Jesus yes. It's ridiculous at this point.

The points have been made about the dungeons, they do have a lot of HP and hit awfully hard for the average heroic group. The reward for going through this content? Wooden boxes.

they need to do a few things
1) merger servers so half the servers are not waste lands
2) fix Lag
3) fix the other major bugs
4) stop doing huge GU and do a 1hour thing every other week or something small increments is always better
5) consolidate the class's from 24 to 12 and then add in about 150 aas give each of the 12 class types a new aa tree that forces you to pick one or the other tree to reach the bottom and best ability's or go down both and be more hybrid i am thinking something similar to how WoW has there aa trees or w.e they call it only played the game briefly on a friends account but i remember having 3 choices where you could put points in any but going down just one line let you reach the bottom
6) anything else i forgot

Got to thinking they are adding in grey quests for AA for a reason what if they are making a new tree with this expansion and thats the real reason they added in this feature to prepare for the new expansion (ie making sure everyone is as close to max AA as possible etc.)

Wouldn't surprise me as I really doubt they would do another level increase considering they just did that.

5 is not the answer, and 4 isnt that big of a deal, considering for soe most players dont play at that time, server merge's would have to be after they fix lag being originally from innothule and then got merged with CB that server is still horrid bc of how many people they have there, obviously that wouldnt be a server to merge but still lag first

The lag has almost nothing to do with amount of players total, it has to do with the ridiculous way they do zone sharing.

I just have this feeling that as new zones come out they don't redo their zone architecture, so all the new zones end up in the same clusters instead of being in clusters with old dead zones.

Benji · 05-17-2008, 12:49 AM

New zones should get their own clusters, one for each zone.. it's ridiculous to put multiple current zones on a single cluster, or even current zones + old zones. Push more old zones together. Turn off static zones people aren't in -- it'd take longer to zone a toon into a currently unused zone, but so fucking what?

The feeling I get is that they don't add clusters for the new zones at all and instead try to run the game with the same server size despite their being a fuckton more data to keep up with.

step 5 would be a step into balnceing out raids so 5or6 class's are never used
step 4 if and when they fix the lag would help avoid this happening again because its easyer to find out what is causeing lag when its a choice between 3 things patched and 30+ things patched like most GUs are

Slips · 05-17-2008, 09:42 PM

What 5 classes aren't ever used in raid?
