Anything purchased from the shop on one platform will carry over to the other. Your wallet balance will not though.

No problem, even upgraded to exalted to show support. That said I can’t figure out where the tower compass would be located. Feel like it should be in key items tab but I got no clue if I have it or not right now.

The tower compass is not in the game right now due to a last minute issue. We’ll be adding it in with the upcoming patch AND you’ll automatically get your 5% Reward Tower XP retroactively so play away!

Appreciate it.

We will be adjusting this fight in our first patch.

We are incredibly relieved to announce that our various server related issues have been addressed allowing players to play almost instantly with essentially no queue!

The team has been working non-stop this past week to address the #1 player concern - Server stability and queue wait times.



While we continue to make various network optimizations behind the scenes, we are excited to start turning our focus to the main goal of our Early Access period, making improvement to the game, its systems, player balance and bug squashing.

If you tried to play Wayfinder earlier this week and were discouraged by lengthy queues and connectivity issues, we humbly invite you back.

The player compensation packages will be announced next week. This will be granted to all players who had previously played the game whether you had no issue getting in... Read more

Jesus Christ. You white knighters need to realize you're as bad for the growing community as you are as the ridiculous haters that only comment hate on the game. Frankly the game should never have gone to a paid EA without an open beta. Open betas are used all the time to test their servers and networks, what was the reason for not running a single open beta?

A paid early access is NOT an excuse for a barely playable game. People wanting refunds for it due to how the game launched and has been up until last night are completely valid in their requests. Just because you are okay with it doesn't mean others should be okay with it. As long as they aren't spreading hate about it, it's fine.

While the queue issues have been addressed and fixed, there are still a huge pile of issues that need to be addressed for the game to be playable CONSISTENTLY. There are now stability issues and disconnect issues plaguing the game.

I also take issue with developers communicat...

Discord has the highest number of members, just under 80k compared to other social channels like twitter with 22k, it’s why we post our server updates there.

We hope you try the game again as we have eliminated the queue and have drastically i increased our capacity.

Comment

Not only have we been in Discord and telling people their options for refunds, we also posted it as a thread in the guides section that I personally pinned that shows how to contact them even if you have over 2 hours in the game and are not satisfied with our progress.

This seems to be an issue with your ISP / internet provider is blocking access to certain protocols that the game is trying to reach. What region are you in?

Ps5 does not have an update and I cant log in even after doing the queue 3 times now, first time I cant log in and keep getting an error that says "Matchmaking ticket time out" something along those lines. Is this a Ps5 thing? Is anyone on the Ps5 logged in rn?

There is no update at this time, the post has since been edited. You should be able to log in like normal.

Honestly, if they implement that grace period after disconnects, the game will be fine. It's annoying to be disconnected, but mostly because you have to sit through queue again.

This grace period will be in tomorrow.

We try to post hourly in our discord server’s server status channel. Check out updates there.

We’ve been posting constant updates about every hour in Discord and a few times a day on Twitter when we have news to share.

Can you explain to us the FUNCTIONAL difference between the game being capped at 10k users, and the game being instable and unplayable when it gets over 10k players? Because either way it sounds a lot like there's a hard limit to how many players you can handle at the same time

Sure. We have a ton of data at our disposal and we are constantly looking at it. it’s a balancing act of loading in more players and keeping those servers stable. When we operated above 10K on one day (i don’t even remember at this point) we were seeing way disconnects, more disruptions, more crashed servers and more player issues than a previous baseline of 10k that showed minimal disruptions. yes players still had issues thats’ the nature of the beast but it was far lower at this capacity due to how the database was talking to the game server which was talking to login servers which was talking to authentication etc etc.

In order to make the game more stable to the vast majority of players we adjusted them down to 10k.

That’s actually not what we said at all.

We said we’re currently stable at 10k users, and the cause of our instability was when it was higher.

I explained this multiple times when people demanded we give them a capacity number, that the total capacity wasn’t the issue here, it was a scaling problem and a number was irrelevant. People pressed at it, and since we’re transparent and open we released the full info (below) but now once again people believe that we are at a hard cap.

We even shared the graph on twitter to show how it was scaling and failing a lot and now we have to solve the software issues we are having.

They don’t give a shit about the player, don’t be fooled, or else they would have communicated the issues to Sony to allow for refunds. Y’all deserve for this game to fail, and looks like we don’t have to wait long to see it happen

You spammed nonstop in discord and when I asked you to stop and DM me directly if you felt we were not doing something and you felt you wanted to give us that feedback. You did not DM me.

We will be changing these prices, and grant anyone that bought them the difference. Read this for more info: https://www.reddit.com/r/PlayWayfinder/comments/15ux4u3/an_update_from_airship_syndicate_and_digital/

Yesterday sucked. There is no other way to say it. It sucked for people who purchased Founder’s Packs and couldn’t play, and it sucked for us to see players unable to get into the game after believing in us and our vision.

Early Access isn’t a crutch. It’s a conversation between a studio and the community that’s helping build the game alongside the studio. We said from the start that we’d be transparent and open with the community and that continues now that we have players entrusting us with their money, and us failing to deliver.

SERVERS AND LOGIN Although we ran technical tests and betas across multiple regions, we were seeing more players every minute than played in our Beta each day. Although we had a queue system ready, that system failed immediately. We quickly implemented numerous fixes to try and stabilize the login experience and those failed as well. We ended up having to put a cap on the players that were on the server which was less than ideal and result... Read more
