One design flaw of marionette that can be event breaking is loading screen between phases. Many people dont have high-end rigs and loading screen can last long, which results in them dying before they even load screen.

This should be avoided in any future events of this sort since beside annoyance it can lead to whole event failing and players have no power to influence outcome of situation.

This is why I always tell players on Warden 3: do NOT attack until everyone loads on the platform, or people load into AoE and die.

This small bit of advice has prevented wipes on W3 many a time.

You don’t need high end computers though. Just out the game settings at their lowest and you should be fine. This applies to the majority of players. However, the ones attempting to play the game by playing on a system that barely meets the requirements will still have issues.

Its not issue of optimization for better performance and experience. Problem is possibility of this happening, which exists and happends quite often. Possibility to die before loading screen shouldn’t exist, simple as that.

This is not hardver issue but design one.

Yeah, I kind of like the game to look good so I’m not gonna do that. That’s just a useless answer.

Imagine if you went to your garage because your car is making a strange noise when going over 50 km/h, and they told you to just drive slower than that, it wouldn’t satisfy you either now would it?

Any plan that involves dead quaggans is, by design, foolproof. I’m an unmitigated genius!

Wrong analogy. It’s not that the computers are having hardware issues, it’s that they’re subpar. Also, just because you want the game to look good doesn’t mean that my answer is just “useless”.

Its not about subpar rigs. It doesn’t matter if you load in 20sec or 11sec if you can die in 6 sec…

it would be nice to know exactly how the platforms populate.

There was one event where we had at least 25 in the lane, but when we got to the platform there was only me and one other player for the first 30 seconds. Everyone is shouting, “STACK, STACK!”, so the two of us stacked and were quickly killed.

Finally 3 others came into the platform, but it was far to late to complete the task…Sadly ours was the only one of the 5 platforms to fail and we were treated to the hoard of insults…

Was this just simple bad luck with 3 slow loading players or is the platform populating random?

Dev stated that people are sorted like a card dealer does when dealing cards.

Figured I’d also point out that load times are more than a function of graphical or even processing power. If the network you’re on (or your router) is acting as a choke-point that’s capping your download & upload speed.

Well a lot of people zone in late because they slack and are not at the portal when the timer reaches zero. There’s no reason to still be attacking the spawns as they despawn when the timer hits zero.
