  • MessyRylo RyloMessy (@MessyRylo) reported

    @playnewworld Stop crying… and no I’m not defending Amazon….. I sat in a que the 1st day for 2 hours, then I did some research. I saw they opened up a ton of new servers. So I joined a low pop one and I’ll transfer my character when this all gets figured out No issues here. Wonderful game!

  • SWE_Motorizer SWE_Motorizer (@SWE_Motorizer) reported

    @playnewworld Gets in one time. Lag detected. Kicked. Ques up for about 35 minutes. Gets in for 20 seconds. Lag detected. Kicked. New que 1035.... It's worse than on launch ffs.

  • CriRacioppo SmeargleUseSketch (@CriRacioppo) reported

    @playnewworld ******* fix you ******* queues! Is impossible to do 5k queue and when u are at 200 he kick you out is a ******* scam

  • Eddie_v3 White Shamrock (@Eddie_v3) reported

    @playnewworld Credit where credit is due. You guys responded quickly to issues and worked hard to resolve them. That is appreciated.

  • JuusoVest Juuso Vesterinen (@JuusoVest) reported

    @playnewworld Can you please fix the queue in to starting area? Is there nothing i can do to play. I don't want to delete my account.

  • stevenicholls Steve N (@stevenicholls) reported

    @playnewworld Wait you dont have the ability to transfer characters already? that is a basic function of a mmo backend. But anyhow more servers does not fix the issue of making a character and then the next not being able to use it.

  • MAT5ON MAT5ON (@MAT5ON) reported

    @playnewworld What if 5 mins waiting dont work and problem exists for 1 hour now?

  • MaleNurseLive TheMaleNurseLive (@MaleNurseLive) reported

    @playnewworld i can barely move, LAG DETECTED

  • elshoeght Levy Elshoeght (@elshoeght) reported

    @Pakosni1 @playnewworld After reaching number 1, the game loaded it never got me into town before it crashed, could the problem be the town? The queue just doubled, another 760 people before me to find out, stay tuned! >.<

  • azvdg Gabriel Azevedo (@azvdg) reported

    @LvsyanLoL @playnewworld It is a Known Issue. You can check the Thread on Forums

  • Dracilio Dracilio (@Dracilio) reported

    @playnewworld @Chadesh It's not allowed but your servers are the fault. We don't need to go to these measures to ensure we can play the game in our free time and then possibly get penalised for it?? Fix your crap then maybe you won't have to address this

  • MaleNurseLive TheMaleNurseLive (@MaleNurseLive) reported

    @playnewworld im lagging so much, anyone else the same? playing on high server

  • PewTio Marcos Vidal (@PewTio) reported

    @Halt_Yipp @playnewworld Double betas same problem.

  • Gplangfield Gary Langfield (@Gplangfield) reported

    @playnewworld I got to 100 in queue and it keep disconnecting saying the login service isn’t available for EU?

  • XaryenMaelstrom Simon * Mental Health 💜 #BLM 👍 (@XaryenMaelstrom) reported

    @AGENT47MoMi @playnewworld I know I'm not the people you want to reach. I had this error. I verified my game, fully shut down steam, restarted PC, opened steam verified again, shut down steam fully and restarted steam... it was gone. Not sure what helped but I did all that.

  • TomShepNZ Tom Sheppard - Prismatic Studios (@TomShepNZ) reported

    @playnewworld The wars on Australia Eridu has broken the whole server. Most of the Covenant (Defending Brightwood) are frozen or teleporting around the map while the Marauders are taking our fort. There is nothing we can do.

  • TheNeighSayer Michael (@TheNeighSayer) reported

    @leeparkinson3 @playnewworld It’ll get better I’m sure. First few days have been pretty rough. Problem is, once you join a server you can’t move your character off it onto a different server so if your server is full you’ve no choice but to wait.

  • _tentaclemaiden Tentacle Maiden 촉수 처녀 (@_tentaclemaiden) reported

    @TheNeighSayer @playnewworld You literally just need to click ok when the error comes up and leave it for ten seconds and it puts you back into the queue at the place you left....

  • MobiusRosette MobiusRosette (@MobiusRosette) reported

    @playnewworld Nope, not working. Cannot create character, waiting 5 mins - identical result. Number 1 in Q, low pop, unable to load starting area.

  • Steelcryo Steelcryo (@Steelcryo) reported

    @Koth_Remulak @playnewworld Which error are you getting? Are you getting the mm_toomanyrequests while you're queueing? If so, just click OK then leave it, DON'T PRESS PLAY AGAIN. After a 30 seconds or so, it should put you back in the queue at your previous position.

  • realreynbow Reynbow (@realreynbow) reported

    @playnewworld in a defense war effort right now on eridu and the entire system is completely broken, half the faction stuck in town, people can't move and we lose because of a MASSIVE glitch?

  • qasmokegames King Qasmoke (@qasmokegames) reported

    @playnewworld I'm getting the error timed out while waiting for spawn point

  • SirArtLovett Squireson (@SirArtLovett) reported

    @GamerB3njji @Ferdina05338545 @playnewworld Its not really possible to just increase server caps, adding servers is all that can be done, when character transfer is added next week all the server issues will be minimised

  • Steelcryo Steelcryo (@Steelcryo) reported

    @TheMenmaro @Cyael @playnewworld Yup, doing any quests where you have to kill x number of mobs is nuts at the moment with the number of people doing it at the same time. Not to mention finding resources. I feel like upping the player cap abates the queue problem a little, while completely upsetting gameplay.

  • dedpohl Lucas (@dedpohl) reported

    @playnewworld Maybe you should fix my graphics card your game just grilled 2 days ago. Put that on your priority list.

  • KazhBBC Kazh_BBC (@KazhBBC) reported

    @playnewworld Im happy to see communication from you, you should also look at the stability when queuing, errors, crashes, that the game closes without throwing an error, that is also a problem

  • Whuffle Christober 💉 (@Whuffle) reported

    @DieBaardManZA @playnewworld Good old launch issues! It wouldn't be an MMO-release without the Discords spamming "WHAT SERVER ARE WE ON NOW?!"

  • DeepFocus15 DeepFocus (@DeepFocus15) reported

    @ZzaManX_ @playnewworld Would you rather the servers overload and crash because that's what the limit is there for.

  • keezdawg keezdawg (@keezdawg) reported

    @Steadyhand0 @Aztecross @playnewworld I get that it’s a bottleneck/gateway issue and not always server capacity…ie not enough lanes to get people through…then issues with game services, engines, etc. Someone will figure it out…guessing the investment isn’t worth it given it only happens during launches and DLCs
