This is getting ridiculous. Just open more servers and people can actually PLAY THE GAME! Nobody will have to wait, and we can ALL play (if you've got it downloaded,  X3). Is it that hard?

For my first OSW, my morale for this game just went -20.

And believe me, I was PUMPED.  :l

I'm still getting the hang on the aerial view of Cantermare.

Go scream at the team that can't fix their broken game.

DO NOT COME UP WITH SOME "WAITLIST" IDEA AND IMPLEMENT IT WHEN IT WASN'T THERE IN PREVIOUS OSW EVENTS.

End of story.

I'm pretty sure that the aerial view is not a waitlist. It either goes away in a second or you're stuck there forever.

I can get on the servers, I only have an occasional lockup on the character selection screen. It only says "Loading Pony Characters...". It's no big deal.  X3

I'm ok with enforcing rules, but could i get an explanation of why i got a 5min kick.
Someone I follow on tumblr also got a 5 minute ban, that appeared to be a perm ban.
Make sure to check back if you also got a 5 minute perm ban O_O

thats due to over loaded servers, when I went on a random hop of servers.
The servers with full player slots that I did get on had slow character load up. After a reboot of a server they loaded up almost instantly.

It is a wait list but when its running it gliches when overloaded lines and then locks up and no one moves in line to spawn.

its just a spawn anti-flood gate that locks and no pony spawns.

Replace "Waitlist" with anything else that wasn't there before...

"Do not come up with some "Pets" idea and implement it when it wasn't there before"

"Do not come up with some "Crystal Kingdom" idea and implement it if it wasn't there before"

Get it? So stop complaining everypony. Sure, it really sucks that this OSW is turning out like this, but hey, the previous ones were great, weren't they? And I am sure the LoE team learned something from this as well. I am sure at the next OSW (at the latest) it will all be fine again ^-^

Thrasher Dash

Can you remove the arial view plz?  >A<
If you see Princess Twilight (Unicorn) or Thrasher Dash (Pegasus) that's me!

They should focus on 3 major things.

1. leveling system for pony`s (exp, skills, point pool, things that are in rpgs a d expected)

2. wait list. get rid of it. you can do a anti flood at login or do a wait list for pony selection. The wait list crashes and locks up and then no one can spawn.

3. should have 2 server run all the time and 1 server on private for testing, the OSW is not long enough to implement updates and not test them live. The team needs alpha testers that can be on as much as possible and stay in touch with the team to test whatever and whenever they needed it tested.

I have alpha and beta tested for 15 years and this OSW is more like a stress test that should be done in beta stages and LoE is still pre alpha.

Do not get me wrong, its fun but more like a roll play, pony chat, dancing, faced hooved, and less of a rpg MLP game.

How great. I'm stuck in the aerial view of the mines and now I can't play. I've tried going on all of the servers but nope, still stuck. I've waited many minutes each time and I still couldn't get on.  :c

I realize this weekend ended up being a flop for a lot of people, and I have a feeling the majority of people who wanted to play the game haven't been able to and likely won't be able to. I feel especially bad for the first-time players who only just joined up and likely weren't able to play a game that looks like (and is) a lot of fun when it's working properly.

The DDoS at the beginning was of course an unexpected problem caused by some guys out there who had nothing better to do than to ruin everyone's fun. The server login issues are of course another matter. Every open weekend I've been in has had a problem with the sheer volume of people trying to sign in. While it probably could've been handled better this time around they were likely trying to avoid some of the problems the previous open weekends had and it ended up backfiring. If nothing else they've learned a few things and hopefully future open weekends will more successfully avoid such problems.

Then of course there is also the fact that each additional server costs money, a lot of money most likely. Yes it would be awesome if they could afford to have enough servers up so everyone can log in without issue. Hopefully they can do so in the future, but if they can't afford it, they can't afford it.

That said, the amount of rage being thrown at the team is a bit ridiculous. Yes they are aware of the problems, yes they are doing everything they are capable of within their ability to do so, but they are only capable of doing so much and yelling and hating on them doesn't help anyone. Be happy a game like this even exists in the first place.

For me, I lost, I repeat -lost- my only chance to play this weekend, and while I am upset about it and have voiced my disappointments the amount of vitriol being launched at the team is just saddening. If you're going to complain, at least try to be constructive about it. Raging for the sake of raging just makes their already stressful weekend even more so.

Server hop and only sit on that screen for 30sec, keep doing that. You will get out. I was stuck there too  ono

We know there are issues and are working on fixing them.  Posting about the same issue over and over again does not help us work on them faster.
