I really hope they fix these issues so we can all play together.
I didn’t move myself but I’m not gonna blame the players that moved, queues were too long during 6 weeks if I recall correctly, I was lucky I could ask someone to log in my computer and queue for about 7-8hours so I could play when I got home.
Anyway, AGS opened a new region to deal with the queues since they couldn’t add more servers to the current region, so I guess they will somehow, sooner or later, manage this situation and give you guys a solution. (Hopefully sooner than later)
ye i know i stayed on EUC and slog through 14k ques on my server i coud have word it better (didnt meant to offend or blame anyone) just shared my view on this situation. But ye like a sad i do hope a solution is found also Valtan release will hopefully inject more ppl in those servers
For many of us, people that just work and are not willing to pay extra electricity bills for having their PC at home ran 24/7 - logging in to play 2-3 hours during evening time was impossible. It was either move, or not play at all and lose the crystalline aura/benefits obtained during few first days where things were not so bad.
ye i remember one time after hours in the que to finally get in only to be greeted by Error: cannot connect to server on character screen and get kicked out… not gonna lie small part of me died that day it was clusterf…ck for sure
It makes you wonder why AGS/SG did not prep for this at all.
Taking into consideration that botting is popular problem in west, and in KR they had ID system to prevent it while here there was absolutely nothing, they could build a proper solution before launching.
I’m sure that if there was some form of captcha when you log in, players would not mind it if it was to help botting.
Was AGS/SG just not able to see the problem and work on technical solution? Both AGS and SG have offices in the west, and are, hopefully, aware of current trends in MMOs - so we cannot just blame it on one of the companies
At that point, I would even imagine a merge of the EUW servers into EUC if that was possible. Some people might be willing to start again on EUC but most will probably just stop playing after investing so much time for this to end like this.
It’s sad but it was bound to happen. AGS/SGR worked on a fix for the matchmaking which came out few days after EUW was created.
I’m glad I decided to just wait it out while things were improving, and also sad my friends decided to go play on EUW at that time - I was already too deep to see myself start from scratch again.
You should read more the forum… In EUC they have to queue to play mainly because of the bots. They will never fusion servers to add more people to servers that already have queues and people is complaining about it everyday serveral times a day in the forum…
I am in EUW myself and I would also like to have more people for quest and more offer in the market however you should assume that until the bot fight is not over we have 0 chances of a solution for the EUW.
I think they got caught with their pants down (bunch of big streamers played) and the game looks very appealing so it attracted lots of the wievers too. I remember hearing that Goldriver wanted 200k (or somenthing like that) but he got 1.5mil
Botting in f2p game is whole diffrent beast. I feel like captcha woudnt do much since you can just run script that woud scan the screen for the letters/pics whatever you captcha is. Phone authentication is eazily solved with throwaway cards ID verification is no go (atleast in EU) etc… I dont know how they actually CAN solve the problem and i know they want to since the bots are syphoning money from them… dunno s bit sad tbh
Each zone on EUW I enter, has lots of people. Islands do, dungeons, guardians… I never have to wait for more than a minute or two.
We have multiple open sea channels, 10 or more, I get invited each time I step on an island, dont even need to ask.
I would even say, there are too many people at times, as it can be really difficult to get enough contribution on world events, or get the world drops for cooking and stuff.
Seriously, I can not understand these thread about “low pop EUW”, I am playing just fine every day.
g my main character i cant log in after boots update killing looks like kill real players like me i reset my laptop from fabric reset do everything too make back too the game looks like imposible to even get bypass 10010 i been enjoy game from day 1 never use vpn create another account too make sure im not ban still have same error 10010 are u guys gonna fix this issue or use multiple 3 computer at home too make sure is not my pc all of than have the same isssue even if never play on that pc still have 10010
This is a huge off-topic man, I reported it as such, but it seems like your network or internet provider is using something to alter your IP/Location. (router based traffic relocation)
That’s a lot over exaggerated. On EUW, there are way enough groups for Argos and Hard Abyss for end game content. I also can find all I need at the AH and managed to get myself to 3331 at reasonable price and time.
On Moonkeep, I often see tens of boat waiting on the islands’ spot as well many at dark portals.
The only thing I lost, moving from EUC to EUW, it’s toxicity. Even ‘Zone’ is worth reading in EUW Moonkeep. Dare doing that in the most populated EUC servers for more than 5min!
Trading off toxicity and queues for less items in AH and groups without impacting my progress and pleasure, that’s been the way to go for me.
i dont think so man im from miami usa i can see my ip is from area i try my mobile hostpot still haave same code after april 29 even create new account still have the same issue in new pc
I tried to find accessories for my Paladin and Bard and they are either extremely expansive (6k+) or not existing at all.
We have way lower population than EUC, but for the more popular classes AH may feel ok. For the ones that are low in player choice, the lower population is adding up, resulting in horrendous pricing or lack of accessories.
Gunlancer, 3331 all with right skill (Specialization).
I’m not contesting there are less groups and items, it’s an undeniable fact, just saying it is far from being dead to a point it impedes my progress (3 T3 and 3 T2) as ppl as stating it is.
Moonkeep is very healthy. I don’t know if the other servers are as bad as people say but if they are I feel bad for them. Moonkeep is packed and there are people everywhere. The claim that there are no groups for T3 content is an exaggeration. I complete all my abyss dungeons and Argos every week without any problem. For anything below T3, who cares? It’s still the tutorial. The one thing that I want is for the Auction House to be merged with EUC. It is still possible to get the gear you need but it would be a nice fix to some of the problems.
I also think to boost the numbers and keep a healthy balance they should just close EUC for a few weeks to new players, force them into EUW and give them XP bonuses and other benefits for doing so. FFXIV does this with its servers and it works great. You don’t see anyone complaining over there
Before this I’d rather we take care of the bots. Even if they hired gm’s to sit in Vern and early zones and manually get rid of them one at a time. At this stage I’d nearly be willing to attach my I.D. to my account like they do in KR. Steam have pretty every other detail on me, linking my I.D. won’t hurt.
Since when do you run dungeons below lvl 50 in a group? Don’t tell me it’s not possible alone - I did it with my first character which was a bard.
There’s always a group available via matchmaking for normal activities like abyssal dungeons (maybe not in lower tiers - therefore you should join a guild), chaos dungeons, guardian raids. For Argos & Co. a guild will fix “the problem” of not finding a group.
Server hiccups are normal. And as long as they are being fixed it’s ok.
Doubt it - always have a few english speaking ppl in my groups.
Aren’t markets server-wide? Well, the auctionhouse is definitely region-wide and it’s fine (beside the bot problem!).
Bots aka goldseller are the biggest problem atm! But you’re are not forced and definitely NOT ALLOWED the buy gold via RMT - that point is ridiculous. And if you do I hope you’ll get a perma-ban.
I’m sure there will be several changes if they are needed, but for now AGS/Smilegate should focus on getting rid of the bots and players who buy gold from goldseller sites. Which is obviously a huge problem for them so far…
it was clusterf…ck for sure
