Map is full?

[Archived Post]

After finally being able to create my two characters and sitting through endless "Retrieving Characters" and "Retrieving List Of Maps" screens and re-launching the game countless times, it tells me the maps are full? Why? Did Cryptic really not anticipate the amount of people wanting to play this open beta? And when might the maps become un-full?

Thats what beta and stress testing does.... gives all the players and servers lots of stress! :)

yeah it'd make sense if you could choose a map....so this didn't happen.

So i take it that means All the players getting this message (myself included) can't get in game for a very long time? lol this might get a lot of players moaning about it :confused:

Same for me full map

I have found 4 or 5 different posts in the forums so far about this issue ans still not one reply but a Dev guy or Mod. I have no idea how long we will have to wait to play the game if we even get to at all.

And then the players give the devs lots of stress!

In all likelyhood - it could be at least 24 hours. Yes this may suck but its REALLY worth the wait if you want things properly sorted out once retail comes around.

if you click really fast on the map pop up, seems like you can change maps. Maybe it's wishful thinking but I got in that way.

The problem is that the game really should be picking a different instance, or spawning a new instance if needed rather than logging people out.

By the looks of it, the issue is thus.....

Each instance can hold a maximum of 50 players. The problem is that there are sooo many players atm that you are queuing for an instance (I've not seen one below 44 so far) and players are logging in before you (in the mere 1/2 second before you spawn in). Thus map is full and you get kicked.

At the moment I guess cryptic might look at creating new instances at a lower pop cap, but thats just me guessing. The real issue is we have a lot of players starting at the same level. And boy could this be callled a stress test.

But that is why we are here, to help the Devs iron out these bugs. The problem will partially solve itself as the player population spreads to other sectors and whatever the Devs come up with.

Previous to this in CB everything was a lot smoother and none of these problems occured. But we're here to stress test things, and I'm sure these a fair amount of stress over at Cryptic. But if you the player are getting stressed, then take a walk, watch a movie. The level cap is 16 at the moment, so there is no rush. For those that are still in post any bugs you find, and give feedback on the forums when you feel the instrutions or objective of the mission is unclear etc.

There will probably be problems later as US gamers come home from work as well, so perhaps tomorrow may be a better day. But stick in there, don't be disheartened....the game is epic (and you'll love some of the later quests)

Ive gotten this multiple times today as well as being kicked from the server.

I compelted a quest within an instance as an escourt quest, while leaving the Map Full error logs out my avatar, though re entering is no problem because it pops me back in the escourt quest zone which is empty. However, the bug is that the quest I was on resets with dialogue but is complete, I then select leave zone in completion and it creates this cycle. Should the mission not be complete the first time, the quest should be completed first, and then the travel should take place.

OK the trouble is that if the map is full that the system auto logs you out. The system shouldn't be logging you out every time you try to log in and fail. It should show you that all the servers/maps are full and then allow you to wait till one opens or allow you into a queue to wait for an open spot to get into the server/map. By having the system just boot someone just because the maps are full will add to the frustration of game play if the released version does the same. You will end up having some people rage quit because they can't play so why pay if you can't play.

Same issue here, tries to load maps, says full. Kick to main screen. Relog - try to start... same issue.

yes it would be nice if it either let you pick your instance instead of a brief flash on your screen, or if it moves you down into the next instead of haveing to re-log in, selcet character..full map try again

Solution.... multiple servers not this instanced garbage.... I even did the option to select and instance and 35 times now when I try to get out of Sol System Map is full no matter what I select.... If its this bad tonight with just the people willing to do open beta how is it going to be once you have Everyone at launch trying to do all these quests?

Im not sure, im still searching for the proper place to report this but.

Im having a problem grouping. Me and a person in team cant group in the same map# :( Teaming is laggy and we even got a message about the Team Server? :confused: I slo keep "loosing" my Bridge Officer

Aye - the Map Full bug is a swine, because the behaviour I would have expected is to drop me to the Change Instance screen so I can pick a different map. Instead it boots you out of the game entirely.

This isn't a gamebreaker but it is more irritating than it should be when the game engine already has Instance Switching incorporated.
