Patch which gives nothing! Is this a joke?

If you pick up something it goes to storage. So place it and pick it up.

This patch fixes several critical server side issues that have shown up in the week since the 1.1 patch. This isn’t the weekly patch but it is an extraordinarily important patch. Just because you don’t see a bug doesn’t mean that it isn’t there and it isn’t a critical issue. My server is one of the primary servers affected by these issues. Since Friday we’ve had 2 time skips total, and a server crash followed by 1 or 2 hours of maintenance every day. Calnogor is the 5th most populated server on NA-East so that’s a good 10-15k people affected by this daily. I’m glad we’re getting this fix. Especially since Thanksgiving is in 2 days in the USA. These developers are going above and beyond for this game and if you can’t see that then you’re blinded by your own selfish rage.

emergency fix for server stability, watch official news.
if you have STEAM update, its not related to new world, its related to STEAM client, so its completely different, if you have new world update, then its about this server fix maintenance, and its an emergency and its on OFFICIAL NEWS in this actual forum …

@Rislav Even with the huge drop in concurrent players this game is still above and beyond more popular than they ever anticipated. You realize 175k concurrent players means that there are around still 800k-1mil active players right? Most people that play MMOs can’t play constantly or regularly. I would only start panicking about the game dying when it starts to drop under 50k concurrent which would put it under EVE Online. I would only say this game is dead once it drops under 10k concurrent which would put it under Albion Online. Reality check friend. This happens with MMOs. It’s initial numbers were absurd and never before seen in MMO history. 1 million concurrent players on day 1 is literally a record never before seen in MMO history ever for a brand new IP. Even vanilla WoW didn’t get anywhere close to the numbers NW is seeing. And that wasn’t a brand new IP from an unproven developer!

Yesterday our server Balanjar crashed and caused time to skip leading to weird station downgrades here and there, action house timers going down, house taxes having to be payed twice, players getting achievements they shouldn’t have (playtime achievements) etc.
This maintenance is most likely a reaction to this crash, and not a regular weekly patch. Might have affected other server too, I’m not sure.

  • Fixed a rare server crash
  • Reduced occurrences of time skipping days ahead instantly on a world

This has been happening to a lot of different servers. US-East Calnogor has had a server crash every day since Friday and 2 time skips total.

They should’ve named this ā€œemergency maintenanceā€ and not ā€œpatchā€ā€¦

Thou shall not release major changes on holidays. It’s in the list around not pushing to prod on Friday. Just don’t…

Low risk, trying to add stability was a good move going into a Holiday. While I’m pretty sure they should be filling out missing person’s reports on their QA staff, the AGS staff are people too and hopefully a majority are not forced to work over the holiday.

Haha… I feel you… but was to funny to not answer :wink:

By the way… your OP is spam as well … just to let you know… :joy::+1:

Who said the game is dying?The graph shows ppl are fucking tired of this shit show thats going on since all this started to pile up.Are u a great axe player?or u have 90k gold?Come down from the sky and be realistic.I played this game a lot i know how it is ive been here when it released and since then,the game improved nothing.

While I wholeheartedly agree that people need to be polite on the forums, and that all people working at AGS are human beings who deserve a modicum of respect and care - this game is not in Beta. It was a production launch. It would be far better if AGS had launched New World as early access, even if just from a psychological stand point. Instead they did what many other game developers have done in the last 10 years - launched a game that was half-finished because of some marketing/executive or other pressure to put out a product now even if it was poor.

Do you remember the absolute rage of Star Wars Battlefront players at EA and the campaign to stop people from pre-ordering games that actually did have an impact on the gaming industry?
Or how Left 4 Dead killed their community by releasing enhancements as a sequel instead of into the original game as promised?
I’m (perhaps fruitlessly) optimistic that AGS will make progress in resolving some of these issues, similar to how ESO did (a game I also sank 500 hours into at launch and frankly, was in a better state at this point after launch than NW is.) But my main profession and income source was Furnishings, my friends don’t want to craft anything without their new trophy upgrades, chest runs are nearly impossible now, expedition orbs are still too expensive, OPR/Invasions/Wars are buggy and laggy - I have no idea what AGS expects me to be doing at max level right now since the latest patch pretty much killed everything I was doing.

Oh wow! You’ve been here for two months! Such a long time. I’ve been here for over a year now. I played the preview, the alphas, the betas. The game has improved by leaps and bounds. They had a bad patch with 1.1 but you act as if the sky is falling and the end is near. I’m not a GA player. I don’t have gold cap. I’m just not stupid with unrealistic expectations.

we’ve concluded that this is not a patch but an ā€œemergency fixā€.
The fix is important but does state that it will reduce the occurrence of the timewarp so it will not fix it but hopefully delay it until the patch. It is an important emergency fix. i really hope they do fix it because it
We actually don’t know if there is a weekly patch - that is the issue! So no need for a witch-hunt or toxic statements - we just don’t know because the dev note fails to communicate any of this.

The 1.1 patch was too quick. They haven’t fixed most of the original bugs and already have a lot of new ones. Now it almost unplayable.

I’m sorry if I came across as toxic in that initial statement, that really wasn’t my intent at all. I was just giving clarification that there are bigger things going on here. I read the dev tracker every day and regularly communicate with the community team directly. I have more knowledge of what’s happening under the hood than the average player does and I’m trying to do my part to help the game improve. I really do think this is the best MMO to release in a very very long time and I’m doing everything I can as a player to help out. I spent a lot of time on the PTR and caught an incredible bug that I’m really glad they fixed before 1.1 came out. They are working super hard on this game and I get upset when people take unfair shots at them.
