They did a Call to Arms event one time, where we needed to level to 25 to get free upcoming DLC. I think it was for stress as well as server behavior, however they were doing daily rebootskis then.
Office in east coast, US is the “server contact” for US and one EU server. Only they can call for the ole kick in the server pants.
It is up and pet follower seems to be working much better then before the server went down. Also lag related issues with NPCs jumping around is not happening now either.
But, and this is critical, are you supposed to TEST on the TEST server or is it like a Lamborghini shell with no engine, stearing, wheels, or electronics?
And, just spitballing, but to TEST, should the TEST server be reachable?
Yeah, I guess. In my case I just put up the server myself. I’m not interested in dealing with a FC server - just playing with and finding bugs in, the 3.0 client they gave us.
I’ve done the same thing, but not everyone has the tech skills or spare equipment. So wanting a stable, even if it’s wiped quarterly, environment is not a huge ask.
This is part of testing. This is where they identify server breaking bugs.
But, I suspect, the issue is with the Testlive equipment, as often has been the case when Testlive is running the same code as Live but goes Zombie for weeks at a time.
PVP and PVE-C are empty. EU is at 46, about capacity; depending on builds. EU is acting as bad as the US one was before it went down.
If I’m test driving a car I don’t want it to have bald tiers. Not sure any dev I have tried to help ever listened, but we need another US PVE server opened on testlive.
Was fine when it came up this AM. Now I’m got all those “going to crash soon” symptoms. Thrall quit following, enemies teleporting, can’t place thralls or pets on constructs.
