[From devs} Don't do any training missions right now

**UnDeaD** · 06-20-2009, 10:56 PM

This was posted on the official forums.

Part of the difficulties we've all been seeing stems from the large number of training missions being run with everyone trying to save their results. This is putting a sizable strain on the Authentication servers, but we have a plan to temporarily improve this situation.

Within the next couple of hours we'll be updating everyone's statistics to indicate all training levels have been passed. This will allow you to enter a server and enjoy the full range of Soldier weaponry and abilities.

However, for this to have the greatest effect, we need your help...

Please do not engage in any training missions.

Doing so will defeat the purpose of what we are trying to accomplish in the short term, which is to get everyone playing. If this initiative is successful, you'll be able to enjoy multiplayer gaming while we can work at long term solutions.

Once again, please, DO NOT engage in any training missions, but feel free to join a multi-player server.

Also, please note that if you are kicked from a server, it’s probably due to the server being full. With so many players trying to join at the same time, the number of players in a server may not be accurate. Just try joining another server."

So...does that apply to MOS too or just BCT?

I cannot confirm this, as that was the only news I saw. However, I tried to read some more, and the forums went down.

I just logged in, and it had my CLS training completed, just said "Basic" though. Also the other training stuff was all unlocked for me.

For everything training related.

As the info said do play online though!

Wow, that defeats the purpose of AA's wonderful n00b filter.

Damonte finished the training online early this morning and found it to be helpful for basic game functions. It's too bad everyone will be skipping it for a while.

Me love talking in third person.

It is possible to do training still without interfering with servers... It will, however, not allow the results to be saved, so if you are easily bored of training, don't bother...

When you go into the game, stop at the login screen. Look below the username/password boxes, there will be a link for 'play offline', and that will allow you to do some training (Still working towards perfecting that MOUT time for the expert title? Go play offline and work on your reflexes).

Again, remember, these do not save, so you will be required to still do the training when they allow you to train again to get your results.

Ya, this does suck because then everyone will be equal again, but i believe they would put it back to where they were again after this. Lets hope so!

So everyone is clear you can do training but it's not necessary to play online. The devs need to reduce the strain on the authentication servers so in general they want less training. It seems to have worked.
