Can't Login - Character Could Not Be Saved

Just returning from a several month break and can't seem to find wtf the solution is to this problem.

I jump into character select and every time I try to log in to my main, it briefly flashes loading screen and boots me back out saying 'Your Character Could Not Be Saved'.

I can log into other random alts I have, but simply can't get in to my main. I've logged out/in, restarted, reinstalled, etc. all to no avail.

Anyone at all familiar with this issue? I can't seem to find any troubleshooting/information regarding this problem.

Glitch where you cannot log in due to "Your character still being saved" and "Your character could not be saved". You will have to open a in-game ticket on another character to fix this status. The GM will respond that they have modified your character and ask that you try logging in again

Well I was hoping I wouldn't have to deal with ISP-esque customer service. Pretty much everyone that mentioned this said they'd randomly get their ticket closed and told 'sorry, you weren't online when the GM tried to contact you'.

Especially since I'm not going to sit and wait around online doing nothing for when a GM arbitrarily decides to respond.

If you open the ticket now, you *might* get a response by the time your alt hits completionist.

Do not expect a resolution.
  

I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

Maybe it was a note from the GMs that your character wasn’t and isn’t worth saving

Oh yea, their CS is garbage as with everything else under the DBG umbrella lol. I'll still be keeping an eye out, but simply isn't any point to play until this character is fixed.

While the Better Business Bureau may be pay to play, Standing Still Games outright earned their F-rating the honest way...by making their customer service experience arguably the WORST in the gaming industry.

Yup, just as their parent company Daybreak has an F as well. They've gutted the staff of every game they've touched. (see Everquest)

The funny thing of it is the BBB isn't nearly as "P2W" as people think. They are, at their core, a neutral third-party that exists to arbitrate disputes between customers and clients. You cannot buy a rating, and plenty of businesses maintain an A+ rating without ever giving the BBB a cent.

If you look at all of SSG/Turbine's BBB cases, there are something like 15-20 total, and they never raise a finger. The problem isn't that they are refusing to pay the BBB to lie on their behalf, the problem is that they have shitty CS and aren't taking even the simplest steps to correct it.

It's almost as if Daybreak further divided games into separate entities (Darkpaw & SSG) in order to detract from the real culprit..

Whats funnier still is its not like most of these problems are hard to solve. All you need are CS reps who give even a single fuck and have the power to do things to improve customer satisfaction. Other games have this. And, surprise surprise, those games end up making way more money. Happy customers spend more.

That's apparent across all industries lol. Good luck convincing corporations to cut even a penny into their short term gains.

It's chopped the number out of the URL and put that part on the next line.

I get that part, but I'm more interested in why it did that.

Yeah, ok, that is definitely an example of some poor practice. I am impressed that Hamas got an A+ rating, though.

I will say the entire BBB is not a scam, though, based on considerable dealings I've had with them from both sides(EG as a member and as a consumer). Keep in mind selling the memberships is just like any sales job: some of your sales reps will be fine, upstanding people who know how to promote the product, and some of them will be predatory scumbags. Don't be quick to discount the entire organization.

My point, though: it would not cut a single penny into SSG's short-term gains. Especially if they cut corners to resolve cases faster. Let's say hypothetically you were in a raid that became incompletable due to a bug and you opened a ticket with CS. Here's two possible CS responses:

Response A: "Oh, your raid bugged? We're sorry about that, here's 64 raid runes for your trouble."

Response B: ~3 days silence. Ticket closed without comment.

Both of these cost SSG the exact same amount to implement. Which is more likely to make the customer keep spending money?

I agree lol, I'm just saying you see too often the failure to have a more nuanced decision such as what you stated.

>Operational/Administrative roles are gutted and the blowback from said gutting isn't seen until it's too late.
