64-Bit Game Performance, Transfers, and Unpacking Adjustments

[mn--]

Facts:
-Game is UNPLAYABLE ATM for MANY PEOPLE.

Though apparently not for all.

Logically this means that there should be some room for analysis on those differences and improvement? Having been involved with time-critical server-side stuff elsewhere, the measurement principles aren't necessarily all that fancy but the implementation may sometimes be.

I find it amazing that you casually accept incompetence. EXPECTED failure???? what??? lmfao too good. That literally says WORLDS of info.

The game 'should' settle down and work better????? lol????

Is that what you tell yourself when your insurance provider doesn't offer coverage??? you casually lay over and accept everything NOT provided??? what????? LOL

Literally crying. TY for this laugh. honestly

You were right, Laymans lol. too good. forums are fun now lol

Where I live, it's called the "Bread and Circuses" policy. While we have several structural and performance issues, let's release the expansion so people can forget about it.
For years, everyone has wanted a stable game. We don't need add-ons. We need a smooth game... where we can go on raids and improve our gear. What's the point of chests, expansions, and everything else if we can't play?

Would it make the game better if they posted Weekly/Daily or even Hourly "We ae working on it."?

Every 15 minutes.

They should hire a Crisis Responder who does nothing but cycle between the forums and the discord, apologizing and letting us know they are working on the problem.

Video genuflections would help also. You need to hire maybe a 20 year old to do this because the current staff's knees would be destroyed by that kind of action.

you say comparison is wrong, but it's literally the same.

It is NOT the same.

You pay for xyz service to "whatever". Maybe you accept your money going down the toilet for no reason for whatever reason. My comparison i say, sticks.

Nobody here has to pay to play this game. NOBODY!!!
Insurance is something that one MUST have in most countries.
Your comparison PROVES you believe this game to be as important as insurance.

IT IS NOT!!!

It's a GAME played for entertainment purposes.

PERIOD!!!

When you purchased your VIP, you were told that there could (would) be service interruptions due to game improvements. Well, this is their attempt at improving the game. If you are unhappy with the game's performance during this transition period, you can drop your VIP, like I and others have done.

The game is at least sometimes useable.

Insurance sank me into the poor house 3 separate times when it was supposed to have saved me.

Insurance is a ******* scam, at least DDO gives me something for my money.

Bad comparison, try something else.

SSG is clearly not going to fix the transfer problem--not to mention all the other problems with lag, etc.--for at least another month or so. I will watch my email, but there isn't a reason to keep checking here to see if anything has changed. There are many voices and posts, but no real updates. We keep getting told something is fixed, and then the "fixed" thing is still broken. Although I'm certainly not going to pay for anything until things are fixed to the point of being playable, eventually, I will probably come back.

Yes indeed. I would never expect something as complicated as DDO to be solved over night.

This is EXACTLY why Larian Studios was so successful. Because they indeed listen to the community. They consider it their ya know, actual job and stuff. So weird right?

A company that actually listens to their player base because they realize that no matter how much stuff you offer, what the players want; is the most important. Because without a happy community, you have a dead game.

The fact that a community manager does not respond to community other than "hit response 1 or 2" says a lot. "we are working on it. thanks for your patience". That says nothing what so ever. It's impressive he still has a job.

I'm pretty sure AI is coming for his job. So at least we will see improvements soon? lol? KIDDING! maybe

wrong again. It's simply a service. provided by a company. When said service isn't working, you have proved that you will cancel that.

This is why they need to listen to the community more. There is a vast majority in here that say they want performance over content. That should mean something. It is prevalent in conversation. I'm not speaking for myself. I'm simply reading the vibe of the community and i see that clearly most would prefer performance over releasing say new content?

It's sad that you cancelled. But at the same time i can understand why you would. This "team" is very mediocre at best as a company. They literally ignore who and what makes them money, the community.

***?

yes, yes it is. some times.

I truly believe that they will have to fix the transfer problems and lag. Because they have to. It's a business. Everything revolves around money. It's realistic. This is why you chose to avoid giving that money. Because service is undelivered.

It just may take them a minute to wake the heck up and listen to who pays them? The community.

What a concept.

 

[Darco]

Wrong again. My comparison says simply what i want to spend money on, in said service, should simply deliver said service.

It's really quite simple friend. I think you missed the point. It's fine and i have no strong feelings one way or the other. (True Neutral).

Well, I mean, they had 19 years to solve some of the stuff ...

Pay money for a fully working service?

 

[Darco]

Some are in positions of decision making. Some times they are out of their scope. Some times they get out of the loop on why they are even doing things. It's human nature. I honestly think they need to listen to the majority of the community.

I play a lot of games. I've seen indie studios create absolute masterpieces. I've seen AAA fall to failure. I've seen some studios who listen to their player base because they actually realize that they, are who what make them money. The sated players who love the game and don't want it to die off into obscurity because it's a 'gem'.

My only hope for DDO which i love as a unique game, is that the devs actually listen to who made them who they are. No matter who you are, no one gets through life alone. Respect your community who makes you who you are and open your long ears????

2 cents

 

[Darco]

i could never judge new devs coming in after vet devs; and creating new content. A game like this. They have to pay the bills after all, yes?

Most likely under the scope of Wizards? I mean Wizards of the Cost, demand share holder results? Lets be realistic here.

They do have a gem here though. All they have to do is listen to the player base.

So hard. lol

Odd, I have not seen someone claim anything is fixed, not from Standing Stone Games anyway. They have been silent, and that has pissed everyone off as much as anything else could have, I guess.

All I see is endless speculation and pointless bickering on these forums from users who think they know how to build and manage a MMORPG, that none of them have anything but user-access to.

If Larian listened to the players, they would have rolled that die right after the first version they showed to the players !

Larian Studios don't know how to create good RPG games. All they can do is make one huge map and place time-wasting objects on it, like 500 barrels with 100 forks and 200 spoons in each, forcing players to dig around in them for hours instead of actually playing.

You... You aren't required to check all the barrels dude. Just play the story content. I promise the barrels won't get offended.
