Steam is approving refunds for those of you stuck on rta/fss now.
Since ags has publicly said they have no plans to fix the server problems making the game unplayable for those who invested into rta/fss they are now approving refunds.
Bunch of my friends got approved. I am sorry for those of you who got abandon but steam has your back.
Good to know, but I’ll personally wont do it. But still this might be useful for other community members.
But honestly u’d be still on lose after refund. Ur time and efforts wont get any refund … the 20-40$ or how much it was the game is nothing…
No idea what is their scope or theory about fresh servers, specially when there isnt financial reason like on Legacy servers to just play with players patience until they buy transfer tickets. So far from Fresh servers we cant even buy transfer tickets (correct me pls if I’m wrong).
So once again, I cant find any reason or explanation to understand WHY they would keep:
-5 fresh servers with under 1.000 population: Dracul, Enkidu, Jormungandr, Ulthar, Ilium. 1 would be enough for new players.
-11 fresh servers with under 1.500 population. Population that its dropping little by little with everyday. Servers: Galahad, Crassus, Kronos, Gilgamesh, Fate, Jupiter, Nyx, Morgaine, Imhotep, Apophis, Gawain.
I’m not saying to merge them all, but I cant see any reason for keeping 16 servers with half population or less! Release HYPE its gone and now population its only dropping, not rising.
It sends a message. And that’s what the community should be doing(in my opinion). Speaking with their wallets. You refund the game, you’re not coming back. I personally will be looking to do this.
Pay that refund money to Blizz every two months for their 2004 gameplay of stand in one spot and bash two buttons endlessly and every now and then move out of ground spells…and the copy pasted reskinned DF models and zones instead. That is on top of paying for the expansion and gold with money and competing with addicts who have bigger wallets.
Prolly because once all that is done, we would see same ppl whinning about queue and server lag, because the game cant handle more then 1500 players smoothly.
What i think ags could do is put player cap on 1.5k then at least ppl might whine less.
Since somwhow you guys like quantity over quality.
Quantity and quality have nothing to do with servers size.
But yeah, its more fun having plenty servers with ‘friendly wars’ or no wars at all. Simply because some egos need to be fed with confidence.
I’ve see it on fresh servers that I’m playing many returned/new companies disbanding or quitting game after they lost their ‘free’ claimed territories.
This quality u are talking about?
i dont do wars i dont do pvp only do it for gypsum, pvp sucks i am a mage player and hate the way pvp is balanced here with tap tap tap meta builds and no creativity.
But for sure i dont want my dungeons and other pve stuff be ruined because servers cant handle more then 1.5k players and keeps lagging out.
And if they lost their territory and quit it just mean they lack effort to do so and thats on them, you dominate or you get dominated thats how online games mostly works pwn or get pwned.
I would like for more players on all servers? sure why not. But if it is so that ppl get it and then start whining because queue or server lag, why do it then? does it make sense? we know that story already.
I am sure AGS should at least open transfers and see how things work and escalate by enabling it and disabling it according to numbers i dont know why they have that difficulty to do so, but merging right now is not really needed, because i am sure that while some servers reach 1k and another 1k, if they merge it doesnt mean that that server will have 2k players just simple as that, many ppl might come back and try it out since there is players and then suddenly server influx is too high more then 2.5k and then what??? whining about queues.
I dont know mate, I’ve played on servers with queue and I dont had lag issues. The few times when I had Lag Detected stuffs were because of my internet provider. But maybe I’ve just been lucky. I cant speak in general as I dont know others PC/internet situations.
oh no i am talking about things like dungeons lag, when mobs take up to 3-4 minutos to spawn. And since dungeons got beefed up a bit, would not like to stress.
