Dude... you don't have apologize to anyone ESPECIALLY the forum police. Everything you said was a million percent valid.

That is speculation, and it's wrong. We had a similar load with the public beta and absolutely no issues. So, it's something out of our control, and the new backend company (Heroic Cloud) is looking at the problem as I type this...

Only Cyberpunk was a new AAA game and this is a series that I've invested probably close to a grand into over the last 18 years...

I am so disappointed I bought this game on launch purely for Perfect Team, as my online leagues aren't making the switch yet.

As a developer I'm conflicted as I wholeheartedly agree with the "give it time" support seen in this thread, but I am entirely justified in my shared disappointment as today's issues were definitely known... It is near impossible that they weren't aware of these issues if it was tested for conflicts before launching the update.

Just glad to know I'm not the only one who feels like this. And I'm not giving a "Well, you just lost a loyal customer!!" Karen speech, I'm still trying to get into PT as we speak. I just want to play a game that I enjoy and I'm frustrated that I can't.

Same here, trust me...

You know in some games when there are major server delays they toss out a freebie to make up for it...you know like everyone gets a free Perfect Pack...

Can't hurt to suggest/ask, right?

Com2Us used to do/does that in Summoner's War...

For me the account creation went smooth. But now I am at can't find team.

Someday it has to be all good. Right?

If only they had done pre-orders and had a past history of sales numbers, and a few beta runs, so they could adequately test new code and anticipate server load.

I tried to let the apologist on here know Markus and team aren't victims of somebody or some new server. But it does no good to pile on at this point. It will be ready when it's ready... hopefully before the end of the 22/23 season.

In the meantime, let the people who want to bitch, complain. They have a right to.

The game came out 10 days ago and maybe he got excited that the delayed feature he wants to play finally got a release date and update patch only to spit error messages in your face?

Not sure how you'd have a similar load, but if it's not a load issue, then what is it? I'm actually curious because I've dealt with this kind of stuff for years until....

... I ran and managed my own servers. <--- you guys should probably consider having in house servers at some point. It's the only way you have total control of any situations or launches. Secondarily, AWS is the best way to go if you don't want the in house maintenance.

Tazilon · 05-03-2022, 03:00 PM

Is PL not up yet?

When I try to log in I get a Bad Gateway error.

That was a good one! I’m actually six. And it's raining where I'm at, otherwise I would gladly take you up on your offer.

How do I get the software to send another email validation? I never got the first one, and there isn't any button to ask for another.

I do want to say to Markus that I do love the new improvements to the single player game. Some major QOL changes I've sought for nearly a decade (Like the Shop-A-Player overhaul is A+)... But it's clear OOTP has put most of its money making marbles into the Perfect Team bag, so we got hyped up for this update after the disappointment of it not being ready with day 1 purchase.

I'm sorry I accused the devs of "pretending" to not be aware, but I still find it hard to believe that this is completely random and unexpected, at the very least the OOTP team was mislead by "Heroic Cloud" on it's successful functionality if they handled all the testing on their end.

I'm pretty sure I bought OOTP 22 in March last year. Now it's May and OOTP 23 still isn't working fully.

Sure, it's not the end of the world and there are worse things going on, but I think it's okay to express your displeasure when something like this happens.

Agreed

schwinnen · 05-03-2022, 03:12 PM

I can deal with the delay, but the bigger concern is losing confidence in the product. Once it's working, can I play the game without worrying that it's all going to need to be wiped clean at some point?
Can I buy perfect points and packs and be sure I'm going to get what I'm supposed to get?

The only thing I do enjoy when things like this happen is the amateur hour IT support. It definitely helps pass the time and I'm sure they are very thankful for it.

This was part of the thought process in making an account on here LOL - I know I'm annoying but hopefully at least somebody out there gets a kick out of it
