Why there are no servers running the Retaliation DLC???

Post » Thu Jun 02, 2011 6:09 pm

Can anyone explain to me how is it possible that I've been waiting FOR THREE DAYS to play the DLC?

I try at any time of the day, and THERE IS NEVER ANY OF THOSE FOUR NEW MAPS.

I found one once, and we were only five playing.

That was two days ago. THERE IS NO MAPS, NOT EVEN IN EMPTY SERVERS, NO MATTER THE TIME OF THE DAY.

ARE YOU FOOLING US OR WHAT?

Probably because PC fans are pissed at Crytek.

Then Crytek should know this HAS BEEN A TOTAL FAILURE.

And it is a shame, because the only five minutes I've played Transit, it seemed excellent.

BUT YOUR WAY OF DOING THINGS IS RUINING COMPLETELY THE GAME.

They need to let us be able to play with any number of players, like 1v1 or so. Instead of waiting for more players. However i think some pc gamers are pissed off they gotta pay for the dlc lol.

One more thing.. i think it's because crytek needs money to fix patches and dx11. You know it costs money to develop things for games?

more than half of all servers are empty all time so it's not surprise that the new maps of "dlc" is also empty

I am not complaining for paying, at all, believe me. I understand perfectly that the DLC costs money, and I paid the first day gladly.

What you see is my illusion of playing smashed to pieces after three days.
I was very happy when I saw that Transit was awesome. But I have no idea how the other three are.
And I would have loved to see them.

Well, time off runs out, not everybody has that luxury of playing anytime you want all day long.
This is why I have been able of trying in different moments of the day, and I found nothing in two days.
Maybe it has been bad luck.

I guess I will have to return in summer and let's see if something has changed.
Or maybe I uninstall the game and I try to keep the nice memory of the SP, because MP with all the cheatings, some kind of ruiners and the repetition of levels are making me changing my opinion about what I was considering one of my favourite games serie ever.

Excuse me if I seem rude, but I am very disappointed, and it's sad because I don't like to complain, but here I think I must do it because it's true that I feel quite stupid by now because of this purchase.

No, I mean I don't find any map in any server, empty or not.

Thankfully I found one to know that the DLC worked, but that was the day of the release.

And I've played quite a lot this last three days, precisely waiting to see any game running.

Well, our clan has a server which we wont up date to DLC because our members wont buy it. ATM the feeling is just to can the server and get something else if not fixed so some extent by our next rental payment. With the bugs, unable to kick/ban hackers for a long time properly etc, it has just lost too many of our members playing it. I think out of the 15 + guys with the game @ release, 2 are still playing it once or twice a week. Sad really from all the hype to be such a let down and the profit first before fixing has worn it's welcome out.

First of all, you don't ask 50 euros for a game half finished, which still needs loads of work.
If you ask 40/50 euro, i expect a game, single player AND multyplayer, working like you are trying to show in your trailers, in your reviews etcetc. Not what i have played in the 1st month and im currently playing.

Quick example, i'm playing for 2hours i suddenly get a random DC for no reason... i lose all the exp/unlocks/dog tags/headshots/kills etc etc.. that's not an amazing game that's a mediocre, beta game. You don't release Crysis 2 with these bugs. I'm still playing and i will for some weeks, i started with 5 friends now im the only one still playing, i will probably end up quitting soon, if nothing changes.

In other words they asked 50 euros for their game and they got them. They want 10 more euros? Show me that you are actually fixing stuff(not trying and failing like it happened 2 times with the nano catalyst problem) and then i will give you 10 euro.

True, expect DX11 patch to do anything "wow"?

Im placing my PC on the line, saying that the DX11 patch will just be good enough to shut us up. But i guess they should had worked on a DX10 patch before that lol.

Great to see people not buying this DLC finally people see that crytek only cares about money and not about us.

GJ crytek by stabbing your loyal customers in the back.

stopped our rented server and not bought this DLC! there you lost some money already, hopefully many others will do the same.

good way to keep people playing your game asking more money while the game needs fixes.

since mod tools will be released latest buy august, you have to be really stupid to play for maps. Although if I have figured out crytek correctly, they would have released 3 more paid map packs by then and there will be svckers like ECIDRAW to buy them

just done a check and theres 37 servers showing for dlc
transit has 14 and all empty
shipyard has 9 and 1 person in one of them
park avenue has 11 and one person in
compound has 3 servers and are empty.

for players above mentioning the amount of players to start a game.
when i had my server for a month from release the minimum you could set it to to start a game was 4
instant action was the only game that can be started with 2 players

Yeh for the servers to be full of people playing the new maps., you kind of need lots of people to BUY the Dlc and then go play it.. Not happening ? wow theres a surprise.. And do you think they will release the editor to let the community , where the REAL talent is make maps ? not when they can still bilk a customer out of more money for thiers..
