  1. Not sure on the cause, but that battlemetric image doesn't give the full picture. It's actually much worse because many servers are still showing as online but not working as reported above. For example; Valguero 725 is showing up in the session list, and battlemetrics shows it as "online." However, everyone gets "connection timeout" when attempting to join. If you constantly refresh the session list you can see people keep trying to load in, but player count always drops back to 0. It's been this way for ~4 hours now.
  2. My server is down too. There are other reports popping up on the forums as well. You should think about making a proper report via this link:
  3. Not sure if you saw the original Crunch, but people are saying it's 2x because it was originally 2x. They didnt update the Crunch post for awhile after they changed to 3x which added to the confusion. I am still keeping the hope alive that they will make it 4x. To be honest, I can't shake this idea that there was some closed door meeting where it was decided; "We don't want to do 5 times with the free epic game release, but I think 3 times would be okay. Let's give them 2x, then quickly change it to 3x as a 'compromise' to make people happy with it not being higher." Not trying to crap on the work of the Devs or community managers. I appreciate that 5 years in, there is still work being done. At the same time, I cannot rationalize how we had 4x for two weeks during Easter but not during the anniversary. EDIT: GP Beat me to it by 1 minute XD. Well played sir.
  4. I don't think that 3x is going to get people to calm down.I dont think they are going to pack up their things and move on. They waited weeks for this, preparing for an amazing event. The event got pushed back another week, which built up even more desire to have it. People planned ahead, took days off of work, stopped doing normal gameplay to work on breeding, made massive numbers of trades, etc. All the while planning for higher multipliers, mainly 5x breeding. There is already a change.org poll on twitter for 5x. Everytime I open it, there are 100 new votes. Personally I downloaded the update, then saw the breeding rates. I am still sitting on the menu screen without logging in. Even at 3x, I am disappointed enough to not even join a server.
  5. Sorry to tell you brother, the consensus from a lot of the community on this rationalization is essentially: *shrug* There are already 10-30 second spikes every 15 minutes for saves/transfers. It's become so normal to me that I use it to time transfers without checking a clock. Those of us who played through the Easter Event already know what to expect, it was not that bad. The only issue that I had was my server being at max capacity for 18 hours a day and having to wait to get in. What a huge problem to have, everyone wants to play because of breeding! LoL XD During Easter Event was actually the first time I have seen multiple servers at maximum capacity. I think that should tell WC all they need to know about how players feel. Most will take 4x or 5x breeding over potential server performance issues.
  6. FIrst, Happy 5th Anniversary to all. I don't think I went a single day without hearing the "5x for 5th anniversary" rumor. I am sure that someone from WC has heard or discussed this. Anytime I questioned "What if it's not going to be 5x?" people would point out a myriad of reasons why it should be. Not going to lie, I was secretly hoping that it would be. No real news on the specific rates then the event delay happened. Everyone was super anxious as seen in other threads. Rumors + event delay + lack of news = recipe for people to get really upset if the rates are not great. Fast forward to today. I set an alarm to get up early for the event. Find the community crunch. I read "2x breeding, 4x everything else" and am sorely disappointed. WC, I am happy for your anniversary and the event, but breeding rates are what the people want. I hope you consider changing the 2x to at least 4x like the others.
  7. This is exactly how I feel. Different playstyle and mindset on PVP vs. PVE. I came from playing Rust and the wipes were necessary as a pvp-centric game. We were happy to have them. You either get too strong, the server dies off as people get raided, or you have been emptied out. There are servers with weekly and monthly wipes, some modded servers are even longer. In any case, the wipes are an integral part of that game, keep things fresh and interesting. It allows you to play from primitive to endgame in whatever way you see fit over and over. PVE Is a whole different ballgame. It is typically more casual. Play at your own pace, learn the game, not forced to pull full day sessions to keep up. In my case, we wanted to learn the game playing PVE, we hopped to 5 or 6 different servers until we found one that was suited to our skill level. It took us days to understand the mechanics and play half-decent. a month before we had passable tames and were being more efficient. In our case, playing PVP would not have allowed us the time to grow. Not wiping after months of playing gave us a chance to learn most things so when server transfers opened we were confident in exploring other maps knowing we had a home to go back to. The people who feel like they wanted a different playstyle went to PVP.
