I'm not sure how fixing an exploit isn't meaningful, I also have no idea what you were expecting given that this was a hotfix and it was clearly stated that it was an emergency maintenance, not anything planned. I would have been more pissed if they released a bunch of other stuff and completely overlooked the exploits.…
The servers are up. Also, they did provide an ETA, it was just a number that they likely pulled out of nowhere because I don't know how anyone could expect them to be able to predict a realistic ETA given the situation. Furthermore, this is a beta, and it's kind of cute that you wanted to insult supposed entitled kids when…
This is still about 70% more coherent then most of the rage posts. Apparently the servers are back up right now in any event, or at least showing as green.
If anyone is seriously considering trying to get refunds or whatever, then ask support because even if there is a legitimately useful answer that gets posted here, it will be buried under a sea of contradictory/raging nonsense.
I feel bad too, and I didn't think for a second that this would be a game killer, and honestly, the majority of people raging/talking about quitting will probably be back too. I'm sure there will legitimately be some people that quit, but eh, nothing that will damage the population. Honestly, until tonight I thought there…
Last I heard was it'd be up roughly an hour and ten minutes ago. With something like this, I can't imagine they can give an accurate timetable, but I also sincerely doubt it'll be more then 24 hours.
Does your polling data account for the Siamese twin debacle I mentioned in my post? Because, by my calculations that makes it only a 74.444444444443% chance that all statistics are made up. I went to college you know, for statistics. Oh, and law, that's why I know that all the exploiters are eligible for the death penalty…
Well, 37% of the 100k players are effected by this and have lost approximately 24.77 real dollars, not to mention there's the 12% of that 45% of level 60's that got there through exploits. Also, of that 100k, 18.4k are actually accounts that are the same people, plus there's also the 4% Siamese twin population, which…
I whole heartily agree, but at the same time, I'm not going to start spending money on something that is in a beta. Once the game is in an official launch point though/I'm still playing and interested I might start spending money. I'm not trying to be negative or anything just...warn people I guess, that stuff like this is…
...I feel like you don't quite grasp how little it means to be banned on a F2P game. I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm all for the accounts of exploiters being banned, and even if they didn't announce they were banning them I'm pretty sure it goes without saying that yeah, they're going to ban them. I'm just more concerned…
I agree whole heartily with the progress stuff, but I think you're underestimating the problem. I think the main issue is people feel that 7 hours isn't enough to fix the issue, which has apparently been going on all weekend, so there will be a much longer lasting effect on the economy, which is a big deal. I wish they…
I'm just throwing it out there, but it is possible that they were working behind the scenes, punishing players who were doing the exploits while searching for a way to fix them. Look at how much people rage when the servers go down for just a few hours, imagine how much they would rage if they were brought down for an…
Even if I had been actively playing the whole 7 hours and was losing something with a little more substance...eh, I think at most I'd be posting in more of a bitter fashion, but that's about it. I'd probably be more peeved to if I had spent any real world money, but given that this is still very much an open beta, I have…
I admit I only skimmed the post, but I do agree with the part about the community. I've been out of the MMO scene for awhile, so I honestly just assumed this was par for the course as far as MMO communities go, but I've seen some reviews (ChaosD1 being the big one) that have said the community is particularly bad compared…
Eh, I feel for the guy, but if he can level that quickly then he can just do so again and probably even quicker, sounds like he knows what he was doing.
It is a beta though. I don't think it is a liability thing, more the fact that they wanted to make money, so they launched what they called an open beta. That is exactly the reason why I have not spent a single dollar on the game and I'm baffled by anyone that has. I mean, okay, buying a founders pack or whatever is one…
Golly, it's almost like they have something else that's really important that they're working on. Not to mention the fact that just inbetween my previous posts which were all under a paragraph, about four new pages spring up, just imagine how difficult it would be to keep up while trying to post something with more…
From what I've seen from the majority of the posts, it won't. But, to be fair, a lot of the angry posters have been raging since the start, would have found something else to latch on and rage about etc.
