Seriously, nobody expected all this problems? If every time its the same with Cryptic.
Every new season, every new special feature (winter event) Every new game (Neverwinter beta) we have the SAME problems.
Because its the same problems every time... and we complain the same every time... its a game.
SO, Was it just me on WOW and EVE when they had their massive crashes AFTER A LIVE RELEASE UPDATE? This is the first LIVE RELEASE UPDATE!! IT was still beta before now. The legacy of Romulus is the First chapter of the continuation of the story where the movies left off. IS anyone else up to date? WOW..... I feel like I was walking through a mental ward with some of the talking. To talk about it as if it is a surprise the launch failed, we knew it would have an issue, we knew it would be needing an update to fix the "hiccups" and we all talked about it. SHEESH ..... way to tell the team they are appreciated for even creating the stuff for you to see on the tribble. The TEST server is a PREVIEW PLAYER FOR CONTENT people. It means you TEST the ITEMS THEY ARE PROGRAMMING FOR MAJOR UPDATES AND CONTENT. As the flight path of a ship is already programmed, and marked and all they have to do is make a skin to cover the codes it is not listed as a MAJOR CHANGE.
IF you want to quit, fine, however you miss out on the real game. I have had the patience to deal with this for years on other games after they were doing EXPANSION UPDATES and were down for MONTHS!!! STO gets back up within hours to days and WOW took SIX MONTHS to UPDATE!! You think this is complaining, they didn't even have a support like the forum to even get an explanation. You just got a *the game is temporarily unavailable and we are working to restore it. We are sorry for the inconvience."
I feel like most come on here to do what they do just because they want the game to fail and the team to lose hope and quit. Lucky for you people like me will be here to tell them as the one in the hundreds of posts that I believe in the job they do and I appreciate them. Instead of Thanking them for responding quickly and politely telling them you are awaiting an answer to see if there is a solution, you act like they took your cellphone and threw it in the water. *shaking head* Would you want to recieve that kind of flack if you were doing your job? Would you like to hear what you are saying for doing what was told for a way to earn the money they use to feed their kids? Less we forget, they have family as well and with that comes the sacrifice they make to make you happy and the LAST thing I see on here is a THANK YOU FOR THE ANSWER!. I am at least happy they were nice enough to say they were working on it. WOW took TWO WEEKS to say ANYTHING!!! That is why I am here!!!! I will stay here, I like the game and I like the way the staff replies and works.
The feedback pages are excellent as well. Here you get to help write the game, and again you complain about what you don't get or can't do or want... post it as a suggestion in a positive way instead of saying "EPIC FAIL" and see if they respond better... consider it a challenge. I would love to see the forum rants be more suggestions and talking of what worked for others. That would mean we are all ADULTS like we show our kids to be. *shaking head* to think some teenager can see these adult members demand the answer and treat everyone like trash means they follow the example... Would you want them doing the programming in the game after they saw you acting that way to model the behavior in turn to give you that kind of customer service and say" you get what you give" LOLOLOLOL

I wonder why the queue isn't working (i might have missed the post about that). I'm f2p, so i expected to be queued in some 10K-ish position. That's supposed to be in place to help Golds log in earlier.
I call Bull**** on that rumor I'm a Lifer and I can't get to the Character Select Screen and Log on.
Damn you man. This is exactly what has just happened to me. I was playing happily when my game got stuck at a loading screen and I had to force the system to close.
Try to log back in - BOOM. Login Failed.
The unwashed masses are clogging the tubes. Back! Back I say! We must hold the line against the vile peasants!
The line must be drawn hereeeee, and no farther!!!! :mad:

LOL I'm not mad at them ... Figure they doing what they can .... BUT.... If they are taking the time to read this longwinded message and not working on the problem then yeah I would be upset with them ... lol

Wow! Someone who's intelligent! BTW, isn't Pliocene hominids another term for trolls? At least, with respect online etiquette? And you're welcome. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who isn't having a tantrum right now. Although, I am admittedly disappointed. I would think LTS'ers would be lucky enough to at least get into game. I still think regionalizing their servers, instead of having a single World Server broken up into Shards and Instances, would be a better solution. Blizzard and Bioware use such regional servers successfully, and 98% of the time, the maintenance cycle affects them all at the same time. I can understand if, monetarily, this would be an expensive endeavor for Cryptic, but, if they started saving up the money now, they could implement it within a year or 2. And, after that, bye bye server instability. Then they'd only suffer this kind of issue on Expansion day, instead of every patch day. Oh well...
I would be most upset if they had regional servers to be quite honest. I have made very good friends in the United States and Australia that I would otherwise not have met, or at least not all at once. Not only that but my better half is in a different country, so I would not have met her had the servers been split in such a fashion.
As for Cryptics issues, from what I understand of the server architecture employed for games such as STO, where it shares certain hardware with other products (in this case Neverwinter Nights and Champions Online) the only hardware that is physically shared is the proxy layer.
This layer is what routes all the incoming and outgoing data packets to their correct destinations which, if my information is correct, is partly what allows people to communicate across all three of Cryptics games. Were they to increase the amount of blades in the proxy layer as well as increase the bandwidth dedicated to this hardware then we should see a massive drop in communications disruptions.
If someone with actual working knowledge of multi-platform interconnected gaming server architecture could verify this, or perhaps one of Cryptics own staff, I'd be grateful. After all, I don't want to go around making assumptions.
Well, just attempted to login after the patch, I am unable to get into the character selection menu. Keeps bumping me to the user name/password screen.
The message "Login Fail for Unknown Reasons" keeps popping up.
Is it a server load reason?
Is it that the NEW content keeps crashing?
Is there an official link to and official answer for this problem. Hoping it gets resolved soon so I can try the new content out.
I am playing #neverwinter right now. With my new cat cape from the catastrophe!
So does that mean NW is actually on a separate server after all?
"Rise like Lions after slumber, In unvanquishable number, Shake your chains to earth like dew, Which in sleep had fallen on you-Ye are many they are few"
man it took 10 hours to get the patch installed and now i can't log in like the rest of us. I'm starting to think there is no LoR its all a trick to sell those packs and the real launch is next week.:(
It's good to see that many people seem interested to come back for the new contain. It's bad to see that the server cannot cope with it. An I apparently also one of those that didn't received my extra character slot. I've created one character, before supper, when I was able to logged in and I cannot create more. But that was the slot that I already have. And I couldn't create a Reman character neither, even if I have 3 characters that completed the reputation.
I'm just going to see how long the Server Not Responding gets up to before I get tired of it
