I imagine this will be lost in the flurry of comments.. but do we know how keys are being distributed? random 1st come 1st serve? If thats the case I can check in next round.

Also...if this is seen. I hope the Devs know for every A-hole that's been VERY vocal and angry, plz know that there are people like me, waiting quietly, and patiently for this to get sorted. TY for all the hard work your team has put into this game. Myself, like everyone else here, is SUPER pumped to try it out and help sort the bugs out w/ you all.

First come, first served at this time, unfortunately.

So wait...
"keys on our site have been topped up"
but...
"Not everybody is going to be able to get one currently"
Which one is it? Topped up or not enough keys for people who paid?

"The DDoS is no longer a concern. The site should be up in the next hour or two, and should sustain the load without issue."
but...
"but we are still undergoing intentional attacks and heavy load from legitimate users, which hamper progress significantly. "

A lot of mixed words here. The players just want honesty...

I would, for personal knowledge, love to know how your Cloudflare instance is involved with your key distribution system.

  1. The keys have been topped up, but it's not enough for everybody.

  2. While the DDoS attacks seem to have mostly lifted, the load on our server is still very high and will likely cause some slowdown, but the site should hold up under load now.

  3. While I'm not a web developer, I understand it's an issue with how we implemented Cloudflare and there's a couching issue that was resulting in keys being duplicated across users. Beyond that, I'm afraid I can't give you anything useful, sorry.

Will the dead matter twitter account announce when fixed keys are ready to be claimed?

I do not control our twitter account, so I couldn't really tell you for certain. I believe so, however.

Good bot

I've gotten some DMs about this, so just going to toss this out there - I like a good haiku, deliberate or not.

When the website is back up will people still be able to buy keys if they haven’t already?

Right now we're focusing on getting keys to those who already purchased them. We'll likely allow people to start backing again once we're past this entire mess.

It may be. I'm afraid I'm not a web dev, so that's a little above my pay grade. All I know is that we pulled the site to fix the Cloudflare stuff we broke.

Though don't agree with how long it took for the information I am still excited to test the game, thank you for the heads up u/Metamoth741. Also will I get my two keys when I go to claim them or will I just get one for now?

You'll get the keys you paid for all in one drop.

Great to get some communication on what is being done. No time frame sadly. Can we expect to get regular updates from this point forward? Has management put forward a way to keep a constant flow of information for people to know what is happening as this is ultimately my biggest issue with everything that has occurred. Also have you spoken to the moderators in regards to how they handled the situation with the discord and disrespect that they showed to others?

We'll absolutely be providing information when we can.

We'll be discussing internally about everything that's transpired over the last few days. Afraid I can't really speak beyond that.

Hey I was able to get into the site and get my keys before site went down. After download steam took the key away. Am I getting a new key?

Yes.

How many keys does the site have right now? how much is that top mentioned on the announcement channel

It's a lot, but I'm afraid at this time I don't have a number for you.

How will you decide which backers get keys since there won't be enough for everyone?

Unfortunately, it'll need to be first-come, first-serve.

Please ask every dev on steam ever if valve reviews keys before they actually sending them out. Years back steam would just grant you keys but it was changed because some devs abused it by selling keys to russian trading card websites. It also made gaming news multiple times
