WHEN WHEN WHEN are your supposedly servers coming ffs | Forums

People defending the implementation of maintenance on this game that we've all witnessed truly confuse me.

In the real world, when you fail your customers or audience there is reprimands and changes involved in order to preserve the company's image and reputation. The problem here is nothing is being done, there is no urgency. The constant flow of fluff features while the core gameplay and connectivity issues exists conveys the message that the priorities are not set properly.

The lag has existed since day one and you still cannot commit to a deadline to fix your extremely unique game. In what world is that acceptable?

As someone who has watched every Den since March, so near all of them, I am satisfied with the commitment they have made that there will be something in the next three to sixteen weeks. I take their word for it because

We have had a successful beta that shows proof of concept
We also know they have worked on P2P because while it has not improved for all, anecdotal evidence shows it has worked for some
When they have directly said that there are things coming,such as reworks, they have kept us informed and we know they are coming
They have kept to every one of their season pass obligations
When they have not been able to deliver something on time, they have told us why, such as the training arena being postponed due to needing to recertify the game for it or the reason parry changes did not come right away being because of the negative feedback.

Yes it is frustrating what many of us go through and yes a date would be nice, but they have earned over this last year the benefit of the doubt.

Considering they kept lying about the 000512 error for over 4 months until an official BBB complaint was filed, so that they can keep blaming player's end for the problems and P2P fiasco; I don't have the slightest trust in their word.

When words are worthless the only thing that actually matters is actions, and we are yet to see them. And sorry but no, the small amount of things that's been done is nothing in comparison to what should have been done in a year's time especially considering how broken they released their AAA priced product.

Just as long as half way through season 5 we don't get told they are going to have to be pushed back to season 6 for whatever yada, yada reason.

Because I do recall we were all told they would be out at some point of season 4 way back when.

So, yeah...

We were never told that,there was a roadmap involving season three and season four, if you look closely, all that map said was that work had started on them, they were not listed under either. They only told us that far out where usually they wait until closer to the time so we knew it had started as it was that big a thing.

https://youtu.be/Rp157U7QXus?t=1386 - they were very transparent in that they could not give us a date at that time because they did not have one. First we got an idea was them saying the team had had their first test run on them and it was close right before the beta.

I can assure you that there is no pushback planned for the launch of dedicated servers. They will be coming during Season 5 for sure.

You're making the assumption that because youdon't care about it no one does, I have seen people it does matter to, the fact that people join discord groups to co-ordinate where they put resources certainly suggests there are a good many.

I don't want to get started on the faction war on how pointless it is. Nobody bought this game for a top-down board game because this is off topic.

How hard would it be to say "the first reworks plan to come out the start of season 5, two weeks in servers will be out, three weeks in the next batch of hero reworks are coming out, 5 weeks into season 5 the last of the original hero reworks will be out."

Instead all were told is this is coming this is coming this is coming with no timeline. We know more about the Marvel movies coming out in 2019 then when anything is supposed to happen in this game.

You mean they changed the tune, actually...

Good try though.
But they did very much represent season 4 as the season they would impliment dedicated servers.
As I remember it being all the talk as well.

But it's all good, as I'm sure they'll be out in season 5.

Candle is right. We have never said that dedicated servers were planned for release during the Season 4, though it might have been confused to be since the information that they would be coming was released in conjunction with our roadmap for Season 3 and 4.

Again, I know people that are very into it, a casual dismissal makes that no less true. Regardless of that, they aren't telling us the date because they don't have one locked down where hey this will definitely be ready. They spoke about defensive meta reworks and the flicker fix when they thought they were close and they found out in the interim that it was not as close as they thought. They picked up a lot of flack for that,maybe at least a little rightly so, they have told us when they have a date they will tell us. They have told us that they know when the first set of reworks are due and they have added in two they did not tell us about, again it is a matter of are some in mocap phase, have they tested the buffs/reworks? They aren't going to tell us we have this ready for five weeks away and then in three weeks find oh damn this doesn't work.

Nice try but denied with just a little research. Firstly that article came out after the link I posted, on the same day but I know I remember it being posted afterwards.I remember because I recapped that, was keeping track of the articles on site and nowhere that I remember dd they say this is when it is coming out.

Secondly and more importantly, who is Mikel Reparaz? He isn't an ubisoft dev, unless I have the wrong one, he is the head of Vidjagame Apocalypse, a podcast, and a communications mercenary, whatever that is,on Ubiblog. Essentially he is a journalist.As for the mention of dedicated servers, at best you can say that Mikel's initial blurb was unclear and was not corrected on a proof read, but find me out where any of the devs in that article give date or season? The closest I have found to any kind of time is this from Damien

So it's a lot of work, but it's work that has already started quite some time ago. But it will take time, and it will go through several steps before we can release it progressively to the players.

So...where is the season in that? But hey if I missed something that came from an actual game developer as opposed to a journalist, point it out to me.
