Exactly, it seems that the majority does not know about budgeting and how actual businesses work. Amazon this, Amazon that, it is a rather small gaming studio making a game. While their budget is relatively high it is still limited and approval for increasing it takes time. They have opened up a shit load of new servers and the reason they are not allowing to transfer right now is because they want to see if the new servers help.
Imagine the transfers open and then people start moving from one place to the other (assuming it is only allowed once) then if people move stupidly some servers will fill up too and the queue is back. It is all about proper distribution which takes time to set in, but should happen relatively soon. Migrating servers are also going to cause a larger load on the servers and probably will cause additional issues. And even if everything goes smoothly people will still find something to cry about.
Leaving a bad review bc of que times is a bit immature seriously. They are sorting this out as we speak. I think its unrealistic to expect a 100 percent game on release.
Not sure why you would do this. And to suggest it is asinine. This game doesnāt deserve that and the devs donāt deserve that.
Game have 60 hours of existence. Okay they should have provide more server at launch or anything. But donāt say they do nothing about it, 2 times more servers, they canāt do everything WELL in little time.
You know that they are people, they sleep, they eat, they have a life. If you donāt have anything else to do than complaining over and over and over, thatās not because of them.
And i repeat myself in case, i agree they should have prepared the launch better but they havenāt, end of the story.
Thatās like people complaining they want IMMEDIATLY server change with their level 25-30 characters but in fact they have played 20-25 hours since release. Sure, poor of them.
Sounds like a revenge type of request rather than a productive one.
Like many others, I have spent a lot of time in long queues but running to steam to intentionally lower the rating on a great game because I think a tantrum is on order because I cannot play exactly when I want is the last thing I want to do to a game that I actually enjoy playing. I want to see this game succeed and am mature enough to understand that server issues are the norm more than the exception with new launches so I a not going to take this personally and plot sabotage with a negative review when I actually like the game. The fact that the company has been very proactive in adding a lot of new severs AND offering free character transfers within a day of launch is also a big plus.
I am not suggesting that someone should not mention the long queues when providing a constructive review of the game but to run out and intentional give a ānegative reviewā of the game because there are some queue issues in the first few days or weeks seems rather childish so my advice is to ignore the adolescent suggestion to run and give a negative review so they āfixā the game. Just provide an honest review of what you like and do not like about the game and mention the queues if this is a concern with you.
Iāve got 30 hours in since launch and having minimal issues (US-East) but Iām not playing on a high pop server. Que times are decreasing steadily and will continue to do so as initial excitement tapers off. I will be leaving a positive review.
Just one questionā¦ How old are you? this kind of revenge behavior, is like when a kid seeās another with a candy and since he canāt have it, he throws the kid candy to the floor something like that
i totally agree with you, although long que times would have weeded alot of people off the game immediately. No other review to give. Thumbs down because, server ques are ridiculous and cant play. Regardless of the gameplay thats a developer/capacity issue.
There definately can be a huge thumbs down to a game for not having stable servers, enough servers or anything along those lines.
Iāve already given the game a positive review as Iām loving it. Having to queue for a couple of hours doesnāt change how good the game is, and Iāve been gaming long enough to expect a few teething problems, especially when the game is an MMO with nearly 800k concurrent users.
It is true that the queues are ābadā, so a review that says āthe queues suckā would be saying the truth. Thatās for sure not a lie or even a mistake.
It would however be incomplete, and the resulting āconclusionā (for example : āNew World SUCKSā) would not be true, the statement : āthis game deserves a 0/10ā is not trueā¦
In a sense, you might argue that itās lying by omission, youāre saying something that is true (the queues suck) without mentioning the rest (the game does not suck)
Yeah sure, the exact same case. The fact is the kid that has no candy, paid upfront for candy, but the candy store just had 1 candy and sold it to multiple kids.
Already told several people to not buy it, in addition to leaving a review on steam. Will change if they stop being so lazy because so far the devs did absolutely 0 to help.
Anybody ever play a game at launch or is it a new thing cause this is the epitome of cluelessness xD
Why not flood report them instead, just saying they will not check reviews on a game that keeps gaining pop daily, your just putting effort into nothing
I have done this and left a thumbs down review on steam. Although I did go into detail why I was leaving a negative review. The work AMAZON games have done to reduce qās has had ZERO effect.
Morning play is doable, but afternoon or evening is just not possible due to the massive q times. As many have said, if the same problem occurs next week the game will suffer with huge numbers just quiting. They were warned about the problem , but they did not listen.
Iām lucky as I work from home, I pity the poor buggers that come home at night expecting to be able to play.
