Seems to still be down.
The game has been out for 6 days...... I have played for hours and only been interrupted twice by server downtime for a total of 1:15. Things happen when you dump THOUSANDS of people into a game that you can't expect when testing. Now if this goes on and on for months that'll be a different story. For now I'm fine with it. Also read the chat box once in awhile they do announce it now with a chat message.
you know sledge and his buddies are reading this laughing at all the bs that people pull out of their ***** lmao..... i know i am lol
For those who wonder WHY a game gets released before it is "completed" and has no bugs, I am almost certain most of you are the same people *****ing when a game takes "too long to develop."
Guess what: You can have the game released at the speed of QQ, or you can have a finished product with no bugs. You can't have both.
Maaaaaaaaaaaan, I need to start checking this thread before I leave for my lunch/Defiance break.
Thx for update. At least it seems to be running a bit better the last 2 -3 days, and not as much lag.
Heh, I made so much money summoning people to the starter cities to train. "Hey buddy, you got some levels there, need a train, I'll summon you for a thousand gold."
For those to young to remember Shadow bane, it launched with so many bugs that for the next six months most players played for free. This was because it took them so long to fix the game that no ones free month really ran out due to down time and other issues that kept coming up. So yeah, Defiance, is a pretty amazing launch when you consider it's not one platform, like GW2, but three.
^This man, yes.
They are patching three different clients, two are on a console, one is a big gigantic pain in the Pow with constant server issues (coughxboxcough). They are honestly pulling off the impossible with these patches and frankly should be given a medal, presented by Blizzard and Arenanet.
This thread is off the hook. Too many dweebs getting worked up over server maintenance. By the time you're done making a grilled cheese, eating the damn thing and washing it down with milk the servers will be up and running again. <3 Relax
Improper testing is not an excuse. Better testing leads to better at launch games period. This is not quality work even if you think it is fun it's not quality. All I'm saying is we need better quality from our game makers or we will be the ones suffering in the long run. Might not be today or next week but in the future if they are allowed to produce crap it really lowers the bar of our expectations and requirements. Stop being a sheep and think fo yourself.
Anyone who has gone through the luclin update, will never complain about server issues.
were like the soldiers in the battle of defiance, we keep quiet and calm and never talk about it.
These updates are appreciated. Keep up the good work!
exactly. You can't know what full server load will do till release. There is no foolproof way to test it. And when you get thousands of eyes looking of course you'll fund more bugs.
but the bottom line is- people whine to much. Its week one, when the servers are up it runs phenomenally 99% of the time, at least for me and the girlfriend. So the devs at Trion can take the time they need as long as they keep fixing things. Its worth the time.
and anyone pissy about the downtime just go kill 45min finding arkcodes or looking up how to properly do arkfalls and not shoot the little hellbugs.
Holy Crap...1030am for 45 minutes. Ok lets see...that would approx 11:15am PT. That translates into about 1pm CT. So why is my server still down? And its not my connection...DEFIANCE SERVER not available. #thisiscrap
Why does everyone bring up a car to compare a $60 game to? In 2006 I bought a brand new Ford Explorer, drove it off the lot with 8 miles on it. 2 weeks later, the seal for the sun roof was leaking, so I brought it back and they fixed it. In 2008, a dash light went out, so I brought it back and they fixed it. So if you really feel the necessity to compare the two, realize that they aren't that different, and stop whining. If you spend money on something and it isn't working properly... don't you WANT someone to fix it? I sure do. I just got home from work, logged on, got booted off 2 minutes later, big deal. I will get back on in 45 minutes.
In this games case they had to release it at the minimum by the shows air time. Early allows you to interact with main characters from the show in episode quests. They were on a time crunch plus this game is being worked on for 3 different platforms.
Coding takes time and beta testing only gets you so far. Trion is excellent at updating and patching for content and performance. You want a perfect MMO your dreaming and lack some basic software knowledge. If you understood programming at all you would shut it.
Honestly, if you are going to complain and expect perfection from something like this then you should never have purchased the game.
Last note its not like this is a EA game that updates for **** Trion does well with make sure things improve.
Its kinda funny that (relatively speaking) it really wasn't that long ago that it took mail 7 days to cross the U.S. and some people can't wait less than an hour to enjoy a good game.... If you absolutely can't stand the wait times here, go somewhere else. No one is forcing you to play this game.
