Live Servers Neglected?

General Discussion Started Last reply 13 posts
Anyone else feel that during the PTS the live servers have been particularly neglected?

Adena spammers are rampant, Soul Shot lags, even starting to see an increase in the number of trains on the popular spots too..

I'm not badmouthing the GM's that are taking part in the PTS, because i belive thats an important process. Just trying to understand why the issues on the live servers aren't being the priority jobs?
Adena spammers are rampant, Soul Shot lags

Yes, today I noticed soulshots were not working properly (Phoenix server).
And yet they talk about server mergers... (which will increase the lag problem drastically).

Adena spammers walk freely across the market square in Giran.
The bots that I've been reporting for months are still there at their usual spots (at Varka etc.).
that lag is more related to the state of the hardware then the amount of players.. seriously do not bring up the player base as an cause for such lag issues as all servers have significant less active players now then say 2 years ago..

even if NC Soft made 1 NA & 1 Euro server those two servers still would not hit the max capacity of 6k which is the standard for the L2 NA servers..

don't believe me go look it up yourself, compare the current numbers to those of when they start keeping track which was around C5..

i hope 1 day it will just be 1 big server, or maybe two, will be so much more fun :P
it's annoying to do ofc, but it does help to make a /gm petition each time you see a new adena spammer

but then again yeah, you might think that even 1 lone GM could check each server's Giran every hour or so and ban the white chat adena site spammers :/
speaking of live servers...
is NC gunna fix all the problems since server relocation? or still worried about making pts run smooth?
Hi Hatemonger,

Can you clarify which problems you are referring to? We are working on one major issue with Phoenix, but if there are other major issues you are aware of, I would appreciate any additional information you can provide. Of course I would appreciate that information presented in a constructive manner. :)

Additionally, we will be offering an opportunity for feedback with the activity on this last PTS, if you would like to lay out your concerns at that time.

Thanks!

my concerns were layed out,dismissed, and locked... my problems on phoenix were sent to you via petitions from im assuming 80% of the server... hard to be constructive when the game is unplayable and players get 0 support.

Been that way for years with in game petition and i personally don't know anybody who had anything else then the copy/paste treatment
The first response through petitions is always automated, as far as I know.

-MoxieThe 'Soulshot lag' that is talked about in this topic is also something appearing on Sayha. Items and such are registered with lag (for example: you pick up adena, but only until 5 seconds later it's registered in the status log). This also goes for soulshots: during this "lag"-period, you are unable to use soulshots. For your technical guys: your CacheD server is not functioning all that well.

Note, this was an issue before and after the server moves this week.
