yeah i am also on Slow and Steady challange, and i made multiple tickets that just get ignored. contacted GM directly and got told i need to create a ticket and it also got ignored. this is so fucked, i died so many times because of the ddos attacks over the last 2 weeks. i am debating if i even wanna continue when there are so little care from the GMs
The devs made everyone aware of the DDOS and that it will be some time before it is resolved. If you chose to continue playing a challenge mode that would obviously be effected by the DDOS situation, that's really on you. This game is free, no one forces you to try and play through the DDOS. Just be patient.
That's an incredibly stupid argument, and it's pure hindsight.
Nobody knew two weeks ago how long the DDoS attacks would continue or how badly they would affect the server. You don't get to pretend that the outcome was obvious after the fact and then blame people for making a decision based on what they knew at the time.
If your argument is seriously "you chose to keep playing, therefore it's your own fault when the server kills your character", then by that logic players should simply stop playing every time the server has stability issues. That's not a serious solution.
And you're still completely missing the actual point: I made multiple tickets about the problems caused by the DDoS attacks. They were ignored. I contacted a GM directly, was told to make a ticket, and that ticket was ignored too.
Nobody is demanding that the devs magically stop a DDoS attack. The criticism is about the complete lack of support for players who are losing progress because of it.
So before you start lecturing people about "just being patient", maybe understand what they're actually complaining about first. The fact that you can only respond with "that's on you" doesn't make your argument correct — it just makes it obvious that you have nothing useful to add.
"Nobody knew two weeks ago how long the DDoS attacks would continue or how badly they would affect the server."
Yeah, exactly, no one knew. My first thought wouldn't then be "Okay, now is the best time to play an HC/Slow and Steady character!", again this is free, you don't have to play those challenge characters now. Most of us can't play anything at all due to the DDOS, so maybe just play another game, or do literally anything else for awhile.
"then by that logic players should simply stop playing every time the server has stability issues."
I mean... yeah, obviously. You're not gonna live forever bro, why spend all day trying to login to a game experiencing a DDOS. Life is precious. Try reading books, there's some truly amazing ones out there.
"The GMs ignored my tickets!"
Yeah, probably because we're in the middle of a DDOS situation and they're getting about 2000 tickets a day. Not to mention, the DDOS itself probably makes it difficult for them to send a reply.
"Nobody is demanding that the devs magically stop a DDoS attack. "
When the discord channel existed there were players on every single day of the DDOS so far asking the devs to magically stop it. These kind of demands were in fact non stop.
"The criticism is about the complete lack of support for players who are losing progress because of it."
They've given updates virtually every single day, they gave us a free pet, and they said they would look at future compensation when the DDOS is actually over, which completely makes sense, and they said that really early on. You are completely misconstruing the situation and the dev's response to it.
"So before you start lecturing people about "just being patient", maybe understand what they're actually complaining about first. The fact that you can only respond with "that's on you" doesn't make your argument correct — it just makes it obvious that you have nothing useful to add."
Sorry if it came off as a lecture, but your response to it is SO over dramatic to be laughable, you're clearly just having an emotional response to something that is a frustrating situation for everyone and you're just lashing out at the devs and at me.
Do better.
