Based on the overall trend I wouldn’t count on server stability at all this weekend. It’s on track for your classic delayed viral PC game success. This weekend or next will be like a 500k+ peak concurrent on steam alone imo.

God only knows how many PS5 players are gonna purchase it either, since nothing like this that is good has come out there recently.

The game is spreading like wildfire. Gonna be the biggest sleeper hit this year most likely. The bones are so good I think if they can keep doing a steady stream of content it might end up being one of the bigger multiplayer games around.

Must be wild to go from a super niche series with a few thousand players to literally hundreds of thousands of people playing at once. I'm inclined to cut them slack on any growing pains it has. i've already gotten more than $40 of fun out of it.

Game's at roughly 40x the first game's peak on steam and counting, pretty understandable that the servers are on fire

The other planet uses a different layout for the base that makes it infinitely harder.

They’ve released multiple patches since the ridiculous version of the escort mission showed up on the new Automaton planets. I’d be surprised if it’s not a narrative device, whatever that even looks like in a game like this.

Was playing a blitz mission with my brother and friends and my game CTD. Which somehow caused all of us to softlock after rejoining the game and completing the mission

Now none of us can get in :negative:

are you guys getting rewards from missions? I've done two now, once in Quick Play and one that I manually joined from the map, and both times it kinda bugged out as it was trying to show the stats screen. No medals, no req, no supplies (which really sucks because we scoured the whole ICBM map on the first one.)

Yeah I'm hoping I can get my resources because I got credit for the 15 medals for "extract safely 3 times" on a null mission.

It also only applies to XP and Requisition, neither of which I even need anyways. Medals is what most people are looking for who have played for a bit. That and samples especially super rares.

Also it's kind of annoying there isn't a separate voice line for picking up super rares (if that's what they're called). Your guy says the same thing as with the rares.
