You’re right, by the time the devs sort this cluster fuck out, I’ll be long gone. Along with most of the population of this game.
I haven’t logged in, in 3 weeks.
I suggest you make the most of your populated server, cause the direction this game is headed it’s only a matter of time till those servers start to fall off and you see how shit the game is on low pop servers, and you’ll realise how much of an entitled prick you’ve been, gloating down at those who just wanted to be able to play the game
A lot of people are in the same boat. We’re all in a holding pattern kind of hoping that something gets resolved. You’re not alone in what you are seeking.
Who said I was on a high pop server, I’m on US East City of Brass 199 pop atm. I stopped playing 4 days ago. Its not just the lower pop of server. Here is my list.
1 High taxes , just wait until you start crafting. Housing taxes. The Rich get Richer to poor stay poor.
The stupid expeditions being so spread out you have to run across map. All the callouts in chat. the pug groups you get into are full of scrubs that are under geared and barley help out.
So you fail over and over till you quit losing a ton of gold on repairs for NOTHING
So why are you so pent up about people asking to be able to transfer off their dead server?
They have a valid point that you must surely be able to empathise with (and I’m pretty sure AGS aren’t as worried about people being able to take farmed materials from dead servers to high pop servers as they are about their inability to get server merges or transfers to work without fucking everything up)
PS I quit weeks ago due to exactly the issues you just mentioned due to low population.
Nah. I want to be able to do an expedition. As of right now, my server is so dead it will require 35% of the entire online player base to get a full group.
No, I get it. I understand fully that they need to make sure these merges and transfers work properly because they don’t have a lot of leeway for fuck ups anymore, but they also need to get this done quickly because every day they stall, more people are leaving.
If they leave it too long, there won’t be any servers worth merging
Ultimately I think this is symptomatic of a much deeper issue which leads me to believe this game is potentially doomed either way.
I think the game engine isn’t fit for purpose and that’s why they are having so many issues doing things that should be relatively simple.
They have built their house on sand. It doesn’t matter how often you fill in the cracks, there’s no saving the house.
Did you read my comment about expeditions above , your’re not missing much with pugs. Now if you have a group of 5 that you know are geared and can play there toon as a group them yes.
Was taking a break from game 4 about 3-4 weeks now. Had a lvl 15 character I didn’t want to delete on a server, but wanted my 55 guy on that server. I foolishly thought I could transfer off the level 15, then transfer my 55 to that server. How dumb of me because there was only 1 transfer token across all toons. So now I’m stuck with no one on the server I wanted to play on with my friends (if I had known it was only 1 token for all characters I made at launch I would have kept the 15 guy there).
Really need to have ability to buy a token or all 2 characters I made at launch should have each had individual transfer token.
