Update New Source Update #11 27/01/17

I'm logging in everyday without an issue. Which server are you attempting to connect to?

 

Tell em Boss.

 

haha what u talking about xD i can log in just fine and do quest but thats about it but the game isnt BROKEN ty coders!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Coders hard work finally paying off!!!

 

i guess we will not be able to play until next year.

 

Again, people are on the server playing and bossing right now. There are a couple classes who need their skills fully implemented before their playing is back to normal availability but for everyone else, you can play and train. If you want to punish yourself and wait for a year to play, that's on you, but the game is up and running.

 

honestly this makes no sense to me, old source was working perfectly fine from a player perspective. Skills, pq, bosses, market and everything a player needed to call the game functional was there. we didn't really mind the few bugs in old source. Currently the server is "broken". So many skills are broken its almost unreal to compare new source to old source at this moment.

I do not mind waiting months, but please don't bullshit us with comparisons that doesn't make sense.

 

The thing is my bro, that royals has become in a pretty big comunity and it keeps atracting more and more people. Following that actions, dont u think the Royal team has to step up? making a sv at least near to perfect? wouldnt be cool to say that EVERYTHING in server works? Im my opinion that would be pretty neat. its worth the wait, for the promised new source. And like @John said the wait will pay off.

 

Can someone just drop me a PQ to level with? I'm damn tired of just savage blowing shit for slow exp.

And can ME and DS work lmao.

QQQQ

 

We are living a new open beta. HYPE

 

Please allow the character creation again, that's the only reason I'm not playing right now (I have one character but don't like it anymore)

 

talking about new players john.

 

Let's just consider this period as a closed beta period for old players to help the staff optimize the game - and nixing some known bugs. Some STEAM Greenlighted games with early access takes months if not years to be stable enough or sufficiently complete for the general player population to enjoy (e.g. Prison Architect).

 

That was a brand new game under development but the difference here is that maple royals existed before the source and it was working from a player perspective. Still this shouldn't be an issue.

My only concern is that with each passing day that the bugs remain I seriously wonder how they didn't see this downtime coming. That's some maaaaaad judgement.

 

I'm starting to think the new source might not be worth the wait for all the updates.
The server is really dead at the moment and by the time it's fully fixed (which will take more months) I think many will quit already and not return. It's not really worth having a more stable server and some more content when all the players quit and you have nobody to talk to. It could also lose the top nostalgic server spot to another server if it continues for too long, and then all the new players will join the other server so royals will be dead. I'd much rather play a server with some bugs but an active community than a better server but with dead community

 

let them die.
When the lead programmer does not want to update us regarding technical condition of the server. Probably he has something to hide.

 

IceCloud did you ever stop to think that maybe he has a life? Maybe he has something to do IRL? Maybe he's busy with something! What a concept, right?
He updated everyone when he had something to update with on the status of things. There's been no changes - he's working on trades, we're testing them out, he's fixing the bugs that we find.

 

biggest reward i'm thinking of right now has to be more open skele maps bro

 

The man can have a life, hell, it's even recommended for anyone - whether it's a player or a developer to have a life, but when you commit to something that was supposed to be done 35 days ago, you are not only causing frustration to the community, you are making yourself look unprofessional.
When players say that the server is 'broken' at the moment, it's because they experienced it in a different way before (old source, which worked excellent imo) plus there are better alternatives (other servers...) you can see that more and more players begin to complain lately. it only shows that this 'update' phase is lasting way too long.

 

All I ask for is that the staff stop using suggestive text if you know what you are saying is no where near certain. Because each time you say stuff like 'stay tuned there might be an update tonight *' is it to get us hyped? Is it to excite us? For what tho?! There has been no update within 2 days of me seeing that message. Please I'd rather you be blunt and honest coz sugar coating how long something will take is just annoying. Seriously annoying. If you don't know I'd rather you say it.

This has happened since January 1st. I know you are trying to get things done but you have to consider the fact that each time you say something and it doesn't happen it basically makes you look un-serious, to me anyway. But I am a player of this server and I would like to think that I can't be the ONLY one with that opinion.

You claim to not know when this and that would be out, and it's been made official that even your estimates are way off, so please stop making them all the time F5.

* Not exact wording but basically is what I read (Yes winky face included F3)
