I thought this post would be "funny".

 

It's meant to put pressure on HCS which has been there for years.

 

It's further meant to be a heads up for a team that, I feel, needs to concentrate their efforts if they are "really so busy" working on the app. 

 

*waves to Zue* Finally. 

 

The question HCS needs to ask is why so many of us "expect" there to be lag. Their quest is to fix it ahead of time.

 

13:00ST is 14:00 HCS time. Good that you're planning for an afternoon of fixing issues. 

 

I hope you have hired peeps to deal with issues during the entire 72 hours. 

 

If not, as a client, I fully expect you to be working your a$$ off the entire time. 

 

I really hope that HCS steps up to the plate ahead of their app release. 

 

Please, please show me that my 10 years of experience has finally been relegated to past mismanagement and we can expect something better for the future.

There will be lag. Period... End of story.

 

Their servers aren't equip to handle a lot of activity... Codes to blame probably as well. A little bit of both create the perfect masterpiece.

Will there be lag ? - are there 7 days in a week ? - of course there'll be lag.

 

The only question is how much - will it just slow down a bit, or will it grind to a halt ...

Eddie Izzard : The National Rifle Association say that guns don't kill people, people do. But I think the gun helps, you know ? I think it helps. I think just standing there going "BANG" - that's not going to kill too many people, is it ?

 

I don't mean to sound pessimistic, but it seems that everything I eat lately turns to poo ...

Servers ... bad / poor coding ... cloudflare ...   lag is a possibility each day and more so when events are running ....

 

 

 

It may also be a question of what country you are playing from as to lag due to  cloudflare

This just in:

 

In a misguided attempt to prevent incoming lag, all HCS server hamsters were given extra food.  Unfortunately a bag of chocolate chips was inadvertently added to the feed, and 4 hamsters have succumbed to a sugar overdose.  Although they will eventually survive, HCS officials are debating whether to substitute gerbils in the interim, or just use rats from the Legacy rat races and Mountain Path.  Stay tuned for an upcoming press conference to announce the final decision.

 

:P

I said no :))))))) I hunted just fine last event and i believe the same will be true this event, sure might be a little increase in delay between refreshs for example but it wont effect hunting :))))))

lag is always worse on the first day - players who have been saving their stam rushing to hunt, then eases up on the 2nd and 3rd day

 

a horrible case of dog lag:

Really? I don't think suggesting peeps go to other games is really a good idea. Also pretty sure it violates the user agreement.

 

Anyway... how about we focus on making FS better? Making it a positive game environment and fixing the issues.

 

Especially ahead of that app. 

 

Thanks to Chooma for the optimistic outlook and thanks to peeps that made me chuckle. 

 

Keep it rolling.

 

Firmly believe that we might be able to teach a new dog, old tricks, for the benefit of the entire FS community. 

 

You don't believe it... check post #13. ,oP

Someone start a post for everyone that plays during the xp event and experiences lag.

 

 

1. players In game name

 

2. Activity ( leveling,  pvp … etc )

 

3. Time experienced lag and how long it lasted

 

4. Type of down time i.e. ( Black screen, can't move on map, cloud fire not found, master data base can't be found )

 

5. Number of players active at the time

 

 

 

Hopefully the devs can post the topic on the home page so we can get an exact statistic not just he said she said

this way we can get some (hopefully truthful information ) so that if can give the devs something to look at for future prevention of this problem

Apologies... I misinterpreted "move on". 

 

Edit: Uncola's #16 post is a great idea. My caveat is that HCS should set it up for proper feedback ahead of that app.

Sadly it appears a bovine has let a fox into the server room causing all hamsters to cease pedalling incase it notices them.

 

As a result cowboy proclaimed enough! shouting down from his parapet string theory does not apply to our code resulting in an extended stop work meeting where quantum physics and fallensword wiki were quoted ad nauseum leaving one person standing after several hours of consuming a fine single malt ... it is all over to you Zue can you save us from this impending Doom ......TBC

Hi there.

As ever, we will be setting extra servers live and doing our very best to minimize lag.
