Mortal Online 2 Gives Update on Stress Testing | MMORPG.com

The stress test for Mortal Online 2 has been trucking along for 6 days. CEO of Star Vault Henrik Nyström took to the discord to explain what's been going on with the systems and the improvements headed to the game for early access.

I logged over two hours of "play time" over the entire weekend just trying to login their shit server and broken queue system, and I know I was not the only one. Funny how they are spinning this to be some huge success when their discord was full of people not being able to even get in.

This will be a train wreck of a launch....not getting a dime from me

I was at 17 hours "played" when I last checked.. of which 2 minutes were in game

I was able to get in twice but only after 9pm pst. Game is pretty interesting if it wasn't a full loot ffa pvp game.

Xanzo

Yeah, they need to fix that queue system. I spent a few hours in-game, but probably many more just trying to log in. I think they have a long road ahead of them if they want to make that one successful. It seems like a very, very time consuming game.

Completely ignoring the companies past. Anyone in here complaining about not being able to play and calling the game/systems "shit" and talking the company down for the state of the game makes me laugh at you. Hopefully you're are either to young to even know how to spell responsibility, or to dumb to be working in any field that requires common sense, such as the development of pretty much anything that exists on earth.

it was a huge success, and im not white knighting.. this was the WHOLE freakin reason of this "free" stress test and to put a lot on the servers and it worked.. ya I didnt get much game play either but I get the point of this and understand I rather happen now and hopefully fix it before EA or release...

Without going on too much of a rant, this company has a mother fuck ton of work to do before launch. The fact they even labeled this a "closed beta" stress test (when I've seen and participated in alpha tests that are less broken, more optimized, and more feature rich) is definitely not a good sign. Everything about the situation this game is in reminds me of the route Population Zero went, and that game became abandonware almost immediately after their "launch."

Your daddy work on the game little boy? It takes a child to discredit everyone who disagrees with them by applying your bullshit premise to different views. Look in the mirror. The company's (you used plural not possessive there genius) past? As if Mortal Online is some huge success rofl. Yea....your daddy must work there.

Huge success in that it highlighted how broken their login system is? Sure, I'll buy that. But you cannot tell me they got to stress their servers the way they wanted to when the majority of people were sitting in "queue".

Stress the stress test

Straef

I managed to play for a dozen hours or so. Wasn't able to login the first few times I tried, then gave it a go fairly early the next day and had no problems. The amount of comments here, on Twitter and on YouTube about not getting into the game has me wondering whether anyone out there understands what a stress test is.
I never played the previous game and am unfamiliar with the developer, but was actually fairly impressed with the progress in the brief time the test was live. From unable to play at all, to a laggy mess, to playing perfectly fine eventually.
If you're upset you didn't make it in, just be glad they appear to make running a decent server a priority and look forward to functioning servers down the line.
Testing aside, I watched Josh Strife Hayes' Worst MMO episode on the original Mortal, and felt kinda disheartened at how a lot of his gripes with the games weren't just fair for the first game, but seem to be present in its new iteration as well. After leaving the staying area, I ended up walking away from the town I got ported to and managed to just roam around for 1-2 hours without running into a single enemy. With move speed being as slow as it is, and having run into dead ends on multiple occasions after long walks (places getting blocked off by surrounding mountains and such), I'm a bit concerned about the whole "fun factor" of the game.

fanbois are a cancer in this genre, nuff said.

Not interested in the game but gotta laugh at people complaining about not being able to play during stress test where the whole point is to break their servers.

You might not laugh so much if you were there for the stress test of the original game and release.  

While I agree that stress tests are meant to stress the server, this company carries the burden of a credibility problem based off of how poor Mortal Online was and how disastrous its launch was.  I don’t think this past weekend helped alleviate that concern.

Honestly the most concerning thing I saw in my few minutes of play was the instancing...  that was unexpected. 

Kyleran

Clearly some here don't understand that this was meant to test gameplay performance while the servers were under a high load.

Those unable to log in were failures from a testing perspective right from the get go and from one persons description of not running into many others sounds like most never got in at all.

After all, they didn't call this login testing which is actually a thing all in it's own.

LOL!!! All the people that are upset about not being in the game more then 2 hrs or not even getting into the gam..... REMEMBER THIS IS A STRESS TEST. MO2 Devs wanted to test out the server and test out how many can be in the game.... They know that some didn't get to be in the game. They obviously got some feed back and I'm sure game will be a lot better during the Launch.

Sure.

Certainly hope for the sake of its players that launch is better.

I'll say, I did get into the November free stress test.  I think after the disaster of this this one,(no sugar coating) another freebie is mandatory.  I think they will do another one down the road.
