Authentication problems and decay timers

Also they are “working” on extending the timers. They haven’t actually done it yet.

They have. I’ve refreshed all my buildings on the official server where I play, and my main base decays in 14 days now.

As of this post all american IOS PVE servers are good- no authentication errors.

Eight American PVE EL servers logged in- no authentication errors.

Now back to your normal regular programming of bugs and issues with CE- :grin:

It’s incredible that now that the weekend is over, the issue was magically resolved! What a coincidence!

@Dana - The lack of transparency and time taken to address things here has successfully persuaded me against purchasing any further content from FUNCOM. I’m sure I’m not alone.

Just do a perm 10 day decay timer at this point.

Things seem to be back to normal with me being able to log in.

It didn’t happen as fast as I would have liked, but I do thank you for fixing whatever the issue was.

Seems like the 9999 Ping Issue goes and in hand with the Authentication stuff.

Edit: No idea why my post was flagged.

Envie um ticket

Extending the decay timer doesn’t help unless the player has logged in recently to reset and get the new decay timer. You have to disable it, or anyone who hasn’t logged in will still decay.

I am a fairly new player. I was out for 4 days and every single thing I have built is gone. Event logs say all became unstable and decayed. What kind of ever-loving, mayonnaise licking, cat- scratching Taurus feces is that? I can’t log off a game for a long weekend when I am travelling for work, or I lose everything I own? This is such a great game, but that timer garbage is for the birds. I have never even heard of timers until this happened, or I never would have invested the kind of time I have so far to get to level 40 ish so quick. April Fools is a month away, so it can’t be that. Maybe you all should pool your allowances and think about going out and purchasing a few servers if you need space that badly. I will personally loan you some, if you pull your collective craniums out of your collective posterior sphincters and get rid of this nonsense. Not everyone can log in non stop to play (I dream of the day).

Do you know how the decay timer works? I’m asking, because the game doesn’t teach you about it at all, and it’s actually more complicated than people assume. I wrote a fairly long and boring explanation, so feel free to read it if you want.

Yeah, that sounds like decay, but what’s weird is that you say you lost everything after only 4 days. Were you logged out inside your base? Or were you logged out somewhere in the open world, away from home?

The map is finite. It’s not a procedurally generated infinite world like Minecraft. Imagine what would happen if there was no decay timer: for every player who quit playing on a non-PVP server without cleaning up their stuff (which no one does, let’s face it) you would get a bunch of permanently indestructible buildings, forever. Sooner or later, you run out of space to build.

Unless you’re playing in single-player or on an actively moderated private server, decay timer is necessary.

If you have only one base, a few minutes a week should suffice. Unfortunately, “shit happens”, so I try to log in at least twice a week to at least refresh my stuff.

If they made the decay timer longer, then people could get away with refreshing only once a week.

Esse é um ponto que não pode ser abusado pois fazer construção ilimitada ou gigantes em servidores oficiais leva qualquer jogador a levar BAN.
