Goodday Theia, nice to see u doing this. (thanks!)

 

I have a couple questions regarding the comment about u watching the 90 man fight.

Did u see any faults with the game in the fight ? Yes I did - the ES Tower fight / the tower was placed right on the edge of a node.  So that caused loading in problems - I have raised a bug on this and asked if we can stop towers/pylons being dropped righton the edge of a node. 

Do SV have any plans on increasing server performance in any way ?  Think this is more around Optimisation - there are still lots of areas within the wider map where there is opportunity to improve this so I wuld expect to see smoother transistion in the future (tm).  

When PvPing in a large fight a normal computer has to be on lowest possible graphics and still u get bad performance like people sliding around and lagging like mad.  I personally don't lag very much at all - but then I do have amonster rig  - so those with older hardware may suffer a little more than those with new rigs.  We agree this is an issue s- so we're back to the optimisation again to try and help everyone.  

 

Will the game in a short term be able for normal(good) computers to play on higher settings or even on the lowest without getting mad lag and other issues making ur performance worse in a fight ? Yes, again down to optimisation - but - even on my 12GM RAM, SSD, i5 overclocked - I still cannot run it anywhere near maxed out!

 

And what about the prediction system, will that have any priority in the short term (meaning a few months) to get fixed so its not horrible, aka people tricking the system to get past blocks and movement sliding and choppyness ?  I don't think this is on the road-map right now. AI/ GUI next.

 

Last question, will bad nodes be optimized shortly ? Like Fab and other general "laggy" locations.

Yes we are already looking at this.

 

Thanks for the questions!

 

Awesome thanks for the answers.

I hope heavy optimization comes sooner than late then and hope this will solve the bad game performance for the general population.

If you were talking about his subscribers point, you should've just quoted that and replied, rather than throw in his whole statement, although if your quartely income is down once again and you keep having to cut staff and costs, it's probably safe to assume that subscriber base is going down.

The more you cut staff/costs, the less things get done. The less things get done, the more the playerbase gets upset and leaves. The more upset and the more that leave, the less money you have. The less money you have, the more you cut staff/costs.

It's an endless cycle of losing.

EDIT: Also on your FRAPS comment. FRAPS doesn't show anything more than "Hey, I saw 50 people once all duking it out." That's cool. That shows you have 50 people in-game. Nobody is asking for you to FRAPS anything. Nobody is asking for videos. EVERYONE wants a real number, and the only thing we have are translated financial reports that show that you are, infact, bleeding internally and have been for a long, long time.

 

Fairly sure I said more than '50'.  We can have a count up later I suppose 

 

Nobody wants your FRAPS video. That wasn't the point and but it seems you missed it. Let me restate it for clarity.

>> What we WANT/NEED.

>> All the information we currently have.

Thank you for posting here.

Some of you do want it some of you don't want it  - go to the MO Forums and chek the Videos and screenshots section - make your mind up on what the community have psoted. 

Well since you offered, post the video of the 100+ people. Atleast then we can verify atleast 100 people are playing the game.

Yeah, if you start picking and choosing who can posts on MMORPG.com based on whether you want to hear what they have to say or not you end up being as bad as the MO forums.

Meh, I am aware of that. Just shared my opinion as a player on having GMs here since Id prefer seeing them propaganda free (fans already do enough of that), fully knowing it doesn't quite matter :P

I think this is the fight Theia was talking about: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IeYltp2JXw

I see alot of people atleast up around 70 players without counting, I was there.

Im the spear guy in incisium with scale boots, kite shield and spear. At  around 1 minute, me and a friend got caught in the middle and tried our best not getting killed by either side as we were called out as enemies by both sides xD

heres the follow up vid with the people still online fighting at a later time: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQbHplrtL3Y

The game is pretty active from my perspective even though i try to stay in the less active parts of the game world, Doesnt seem to be as many solo players around though.

That's part 1 and part 2 yes ... since I have been warned (Infracted  for - which is fair enough - I broke TOS) advertising over here... I'll let the community post the Vids - woulnd't want to get into any trouble..

Right.. 70 players in a mmo with one server. I don't think I even need to comment further, case closed

Yeah, there were no other players in the entire Nave at that moment. Every1 that was logged in was there to fight... I like how you think that statement is "case closed". [Mod Edit]

So post it on the MO forums, and let me know when it's there. I'd like to see this footage that you've taken.

{mod edit}

And when can we expect the video of 100 people fighting?

Maybe you should start counting then. I can see 50 at max. That's half of 100.

I am also still seeing very large battles - for control - all over the map (just check the chronicles page) DC's keep went down.. much is actually happening, Meduli will likely fall later today..
