In game domain, a lot of people can be like such setting to ever was acquainted: Game of a many person is released in Steam platform, become instantly best-selling game, subsequently because game is hot and bring about a server to break down. At the beginning of having Internet it seems that, this kind of problem had not been broken, the admiral game that even if is EA " anthem " fail escape by sheer luck.
Recently, this kind of awkwardness also happens in Steam platform new those who release live MMO blows hard " final oasis (Last Oasis) " on the body. Although the issuance of this game is behaved first days very fluent, but as increasing person swarm into, " final oasis " the server becomes flabbier and flabbier calm, brought about all things finally break down. After 3 days, this game gets offline when development business Donkey Crew chooses for the moment, and no matter player playtime how long, allow to withdraw total fund.
As the product that releases a day to ascend top Steam popular a list of names posted up, " final oasis " why to suffer next wearing? In live numerously in game accident, of Donkey Crew this make newly why mournful? See the detailed introduction that GameLook brings please:

Is game too hot brought vexed: ? Serve of Piao of of Bei of Xi of Fu of Ci of burnt of 7 ?
The course of whole episode is as follows roughly:
On March 26, after Donkey Crew releases this game Early Access platform, " final oasis " rapid and hot, and enter a Steam whole world successfully sell well a list of names posted up.
Subsequently, an uncertain problem lets advocate the server begins to break down, bring about a player to cannot land game. The player that has loginned at that time still can continue to experience, but most player cannot return entree sheet, although was thrown whole the time on the weekend solves a problem, but it seems that the solution that Donkey Crew still can achieve inside neither one near future.
On March 27, donkey Crew is being updated in mention, "We released a patch to solve problem of a few join and other problem, notice to was not all problems to get settlement please, this patch is unwarrantable also perfect stability, we can keep newer make sure you get latest news " .
This company still shows, "Our programmer works overtime day and night will solve this problem, and they need to rest. We need appropriate investigation to find out pressure to check to did not discover the reason of this problem, decide with better way and solve it, you are very much the person says this is not game of an Early Access should some quality, we agree completely " .
Although be to be based on familiar much life to put game regulation to make, but " final oasis " joined a large number of outstanding new functions, for instance a grapnel, world that drives you to move ceaselessly, and the economic system of dominant of a player. But it most the function of cruel is huge ligneous spider machine, you can multiply the dune of world of its leap doomsday and oasis, this kind of experience is very grand.
Of course, " final oasis " the server is squeezed to explode, erupt of new coronal virus greatly with the closest whole world have very big concern. Because more and more countries and area take segregation step, everybody can long-range socialization, so the use quantity of game and recreational application promotes considerably. Also because of such, the game of independent small group bears very hard this kind of discharge erupts, donkey Crew is recently " victim " .
Casey Hudson of BioWare general manager ever was mentioned when speaking of game problem, the server problem after game is released is only then expect do not, he says, "We released an a lot of people to say interesting game, but the issue that before also encountering millions player to experience, reachs without anticipation, we and you feel disappointed to this like a lot of people " .
Undeniable, server problem can damage the excited feeling that players release to new play, although be like EA formidably, still hard to avoid lets " anthem " experience server problem. But in game industry, the circumstance that the problem gets offline badly to whole game still does not see more, besides " anthem " besides, " Apex Legends " , " dauntless " and move inspect what issue recently " mission call: War zone " had encountered entry server explodes full problem, but the server of these game is carried and did not produce so serious problem, this reflected big plant to be faced in technical layer at in the very preponderance of small group.
This is a very tragic circumstance, because " final oasis " it is a special original game, and the consequence that game gets offline can avoid completely, probable it is server end appeared vital issue, for instance " dauntless " development business Phoenix Labs passes what avoided game itself server with Gu Ge's collaboration to break down.
Accept before this when interviewing, simon Beaumont of vice president of department of Phoenix Labs technology and Sunil Rayan of general manager of department of recreation of cereal song cloud express, a game whether become your work to be forecasted very hard, but the group must be below the condition that does not know how to many player enters game make a plan for a variety of likelihoods, they must guess needs server carrying capacity, and lowermost cloud serves, processing fights in real time. If game occurrence card pauses, players can discover very quickly, because they are met,experience decelerate, this causes player anger very easily.
Download quantity is already broken of 20 million " dauntless "
To keep agile, all game servers are in Phoenix Labs platform of game of cereal song cloud (GCP) move inside container, this atelier still is in " dauntless " all issuance section establishment custom-built the GKE that change (Google Kubernetes Engine) engine group, enclothe North America, Australia, Europe and Asia.
Be in when the player game when, " dauntless " can match the player other 3 players, form a fictitious group, let them chase jointly to photograph adjacent islands Behemoth blames animal. Every group chases to be in of GKE temporarily cabin moves, last 15 minutes before players finish the job and returning headquarters Ramsgate, so that they can optimize weapon, preparation,fight the next time.
Beaumont says, "We cooperate with Gu Ge before game is released, they also from participated in whole process at the beginning, we use Kubernetes to regard management as the service, this is effective, the small group that we have only and engineer of a few platform forms, can allow server enlarge facial expression quickly however, this kind of way is very efficient " .
