  • To Soulworker Team : Regarding Server Merge and NA

    This is a serious issue right now. I've been logging into both servers to compare metrics at different times throughout the day and EU has to be like 90% of the population while NA is a ghost town. This is really unfair for NA players who don't mind playing on EU. I have no ping problems to the EU server as well and would have no problem with an account transfer or merge; in fact I would prefer it.


    If we don't get an answer soon I'm starting a another thread with all of the comparison screenshots of the N search and how many market pages for different items between the 2 servers. EU's search is larger than a page while we're lucky to even have 2 parties DURING GRONCO BUFF. As of writing this EN has 116 PAGES OF BROOCHES while NA has only a mere 6!!!!! The difference is insane and it's terrible that we were excluded like this and now being ignored.


    What bothers me the most is that Gameforge already knows the statistics. They knew prior to the merge that EN already had a higher population than NA and that NA was in greater need for a merge than EN but they merged the entirety of EU anyway and did absolutely nothing for NA.


    This cannot continue to be ignored and absolutely must be addressed.

  • extend the summer

    TBH I'd be ok with extending the summer event ONLY IF it doesn't hold back new content and just runs in parallel.


    Now that said what we really need is an event that gives rewards for running districts/raids like that previous one with the SFL tokens but the rewards need to be like 10X better because running 12 raids for a single tag trans that couldn't even go to grade 6 was terribly discouraging and not worth the time. That event would have actually been really nice had the rewards been significantly cheaper/better as it would be encouraging to grind (unlike the one we were stuck with).

  • Summer Fashion

    Quote from Lianhua

    If i dont mistake de Chii one have 3 broochs because is unique but the one crafted for the rest is just rare whit only one space thats the reason.

    I don't think that's the reason either, mostly because dropped fashion from this event has 3 brooch slots no matter what where crafted only has one.

    That would just mean the dropped fashion is equal to the Chii-specific craft (dropped fashion is unique too) and also more desirable than the rare class qube crafts.


    So while I buy that explanation it still doesn't answer if the class qube (rare version) can be saved for use with Chii or not. Either way I'm prob doing the 110 unique craft for ocd sake and having the 'better' version with open brooch slots. Still would be nice to have an answer to this though.

  • Summer Fashion

    Good question I was wondering the same thing too. Can the 40-ice class qubes be saved for Chii as well or do we have to spend 110-ice for her fashion? And if we can just save the 40-ice class qubes for her what is the point of the 110 craft?


    Useful to know so we don't waste ice if we can craft a 40 and save it for Chii instead of the 110.

  • Bad news for NA?

    Bumping because still waiting to hear a rational justification on why Gameforge is going to let NA die alone. Ping is barely an issue and timezones aren't really either (as long as we use EN time).

  • team effort

    1) The private server does have a fault: The translations are generally terrible, although you can roughly still understand it.


    2) We can't kill it because they are always ahead of us with content and only some kind of legal action would work. I hear the servers are in FR so I'm surprised nothing has been done yet.


    3) If nothing is done they will kill us because Gameforge is miserably slow at bringing new content yet the private server brings new content within a month or two of KR release (WHICH IS THE SCHEDULE OUR SERVER SHOULD BE ON IN THE FIRST PLACE).


    4) We lose players to the private server constantly because they're always ahead of us with content and they also make the RNG more fair. Aside from those 2 things there is nothing the private server does better.


    5) If Gameforge doesn't get their act together and release content as fast as the private server does then they deserve to lose the 'battle' with them. This is just common sense really. Gameforge, an official company, should have the resources to provide a much better player experience than a handful of pirates but if they can't then they have no business publishing this game in the first place.

    By the way, all the "players" whining about GameForge on this forum haven't played the game in months. Don't listen to them and make your own opinion. Might be hard to find active players, but still possible.

    I can't tell if you're deliberately lying or really that ignorant but I for one still play every day and the upset about Gameforge is totally valid. WE HAVE HAD NO NEW CONTENT SINCE THE SPRING AND WILL HAVE NO NEW CONTENT FOR THE DURATION OF THE SUMMER. On top of that the players of NA have been banking on this merge to bring some life to the NA server again but the most recent announcement basically said "haha nope you get to continue your lonely death while we merge together all the other servers with EN" (and EN already has like double the population of NA). It's absolute incompetence and the outrage is 100% justified.


    Also I'd love to see the private server shut down but the fact that these guys update almost as fast as KR puts out content really makes you wonder wtf takes Gameforge (an actual company) so long. It's almost like content is deliberately being slow-walked for whatever lame reason.

  • new player

    Yeah as the board admin said with a big smiley face play EN because Gameforge just gave NA a death sentence and they know it. They may even find it funny too.

