We released an update today that we believe improved stability and are working feverishly on a fix for performance. The void gauntlet introduced a problem with status effects where they are using approximately 10x the bandwidth they should, resulting in performance issues when multiple status effects (not isolated to Void Gauntlet) are fired off.
I am here with you as well. I have been an advocate for patience and positivity amongst many of those that feel quite opposite. I have continued to have hope that things will be corrected throughout my entire game playing experience which is a lot. I have logged in every day since release for hours. This latest patch has completely destroyed my desire. If nothing else, I sincerely wish they would just disable wars/opr until there is a fix. Winning or losing is not fun when all circumstances are out of your control.
I was extremely naive to believe that they would have done something over the last two days. There is zero reason that is believable… that nothing that went wrong with this patch has been resolved. No excuses. I understand that they ‘are working on a fix’… but until then, lack of communication and the insane amount of instability are extremely frustrating. Even to players like me who typically understand the technical side of things and preach patience to the masses it has become unacceptable this patch.
I do hope, that whatever they decide to do… they do it with swiftness. What is left right now, is a pit of nothingness. Empty farming spots, no pvp missions being done, no chest running… things that were monotonous… yet still active… are no longer such. We definitely need a game plan or something to look forward to… because this ain’t it chief.
i find that very hard to believe. some games are better then others but it comes down to how many void weapons are in the game. If you chain them and have no lag you are very lucky but there are literally 100s of us in discord all that have the same problem. I have very little ping no fps issues at all and the devs even made a post saying they know how bad it is…
Stacking Void Gauntlet AoE is causing the game to freeze in large scale PvP. Again, its more effects that trigger damage or healing multiple times per second on everyone inside it.
I’m sure AGS will nerf the CDR of void just so they can’t drop a few rather than just lowering the tick rate (and keeping the total damage over time the same) and lowering the graphical load…
How is 420 Mbps average. You realize there are a lot of areas in this country where getting 50 Mbps is as fast as they get. I work in networking you my friend have no clue what you are talking about
AGS has confirmed the lag issues. I myself have no lag but my best friend who has a faster connection, better computer, and is closer to the west coast server gets massive lag. You can’t use the check your connection when this games netcode is built on top of an old netcode that was awful.
It is not the void gauntlet that is causing the issues. It is the same issues that were there before.
They branched the code for 1.1 before it included any of the bug fixes for the lag in wars and a bunch of other things.
This is a giant development mistake because the did not roll any of the patches from live in to the dev builds and did not test how the dev build would impact live.
Most of the time you would have expected to see the full intended release in a PTR for a few weeks before it goes live. What we got was a partial release to PTR to try and build hype for the void gauntlet. They did not even bother to listen to any of the feedback from people playing the PTR.
