Performance on Lamannia, Preview 2

[Tolero]

Use this thread to discuss your experiences with performance during the Lamannia preview 1. We recommend playing in quests that you are very familiar with, and if you notice something unusual during your gameplay, let us know. Important: Please include the /loc and include the part of it that specifies the server number.

Update: No changes from the last preview, but the ones that were added last week are still in effect.

Off-hand, not noticing any issues from it so far, but also lam often performs differently than live. I'm not sure what all I should be looking for or what might have been changed. Like was NPC/mob behavior altered? Should I be trying escort quests to see if they're better? Or is it just general performance changes?

I guess it's all about us finding something wrong rather than bias where to look for.

Circling back around here on this: yes there's a bit of a placebo effect we're trying to avoid. The change impacts some of the deep inner workings for how various creatures and non creatures communicate with the deep inner workings. So if it has gone wrong it will manifest in the course of normal quest gameplay. Based on how things have gone so far (it has seemed normal enough in preview 1), a place you could scrutinize would be combat, especially with groups of monsters, and when certain drama moments start/end. Spoiler alert: think like the drama scene with Vecna in the Isle of Dread intro quest or with the Spinner's Prison scenes with Lloth and the Spinner of Shadows.
