Has anybody been able to Host games on Portal. I have spent hours clicking that Host button and have only gotten in once. The least EA could do is make it a "get into que" option. Is there ever going to be enough capacity to where everybody can use it? You should make a list like at a Pool Table or let us reserve a spot if only so many people can play at one time. It's kind of a rip-off.
I'm about done for today. I just noticed exiting todays Host Button clicking sessions I was @ 11:42 in-game hours when I last was able to play, now I'm @ 14:16. What a Rip. Is Portal even a thing? Has anybody been able to host anything this week? Where is the best place to get information about the servers and if there's any spots open?
@15:06 hours now, still no luck. I'll keep trying for a few days but I'm starting to think I've been had. It's a money for nothing scheme. That server putting out that message 100,000 a minute all over the World is probably working harder than the gaming server next to it they use to they use to be able to say ... look it is there. In time there will be more an more servers pumping out the GLOBAL QUOTA message and the scam will be complete.
I've had enough as well. This isn't what they advertised, and it sure isn't what i paid for. Either add more portal servers, or let us rent verified official servers so we can actually have access to our created experiences. The hit registration and desync is so bad in regular conquest servers it's absolutely unplayable. I just want to relax and kill some bots before i go to bed.
I'm old enough to know better. I should have known it would be like this. I sure shouldn't have trusted EA, and i never will again after this.
past 3 days been trying to host a conquest and getting this message SimGuruArvin EA_Habutai Vaangan how about telling us what the devs are doing with regular updates on the forum. what's the point of the forum if theres no reply from ea staff ?
It is a money for nothing scam 100% by design, just as I described it.
@15:36 hours now, no luck. And as it may seem that I'm spinning my wheels, I am not. EA has not put two and two together yet, but I am bolder and more knowledgeable about scams than they. I know something when I see it, and I say plain as day to EA ... I want a piece. Pay me and I'll stop exposing your money for nothing scam. email me. I already know you will not pull the plug on this scam ... cool beanz ... pay me and I will go away.
@ 15:47 hours now, still no luck. My end is relatively easy now whenever I get a few spare minutes I go click away, and the minutes, hours, and days stack up.
I have complained out this since day 2 of release. Gimmie a break. We need our own server software so we can run on our own computers.
I to have the 'Global Game quota exceeded' message. It was also a problem on 2042 (with the AFK servers)
But I also have a 'Host Locally' button when trying to host a Portal server -- I just clicked on that and the game started a minute later.
Can you see that button on your PC ??
