So, I'm enjoying the Mega-D Invasion, but...

... I'm not. Not really. Because there were only two MCs up and as I switched instances midway through loading, "NOPOSSIBLEMAPS" showed up on my screen and now I've been "Loading..." for the past fifteen minutes.

Anybody else encountering this? I thought that if there were enough people in a zone a new one would open up. we used to have tons of zones before. what gives?


And after talking to a fellow player out of game, I now hear there are 4 MCs, none of which are full. and yet, I'm still stuck in a loading screen.

edit: Just as an update... nearly twenty five minutes of staring at a single loading screen. Sorry if the initial tone of the post was a bit snarky, but I hope you'll understand my frustration here.

    It's ****.
    And not even surprising.

    Don't worry. The zone events are bugged.

    That's all the people you just disappointed with an event that is broke for the second year in a row.

    Maybe some free emotes are in order to appease the mobs?
    Facepalm would be appropriate.
    Double facepalm would be better, seeing as this is the second time this has gone wrong.

    It'd be helpful if the event would reset properly too.

    Depending on when you took that screenshot, there's at least one less in either zone 3 or 4 that's disappointed with the event than you claim.

    Probably more than just the one.

    Maybe you should stop trying to talk for the playerbase as a whole?

    This is true. But I still enjoyed fighting the giant robots, and I will continue to enjoy fighting them, fixed or not.

    Sounds like you got caught in a race condition between the zone transfer and the server's zone management. Have you tried killing GameClient.exe from Task Manager and logging in again?
    Choose your enemies carefully, because they will define you / Make them interesting, because in some ways they will mind you
    They're not there in the beginning, but when your story ends / Gonna last with you longer than your friends

    The G is is nice, but its really only helpful toward those min/max build freeforms.

    Thanks, Sister Silicon, yeah. killing the game and restarting fixed it.

    (Apologies again about the grumping. Once I got in, it was mostly ok. It was just kind of a pain to hear my friends blowing the stuffing out of Mega-D's while I was stuck doing nothing)
