More server, cross realm activities. YEP 5Head.
I agree 100% they should have new instances ready to spawn up regardless of the timing of increase,
We have seen this pattern before new content people swarm in see it in streams get excited and log back in
What’s new what did I miss a swell then a reduction.
It’s not super easy to balance economy, and obviously us east for example mutations mobs are taking like many minutes to spawn so something is causing a huge server Instability
Damn you group finder are you at it again!
Actually I did see it coming. When they massed merged into a handful of servers they either had info the game was going to die completely or they were making a panic decision out of corporate greed that would result in huge queues for platers during busy times. It’s not that hard to see if you have any experience in corporate business. They constantly make horrible decisions that screw employees and customers just to show good numbers that month.

Alright, seems they need people like that, you should apply and work 24/7 on weekends just to help with the support! Really help them achieve there goals!
I think players should be more patient and wait a while before running to the forums to complain.
It’s a good sentiment but AGS created this situation putting us in queues for an hour in front of your computer. So of course people are going to spend that time on the forum and rightfully so.

For starters they can have multiple shifts. It’s not like one person works 24 hours straight and you know that. If you are going to have a product that runs 24/7 you need to have staff to maintain that. Not just tell customer oh we don’t work weekends and holidays. Plenty of business staff 7 days a weeks days and night shift and holidays. It’s not anything new. It’s corporate greed and mismanagement causing all these issues plain and simple.
If you were staying in a hotel on the weekend and no one cleaned your room and the AC was out in the summer would you say that’s Ok I don’t expect them to work weekends?

Naw
I decided to come back to play the game, unfortunately, I can not play.
Even DAOC freeshards are better handled than this crap.
Get professional, or just close the game

Perfect examples!
This is not an emergency just because you have to wait a little time to log in, the game is not in constant decline, the players that enjoy the game continue to play it and ppl that try it out and its not for them will stop playing it, just use your basic common sense they will do things when they are able to
There is no reason to have devs working on a weekend, mon-fri is more than adequate, even if they did work 7 days a week they are not going to fix anything right away, waiting in a que is not something that needs fixed and the ques are not that long compared to waiting several hours at release you are complaining about nothing.

they have recently increased the cap, and devs have tweeted that they’re working on it
Taking three days to fix a dupe exploit because it was a long weekend, or happened late on a friday night isn’t a “harmless” instance. In fact, I’m pretty sure the majority of the players here on this forum and the hundreds of thousands that have left this game would argue that unreasonably long response times to bugs, exploits, and grey-area misbehaving was an integral part of why players felt like this game was failing. We’re now at a year with the aftermath of exploits still lingering in the game. There’s a reason BiS is selling for 2-3mil and not 50-100k
This would be like saying the electric company shouldn’t work on weekends, or that fast food joints shouldn’t be open 24/7. It’s better to pay an employee overtime, or to offer a “second shift” bonus rather than to just disregard your business in general.
AGS already has moderators that work weekends, why not tack on a developer or two to handle any obscurities that might (have) occurred…?
All the exploited gold was removed and if you take advantage of a dupe you will get banned and everything removed anyway so its hardly an issue, ppl leaving has nothing to do with bugs or exploits and everything to do with what content in available plain and simple.
Its a game its not essential for devs to be available every day, even WoW bugs dont get fixed straight away and can be several weeks or months before they are actually fixed, one dev wouldnt be able to do much if anything at all.
I’m sure the hundreds of thousands of Asmodeum floating around on every server was obtained legitimately.
Let’s see… .6% of the playerbase has 200 smelting. 6% of 2000 is 120, 120 x 365 days = 43800 (not sure when the x10 was added)
43800 x 10 = 438,000 I’d have to see when they changed asmodeum from 1 to 10 to see what the potential total actually is, but assuming that they released with x10 per day- this would still be the absolute maximum.
This of course is assuming that 6% of the playerbase hit 200 smelting on the first day (which they did not), this is assuming that 100% of the 6% of players with 200 smelting are ALL still playing the game (they all are not). This is assuming that all 120 of those players on every server have never skipped a day of crafting asmodeum (they most certainly have, I personally have crafted asmoduem less than 5 times)
I’ve seen individual players as late as two weeks ago selling 10k asmodeum, not to mention the thousands of asmodeum that has been used in crafting, the thousands of asmodeum that is on the AH.
Saying that all the duped items and gold are gone from the game is just… ignorant.
