GAME IS UNPLAYABLE

  • Just stating the obvious here since the new update. Content and revisions are cool, the server instability is out of control. Not having any issues with any other game, so it’s definitely not my end.

    The last community weekend and just before it the servers were smooth the weapons were working as intended most of the time. Looking back at why, how and what’s was done in those updates I feel is very important. I sigh of relief as Rare finally got the game stabilized. What went wrong guys?? Please fix it!
    I’m absolutely amazed at how many people that haven’t played for such a long time have come back to play again, not surprised a lot of them are stating “The Server Instability “ is the main reason for uninstalling the game. With ridiculous occurrences commonly known as “Been Rared” happening regularly. Any wonder there is so many angry pirates around.
    PLEASE FIX THE GAME!

  • @jellyfishapod2 an upcoming patch is due February 19th I believe (Emporium update) so no doubt there’ll be a bunch of fixes put in place then.

  • PLEASE FIX THE GAME!

    What is Broken?

    Currently ingame for last 4 hours without problems

  • @burnbacon
    Are you serious? Studdering, Mast bug, anchor bug, ammo bug, helm bug, cannon bug - all not working/grabbable when boarding enemy ships. No cannons on your own ship, unable to harpoon, unable to lift anchor after you've dropped it, guns have an awkward delay after a short sprint making it take even longer to shoot, client side hitmarkers are not client sided, loading into cannon cancels halfway through the loading bar, food reg, enemy boats not displaying any water in them even though they are sinking, merchant won't give you supplies, shipwright won't give you captain supplies.

    You know.. just to name a few. I could go on.

  • @jellyfishapod2 I'm just going to point out here that "being Rare'd" refers to having multiple emergent encounters at once and/or in combination with enviroment - for example, getting a meg and a skelly sloop spawning on you while the vulcano next to you goes off.

    As for server stability and/or bugs - as Drew mentioned in the latest news video, work is going into that.

  • I assume you mean hourglass? Outside of there I'm barely having issues

  • @hiradc There are some issues like minor glitches and rubber banding yet everything can be patched. Hope they fix these issues before the next community day!

  • @mopwieldinghedgehog I think a fair few people do also use being rared to mean when hit reg is not in their favor as well as having ALL of the pve come for their head at once. I think even hitbo used it in that context a few times if i recall.

  • @goldsmen Oh I'm aware, but I'm an OG so I'm giving the OG definition of the word. I'd prefer to not see it tainted by a "bad hitreg" definition. ;)

  • I'm with mop on this one; I've never heard anyone use "been Rared" as anything other than everything that can go wrong; will go wrong. I.E skele ship and meg spawning next to a volcano and then getting krakened after all is said in done WHILE you are attempting to chase a player. And I've been playing since day 1 of open launch. Bad hit reg is just bad hit reg which has been being "looked into" since like the begining of the game.. so still not sure about that...

    As for server issues; I'm having little to no server issues with the occasional server bugging out and your ship starts to sail into space then teleports back to the water when server catches back up. But thats more comical than problimatic in my opinion.

    Just to add since the 88g update.
    Great update!! Haven’t fixed a thing. Now worse then ever, sailed around went to reaper hideout shot from cannon went straight under the island. Found loot sailed back and DC. Instability is worse, weapons still unbalanced and community weekend is going to be soo much fun with this!! Reports coming in of uninstalling the game frequently. My goodness what is going on here?? I’m guessing the update was for PlayStation, perhaps fix before add would be a far better approach. Looking forward to console only servers. Looks like another flop update, waiting for next update to play. Thanks for ruining the community weekend that was announced ahead of time only to break it.
    Sea of bugs is becoming sea of no one. End is near I feel, such a pity for such a beautiful game.

    Doomerism as usual blah blah blah. Game is currently under maintenance, once it’s back up, things will be fixed and you can go back to forgetting you ever posted this.

  • Loaded into the updated game. Guild won't load. Restart game. Guild won't load. Restart Xbox. Load game. Guild won't load. Load into non-guild sloop. Deadzone still broken. Perfect.

  • @tesiccl
    No strongly believe they are killing this game

  • @wp-avenger so perfectly playable lol

  • @tesiccl
    We always expect fixes however the parts. Goes more like, something added something tweaked and nothing fixed.
    Maybe they don’t have enough money to pay people to fix it…. I don’t know, hope you’re right mate…. We are still waiting for fixes 5 years later.

  • @metal-ravage community weekend was a flop for us, didn’t get much out of it, dc was over the top. Very broken. Interesting though is that PC seemed to have far less issues then Xbox.

  • @hiradc you on PC?
    Oceania servers for me on Xbox, broken reports across the board.
    You are either happy playing a broken game, on pc or just extremely lucky.

  • @jellyfishapod2 series x, there has been some more disconnects since the very latest patch in adventure. I spend most of my time in hourglass where the game is truly buggy so it's all relative
