I hope it gets better this weekend. I am away next weekend so was planning on a decent shift. failing that FD needs to pause the timers as players losing 10s of hrs of progress and credits due to bugs their end would not be right
Elite Dangerous | System Colonisation Claims Unpaused
- Thread starter Paul_Crowther
- Start date
you are quite an optimist mate - aren´t you?
I feel you - although if I could not have claimed yesterday, with the other 4 Systems i still would have enough to do ~ 800 Kto....
...................
no
I for one would much rather have a queue to get in so I know straight from the start if I should just go and do something else than just have my active session terminated at random intervals.
Is this, what they say in the industry, "working as intended"
jk@Paul_Crowther . OK, I'm utterly fed up. Which is the correct grind, cos I'm obviously doing it wrong. (a) fly to various starports, find a colonisation contact that is enabled. Ask to colonise valid, available (green) system, get red box "system claim unsuccessful". (b) ask repeatedly to same effect. (c) relog between each ask (d) try a different starport (e) try in horizons. (f) relog repeatedly. (g) just ask random colonisation contact for random one-star system until you find the one that you personally are actually permitted to colonise. Whats the mechanism, please. Obviously not all CMDR's are having the problem so clearly i'm doing something wrong.
They made an announcement that they were load testing the servers and monitoring the situation, that's why it's a Live beta.
Both Fdev and you and I are testing the servers, Patience
to be fair after I posted things got better and I managed 30 mins hassle freeyou are quite an optimist mate - aren´t you?
yep. I had to bail on the system I wanted however my 2nd choice had a working colonisation contact. I had 4 or 5 drop outs when trying to deliver the beacon but once I managed to stay connected it all worked. this was around 4:30am UTC (I woke up early and decided to give it a shot. also my carrier only took 15 mins to jump
O7 Commanders. I tried playing last night but the error messages were endless. If I go out to the guardian area or 500lys outside the bubble for some exploration will the error rainbow snakes stop?
Always try to laugh if you can't cry any more tears. This served me well in the past.
Has FD actually responded to this problem or are they leaving us alone with it over the weekend?
Oh seriously it has imporved quite a lot since some hours ago - at that time every 30 - 120 sec an Adder came along.
Id you are referring to the claim-contact, they initially upon switching it on stated that they preserve the possibility to switch it off anytime if necessary
My colony is gone. What now?
And have it all go to pot just as it is now as the mechanics that worked for the couple of thousand total each day that did the beta cannot handle ten times as many.
They did mention it was a load test.
Said load test does seem to be failing under the volume and impatience of the players however.
The load should taper off I think, fatigue and the ever lengthening supply lines will leave their mark. Even the FC jump times may lengthen again - it was back to 15-20 minutes just half a day ago.
I was puzzled by this when Paul posted it on Feb 25th. New features in any piece of software are invariably imperfect and need some work after first release. All the more so in ED, in my experience.
The last few weeks have been an indication that Colonisation is 100% a work in progress...
Not Work in progress = Feature complete. This means...
No npc help added for credits. Observing stations during construction quarter/ half complete. Rather than one magically appearing at the end. That sort of thing. No other frills will be added.
Does include, tweaking some numbers, and possible optimisations and fixing bugs, that's it.
