:) well said
1350 this is the number of days what is passed since Adobe announced the end of flash. Just saying, no pressure guys...........
the new unity based game can´t even handle the test server, how will it handle the real world game with all the players logged in?
this does not bode well for the unity version…
new delay in 3, 2, 1…
The Unity Test Server does not have the same capacities as our live environment, there may be longer loading times or decreased performance. In the first hours of the launch, we saw a lot more players than we expected. We were working on our server, so access should be much easier now.Quote:

you weren't expecting players to test the game they've been waiting to play for months now? :D :D
this is why i said the game wont be able to handle the "real world" environment, because of remarks like these.
time will tell i guess...
It's server capacity, not Unity functionality. Live servers have connection capacity related to the usual traffic, so does test server. Servers can get overloaded by "too much" traffic. Overloaded test server (at first launch) says nothing about performance of live servers. They should do just fine as with Flash. If Unity demands more traffic then Flash, which I assume it does, capacity of live servers will be increased. No need to worry ....... :)Quote:

It says ALOT about the issues that can be there few months from now.
Tracy Island, Buzz lightyear. are you getting the picture.Quote:

and people thought that cyberpunk's launch went sideways :P
this launch timeline set by BB looks a lot like a mexican soap opera :D :D :D …being that the only difference between the two is that the soap actually runs :D :D :D :D
…i must say, BB's programmers must be the worst in the world. i just have a question, do you guys look for the worst or are they just atracted to that company? :)
maybe the covid virus did,,, so that there fever at work at BB
:D :D :D :D :D :DQuote:

Please - pretty please wait - don't implement anything until you have a version that actually works.
I don't know what you fixed- I don't know if you implemented the fixes to the test server. But if you did not, how can you know they works??
I do know that when I last was online on test, it was not a well working version. If you put that mess online you will make people stop playing.
I also know that I have not been able to log on to test for around 3 weeks now.

With the quality of support you will shut out players one by one, when their island data is corrupted, and they are told that it is a known issue, that it is already fixed or that they must reset cache. Only thing I did that can have caused my problem is to sell settlers in harbor.
I don't think you will find many players that are so keen on this game that they will set aside 2- 4 hours a day to sent out specialists. Or put up with the time differences between server and game, and the zone refreshes and the ..................
The "live version" is different from the test server - it will contain updates.
Well that is somewhat not very convincing. We know from the past that must new stuff BB makes has lots of buggs, so a new version that has not been tested, please no.Quote:

There was too much non-functionality in what we were able to see and I don't think "live" version will be much better then that. Which will probably result in my very reduced playing after bugged Unity version goes live. In my mind there is no doubt it will be bugged.Quote:
