An apology from NeocoreGames (and a friendly gift)

40

Dear Inquisitors,

due to the unexpectedly high number of players, our game servers went down for a few hours.

First of all, we are terribly sorry for the server issues. It was a combination of complex issues, but it was mainly the global chat that overloaded the servers. We have temporarily disabled global chat to solve this issue so everyone is able to play at least (Party chat, etc. will continue to operate). Of course, this is a temporary solution, expect a full update solving the issue completely.

To ensure maximum safety, we had to wipe account progress completely from the servers. We felt like this is not a big sacrifice as of now, since most people could only play for a short amount of time before the issue occurred.

As a token of our repentance, every one of you will receive a special Cherub in-game companion:

Once again, we are truly sorry for the inconvenience that we have caused, and we will continue to work hard to provide the best possible gaming experience.

Servers are back up and operational.

The Emperor Protects.

Out from what I read from some of your posts, I guess It was a good thing for me to quite simply just wait till the game was actually released.

And we all getting a pet from a package you only get from a package you need to pay $1000 for originally? No, can´t imagine that is the case. Why would people who bought the base game get a pet only available from a $1000 package? Could it be? Hhhmmm.

At LEAST I know 1 of those 3 pets you get in the $1000 package is never gonna be able, and I mean NEVER able to get/buy for people who never bought that specific package. And that is a FACT. people who actually went for buying that $1000 package truly deserves to have a truly unique item(s).

With some time I may think it just might will be possible to get SOME of those pets through purchasable DLCs. But never ever all of them.

The pet from $1000 package Grand Master Pack is unique. It's not the same pet than this giving away. Skin is really different. Not the same wings, not the same size, not the same name in game (Cherub Pet from Grandmaster pack, Angelic Servitor from 1.01 patch).

Yeah so giving away the 1 pet that people who paid $1,000 for that made them unique, because of a delay, is not right. Hopefully you create another pet, much cooler pet, for those $1,000 package folks.

In reality, this giving away Cherub Pet is  is not the same Cherub pet from the Grandmaster Pack. This Cherub pet is mentionned "Angelic Servitor" in game. The Cherub pet from Grandmaster Pack is mentionned "Cherub Pet" in Game. Skin is different. "Cherub Pet" from Grandmaster Pack is still unique.

I'm new and have never been a real follower of any of the WH40k series until recently I saw this game, Space Hulk Deathwing ,and Vermtide 2 for PS4 (some a work in progress obviously).



 Please tell me that truly did not happen....

ahhhhh. This would have been useful to mention from the start, eg "It will be delivered within the next few days, watch for it in your mailbox!" (or however we should know to look for it.)


thanks for clearing it up!

The account wipe happened when i went to work. The reset caused me to lose the name ive had on Steam for 14years, and its also my name on the webpage here,...So some impostor has stolen my name i had after release, and before the wipe again. How is this fair,...i was at work. Sure the Pet is awesome, but my name,.. really,..

This straight sucks for more than a few players i have seen this happen too. I hope you either get this issue resolved or at the very least find an alternate you are happy using.


I still think a full Account wipe was a bit much, i'd have much prefered a character and progression wipe i.e keep Account name and friends list the latter more so now we don't have a functioning in game chat option, kinda glad i took some screens of my friends list before wipes to note all the fellow Inquisitors i have had the pleasure of purging with over the last year+

Now lest hope most managed to keep or reuse the same IGN's

Same here. I was happy I got my name and now it's gone... and since it's after release it's gone forever :(
Same for my guild leader. Had it at launch, went to work or something, came back and it was gone. He was PISSED, and nearly deleted the game just from that.


I see the game's sitting at "Mixed" now on Steam, and it's only slowly trending downwards. I don't mean to be all "I told you so", but...I told you so, Neocore. Several times, probably. Launch on Steam has GOT to be butter-smooth, or they WILL destroy you. Even though this was a pretty minor problem compared to other launches I've seen, it was enough to do some damage. Especially the wipe after launch.

Don't get me wrong, I still love this game. I played for like six hours straight after the servers were back up yesterday. I'm excited to see what else comes down the pipe, especially in terms of further bug fixes and polish. And hey, now everyone gets the $1000 pet for free. :P

Same nothing showing up in my panel for the pet OR the mask. Your chat doesn't work which I know you're working on. Apparently your bug report feature doesn't work either. Seems to send me in circles.

Same thing here, can`t see any pet.

ok am i blind, or did it not work for steam players?

i go to the customization console, and it says "Pet: [not available]"
is there somewhere i have to claim it from first?


just to compare, i DO have my Mask of the Martyrs... and i was playing when the servers crashed just after launch, but then i decided to get some sleep in case it took a while.

What about Tarot mission ? We can't switch theses missions and even if it shows the right power level, the modifiers are like a 50 power level mission (and the rewards are such as well).
