yeah, just leveling an online char and it's still slow between zones, sometimes 30s sometimes 3 minutes. Will probably get worse as the numbers climb. Off line char is in mono's if online gets bad

If you start an offline char can you transfer them to online?

Nope

DanF · 23 Feb 2024 at 14:26

if you want to try circle of fortune then offline is fine, just need online for group play or trading

Online seems totally dead now

I wonder how badly the server issues are gonna hurt this game long term. I imagine the peak players would have been a lot higher without all the issues and the volume of negative reviews on Steam that will never get updated definitely gonna sting a little.

MadMossy · 23 Feb 2024 at 15:08

They won't be a problem for long. The issues they have are not capacity related, they are AFAIK using aws so ramping those is as easy as a button press.

The issue they have is their backend systems that handle data transfer, where a handful of bugs are causing bottlenecks.

Judd the ceo will do a full technical break down once the issue is resolved for those interested in network technology.

It's certainly not a good look that there have been all these MP problems and some criticism is rightfully earned due to this. However, I also feel that a lot of people are complaining to an unwarranted degree, especially those who are review-bombing, simply because you can still play and use the product, unlike most newer ARPGs that are released purely as a "Game as a service" bs. Some props should be given to EHG for getting the true offline mode into patch 1.0.

I really wish more people had taken the hint and just played offline for a while...it wa so obvious and expected that they wouldn't be able to handle day 1.

That doesn't excuse the issues but if more people had been realistic they'd have had a better time and lower blood pressure.

I played offline day 1, got my necro to 74, been online since on a falconer. Currently 68 just blasting monoliths.

Yrkoon · 23 Feb 2024 at 21:01

just made a new single player char and not played it since may, are the enhanced graphics included in that patch?

dirtybeatfreak · 23 Feb 2024 at 21:19

Servers were great for a hour or two after a patch, but now they seem to have gone to poop again

edit: oh another patch - might be me then

AStaley · 23 Feb 2024 at 21:29

Just played for an hour or two and transitioning between zones is much improved, a fraction of a delay but nothing to frustrating.

Darujhistan · 23 Feb 2024 at 22:30

Nearly 200K playing, with less than ideal servers at the moment (I assume) - so that's quite an achievement for a smallish indie studios first release i'd say.

Pal-World, Hell-Divers and now LE (albeit on a much smaller scale) smashing AAA/A Live -Service garbage like SSKTJL and Skull and Bones to pieces.

Good times.

DanF · 23 Feb 2024 at 23:12

servers been pretty good last 30 minutes, but think they are just patching and restarting them again

Crikey, thats an acronym, save me the braincell usage , whats SSKTJL?

Parky · 23 Feb 2024 at 23:23

Yeah I've been fine for a good hour or so just blasting monoliths from level 29 > 42. Looks like a short downtime again going off the discord update.

Warlock starting to come alive a bit now, chthonic fissure feels pretty nice to just drop and amplify the spread of DOT effects. I'm not reaching mega levels yet, but can quite easily spread 50+ stacks across whole packs so far. Hopefully I can get some good gear to drop now and start boosting the damage.

Ahhhh thanks

The server issues will probaly drop off after a week or so as people probably leave the game

Are you finding it fun at high level? How many hours you put in to get to 74 in 2 days?

iamtheoneneo · 24 Feb 2024 at 01:12

enjoying it so far, lvl26 and just hit chapter 4. Playing offline as don't really see the point of online really.
Nice to have something fresh to play
