While some reactions are excessive… any company that markets a game as a multiplayer sandbox and runs official, perpetual servers needs to take some responsibility for the stability of those servers. And if people lose their hard-earned progress due entirely to the dev’s incompetence you can expect them to get upset.
It’s that simple.
When this new issue hit I’d just finished disassembling an entire base and was heading somewhere with an inventory full of T4 thralls/mats/etc. I disconnected and was unable to log in right after teleporting to the Sinkhole obelisk. So yeah, it was upsetting.
Luckily I’m a persistent MFer so I was able to spend 10 min logging in each time in order to take 10 steps before I’d get disconnected again at the next authentication cycle, and eventually got somewhere safe. Here’s hoping everyone else was able to recover their gear/corpse and log safely.
