Restrictions Being Lifted on 20th Feb

[Kacenova]

Can anyone tell me how bad it is on the smaller servers?

And also, never really been at a 'login queue is full' screen, so I'm going to use a reference screenshot:



When you have that gray screen, to you just leave it up and wait for the game to put you in the server, or do you click 'Cancel' and click your character again to get in, and if the thing pops up, keep repeating? Out of curiosity, my friends have told me that if you log-out in front of the plot, you get sent back to the main aether for that ward near the residential guy. Anybody able to confirm that?

What's the button to refresh the launcher? The 'World' icon when it's purple/red/green for maintenance or live, or do I close out the launcher entirely? I'm just trying to figure these out, just to get a heads-up. Lol

They are talking about the world status button in the launcher. when the server goes down everyone is auto-kicked. But then what you do is you open your launcher and then every couple of min hit the world status button, this then refreshes that status of the worlds being offline / online. Once the world status is refreshed and it shows green then you can log in. this is the method used instead of closing your launcher and then reopen it all the time.

Thank you, that does help me. Out of curiosity, what about the queue box? Do I need to click cancel and try again to get in when I'm at the character select screen, or does leaving the gray-box put me in an auto-queue that will place me in the world when I my number is reached? Or do I need to click cancel then repeat trying to get in at the character-select?

We all could, just.... you know. Get large. More wards and more large. Since everyone has that much nowadays.

Add more wards please. you are adding functions for people to purchase their personals.

That click cancels and then back in, only really works on small queues. if it is a large queue then it won't work, you will have to wait your turn to get in.

The easiest thing is just to wait. Unless it is an extremely long queue, it won't take more than a couple of minutes at worst before you are let in.

So, quick question... If you logged out near the house you want, do you log back in right where you left? Or does SE kick you out because reasons?

No, you will come back to where you logged off unless there was some sort of serious error somewhere.

Cool, thanks. Wasn't sure of SE kicked everyone back to the ferry or something out of some sick schadenfreude of watching players trample each other as they scramble for the house they want.

Not sure if they do this for housing, what are the odds we can download the patch BEFORE maintenance ends? I download 4.21 an hour early. Anybody else think it'll be the same way? Not sure if every patch is like that where you can download it before maintenance ends and the server goes back up. I never have logged in at the patch time when maintenance ends. Anybody think its a safe bet we can download it somewhat early to get it out of the way to optimize how quickly we get in to get a house?

I usually log in several hours after maintenance ends.
