Severlin Said In Discord...

[Sturmbb]

Should Dev's spend their time working on the game or copy-pasting all their posts from one place to another

I believe SSG, have a duty to the playerbase to make sure anything important that is put on Discord should also be put on the official forums. Not everyone uses Discord (i have been burnt a few times from using it, and i refuse to use it again). Anyone with half an ounce of computer skills can copy and paste something in the blink of an eye. Unless your saying your not IT literate and you find copying and pasting one of the most complex tasks you have ever done on your computer

While I would love for the Devs to post more on the forums - I dont think we can rightfully claim that the posts on Discord are truly important (the word you used).

Some of them are interesting but I rather doubt any are truly important.

These posts are actually quite important and are not on the forums at all - further they'll get lost in discord quickly too. Discord is very crappy for official communications.

Would you mind explaining why just one specific post is *important*? Not just interesting but actually *important*.

I don't see any of them that are important in the sense that they will matter a month from now at all which makes them interesting now but not important.

Posts about the state of the game and the work done for lag? If you can't understand how those posts are important, then there is nothing I can do to convince you of anything. Good day.

Importent is something you get to act upon.

Interesting is something you get to read about but does not lead to any actions.

As far as I an concerned we do get most or even all the important info on the forum but far from all the interesting

Good day to you as well.

Important information is also something that while it may be inactionable for players in itself but a situation where there is a lack of said information leads to players performing inadvisable acts or conduct in behaviour that is not in the best interests of SSG and/or the playerbase.

In other words, even if said information doesn't enable players to directly act it, having some information may alleviate concerns, reduce rant posts, make less people quit the game, etc.

Trust and conveying understanding is important as well.

Would be nice if the owner of a Discord server (In this case SSG) could implement a process that copied certain users messages to an external file.

Discord doesn't support it, and I can see how the devs may not want to spend time effectively saying the same thing twice by cross posting.

It would be nice if Discord is going to be used for official communication, that there was a link to it somewhere on the game's page.

 

[FaceDancer]

Well if there's one thing I can say for SSG's consistency is that they are consistently inconsistent. There are (at least) five that I know of places where information seems to be disseminated (The DDO official Newz page, FB, Forums, Discord, X/Twitter, and maybe something else???). T'would be nice if they could synch the posts so that they propagated, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Some of the posts are "official" and some are just dev commentary so those really don't count (kinda).

I'm on Discord, but weeding through all of the jabber is a chore. The threads that highlight dev comments in other areas are appreciated, so a cookie to those who post them.

Some (not all) things Severlin said today (11/15) in the DDO Discord --

On Cormyr:
"Good morning. We are seeing a decent night for Cormyr, with only 1 lag spike alarm on our end after the patch. Although I expect more this weekend. We have some more substantial lag fixes coming next week, but how was the night?

We are still working on the mount fix for Cormyr. We have code that prevents it we are testing, but are working on the code to restore."

On Orien:
"Orien was rougher last night in alarms than we would like, but we will see after next week's fixes. Eventually we want people on 64 bit servers.
But the lag fixes seemed to help.
It's not the weekend, though, so yeah.

One of the engineers was going over the fixes they are working on for next week and showing the before and after and it was pretty exciting. Plus we have master server optimizations in the wings.
But also Orien got extra hardware yesterday as well."

On Getting Mists Mount on Other Servers:
"I think there's a bug that turning on the vendor also turns on the event and that is something that needs to get patched in?"

On Transfers off Cormyr:
"There is no reason why we can't eventually have normal transfers off (but not on) Cormyr. I pictured Cormyr as a permanent server and wasn't planning on having the free large scale transfers off like Hardcore because it isn't meant to be a temporary server, but I will discuss with the team."

On Transfers to Other 64-bit Servers:
"I can't answer that until we have a Cormyr server that is far and away better in terms of lag and we can justify the large hardware expense. If next week goes well and we feel that the performance improvement is there then the plan would be to open up new 64 bit servers with transfer enabled, sometime in Spring? (edited)
No promises."

Severlin commented on some other things like chat logging, someone's connection issues, and a player's bug in House of Death Undone, but I felt like these were most pertinent to what I've seen people discussing on the forums.

