Official PvP in a nutshell (90% of the official players)

[SirDaveWolf]

I’ve been playing a bit on official PvP again lately, since Funcom has fixed the bad things you could do. This is what I observed

Here is an alternative

(The remaining 10% are just running away naked)

[Talyna]

And where is the dreaded Katana faction?
Training in the dark, for the coming time of conquest?

[SirDaveWolf]

Yes, I am training with them in the dark. With style

[Talyna]

This is fake! Katana users are totally invincible in pvp!

[Rekt]

Does this make me a weird one for sitting in the back with a bow?

[erjoh]

Meh…meta junk. If you socially condemned those that do cheap tricks, you could create a culture that actually counters it. No matter what FC does, it’s the win-at-all-costs type of players that will exploit the newest Meta and the cycle continues.

[Rekt]

You know how it goes.

Cows go Moo
Sheep go Baaah
PVP players go “The game is unbalanced”

[Kikigirl]

I chuckled at this.

Yes and uh, err… no?

[SirDaveWolf]

Official Server performance. So… baaaadddddddd

[CodeMage]

Well, there’s your problem:

The official servers are starting to remind me of the old BOFH stories:

“Show me an Ethernet collision and I’ll show you a network that could do with one user fewer,” I reply.

“But you’re always going to have collisions!”

“And I’m always going to be devoted to network performance enhancement.”

[SirDaveWolf]

It’s just so sad…

Other games like Rust can handle more players. But in Rust I think they do not build mega bases with 25k+ building pieces…

[erjoh]

and the game is fundamentally a different feel and type. CE promotes Epic natures…huge castles, large explosions, titans crushing buildings. Rust is a skirmish game so it promotes small scale.

[Tuffman]

Because there is a long, long list of things CE offers the player that Rust does not.

If you cut down CE NPCs to just deer, bears, and the Red Mother the game would run a lot smoother too.

[SirDaveWolf]

Same server

[zput2bed]

They should have figured out server performance awhile ago fact it’s still a thing …. They should be able to have 50-60 people in a server no problem with how big the map is

[Bourgmestre]

the problem is here since the begening and to me it’s caused by the Gportal partnering

All official are on Gportal, and me & the gang experiment huge lag spike and poor performance on a regular basis on them while they are lock at 40 player.

in the mean time, Heavy modded private RP server with 60+ player are very smooth most of the time.

[Rekt]

Yup. Complain to G-Portal, not Funcom. The Devs are locked into some kind of contract that they can’t break even if they want to, so go to the source.

[erjoh]

Not buying that. Who would sign a contract of service irrelevant of service performance? If they are failing, there has to be a way out.
