What do you all think about this?
I'm talking about when you just spam refresh the webpage until the nearest slot opens and you get in
Because I just did that 3 minutes before it started and I got it
I feel pretty good

And to be honest, they show up more often than you'd think!
 
It's sorta silly, but considering all of the play slots up until tomorrow afternoon(other than weirdly timed US ones), it's some peoples best shot at getting a chance to play. :)
 
i personaly believe play time to be unfair to have a limited time of how long you can play and then once your time if up you can instantly request for the next day I am having a very hard time getting a time slot in the hours of the day when I am able to play the game and I don't like waiting until 2am or 3am to beable to play I feel play time is a waist of time I wish they would just allow everyone to play

But if they allow everyone to play, then how will the servers stay up?

Unfair? On a game in Beta, that is not asking for anything from you?

Well, you are certainly free to make your own game, have the servers wide open, and run it any way you want.........

You can reserve playtime a week in advance. The slots for like 2 days for now are wide open too
 
I play at the same time every day, 7 - 10 PM EST daily, giving me enough time to do my work. After it ends at 10 though, I do usually sit on the page for ~45 minutes waiting for a playtime to open up. I was curious how many other people did this as well. Having good internet helps.

I asked about this and it turns out that playtime slots are the only way they can actually allow everyone to play!

The thing is there are only five servers and they would implode under the strain of a free-for-all. So the only way of making sure that everyone actually gets a chance to play is by allocating limited time slots.

As stability improves and they expand the number of servers then they'll increase the number of playtime slots :happy:
