Something like this has two resolution aspects combined.
The development code and queries that are run as players interact with the game, are they optimized to support “at scale” throughput.
The systems that host the game’s different “components” (LB/VIP, DB’s, firewalls, servers (virt/phys), log queues, disks, etc…), are they set up in a manner to dynamically scale out and up as needed based on player count.
#1 is typically done by developers in conjunction with guidance from arch/engineers/admins. #2 is typically done by arch/engineers/admins with minor consulting with code devs.
#1 and #2 are totally different skillsets. If #1 tries to crossover and also be the person that does #2 they better be world class experienced and methodical (like the caliber that gives talks and guidance to major symposiums and 100k+ conferences).
In reality C/VP leadership, directors, and managers usually don’t have the capability to assess the potential of the team members accurately and get into trouble overestimating their capability to produce deep well rounded solutions that combine great code that scales and solutions footprints that dynamically scale as needed based on load.
These trolls saying “refund” will have 80 hours in Steam by the beginning of March lol. The fact that they didn’t just refund right away, and are taking the time to join the forum and Discord to complain means they really like the game.
But… they… post on the forums… Don’t get so frustrated about things you have on influence over. Play the game you played before Last Epoch 1.0 came out. Call a friend, visit family. Stuff won’t be fixed quicker if you talk negative about it.
Played all day yesterday with no issues but today cannot even connect. Tried to look up info but I see nothing about the servers being down. Anyone know whats going on?
Great response.
I was downvoted in Reddit for saying that it might be related to a lack of optimizations/expertise in servers from the dev team. People get it personally when they need to look for some help with the servers.
The game is fantastic and fun; look for people to fix the servers or work on the optimizations.
They’re exacerbating the issue by deciding to communicate less. On the Friday, i think, they announced that they told their team to close private DMs on Discord (why would they have been open anyway?) because of the absolute sheer level of toxicity from immature players.
There is a significant overlap in the venn diagram of Discord users and younger players.
So anyway they’re communicating less. Which just frustrates more people. Which just makes them want to communicate less. Lol, like
By the way, sometimes when loading a zone the game may close on its own. Sometimes it folds and unfolds on its own. And it started to launch in a window, although it was full screen.
Yeah Wolcen had your stash deleting items randomly, bosses deswpaning right as they’re supposed to die, and a whole lot of other game-breaking issues that can’t even begin to compare to this situation.
, with that said if its not a hardware issue then invest in expert who knows how to fix this.
