yeah I saw that. could be true since teh smed admitted on the SWG boards to hiring someone who once cracked through the EQ2 encryption. Because anyone with skills like that would be an asset to a company like SOE /puke /barf

Hehe about 3 years ago I was using vipersig on some forums I used and people were actually getting pissed at me and thought I was hacking them and posting their IP with smart ass comments for everyone to see just to mess with them. "How did you get my IP?" "I have to know how you got my IP" Funniest thing ever.

Hello Everyone,
 
We just wanted to say thank you to all who participated in the first series of Restuss Events last night on Ahazi, Bloodfin, Radiant, Scylla, Eclipse and Naritus. The Battle of Restuss is the first of its kind for SWG or any other MMO, and we are glad that so many people logged in to check it out! We do consider this a learning experience and did monitor server performance last night. We know many players had some issues with lag and overall performance.  A couple of servers had some problems switching over the event. We apologize to those of you who experienced any difficulties.  With this in mind, we are planning on pushing out a fix the beginning of next week that we hope will improve server and client-side performance. This should help all players during upcoming Restuss Events as well as any other future large-scale in-game events.

Associate Producer, SWG

Hey guys wanted to jump in on Vapors thread. When I made the comment at the Stratics HoC chat that we would not have lag we were all working hard testing the event and felt solid about the outcome. Obviously our tests did not mimic reality for everyone and some of you were affected. I am genuinely sorry for that. Our intent was to deliver an epic server wide event and we are working to improve the Restuss encounter for the servers who have not yet experienced it.

Who is this Jneri guy?  I played SWG for over 2 years and never even heard of him.  Is he new?

I sent a pm to Garva about Restuss last night. This is his reply:Re: Feedback?I was there, it wasn't a disaster, it was clientside laggy for sure but when there are 300 or so people around and you are totally switching the location dynamically it is kinda expected.I am sure they can probably improve the performance but given the circumstances I doubt ANY current mmo could handle that many people AND that type of dynamic change to the landscape, along with npc's and battle any better.*************I call BS, and I told him so...These guys are a disgrace. Edit: Here's a link to the message...http://imagedump.us/image.php?q=www.imagedump.us/uploads/1ff0b4a5c6.jpg

After upgrading to 1GB RAM (this was pre-cu) I can remember being in a 200 person battle with no issues.

For shits sake, lets say what Garva said is true...it was client side lag....the Devs would know the limit of what the client can do...like he said "I doubt ANY current MMO could handle that many people" THEN WHY OH WHY WOULD OYU MAKE YOUR FIRST MAJOR POST NGE CONENT ADDITION A HUGE PVP EVENT THAT YOU "KNOW" THE CLIENTS CAN'T HANDLE???????

And FWIW what he said was BS....

Pre-cu SWG would of reacted the same way to such an event , CU as well . The system  has always bogged down always . Bloodfin used to have 100+on 100+ battles almost every night Pre-cu . Everytime they were lag fests  ,but they were fun  .

Rememeber trying to PVP around a packed cantina pre-cu ? The second anyone initiated combat everything slowed to a crawl until you got far enough away . Most games would react the same way . This is network lag we are talking about , I have the best cable connection available in my area . I get lag all the time in big battles, Past or present I also have 2 gigs . My screen rate doesn't really drop , My specials won't fire is the problem . I remember Pre-cu lag so bad my attacks would go off 10 mins after I was dead and couldn't clone.

If you played on Bloodfin then you should remember the battles between my guild NDC and MASC city, way more people than this event had at it, But only once do I remember the server crashing from it. IMHO the lag is worse than it was preCu around say publish 9 and 10. For some reason there is also more packet loss in the NGE. This type of game is just not designed to run this type of combat system efficiently. Back to the drawing board with this one. They can still claim that they were the first to try it (fps based targeting system in a large scale MMO).

Public Relations,

want to take this time to welcome the new members of our Moderating Team.

Two right now I'd like to mention is Solen and Synric

Solen is one of the guys who works at "The Galaxy Report" and I'm glad he's here.

Synric as far as I know is fairly new to the scene but hey, who knows, I'm use to dealing with 3000 names, of course I'm going to remember his XD


Not only are they Moderators here, but also on our IRC channel (or shorly will be once they get some basic IRC understanding.

So yeah, they have our support and unless some strange stuff happens, their word is our word, and our word > your word.

There are a few others who I had said I'd make Mods and once I get back to them *coughDraikencough* I'll add them to the list here.

May the Schwartz be with you Mods, you're gonna need it =P

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

solen,

i just hope i can do more here that at The Galaxy Report, even though im the producer i do very little. check it out if your still interested in seeing what SOE's doing at www.thegalaxyreport.com

Looks like Solen ran off to Mod on the Emu site. Though good in concept I never have put much stock in emus since they provide next to no community. Lets see if they can evade SOE and LEC's lawsuits long enough to even get it off the ground. I still think that once they say "we have lift off they will get slammed with a lawsuit and it will go down faster then Bloodfin did during the restuss event. But that’s just my opinion and I'm entitled to it.

*edit* and no I'm not a fanbio for SOE, I quite playing that POS, rollback or nothing for me. I just think MMO emus suck SWG or not. I want my old game back that I bought 2 1/2 years ago thats all.

LOL

I saw like 6 posts just now about the complaints of the lag. One of my guild mates just posted on my forums as it was happening and said its is horrible.

For the record I found his apology on the boards lol

"Well I have recovered from that debacle of a Summit. To the OP, I hade ONE HELLA Hangover.

I would like to apologize to the dev team, producers, and all the people in attendance for my poor behavior.

THere is no justification for how I was, what is done is done and I will not try and spin it anyway.

I would Like to apologize to Joodah for having to come in this thread and feel the need to defend SH.

I didnt go to the summit to represent Corbantis, the swg community, nor my PA. I went to represent myself ( I admit i did this rather poorly).

For the record I have not watched nor do I intend to watch the video of me making an Ass of myself.

Lastly I would like to apologize to Kim, I wasn't aware you still played that toon from time to time and if you catch any grief over it I am truelly sorry.

If I intentionally or unintentionally offended anyone, I am sorry."
