Anyone feel free to correct me if I’m wrong here but I think they can’t increase the numbers of spawns, or increase player numbers per server due to the very cheap database system they chose to use (sqlite).
It would be amazing if they could upgrade this but I have a feeling it won’t happen, and as such we are stuck with a database system that was never intended for the use they put it to.
This might also be the cause of the mild stuttering when moving to new biomes
If you recall, before update #33 there was an abundance of wildlife roaming, creatures to encounter. I walk through the jungle and it’s nearly devoid of all life. I walk past New Asgarth and 2 boar, no wolves, elk, where it used to be you couldn’t go very far without having a wolf or three attack you.
There has been a great decrease, and Joel did speak on removing creatures in a couple Dev Streams back.
It is lifeless. The challenges are less and less.
The server I play on has the super long death spin respawn time and hangs on login. The admins say we’ve never had the unconscious bodies option enabled. So either that’s not really the issue or there is another source of problems.
I loved that thing… it is useless as a thrown weapon. as it doesn’t really knock someone out any faster that way… and you basically lose the weapon. I understand why. I don’t even disagree… but still… /sad
There’s no way to return to the server list once you choose to create a character. I think there should be a button at the bottom of the screen or somewhere to “Cancel and Return to Main Menu”. The only way to get out of it if you change your mind is to finish making a character, which can take a long time to load or to Alt+F4 out of the game!
All of this on Private servers (G-Portal one, like your officials )
AI from NPCS is inexistent, they still dont attack or defend… or almost nothing.
The performance is the worst 500-700 Ping 3 FPS.
The ghost weapon bug is again on the servers, watch people attacing you with no weapon is anoying as hell.
Thralls dissapearing through the foundations, ceelings, etc…
No more trebouchets on ceelings because they dissapear, and on some foundations too.
No more traps on the Silent Legion dungeon ( Why did u do that? Now the game is for kids?) The same at the dreggs dungeon no more play with arrows for activate the water? Come on guys… making a minecraft or what? :S .
And a bunch of building bugs and a lot of things… that u guys didnt fix :S
These are the things we were able to get fixed since launch which only happened a week ago. The other issues that we ARE aware of (thank you for the reports) can take longer to fix. Thank you for your patience.
