How in the seven hells is this even comparable to what activision-blizzard has done? What, a removal of server transfer tokens -compared- to abuse? And now we’re talking strictly the developers, not Amazon as a whole.
Perhaps people should re-direct their pitchforks and torches towards those that began exploiting - that is the reason why you currently have no server transfer tokens. Because of -them-. Because instead of decency, some people thought “hey let’s screw with the game”, when they unearthed a problem.
Just because there’s a loop hole, doesn’t mean you have to crawl through.
Ahh right… in that case I can imagine the annoyance. Especially if you were counting to transfer your character to be able to play with friends.
I picked a HIGH population server on purpose, because I knew I could switch to a better suited one after a while. I’m not part of the ‘masses’ and I solo
I came to the game a week late. By then the people I came to play with were on a locked server. My brother and I started on a low pop server with the intention to join the rest asap. I am not even annoyed about it though. I will transfer when it is ready and working properly. After all these years I know better than to expect perfection with transfers or merges.
Yea. I come from an old time in MMO world and I don’t know any better than to accept these things.
But it’s not a very good move to announce server transfers will be possible, because people will behave accordingly. (like a low pop server on purpose)
Expectation management and they did wrong there.
Not directly targeted at you personally, bust just in general to these sort of comments, seeing as to how people keep asking for communication from AGS.
But do read. AGS has given us an update, they have stated the following:
Update:
We’ve transferred approximately 150K players since character transfers went live. A small number of those have resulted in characters with an invalid data state that needs to be corrected. We’ve done that for those affected last night, but there are a still some new transfers affected that we see happening. We have paused character transfers and evaluate how we can prevent future occurrences of this problem. When that is resolved we’ll resume the service, with an announcement ahead of time.
How much more clear does AGS have to make it? We can’t expect them to just sit here and copy paste the same response to every single post because people don’t read.
I mean any kind of ETA would be honestly GREAT. That’s how they could be more clear.
If you think it’s gonna be a day, say that, if you think it’s gonna be a week, say that. The lack of any timeline whatsoever is why people are asking for an update.
The problem is though, more often than not when working with bugs like these, you will simply not know. So what if they give an ETA of 3 days, but it’s not met? People will be outraged. What if they play it safe, give an ETA of 4 weeks? People will be outraged.
With what has been experienced the last few weeks then I highly doubt and am probably 90% right when i say we will not be getting the token back before a day in next week im afraid.
So what do you expect? The answer is clear. It’s not ready yet. An hourly message, it’s not ready yet? Someone wasting their time replying to every forum post, stating little else than it’s not ready yet?
They’re not silent. They have given us a status update. The status update still stands. Nothing changed in that.
is this your first rodeo? its normal practice to give an estimate or window when you may be able to use your services again… standard practice my friend. its been over a day since we have been notified and it is the weekend when all my friends play so it is important to figure out if we are gonna be able to play this weekend so we can make other plans. I dont know what you’re on about lol.
