concern about lag in rvr and high pop servers

zelahe

already seeing big lag in rvr on high pop servers. wonder how its gonna be when we get loads of l40ties..

So finding a population that is playable is gonna be a key question for this games survival. Right now i dont think i will take more then a month sub to see if they can get it together..

 

It is a lovely game but has to be playable also on high pop servers especially rvr..

Not sure that it is really population.  I see a wide variety in performance for people in my guild and it doesn't seem to be based on population or how good their computer or connection is.

 

Yeah I get more large in larger battles, but it is hard for me to say how playable it is or if you will have problems because there seems to be a good bit of inconsistency with no obvious pattern (without digging deep into hardware config stuff)

Here's something for you..

 

On the server I play on, I get a lot of lag in the T1 Dwarf/green skin area. (gates of eglund). it's to the point that I press "attack" and hope the guy doesn't run off screen before my frozen ball of death is unleashed.

I haven't seen very much lag. The only lag i experienced was a couple nights ago in scenarios. I did take part in what was approximately a 50v50 keep battle one night and i didn't see any lag there.

Your question may be answered better in the WAR alliance forums. Many people, I'd say a good percentage of the pop, is experiencing these problems. I didn't buy the game after open beta because I had em and saw that the game would take at least 2 months of patch work before it would be properly balanced. I might give it another shot after its been out for 3-6 months.

Yes balancing the server may be an issue although aside from the few spikes I may get, it has been fairly smooth. I am not going to tell you to give it three months as that is a bit foolish. The game should work when released at least server wise. I can't give any answers for your problems nor mine which are rare. Do you like the game aside from that...or are the lag issues game breaking for you?