  • 🏖 When is the Summer Event? 🏖

    There's no point in a poll because they already made it clear the summer event was coming with the merge. The merge was supposed to be this month but since Gameforge can't do anything right (literally every date on their roadmap has been incorrect so far) the merge is being pushed back to August 1st.


    The worst part is Chii won't get her summer fashion because it appears she won't be released until the end of August when the summer event should be ending.


    I really hope this event lets us get summer fashion class qubes to save for Chii but I doubt Gameforge is considerate enough of the player base to do something like this for us. After all they announced yesterday they'll be letting NA die a sad lonely death.

  • Bad news for NA?

    Can you guys please shutup about dz bots? Those things haven't existed since last year and are completely irrelevant to the topic at hand. I get it would be a concern if they were still around but they aren't. And throwing insults isn't helping either.


    Anyway if NA went off of EN time that would be ok imo. Gronco is like 4 PM est / 1 PM west coast and PVP only starts 1 hour before that and the rest are later. If EN was to use NA times that would certainly not work for them but the other way around doesn't seem so bad of a sacrifice if it lets us actually have a population to play with again.


    Ping is also not an issue as I've played a bunch on Candus before and never experienced lag. I guess maybe being east coast US helps though.


    So yeah NA really needs to merge to EN as well. I guarantee you with the dwindling player count nobody is going to complain about the time changes if it allows us to actually find parties again without having to ask on discord first.

  • Bad news for NA?

    It really looks like Gameforge has decided they're just going to let NA die. The server has been a ghost town for months now and the news today just means we're the only server not getting to play with the entire rest of the GFSW population.


    NA has always been neglected. We are the only server to consistently see random down time and suspiciously always end up with the lowest number of winners every 'contest' so far, but this is just a final FU from the GF staff.


    My suggestion: If Gameforge is unwilling to manage the NA server in a way that keeps it alive or provide account transfers to EU then GIVE UP PUBLISHING RIGHTS IN NORTH AMERICA AND PASS IT ON TO SOMEONE WHO'S ACTUALLY FIT FOR THE JOB. With the way you manage things the server is guaranteed to die in your care so the least you can do is hand it off and hopefully we have a chance at surviving. It's disgusting to see you hold this game hostage in North America while simultaneously killing it with neglect. Even a group of pirates has managed their server better than you've done with NA. What does that say for you guys when you're supposed to be an official company??? It's absolutely embarrassing.


    Also given that most everyone on NA knows eachother word going around on discord right now is that the players plan to either quit or perma switch to the private server. Hope this is what you wanted cuz it's certainly not how I wanted to see this end. Pretty upset right now.

  • demotivated

    It would be extremely inconsiderate to the player base if Gameforge withheld all merge information until the day before it happens so this would suggest it's not happening on the 25th. That said Gameforge has made a terrible track record for themselves in the way they have handled Soulworker so I wouldn't be surprised if they did exactly this since player satisfaction is clearly not one of their priorities. God I wish they would replace their entire Soulworker staff with people who actually care. Only one who seems to be trying is Threea so appreciate that at least.


    What I don't get is why by this point Gameforge hasn't announced which servers are merging. I get not all info is finalized yet but if plans for which servers are merging isn't then that's a huge yikes.

  • demotivated

    If Gameforge continues to slow-walk the content KR is getting (and KR's pace has been picking up recently it seems) then our version will die. Period. The main problem is the existence of the private server and how it almost mirrors KR in keeping up to date with content so because of GF's slowness we are losing players to them. This is imo the biggest existential threat we face right now. If that server didn't exist then Gameforge's unreasonable slowness could maybe work as a 'strategy', but since it DOES exist GF is committing suicide by not keeping up the pace and staying competitive. I honestly can't tell if it's ignorance or incompetence or they really just don't care that's leading to this insanely slow content release schedule, but I can say with absolute 100% certainty that the slowness is doing more harm than good for us. If we can't fully catch up and stay no more than 1-2 months behind KR max we're screwed.


    Also I've recently witnessed entire guilds switch server and once they are spoiled with new content only half of them ever come back for 'new' content here (which is now content they've already played). If LG/GF or whoever isn't going to take legal action against the server their only option is to PICK UP THE PACE OF CONTENT RELEASE. There's literally no other options, although I guess if we actually had GOOD events worth grinding that might help a little but instead we get stuck with things like having to run 12 rookie raids for a single tag trans that can't even go beyond grade 5. It's a mess and it's so frustrating to see what's happening first hand and know how much of a problem this is becoming.


    On the bright side the negativity means there are still people around who sincerely care about our version of the game (most don't seem like trolls) but it also means GF really needs to work on doing better as it's worrying to see such a large fraction of the player base upset.

  • do u think?

    I think if the summer event ends before Chii gets released we're being scammed of her summer fashion. Pretty sad if this happens tbh.
