I’m expecting a bit of chaos. Server meshing is great, but there are other backend systems that struggle when we get up to freefly player count numbers.
Most likely inventory issues, ship spawning issues, maybe even broken elevators for those just getting out of their habs… But it will be a good stress test now that things have been (mostly) stable.
Frankly for me during these free fly evets I tend to just not play at all. Too many trolls and cunts hop in and are just brazen assholes to the rest of us who just want to run a bunker mission, mine, salvage, whatever more along the solo/pve side. I accept I’ve probably run into more asshats than others, but after all these years and seemingly getting stung by the streams of stupid that plays freely, now’s the time I’ll just not bother at all. Usually if I rant about this on spectrum/whereever I’ll just receive the ol git gud treatment. Shrugs.
I’ll go touch grass now.
I actually spent some time playing today and the whole experience was pretty wholesome overall. Servers worked fine for the most part, newbies were showered with help, everyone chatted and had a good time. No excessive hostility either (beyond the usual bickering).
Dunno if this will stick through the weekend or the rest of FF but day 1 was a nice surprise.
Oh totally. I don’t expect it to be perfect, I’m just curious how SM and the backend work since its release will affect the usual Free Fly problems.