" final oasis " what be?
The earth stopped rotation, time of a day can last nowadays all the year round. Because this world illumination is shot and the other one side of the heavenly body made the uncultivated land that cannot live, other one side was become put feudal jail on the ice darkly forever. The mankind of remaining lives between area of these two extremes, be forced to move between scattered oasis ceaselessly. Your angle is slow and mobile can live area, can die otherwise.
This is " final oasis " world outlook set, but it is not another enclothes simple gut in another to live game enjoys the work changing a skin over the law, however this game is all the germ of new think of a way, for instance large pedrail chariot forces the exploration system that the player moves ceaselessly with.
Nevertheless, the symbol that some live never is changed, be in for instance first inside a hour, you must cut a lot of tree, so " final oasis " unique part was not shown instantly. But to living for game lover, holding to novice tutorial to end is worthiness, and novice tutorial itself is not quite long also. I awake in a dark gorge, of a mystery, detached sound tells me how to finish a few primary jobs, who is the part that explained you after all.
Live to an Early Access for game, what its novice tutorial does is very perfect, normally this kind of game has many Bug, the strategy gift that only community makes lets solve your problem. What can imagine is, " final oasis " threw a large number of jobs on UI only, make no matter it is a function go up or the person makes cheerful on feeling. Become for instance mouse glide is gloomy option when, can broadcast different note, let you and of production system interactive became an extemporaneous ditty.
Fortunately, novice tutorial duration still does not exceed a hour, after understanding ABC, your task is to make " final oasis " a peculiar function: Ligneous pedrail car (Walker be been called) , it is having the long leg with general spider, can have flown on dune. Abrupt between, you can discover " final oasis " the game that made another kind.
Of epic class carry neatly
" final oasis " the wonderful part of Walker is inexpressible, even if be only most the Firefly of fundamental version also enough makes a person excited. A flock of players can make resemble dauntless naval vessel jointly like warship, but they are the sail composition that wood and beat rouse You Liancheng. This tool makes National People's Congress opens horizon, to it before in all game carry different, and it is spent to the player's freedom very tall also.
Had carry after providing, the player can fly from the ground, cross the desert of length and breadth of land around oasis. This kind of feeling and other pirate and live thematic MMO is like ever was acquainted, for instance " Atlass " , but because was joined gorge, chain of mountains is more interesting with oasis hill, this gives searched a road to bring very big challenge. Resembling is one replaced MMO of deep-sea pirate theme with land, actually, a hollowness, capacious ocean is done not have so exciting.
As contrast, " final oasis " although added the thing that can seek in great quantities, but maintained the atmosphere that is lost in dangerous desert however. Because Walkers can cross the mainland quickly, outspread area joined very big ground mark to help a player find a way, it still can bring powerful resource and goods, these are the skill that solve a lock those who cultivate li of new production bill of fare is necessary article. If player slowdown, the pithecanthrope that is called Rupu can launch attack. The PVP fight of game is not successful, but the sense that the person gives after the warfare system of this game experiences truly is very excited, attack and defence can let person memory rise " Mordhau " and " equestrian with chop kill " , click a mouse to be able to decide the way of ball lever brandish quickly, the adversary that forces you is in same case blocks a way.
In the actual combat with Rupu, the battle is compared to the person's feeling before any living game and MMO game have very big rise. It waves a bit, but the Rupu of low level also can bring very big challenge, because they are met,make strike back, this is in living is very scarce in game, even if be,do not have target chaos dot to also can feel very interesting.
The mobile base of originality
With the tradition live game lets everybody differ in a changeless map, " final oasis " force a player to move ceaselessly through turning living ground into the form of remains. Each living oasis was full of treasure, NPC and other player, but it exists 9 days only, can be melted by the high temperature place of the sun subsequently. Meanwhile, new oasis can revive ceaselessly replace old oasis, keep consistent with the slow change of upper living section. To live, players must enter these area venture, and dig what they need live resource, so that arrive at next oasis.
Only this one broke a tradition to live the practice with long-term and changeless game, it did not let you stop to build a huge base for you and friend, force player and everybody to migrate ceaselessly euqally however, almost most live game won't so do.
Because neither one can make the place of permanent house place, walker became the mobile base of players, be in nevertheless inchoate moment, the function that you can use is not much, it is OK that for instance simple cooking furnace is mixed Cheng Shui's tub, bigger Walker can become the base of army group, of contented and all member live.
If you choose to settle in a certain area, it also can become to live traditionally game. But those who compare cruel is, if you decide to collect branch, all things can bale in Walker, and won't be omited.
Be in " Atlas " after bad issuance, opposite of a lot of players puts game to feel very tired, although " final oasis " also fail to avoid server problem, but the enough playing a way of its interesting set and innovation lets live game vermicelli made from bean starch has enough patience, await atelier to resolve these difficulty finally, be in after all of 1000 people one side live game domain, fact of the person that can have the break out of an encirclement of a such innovation is belonged to not easy.
