. I wasn't getting ANY lag either.

5am - names reserved. Feels like I was allowed to open one xmas gift and now to wait for the rest. I wish the 2k server pop could hit 3k, maybe with the first land expansion?

World Experience​

World​

  • Fixed the following to respawn rates for named AI that are required for Quest completion:
    • Master Henry
    • Gheist Maliko
    • Pastor Walsh

Quests​

  • Fixed a bug that caused completing certain side quests could block players from being able to advance the quest “Corruption Encroaching”.
  • Addressed an issue where by resetting “The Ritual” quest, players would lose the Heartgem needed to complete the quest.
  • Updated Barkimedes quests to address an issue where players could leave mid-Expedition and stockpile quest items for extra quest turn-ins.
  • Unlocked the Main Story Quests after “The Depths” Expedition – the Main Story will now take players all the way to Shattered Mountain.
  • Various VO and Text fixes and tweaks.

Tech​

  • Fixed an issue in the Windsward “Sole Survivor” quest where sometimes the quest would not update when approaching the Watcher.
  • Fixed an issue causing Hapless Howe animations to not play correctly.

AI​

Notable Bug Fixes​

  • Fixed multiple bugs preventing AI from properly leashing or spawning in invalid areas

Combat​

Notable Bug Fixes​

  • Fixed an issue that caused players to become permanently stuck in the exhausted state.
  • Speed hack prevention added.
  • Fixed an issue that caused War to get stuck in the setup phase.
  • Fixed an issue that allowed players to receive PvP rewards from duels by drowning after the duel is complete.
  • Fixed an issue that caused PvP flag to stay active in sanctuaries if the player dodge rolled across the border.
  • Fixed an issue that caused the Iced Refresh perk from the Ice Gauntlet to activate from abilities other than the Mighty Spike ability.
  • PVP damage scale adjusted to lessen the gap between high/low level players.

Economy/Progression/Rewards​

Notable Bug Fixes​

  • Fixed an issue that allowed players to use the item hotbar to duplicate items.
  • Fixed an issue that caused T4 and T5 Azoth Staves to be unavailable.
  • Fixed an exploit where a War Declaration mechanic could be used to duplicate coin.
  • Fixed an issue that caused a player’s PvP Reward Value did not reset if they respawned at a camp.
  • Adjusted the “Recall” function in the Game Menu to enable players to recall to the Watchtower of the beach they started at. After binding to an Inn the Recall function will return players to that Inn.

UX/ UI / Social​

Streamer Mode​

  • We added a new streamer mode that will allow streamers and players to hide notifications and avoid interaction with other players to improve their overall experience while playing the game.
  • Players can turn on streamer mode in the following ways:
    • Slash commands in chat: /busy or /dnd
    • The new “Social” Tab in the Settings Menu

Polish and New Additions​

  • Reduced the number of days a governor has to be absent before a consul automatically replaces from 30 to 15 days.
  • VOIP is now disabled for the first 3 hours after character creation to limit poor voice behavior.
  • Activated Twitch Spotlight and Twitch Sub Army features.

Notable Bug Fixes​

  • Fixed an exploit that allowed players to take PvP missions without being flagged (via exploiting dueling)
  • Fixed an exploit that allowed companies to be able to repeatedly declare war during the Invasion lockout period (but before the Invasion was scheduled) to duplicate coin from “refunded” war declaration costs.

So yeah the popular servers taking a pounding even at 2k cap...def trying to stay away from streamers. 2k players and 8k in queue LOL.

maybe some of this is from non-euros quickly playing or getting names

Why anyone would want to actively be on a streamer's server is just beyond me. I know it's a thing and people are into it, but knowing I'm only going to be playing the game periodically and after a multi-hour long queue each time I try to log in, with a messed up economy and a giant ball of lag rolling around ruining framerates and gameplay, just seems like a hella dumb thing to do.

US East ping is up to 125ms now, it was 53 last night.

Edit: I was hoping that Amazon would be able to launch with insane capacity, but it looks like they will be way underprepared. NA will probably explode.

Noob company, so you know this launch would be a fuck up. But dosent amazon own like THE server farm that everyone else goes to rent servers from? Man they should have that shit on lock down.

Also ping for me here in MI goes anywhere from 140 down to 30 and up again for the East servers.

It's literally the scope of the game and the stupid naming system they decided on, as well as the incredibly stupid tiered rollout plan.

The powers combined absolutely shot themselves in the foot, and they deserve the rage they have generated.

That said, I think I was in like within 10s of the EU servers coming up and managed to snag Rezz, which is almost always taken by some shitty healer asshole.

These EU player queues are crazy.

And then there is ~20 servers on the other side with less then 100 in queue.

I'll make sure to read the forums day 1 as people complain about queues as they all try to cram into 5 of servers ignoring all the rest.

Almost called it.

Though I don't why all the servers with 1k+ in queue are not just labeled full. or you get weird shit like this :

How is that "medium"?

Looks like they just opened 7 more ,will see if people actually use them or just sit in their 10k+ queue:

Doggo walked. Showered and shiny.
Time to face disappointment as I strive for that hit of nostalgia one more time.
