Hi all,

 

Due to the server issues and also the issue with players in the UK & Ireland having connection issues to the game, we've decided to extend the Double XP event by an additional 24 hours to ensure everyone has an opportunity to take part in it.

 

We've been working hard to improve and optimise the server performance and we think we have it working well now. There may be the odd small lag spike due to the popularity of the event, but it should be down to an absolute minimum now.

 

Apologies to anyone affected by these issues and we hope you enjoy the additional time we've added to the event

The lags so terrible people can't even hunt so whats the point in extending.

It's still bad someone i know just wasted a full round of pots and had to stop because he couldn't do anything. I mean i'm all for extending it but as long as the lag persists there really is no point.

Not seeing any issues with the servers at the moment - it may be an issue with their connection to the server but that's something outwith our control sorry.

 

If it's an issue with the servers then everyone would be affected by it.

The new doubler 2250 potion really helped limit the impact of lag during my hunt.

TY for all the hard work guys but there is still lag its at a min but pages still take 2 to 3 secs to load and yes cleared out cache and even ccleaner doesn;t help.

Just checked the servers and they all look to be running well. Unfortunately this may be an issue with your connection to the server.

FWIW, no lag here any more ..

[handitover]

Lol thanks for checking just reboot computer and seems  fs is ok . Should of did that before posting in here .

Just some thoughts on this matter.

 

1. I understand those with issues wanting this extended but it really lets some of the low levels with low max stam rack up some hunting, feels like some with higher max stamina has been cheated here.

 

2. Events always cause lag, rather than not have them why not just give a 2xp potion that last for 24hrs (Still thinking of a way to do a lag less LE event).

 

3. I hunted before the extention with minimal to zero lag so Im kinda wondering if people are just not complaining for the sake of complaining and to get an extra hunt or so in.

 

4. I hope people veiw this as constructive criticism as it is supposed to be that.

 

Thanks Hoof, I know how much you all put into this game and I want you to know this.

 

Sincerely

Players logged in has nothing to do with it really the big factor is activity of the players and what they are doing. 600 players hunting is a lot different then 800 players just logged in.

Epic, a few years ago we had 1,000, 1,500, even 2,000 players online at a time. And during 2x events, in general there was low to no lag. Fast forward a few years and the new average for an event is 600, and we run into big lag. something doesn't add up there.

 

Another suggestion is possibly reduce having so many events going on at the same time. Adding 4 new titans, opening up the seasonal areas, and having a 2x event is a lot of strain on the game, so to speak.

 

Props to Hoof for constantly checking in to make sure the servers were working smoothly and making tweaks to adjust the server. This saved many peoples hunts / enjoyment of the event.
