How can I even play if the official servers are always full. WTF

[anfo3722]

So every time a make a character on a new official server one of 3 things happen.

1. I play for a few hours then go do life stuff and when I come back the server I was on is full. WTF is this crap. How am I supposed to even play if the servers are capped at 32. And why let everyohe keep making characters if they are capped at 32. What a stupid fucking system if that is how it works. Tons of people trying to long on a server with only 32 spots. Who fhe fuck is the genius that thought this up.
2. Eventually a hacker comes and blows my base and everyones base up and character. Just teleports around the whole map and kills everyone. WTF is this shit.
3. YOU wipe the servers due to them being hacked. You even say to play on official servers to avoid getting hacked. Game is going to die fast if you dont fix this stuff.

Unless I should just be playing single or with no one. Seems like this game needed a lot more baking.

1. There's a reason why they allowed players to create their your own world locally or on dedicated server because they were smart enough to know they couldn't handle all of them. Pocket Pair is an indie developer company not a multi-billion triple A company like Nintendo that can have thousands of servers. In fact this game if it did not succeed, they stated they would have filed for bankruptcy. The option to host your own world if you want has always been there.

2. Game is still in Early-Access, bugs and hacks is obviously going to be there, it's the entire purpose of Early-Access to discover these things and try to fix them on launch. 2nd, idk what "killing" you're talking about because on official servers PVP is disabled. You can only enable them if you're running on a dedicated server but Pocket Pair did state it's gonna cause stability issues which is why they're disabled on official servers until they iron out the PVP. If you're talking about why your base is in ruins on official servers when you log back in, you probably got raided when you were logged off.

3. This one was already fixed on last update because again this is Early-Access, they will slowly fix issues. If you bought a game on Early-Access and expect it to have no bugs, that's on you. Plus the option to create a world on your PC or a dedicated server set it to multiplayer and share it with others so you can easily back-up your save locally have always been available.

Look at the road map, it's geared toward official servers. They are currently paying a fuckton of money for servers, because server hosting has a memory leak. But to top it off, servers reset so players lose progress. They're just flushing money down the drain.
The game runs everything client side, they can try and patch a hole but as long as they don't rework how the game works so everything happens server side hackers will remain a problem. They haven't fixed a thing. Hack makers mocked the devs it took them less time to bypass the preventions they put in place. Will continue to be a problem as long as client has so much power. PVP is possible on official. No anticheat will fix it.
I was hoping to find an update on the situation on the forum but no words from the devs it seems. Love the game but it's not meant to be played solo or on dedicateds considering the road map. And they've got a lot to sort out still it seems. Can't wait to hop back on again though, whenever that will be.