Isn't Cormyr one of the 2 servers we are all supposed to be on, once ddo goes 64 bit servers that people can just go to with thier guilds intact?

Sorry, I can care less about quests like death undone not working. I get that it is part of a saga, but the employees of Daybreak Games need to focus on bigger issues.

Only concern regarding DDO is if the 64 bit servers will be a fix and if a smooth transition to them is a reality.

I'm on Discord, but weeding through all of the jabber is a chore.

In the search box type "from: severlin" or "from: tolero". It'll correct you on their actual account name and once you've accepted that correction it'll show only the posts that they've made. With this you don't need to weed through anything unless you want the context the post was made under but in my experience their posts don't need that to be understood.

Cormyr is a fresh start server only. The servers that everyone will transfer to will come once they've fully implemented character transfers.

Thats some first class derailing with stuff thats 100% irrelevant to the OP

Just because you don't see the connection doesn’t mean there isn’t one.

Severlin mentioned server transfers from and also to Cormyr. I say they should make a fundamental decision on this matter by transitioning to an account-based DDO where also server borders matter a LOT less than now!

he said from and they have no plans for transfers to. By the way have enjoyed running some quests with you

I know that, but I'll confess to not wanting to have to plop in several different peeps names to see if they've been active or not (I'm lazy that way). Would be nice to be able to follow certain peeps within Discord (and get a notification when they post).

 

[Chacka]

Yes, you’re right—I most likely misread it because I saw what I wanted to see.
However, this doesn’t change my opinion. I believe an account-based DDO is the way forward. This would also mean that all progression retained after a TR should be account-wide, allowing all characters to benefit from your hard-earned (or costly) progression.
And therefore I also don't see a reason why a DDO veteran should not play with his earned and/or payd progression on servers like Cormyr.

If you copy and paste thing to another location then you must also reply to another location, and most of the time repeating yourself. It is inefficient.

Saturday night raiding 16/11/2024 on Orien: Severe lag on first (TOAD) raid only. Other raids were generally fine - which was really nice - though some lag after in Market Place. In TOAD there were repeated freezes followed inevitably by numerous party members dying before it jump-started again then this cycle repeated all the way up until the Dragon fight with the Phylactery destroyed. Minimal lag at the point we returned to fight the dragon and after but really bad up until that point. We started raiding with TOAD at 20:00 CET. The group leaders were getting reports at the same time from others outside the raid that people were having similar issues and couldn't log on.

Then at least put links to the official communication channels on the official page.

That's literally what a community/social media manager is paid for. If it's too much work to monitor them, SSG should have thought about that when they decided to have DDO "Official Twitter" "Official Facebook" "Official Forums" "Offical Discord" etc

what you are missing and why the use of other social platforms vs official forums. The cached pages and the fact that when goolge ddo it comes here not any 3rd party site. hard to hold them to what they have said there rather here. i am i sure ill get banned or yelled at for this post , that not breaking a single rule. but when you call them out on thier b.s that what happens. they also delete the you video that i commented on so classily.

i lost faith in the men and women that run ssg along time ago and this 64 bit sever is dead before it't even a thing, we need mergers onto them and them treated just like hard core till they came up with a way to make that work. let me give a few points on why its already a fail
1. its vip only. this is along going game and most of us still here are because of the friendships we made over the years. many i run with are not vip. and i take it this is the same for most others too.
2. ppl have trolled hard and have logged in just to claim name rights of toons.of well known player or ppl they dont like just to mess with them (a lot of us have job and are not on during day time hours ) if you where a person that did that shame on you that's a butthead move.
3. over all we dont have the number of player to support any more severs if anything a few should have been shut down already.

If they want this to work after the event on cormyr is over wipe it. give time for everyone to transfer toons off that wish to keep them. than reopen with a merger of two of our current lives ones 1st merger being Ghallanda and orien . and making way to 3x 64 bit ones wit even pop split other 2 new 64 bit being Argo Sarlona and Wayfinder 3rd one being Kyber thelanis and cannith. this split puts all at around 30% to 34 % of the over all population right now
