Anybody else having this issue right now?

Goblin Squad Member

Oooooh, you're in troooooouuuubllleeeeeee!

(Nevermind, I cannot get in either. I'm hoping to be very happy, very soon.)

Goblin Squad Member

Yes. I believe there is an update/patch happening at the moment.

Not 10 minutes ago Ryan announced in game that they would be taking down the server. It may be related.


That would be way better than the alternative, considering I that I did, in fact, get into some trouble....

Not sure about patch .. Ryan mentioned some weirdness with the system and cycling as a way to fix it ... Patch/upgrade would be fantastic that I didn't get that impression from the in-game announcement.


@ Keign While I have you here... I have +3 twine now. I just needs 16 +2 Weak Varnishes and I can start kicking out +2 long bows (4 of them!)


Oh yeah, there was a lot of weirdness. A lot of us were locked out of certain of our characters.

Goblin Squad Member

I apologize for teasing you, but it was a bit funny. ;)

@sspitfire: Awesome. Too bad I don't know where to find a +2 Weak Varnish recipe. In fact, if you traded me the +1 recipe (I thought you had...) then the game ate it, because it was missing from my inventory(ies) when I went looking. Not sure what happened, there.


(not to me it wasn't!!!)

When I try to re-load, there are several files that "re-Load" since 5 minutes ago.

Still "Can not connect to ****a.goblinworks.com"

I know a source. Also, I have a +1 and +2 weak varnish recipe in my inventory still. If you give me first dibs on what you make I might could lend one to you ;)

This is it, there were a bunch of, what appeared to be, de-sync issues. Enemies weren't reacting in combat, people were unable to login with certain toons but could with others, that kind of stuff.

On the plus side de-sych can be a handy travel exploit - point in the direction you want to go and hit R and CTRL and go make coffee.

I'd gladly make a trade for it, but I am uncomfortable offering 'dibs' on anything right now - especially when I have no idea how long I will have to test the new crafting system out. ;)


Yeah that is the big hold-up, isn't it. It just occurred to me that I might not be able to even complete a +2 longbow before EE starts.

My +1 longsword took 3 days, I have stopped using it because I am nervous about it taking damage.

The time required for T1 items with crafting broken means no-one is really going to make these things to trade. They are barely worthwhile for personal use.

Goblin Squad Member

Is everyone else pacing the floor, wondering what is taking so long? I would not expect a reset of the servers to leave us waiting. Of course, I do not know what the process entails, so this is basically my impatience showing.

CEO, Goblinworks

When I left Taylor was going to reboot the server. Looks like they have found other problems. They're not patching tonight, that I know of.

Goblin Squad Member

Hey, 0107 EST and the system stops me. So, that is not all a bad thing. I need sleep anyway. I do have an account question I will post in another thread, because I got the OK from the wife to have 4 active accounts (characters). Dang! I'll have my own little army!

Scarab Sages Goblin Squad Member

Best of luck to Taylor and the night crew!

Goblin Squad Member

Good luck night crew. Thanks for all the hard work. I know it's a lot of stress, but you have our support.

Interesting - I have the de-sync problems since day 1 of version 8.

My experience:
Bad network increases the chance of de-sync
Slow computer increases the chance of de-sync
Certain times of the day increase the chance of the de-sync

About 'save travel'. Doesn't work. You log in again and find youself 'de-sync dead'. With luck you see how you are killed - but more likely you find yourself at a spawn point - unsure how you got there.

Same here but only on one particular ISP I can use.

Never happened at all In Alpha 7 but been a curse the whole time in Alpha 8.

This is different though cannot even log in at the present point in time. "Cannot connect to alpha.goblinworks.com" .

Goblin Squad Member

Ryan made a post on the GW site (on the 22nd) saying they weren't going to bring up the alpha server for a bit.

Ryan said:
"Update to Alpha Stress Test We are still working on the update we planned to deploy on Saturday. Until we have completed that process we are not opening the game for the Alpha Stress Test. As we mentioned in the blog last week, if you have Open, Explorer or Early Enrollment please wait for an email from our MailChimp system informing you that your access to the Alpha is available before trying to log in or download the client."

Goblin Squad Member

I was having a problem as well. Could only log in one character... which happened to be my crafter...

I'm still seeing this, anyone else?

Goblin Squad Member

Same. Someone from GW will pass by to let us know that the server is running I am sure. :)


I am getting the same message "Cannot connect to alpha.goblinworks.com".

Cannot get in.

As I was leaving at about 19:30, Taylor was going to reboot the server. They have apparently had problems bringing it back online.


That's all fine. I'm studying Dazyk's Quick Reference tables for States/Effects and Buffs/Debuffs so I can up my game when the server goes live again :)
