Distant Worlds II Event Servers offline after the first jump of Distant Worlds 2. Come on Frontier!

It appears that way (and I didn't realise this happened tonight, otherwise would've probably avoided logging in to be honest).

I was on a roll mining Void Opals, one Core rock after the other... if I lose my cargo because the game didn't save correctly, my goody-two-shoes CMDR will turn into an explorer hunter out for revenge.
They are in a private special snowflake group. Can't get revenge.
 
I'm kind of surprised that anyone thought a mass jump of that size was going to end any other way.

Its been made pretty clear by past experience that the infrastructure isn't upto the task of handling all those transactions at once.

Hate to be a killjoy...but its true.


This wins the Internet.
 
'Issues Detected' here too :(

I was just going to try my first Thargoid hunt tonight as I've just got my first couple of L2 Gaurdian weapons...

I'll have to talk to the wife instead [haha]
 
i've half of a mind to say that nothing fdev could have done could've pervented this. We're talking about THOUSANDS of people jumping at the same time. No server survives that kind of stress test, its pretty much equal to a DDOS attack.
And honestly? Im amused, its not every day people can coordinate to that point.

Well then maybe for as soloers shall I dare to bring back the off-line mode discussion??

I don't take part in DWs or in any other community or multiplayer event. I just play SOLO. Do you get it Frontier? S-O-L-O.
I don't care about community events. I don't care about PvP or even multiplayer PvE.
It is just me Vs the BOTS. That is all I care about.

Separate the GD servers, Do something so us SOLOers don't get affected Frontier..

All of the rest of you go enjoy your MMO experience.. But for goodness shake give me back a STABLE SOLO game.

So this was all caused by the explorer nerds going on a field trip?

Time for all the rest of us to dust down our PvP ships, set out after them and pick them off one at a time. Slowest, weakest and sickest first. :-D
 
It seems I will spend my few free time playing Star Citizen tonight.... This week the PTU is open to all backers with a lot of ship to try out for free...

600i here I come!

Best of luck with that. We do carry protection you know.
 
So I have actually come back to ED after a three year break. I remember back then that there were server issues, surely Frontier have improved since then?

Naivety on my part perhaps.

Ironically was about to embark on a DW expedition of my own, I guess that will have to wait.
