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.
Make sure you read the dev tracker posts when you’re having problems, so you can figure out if things are either known or intentional
Should save you some time,
By the time this was posted there was no info on it.
They’re temporarily disabled due to a bug that was found during the transfer process.
An update would be appreciated since many of us are waiting to transfer…
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.
They have stated that within a thread, under the Latest Official News/Official News topics - New World Forums section, in a post called:
[Notice] Character Persistence Issue after Server Transfer Update - Official News / Official News - New World Forums
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.
that was over a day ago, its the weekend we are ready to play with our friends again, all mine have left the server, we need an eta.
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.
What do you expect them to say?
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.
I mean, people are already outraged, and will be every day that goes by without news. Silence may not be the best choice in this case.
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.
No, it’s not my first rodeo. But I suppose I just tend to have more patience and understanding.
they have had 3 1/2 weeks to get this ready, our patience is gone. I’m sorry you can’t understand that.
lamentável isso
Woopdidoo, an entire three and a half weeks. Yeh, no, I just can’t understand the level of impatience that comes with that to become so wound up about over. Plus that still doesn’t take away from the fact that they have released updates on the status throughout that period.
That update was the initial announcement about the transfer shut down. Im looking for an announcement in regards to HOW LONG of a wait can we expect. I was initially thinking a few hours or a day but we are already past that.
If its going to be a few more days or even a week it would be nice to know so i dont have to keep checking.
