i knew that never winter was going to cause all these issuses , but NOOO no one wanted to believe me , until games started to lag , and then the big crash. maybe JUST maybe they will learn to have separate servers for their games , but meh prob wont happen but we can dream.
Why not just add servers for location, like West Coast, East Coast, Europe and Asia/Oceanic.
That would take the stress off of the one server and transfer the load to all the others
That's how City of Heroes did it. Worked pretty well too; when the West Coast servers skipped a beat and lost their hamster, the East Coast servers were still running, and people could play there until a replacement squeaker could be trained.
I know the thrown under the bus metaphor is cliche on these forums, but I think it is appropriate to use it in this context. Because Cryptic had nothing else to throw under the bus, they threw the server hamsters under it.
I'd be excited for neverwinter except for a few things.
#1. It uses the shooter mode from STO which you cannot change and if you get zerged by many npcs if you hit attack with your mouse like 6 times or more you most likely will not strike the intended 1st target which is problematic for me.
#2. Neverwinter is just a copy of STO, in perm shooter mode, totally 150% reused STO assets, they just traded in starfleet uniforms for shiny armor. I wouldn't doubt it if one of the people of never winter told you to report to admiral quinn or j'mpok.
thats admiral dowerty to you....quinn looks like htat guy from insurrection that gets his face stretched real good
All ships report to headquarters... red alert..... red alert...we're to engage NEVERWINTER...Arm quantum torpedoes FIRE FIRE FIRE send neverwinter to Oblivion FIRE FIRE FIRE FIRE wipe it of the face of the planet :mad:
I have one character that needed one shard to complete the bonus mission. Last night I couldn't get a connection and the lag was terrible. This morning I plan to log in before the event ends, and the server is down. It'd sure be nice to understand how we won't lose our progress but we can't queue up for the event anywhere. Am I stuck at 13/14 forever?
Bran, I think all of us wouldn't mind seeing a few hundred zen in our coffers as a token of our forgiving you of this inconvenience.... Don't you think?
and enough zen to get other characters for accounts. what do you think?.

City of Heroes may NOT be the best example as they disappeared without any warning to the players.

Brandon,

Well in that case...
DIE NEVERWINTER BEAST!
Still liked running the stf

Sulu only frequents classy establishments.
I would expect as least as much. No less.
