It isn’t as simple as flipping a switch or buying more servers. It takes time for servers to become stable, this isn’t just a LE thing, this happens with the healthy majority of games that release now. We should be happy that they offer the offline mode so that we can still play.

People don’t understand how much time and work has to go into this stuff. They are priveleged and want things as soon as they ask. Nothing is perfect, especially games at launch nowadays.

This is what really amazes me. Like some people really think the developers DON’T WANT THEIR MONEY and are just laying around doing nothing or even laughing at them.

Its a smaller company so I get wanting to be reasonable but at the same time we are what? 5 days in? Its kind of ridiculous at this point. They sold a million copies and have mentioned it a few times. At 35 bucks a pop that’s a lot of money. Time to spend some of it to get a consultant that can actually fix the issues.

Lot of strawmen but please try to stay on topic. This discussion wasn’t about being prepared or the state of the game but about them being on top of communicating the issues and what is being done to to fix them and then not doing it.

Check Discord. That is where they are.

And nothing I said had anything to do with flipping switches or buying more servers.
But you’ve hit the nail on the head, this is frequent problem with game studios / launches, because they all arrogantly think they’re prepared for it, despite the decades of evidence that they all aren’t, as if they never spent any time researching.
And that’s the point. What’s obvious to one, is not obvious to another.
Check their official forums that’s … their official communication platform…
And where we all are.

No, this is the official forum and they were using it to communicate. A 3rd party program should not take precedent over that.

People would have been much more willing to give them the benefit of the doubt and patience if they hadn’t posted that arrogant statement about being over prepared. Seeing that was like spotting the iceberg before the Titanic.
The rule is you are supposed to under promise and over deliver. They did the opposite, if they had come out beforehand saying they were new to this and going to do their best but might have some trouble than people would have been more than willing to give them time. Instead they came out charging like a bull thinking they were hot shit and look where it got them.
The least they can do is keep us up to date with how they are trying to unfuck the situation and they were doing that until they stopped doing it and discord is not an excuse these are the official forums and they should be updated before anywhere else.
All the devs are on their Discord and giving out the latest updates there. It is ALSO an official means of communication.

And so is Discord. They have the link when you start the game.

It says on the Discord server that it is an official means of communication.
They are posting there frequently.
It’s up to you if you want to be informed.
Speaking of Titanic…
I find it really odd that everyone keeps saying “All games do this” … as if we should just accept that decades later every boat is bound to hit an iceberg, sink, and kill off most of their crew / passengers. Even in a lagoon. Because they’re a small crew of 100 people and they need time to figure out how to launch a boat into the water without it immediately sinking in to the harbor.
Yeah, coding is complicated. So is chemistry … and we don’t condone new researchers constantly exploding the lab and releasing bio weapons into the world.
People need to stop condoning people being bad at their job, in important positions.

Yeah in the news section on discord i did see updates. I also wish it to be on the forums though since i dont like checking discord as much personally.

I was somewhat disappointed today, I took the leap from only ARPG I play since 1997, yes the D word, and bought the game. Server issues all day, disconnect, endless loading , minutes to get from one are to another…just unplayable. I didn’t buy it at launch because I was forseeing would be a poop show with servers, with the overprepared statement and all, I thought 4 days later would be a safer bet, silly me. Not a great first impression, but the game itself the little I was able to play seems good, I understand that it could take time, but then again they already have my money for a game I ca not play.
