No dungeons till after this quest. Can't progress maps. Can't finish aetherites. Sidequests are locked behind MSQ. I've been spamming Raubahn for over 3 hours now. The only SB thing you can do at this point is take SAM or RDM into PotD (which is hardly "SB content"). This is unacceptable.

06-17-2017, 03:59 AMTheJarvisManThe MSQ issue is literally bottlenecking people out of SB content...

I agree it sucks, but it's kind of not surprising given how flooded the servers are. People have been queuing to log in for an hour and a half+.

Potd is crashing for me now, not sure that is safe anymore.

Aether just died a few minutes ago so maybe they're taking things down to emergency fix it

Three hours, that's all? Haha
Please devs consider making a q or an option to skip instanced parts of the MSQ. -
06-17-2017, 04:20 AMDeceptusSweet summer child, some of us have been trying since about 0500 CST. (That's 9 hours as of this post)Quote:

Well if you see any of the Lore police that think these gates are awesome/necessary game design, feel free to thank them. They are the ones that enable SE by supporting this type of system.

It's perfectly acceptable to SE until the official release. After all, you all are the ones who willing signed up for the glorified stress test that is early access. Never. Pre-order. Software.

Eh. It's early access, I'm not surprised. More importantly, gotta get dem levels for my SAM and RDM.
-
06-17-2017, 05:32 AMZojhaIt'll also be perfectly acceptable to SE after the official release.Quote:

06-17-2017, 05:35 AMVhailorThe worst part is that SE's short-sightedness in regards to MSQ gates is that it's likely amplifying server stress at this point. The system wasn't built to handle huge numbers of people clustered in one specific place, but that is precisely the scenario SE has engineered (and yes, this is entirely their fault).Quote:

06-17-2017, 06:03 AMMoonliteWhile some peoples issue might be stress test related. Mine is 100% design, this is a blatant design flaw. This isn't putting CS's in a dungeon social experiment. This is we have a gate early lets see how that turns out. Not like we have numbers on how many people will be at that gate. The longer it goes the worst it will get instead of 10k needing that instance it will be 100k.Quote:

"Early Access" isn't an excuse. MMOs don't have early access as the term its known for. "Early Access" means being able to play an incomplete game that is constantly in the works adding more until the official release. MMOs don't function this way unless you count patch cycles in which then MMOs would be permanent "Early Access".

Imo it's just bad game design having an instance so early in the msq which will guarantee congestion at the start of a major release.

And if we did not have Early Access the same would have happened at launch day and if they dont change anything about this then we will be standing there for even more days and click on Raubahn. Weekend is there so more people will log in (or try to do so) and all those people that did not manage to get inside of it before that will try it again. But since this is so early on and traps so much content behind it people cant simply do something else all the time till there is enough free space to get into the instance..I can already see that some people will be level 70 just by fate farming in this area due to not having much other stuff to do. (I crafted enough before SB..I dont want to do these things again when I paid them 50€ to get new stuff)
You cant even say that this is a bug or something that can always happen at EA or around launch time..no this is a very bad design decisions. Its even worse since its the second expansion so they should have known how many people use EA just from that old data..yet somehow they decided to use a solo instance right at the beginning... -

very simple solution, DO THE MSQ! it's not that hard.
-
06-17-2017, 07:42 AMFenlnirYou know what, you're right! I've been doing it wrong for the past 14 hours now. I should've just done the quest that I've tried several thousand times now to get into. Wow, thank you so much for the advice. To everyone who sees this, all you need to do, is just do the quest. It's that simple. :>Quote:

It is like watching Lemmings jumping off a cliff right now. They see there is a issue at the end because of all the players in the servers but they keep jumping back into the game just so they can be among the first to complete a certain content.

06-17-2017, 07:58 AMwizisi2kthere's a problem of when you go to do it there's an error on a quest. You cannot progress past then.Quote:
