I was not planning to play before mid March at the earliest.
But being a regular of these forums I popped it tonight to see how things are going.
Apparently the game is unplayable, that was highly predictable, the only surprise is that people are surprised…
But what puzzled me is that I just learnt about the Blast Epoch challenge.
I am baffled. This is sheer suicide!
Just the “normal” modern days FOMO is enough to destroy most launches, a lot of people want to play the minute a game is available, for mysterious psychological reasons. This is very, very hard to handle, D3, PoE, Lost Ark, New World, and others, have all suffered from that.
Why on earth do you put an incentive in place for EVEN MORE PEOPLE to come and blast your servers at the same time???
I can understand (and expect) click-bait and short-sightedness from Maxroll and VisionGL, but if I understand correctly this race is sponsored by 11H?
That sounds completely crazy.
Oh well, good luck, see you around in one month or so.
