Phrozen 32 Posted November 3, 2021 Nice of somebody to document this. Since it's 5am here it's possible the game world just crashed. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I try to be proactive, since not everyone gets discord notifs, or the brunt of the initial tidal wave of gossip.

Jeronan 9 Posted November 3, 2021 Yesterday it was lagging like hell, so it wouldn't surprise me if the server has crashed. I fear people are being dicks and using the old exploits again, which are known to cause server instability. Maybe they can just shutdown Clan Vaults and ingame mail, like many have proposed before, to stop these known these exploits at least. That is why we never can have nice things. /sigh 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Either way, I have a feeling that it's not just a dupe thing, considering duping was so rampant before that there were thousands and thousands of pieces of skewed data. Nobody's duped millions of items yet, if even close to that. They'll work out the kinks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jeronan 9 Posted November 3, 2021 Yes I know, but why even let them try it at this point? This is pretty much just a goodwill gesture by Orbit to bring the server back online so people can play again. Disabling Clan Vaults and ingame mail is really not detrimental to overall gameplay and it at least would put a stop to the worst of known exploits. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mail right now has honestly been crucial for people to help each other progress at the moment, and seems to be working wonders for the new market. It'll take some feeling around to see what's best.

Phrozen 32 Posted November 3, 2021 I would argue that mail is a mandatory feature. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
