We just had a server crash last night during an invasion. Everyone in the invasion got stuck in a queue trying to relog until the server came back up and the invasion was cancelled. The territory got downgraded and no one in the invasion received their welfare… err I mean participation awards.
OPR is a mess too. I have <50ms connection and usually run at about 70fps. My melee attacks routinely go through other player’s character models with no effect.
This game can’t handle large scale combat for more than about 5-10 minutes.
War is completely unplayable right now… well, you can play (if you can call it that), but everyone just sits still. Its amazingly horrible… I say amazing, because someone over there has to be actually trying to mess things up for them to be screwing up this badly all of the time. One only needs to look at the introduction of the void gauntlet into a game that was already nearly entirely broken. They need new leadership now.
It’s perfectly fine to lay down the game for a couple of weeks to return later. Especially for newer MMORPGs.
But a better topic would be “Endgame content is near unplayable”
I really don’t think the devs thought there would be raids amount of people farming one area like in your videos plus they are aware of the void gauntlet causing lag. So two part make up your issue - riding the zerg is going come with lag in nearly any game - devs are already working on fixing the lag with the void.
Correct me if i’m wrong but I’m pretty sure that the lag everyone is getting comes from the VG Oblivion ability. On Eden we tested this out in a very large group of players in myrk. The second Oblivion went down and players started running through it you get the slide show. I’m also pretty sure that there is a dev post regarding this exact issue and how it is taking up 10x bandwidth when used.
The solution in the interim is to ask players in those groups to not use that ability when doing chest runs or anything with more than 10 or so players. Can’t say so much about OPR or Wars, people will do whatever they want so that will probably remain laggy if people are running VG/Obliv
Edit: Forums say this is your first post. Welcome!
Live support says “Your world is under maintenance.” but there is not any information or announcement. They’re just disconnecting some of the players and staying silent.
We’re in now.
But its a terrible way of communication.
At least give some warnings before the maintenance, so no one is going to spend orbs or anything like that…
