The server cap of 2500 is there for performance issues.
Being able to move between them with relative ease is open to massive amounts of abuse.
Examples:
If the server fills up, the queue begins. (Imagine a mega clan decides to move their characters in at nadir hours (we’ll say 200-300 people) and just leave them logged there to force the natives into the queue at Primetime. Negated invasions, defenseless takeovers… etc… (That stunt would make the news Eve style…and not in a good way.)
Then there’s the “go to the low pop server to do all your farming… with say… a BOT” where nobody’s going to report you… then come back and flood the market with coin or goods.
I’ve left a negative review on steam till they fix this. Is there an official answer on when the servers will be unlocked? Also, if transfers are gonna be available later on. If yes, I could create the char on another server. But I do wanna play with my friends.
They can at least let you join a server that you have friends in. Shouldn’t be that difficult to implement.
I agree… like Ive have said they should have communicated gave 10 days to pick a server after that they will start locking but in 45 days we will allow transfers amongst those new servers. this would allow people to transfer if needed.
I can’t belive that they don’t plan on letting people moving from fresh server to fresh server after the day one apocalypse. They already have the developped structure… They work quite well on reworking the game just to fail like this… No, I will not play 30 hours just to redo again my characters from scratch. After a first time on broken legacy server I don’t have the strength to stick with it.
Keep it up the good work, and let us transfer for joining friend.
Yep, you are right. But announcing that you’ll make a crapy move will not change the fact that it’s a crapy move. Plus they said I think “not as this time”, and not never for transfert FSS to FSS. Now that there is a lot of returning ppl and that it’s a problem cause server is locked realy fast, In my opinion they should work on that. Letting player play with friends in an mmorpg is quite basic UX for me.
There is no logic.
Yesterday there was a lot of US East servers that were open for character creation and all of them had queues of 200+ people, at the same time, in SA there was 0 queue and half of the servers were locked (and still are).
Right, use you’re sarcasm as you want, I don’t care. (sarcasm make nobody smarter than they are)
I am the patient kind around me most of the time. And in fact I will play solo or multi with random or stop and play something else if I want. But I know that it’s not the case for a lot of ppl. I didn’t say that only me myself and I want it nOWwW, I said : In my opinion they should work on this particular point fast cause around me it will stop a lot of friends to try again NW after the fiasco of the D-One or simply start NW. Is it really good to have this bad first impression (or second first impression) for new players or return one ? => I totaly think no and that sad cause Dev made a great job on upgrading the game.
I don’t think players ask impossibe tech like Insta loot, level max or anything like that. Just playing with friends wich is quite understanble in a mmorpg.
