Dear Metas, Many players have sent us feedback on the feature that allows you to invite friends into your server. We take your views seriously and would like to explain our intentions and proposed solutions to the current issues. Issue 1: Invitations are no longer available on some very popular servers. Explanation: Invitation codes were introduced as a concessionary measure to let friends play together on servers that had already reached their population caps. We restrict the number of players who can join using invitation codes because we want the standard sign-up procedure to be the primary way of joining a server. We recognize that this feature still has room for improvement. In the short term, we will raise the cap on the number of players who can join via invitation code. For the long term, we will introduce a group sign-up feature. Solution: 1. Raise the cap on the number of players who can join via invitation code. Estimated Implementation: September 6, 2024 2. Allow players to sign up for scenarios as a group. Estimated Implementation: October 2024 Issue 2: Some servers have been open for a while and no longer accept sign-ups, so friends cannot enter. Explanation: We set a time limit on server sign-ups so that players in a scenario will have roughly equal progression. This prevents situations such as excessive power gaps or being unable to find suitable teammates. We will be making adjustments to the time limit based on your feedback. Solution: 1. For existing players, we will extend the period during which a scenario can be joined from 10 to 14 days. Estimated Implementation: September 26, 2024 2. New players (newly created characters) shall be allowed to enter any scenario without any time restriction. However, new players may encounter excessively high difficulty levels on some servers, so please choose your server carefully. Estimated Implementation: September 26, 2024 We will continue to take note of and resolve any issues pertaining to season transitions. If you have any feedback on the above changes, do let us know via Discord, social media, or other channels. We will make an official announcement once the changes are finalized. Thank you for your support! Once Human Development Team
