So every time even after hard restart they still invisible and can still be on server after everyone else gets connect issues naw he is a cheater weather it be a lag switch or cheats he downloaded plus another player seen them all run 5x faster try the server out bro everyone knows they cheaters on the server and if you can’t clearly see the two of them invisible you’re blind they killing everyone on server the same way
Stop and rethink that sentence ROFL! If I cant see something that is invisible I am blind. Well jiminy cricket I must be blind. I cant recall one time in my life I saw something invisible. Nope.
Language barrier I think? Because I am sure you were told that desynce causes this. Lag causes people to look like they are running fast. Lag can cause you to have infinite stamina. I personally run from the mounds to my base out of stamina because my base causes so much lag when loading in that it never registers that Ive ran out of stamina. Yeah. lag switches and hackers. Ok dude. well this isnt the forum for reporting cheater or exploits.
BTW I know you are probably more use to games like CoD or DBD where the entire match is tied to one player. But lag switches dont work like that for hosted servers. If you use a lag switch it affects you and only you. EI your booted from the server because your ping went above 140!
Please don’t mix up the two issues here: one is you think a player is exploiting, and the other is you are demonstrating symptoms of connectivity, hardware or other problems. Are you playing with a Pro or a Slim, using WiFi to connect your PS4 to the web – potentially 802.11n? If so, try hardwire instead. (Barring that, try 2.4GHz connection.)
Use Share and get PS video of the cheating (or do a “replay capture” of the preceding x minutes), and there are about a dozen players in the PS4 Forum or Players Helping Players who can help you get the video, as others have suggested, to Exploit Hunters.
It’s OK folks…
The free play folk will leave after they start having border disputes in the overly cramped noob river area, get sandstormed and they run out of food trying to heal themselves from the health regen perk being nerfed so hard.
Just bare with it for a week. The numbers will crash soon enough, after they notice that everyone built over the closest iron nodes blocking them from getting a sandstorm mask and the influx of party-gamers start bricking obilisks and blocking off areas of the map.

I’m glad PS Plus released this game, because otherwise I may never have tried the game. I bought the game on PC too actually because the servers are full and also it looks much better on PC anyway. I don’t mind the empty servers, and in fact I chose the most empty server I could find so I could play on official server but kind of offline with just handful number of people around.
Why so many “I disagree” comments? The op clearly did not state anything along the lines of “get rid of them, I don’t want them here” and made a suggestion the sorts of priority login.
I think we ALL agree that the more the better. We don’t want the game to die, obviously, and the more people that can tag along and enjoy it is a plus for us in terms of gameplay and also the game itself to keep it alive.
I do however agree with a priority login.
Why not? I spent 280hrs already on the server I am on. Log in daily and now am in end-game content. Why should I wait for say a dozen newcomers, free or not, to log in at the event that they all crash-land on the server to check it out?
Its not like the suggestion implies to kick already logged in players. But if it has reached the point were there is a queue, then yeah, I totally believe those with the most hrs on said server should get a priority. Not total hours in game, on server alone. I could be new to another server, I sure wouldn’t expect to have a priority over people there that have been on that server for say 6 months.
This leads to multiple servers too. I know it might be too much for some. But I have already set aside a few servers I like and once end-game content and whatever else gets stale on the one I am on I can start playing on the other too. You only need to log in once every 7 days anyway to stop decay, and in any event that there are too many people on a server you can switch up and go to another (or, the opposite too. I actually sometimes switch up when there are too few people on the server and I am in a more social mood to play with others, hence jump onto the another server with more people on it).
I rather think Conan being free on PSN saved the game for this paying customer. I hadn’t played since about end of October 2018 (due to a combination of other games releasing and the people I played with moving on). Three more of my friends picked it because it was free, and a few others returned to play with us on a private server. I wouldn’t be playing now (and buying more DLC) if it had not been released for free on PSN for this month.
As others have stated, the surge will most likely pass, and official servers will go back to your normal.

I got the game for free through Playstation store; however, I just spent the $80. For 2 Eason pass, year 1 & 2… I guess, I’m a paying customer, now?

Server priority is not the answer. It should be first come, first serve. One reason why is if somebody is running around in circles abusing the idle system with a rubber band on their controller they are going to rack up a lot more hours than somebody who is playing legitimately. A queue, although a good idea, wouldn’t help much considering how long a single play session is (especially the rubber band f**kers). You’ll still be waiting hours.
Changing what considers somebody idle (such as how many objects a player interacts with in a given time instead of just standing still), in my opinion, would be the best option until people switch to next month’s free games and the population settles down.

Or being able to port your character over to open servers. Not your gear, holdings or followers, of course, but your feats and attributes. Another idea is the queue but weighted vs. your playtime already on that server. If a player is truly invested they should be seeded further up the queue. This would at least recognize the game’s core play group which seems to be the issue with displaced players feeling abandoned by the game.
I think the one month free offer for ps4 player was a great way to promote the game. Propably alot of people gave the game ago because it was free and them maybe hosted their own server and bought DLC and invited their friends to it too.
Its free for those who downloaded the game during the free month, after that all new players must buy it. Many of the psn plus subscribers also bought the DLC and/or hosted private servers. so its more money to Funcom, which allows them to invest more into the game.
Many ps4 gamers didnt buy this because of all the negative reviews. Now thousands of new people tried it and talk about it and game is receiving positive press. Its a good situation for Funcom.
Its free as long you pay for the psn subscription, but ONLY if you got the game during the free month. Say I didnt download the game during the free month, I would have to buy it now, even tho I have ps plus subscription.
In otherwords, there was only a 1 month window to download the game for free and have a free access to it afterwards.

As @Brimstone stated, when a game goes free for ps plus subscribers you have a month to “redeem” or “add to library”. You don’t actually have to download the game but as long as you add it to your library during the promotion you can download it later at any time given your subscription is active. If you fail to do so yes, you’ll have to buy it. I think most people have already tried it and decided whether to keep playing or not. Buildings should start decaying soon

I’ve already seen the population on my server stabilize, and I’m assuming it will start to decline soon. Kind of a relief, and kind of a bummer, all at the same time.

We’ve been having trouble in the server we’ve been in for nearly 7 months. Between the language barrier and the sexual harrassment from the other players and the ignoring from people who can actually I’m starting to think I cant get anywhere with the admins

are you joking … the new players will decide they do not like official … go join dedicated, leaving 100s of official servers dead after a week … deal with the 40/40 for a few days or get on before busy times

Me an the m8’s picked it up with ps plus, a game none of us would have looked at before, none of us will play online simply because none of us have found a server that doesn’t lag extremely badly, even the supposed UK ones were we are from but that hasn’t stopped us having a great laugh in solo/Coop an even buying a few dlc, aye it buggy an aye certain commands in admin dont work but it a hell of alot a fun an as i said a good laugh an that all anyone can ask for from a game as far as im concerned.
Got my own thoughts on why i think it laggy an buggy as hell but that no for here an if it wasn’t for solo/Coop we probably all just have left as fast as wee picked it up
