*Golfclaps* I like many parts of the game and would like it to succeed with F2P instead of fail, that doesn't make me a shill. Grow up guys.

I mean hell if they can get the servers to stop making GBS threads themselves it's honestly one of the better F2P options available. My experience with SWTOR was horrible, what else is there? Rift?

You are now the thread centerpiece.

I'm playing on some asteroid where some weird old lady's husband is shipwrecked and apparently I need to wait for someone else to join before I can finish? I thought I was in some solo instance but apparently not, and after doing all this poo poo I have to wait for another chump to wonder in before I can finish it. I'm only level 6, who thought this was a good idea?

The "waiting for 1" prompt means that there's some checkpoint the game is waiting for you to stand in before the instance can continue.

The die hards are back to the "people complaining clearly never remember WoW expansions"

I seem to recall they managed to address expansion congestion with something more than "working on it!" three days out from launch.

Very good communication game! I followed the quest direction arrows to the exact spot they pointed me to and ran around in that area for about ten minutes before giving up

I solo'd that like a week ago, so unless the F2P transition broke something this is your fuckup and not the games.

And now it's back to normal? Odd. I think the gear I had bought had really messed up stats and potentially why they did a reset. Had like 900+ pvp power/def on my weapons...

Having to open up a second "megaserver" because apparently your megaserver is just a normal server with everyone transferred on it is probably the best Just Wildstar Things I've read in these threads so far.

For maximum comedy reasons I want to believe it is just a regular server renamed, but more likely the truth is probably a bit more complicated than that.

Like it's probably something like the zones can be instanced and those can scale like a true megaserver, but there is some kind of singular backbone component that for whatever reason they forgot or failed to make scalable (like maybe some global database or the auction house or whatever), and that component is being hammered now just as badly as it was during the original launch week when poo poo was hosed in exactly the same way.

I gravitated towards the Greens, eventually even joining the party itself.

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...

Apparently, when I let the game update and patch to the newest version a couple days ago, the launcher just stopped one version short and settled me with the last beta-client again. Some research and looking closely at the client in-game made me finally aware of that fact. So the reason I couldn't connect to the game was my faulty assumption I could actually depend on the launcher patching up to the right version.

Now I have deinstalled everything and started installing everything fresh: With the beta-version scraped from my HDD, the launcher now actually installs the "real" client. Since this is taking also hours, for some reason, I can literally shutdown my computer the minute the install is finished and try playing again tomorrow, on day 5 of this shitshow. Another day, another try.

Bullshit like this makes me very, very happy I never paid any money to the makers of the Wild Star. And it also makes sure I'll never give them money in the future, period.

Let's see if I can actually make a character tomorrow. Or if one of my beta-characters survived this mess. If I get network errors again however, I'll put this loving company on my blacklist of devs to avoid, right under EA.
