Seems like it. The quality of their communication has plummeted.

Maybe nobody is working on a sunday there or the plan is to have the population drop under 100k so its playable again by itselfā¦ lol
U know u are doing the same thing i literally said was pointless?
You are right sir, 100%
And also i am right sir. (beacause i never said that people should āconstantly cry about itā, still they do have right to complain and be angry, and even vent theyr frustration on chat/discord/forum or whatnot EVEN IF IT WONT FIX ANYTHING, as long as it makes them feel better, they paid for something, they have that RIGHT, we cant said ānoā to them, ther is no point).
No communication now is same as having communication before since all they did was pretty much summed up on daily that the game is not working during primetime and offtime prime its getting more āstableā so they can go home and chill

the point is, they dont feel better, they get in this loop of crying, and eventually it consumes them, and then that is all they know how to respond such things, making them look like a child in the process.
so just bring up a problem, dont sit there and CONSTANTlLY do it.
Was up extra early this morning and was able to play perfectly fine for an hour. Tried again just now and canāt connect. Will probably have to play during ābusiness hoursā tomorrow as Iām not sure they have solved the problems. Itās self-healing when thereās low load.
I really donāt get this whining. Itās a small group of people who made this game. The problems atm are not the game itself but the servers. This happened to the real big ones plenty of time.
And what more communication do you need. There are status updates, a discord channel and a forumā¦ They prob donāt read the hate and whine posts atm but work on the server issues. Take a chill pill!

thats what ppl are doing
how long does the chill pill last you think? its 4 days and im soon out of them
best comment i read so far
I really like the game, and I support the developers.
But to see five days in a row the same thing suggests that the guys just do not know how to fix it.

Itās literally not a āSmallā group
This investment does many wonderful things for EHG and Last Epoch, including:
Guaranteeing the stability of our development pipeline through the full 1.0 release of Last Epoch
Allowing funds for required hardware, like more testing machines, and server infrastructure to support Multiplayer
Allowing us to hire and contract industry experts and consultants for the most challenging aspects of development and live operations
Allowing us to expand our team (weāre hiring, join us!) 7
Allowing us marketing capital for the 1.0 release of the game - this means more players to share Eterra with!
Ensuring our stability and growth as a studio for years to come

Weāve scale tested for months with third parties, consultants, the help of infra providers, and our own backend team. We have the ability to scale servers quickly, have reserved a large amount of bare metal machines, and do not have a maximum spend for cloud overflow- itās all elastic. From the extensive testing weāve done, unless we do have a really crazy turnout, we should be stable. Itās not lost on us that many much larger companies than us have had issues at launch thoughā¦ Weāre optimistic and if there are issues it certainly wonāt be for lack of effort, spend, or ignorance to the importance of launch day.
If we do have issues I promise that weāll stay very communicative and you can be 100% certain weāll be all hands on deck working to resolve anything that comes up. We understand whatās on the line.
I will say that this is probably the most stressing thing to the team as weāve seen games be review bombed and eviscerated when there are launch issues. I remember being frustrated when games I was excited for had launch issues in the past, but now being on the other side of it Iāve seen how much of an emotional toll it can take on a team to face hatred for something that they have tried hard to prepare for but it not be received/gone well despite best efforts. Just in general I think itās a good thing for the gaming community to understand the impact those types of things have on development teams. Thatās not me asking for leniency for our team, just rather an insight I feel worth sharing for gamers in general.
Another thing Iāll share because itās interesting and something I didnāt understand before being in game development (before LE) - itās nearly never the game servers that have issues at launch as those are easy to scale as long as you have the funds and willingness to pay the server providers (typically Google or Amazon), itās more often an issue with services like login/authentication/database rate limiting. We use Steam and other services that are battle tested at scale for these things.
But, in summary, weāve prepared heavily and have every reason to suspect weāll be in good shape come launch day. If there are issues weāll be communicative and working to address anything that comes up immediately.
Thanks all, sorry for the long post here

Except now without the communication it feels like theyāre doing nothing or less. Which probably isnāt true but still
It is not normal that u pay for something announced 1.0 and u can not access it. The company should be well prepared before launching the 1.0 version of the game. Now the statistics going down people are unhappy most of them looking for a refund. Company will loose lots of customers and so money. And the name of the company will be known as mehhh. So bad.

They respond like that because they dont know better way of doing it in the first place.
Or are not capable to handle extra stress for whatever reason (might be personal or whatnot).
Im only saing that telling them to stop cry only makes it worse for them.
If u are concerned in them entering unhealthy loop, go give tame private msg, give them proffesional asssistance and take resposibility for them.
We both know u dont have such intentions with all respect to you bro
- They have right to do it
- We have no right to stop them if we dont intent to take resposibilty for they stress that is caused by devs/server providers/etc.
- u are saying they are doing something wrong but u dont give them any solutions to they problem, thats irresponsible man, and its even more toxic that complaining on *a thing, because your denaying theyr feeling that they have right to have (they literally boght that right- no matter how funny it sound
