Blessed is he who in the name of charity and good will shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord ...when I lay my vengeance upon thee." -Samuel L. Jackson (Pulp Fiction)
Overtkill Posted July 4, 2012 Report Posted July 4, 2012 Okay, that was some mind numbing unit rave action...
Overtkill Posted July 4, 2012 Report Posted July 4, 2012 Careful with that. You might go blind playing with it. 1 1
Kyp [LDEV] Posted July 4, 2012 Report Posted July 4, 2012 When Kenu tells me all is said and done as a freebie i'll wipe the entire servers XP debt. (although I can't help you with item quality and so on, no reasonable way to track it)
Kenu [CDEV] Posted July 4, 2012 Author Report Posted July 4, 2012 restart complete. The event will proceed in a few minutes.
Riz Posted July 4, 2012 Report Posted July 4, 2012 (edited) So if I log in, I should log in with Shea I guess. Edited July 4, 2012 by Bloody Riz
Kenu [CDEV] Posted July 4, 2012 Author Report Posted July 4, 2012 thanks for participating. It gave me very valuable information that I can use to improve this raid. I hope you had a good time and hopefully you will see this in game soon. Happy fourth!
Muhir Posted July 4, 2012 Report Posted July 4, 2012 It was good fun, Kenu. I do have a question regarding the crashes/lag. What can we do to correct it. I, like many, always assumed my lag i live was because of the crappy computers and even worse connections, but after today, I am wondering if it isn't something to do with the game?
Kenu [CDEV] Posted July 4, 2012 Author Report Posted July 4, 2012 I believe the lag was caused by all the firing effects. I reduced the number of weapons the mobs had which should reduce some of the lag but there's only so much we can do. There will be another test of this raid soon with increased mob damage which should also help us see if the lag reduced at all.
Kyp [LDEV] Posted July 4, 2012 Report Posted July 4, 2012 The lag has to do with handling all of the data in the area. Tienbau works on that using the Fishbowl as a test case, so the more people that run the Fishbowl the better for lag induced by masses of bodies. It helps him collect data on it.
Taluna6 Posted July 5, 2012 Report Posted July 5, 2012 Sadly i been AFK /Asleep that time ... has anybody made pictures or even better a video?? What kinda raid was it? where happened? what Bosses/Minion types been there?? ARGH need input )
