March 24, 201510 yr Author I dont see any changes to the forums though I thought they would add subforums? Join the Orcz and help scribe everything that goes on in the world of Pillars of Eternity! The Unofficial Pillars of Eternity Wiki
March 24, 201510 yr They were not prepared for the ****storm. When the keys go live, something like 71K backers will try to log on more-or-less all at once. Edited March 24, 201510 yr by LadyCrimson image removed: profanity
March 24, 201510 yr I dont see any changes to the forums though I thought they would add subforums? The forums and the backer site are linked. "Things are funny...are comedic, because they mix the real with the absurd." - Buzz Aldrin."P-O-T-A-T-O-E" - Dan Quayle
March 24, 201510 yr My guess is they were overwhelmed by key seekers. There's a little Dana Barrett in all of us today.
March 24, 201510 yr As Leferd said, I assumed it has something to do with updating the Backer Portal in preparation for keys being available. Should we not start with some Ipelagos, or at least some Greater Ipelagos, before tackling a named Arch Ipelago? 6_u
March 24, 201510 yr The forums are already bending under the weight of <1000 readers, loading really slow. Go time will be like a DDOS attack.
March 24, 201510 yr I'm pretty sure that we broke the forum. And I'm also pretty sure that we're close to doing it again. We can do it again if we work together!

March 24, 201510 yr The forums will really break when 70k+ backers attempt to retrieve their keys. "Things are funny...are comedic, because they mix the real with the absurd." - Buzz Aldrin."P-O-T-A-T-O-E" - Dan Quayle
March 24, 201510 yr The servers broke just as the kickstarter began, then they broke right as the backer portal launched, then they broke as soon as the Backer beta was released. And of course they just broke today as thousands of people showed up here for some reason...maybe to see if their steam keys were ready to be collected. I have a question. Did this sort of public critical mass occur before South Park Stick of Truth was released? Or just before Alpha Protocal came out? No? Then I wonder what this all means. Is PoE going to have a better Day One Sales day than those two titles? Edited March 24, 201510 yr by Stun
March 24, 201510 yr It means neither of those games had 71K people sitting around at their computers specifically waiting for a timed event to occur.
March 24, 201510 yr At least the time stands clear on the frontpage now: Coming Thursday, March 269 AM PST · 17:00 CET More modding for PoE II | How to Work with Stringtables
