Join the Stress Test Event!

Greetings Colonists,

On Friday 24th, at 19:00 UTC we will be conducting a server stress test to gather important data on server performance to allow us to fix, debug and improve the game. The more players we can get in one place for this period, the better!

For this, we need your help!

From 19:00 UTC for a period of two hours, we ask all players where possible to conduct their activity, mining, crafting, fishing, hunting, etc, on the Port Atlantis Server Area (image below).We will also be hosting a Dynamic Event on the server with extra special loot during this time, to provide players with extra incentive - don’t miss it!

Exact coordinates for the event spawn will be notified ingame at the time of the event.

15:00 for east coast Americans, 14:00 for central, 12:00 for west coast.

I know you have business hours over there and are already working late, but if you can manage to push back even a couple hours, you might get more numbers?

IDK, I don’t work for MA, I don’t know the metrics and primetime windows.

Signed,
Not a frustrated NA player that misses the majority of special events.

I might come only because of this.

If you could host it on Saturday instead you would get more people I think, especially from North America.

I am quite certain MA has access to what times have the most people online and have taken this into consideration.

Bring out the old freds, GL everyone :slight_smile: Saturday would work for me, but friday unfortunately doesn’t.

@Socrates|Mindark Might want to add this to the in-game Poll, would give it the attention you want. Simple ask if they will be there yes/no
And then, after, you can ask what kind of problems people experienced through the same system

Pew pew pew time!!!

Too bad I have plans on a friday night. “Extra special loot” sounds like happy hour. Does running against a wall help stress testing and get me extra loot? xD

Enjoy the test. I hope enough will be collected and good conclusions will be taken. As I am currently on NI, and off during weekend no chance for me to join.

Don’t worry Socrates, I’ve trained for this kind of testing at least 320 times. I’m ready!! And excited to help ??

I mean you are asking for trouble here hahaha.

You say “Special Loot” in this stress test event but yet if the servers die then no one will even get that “Special Loot” hahaha.

I will actually try and take part though. (I am due a huge mutli) I need to break that max wall of 3K hof size in 23 years somehow. :rolleyes::giggle:

Everyone should spawn their pet too. The server pet will loves it! :whip:
