Y’all really did a good job on the Art this time
Just not interested in spending this much for cosmetic stuff and some bank slots

- 20 additional Necromancer Account Bank Storage (30 total Shared Bank + previous 20 Character Bank).
Uh.... 20+20 = 40 or is it 20+30 = 50 or (SSG math says it's) only 30 total Shared Bank, assuming purchase of top-tier coffer?
What is a Necromancer Account? If it's just verbage, what's with the word salad?
*Guess I'll see what the Store says..

It's 20 additional more than the lower tiers. "30 total Shared Bank + previous 20 Character Bank" is the only value that matters, it's 30 shared (accountwide) and 20 character bank (on 1 character).- 20 additional Necromancer Account Bank Storage (30 total Shared Bank + previous 20 Character Bank).

My name is Pardoner and I admit to having bought previous packs. I was severely tempted by this pack, but the sheer cost of it!! There are AAA games that cost less. I am happy to pay my sub, to buy STORAGE on its own , but however well made the cosmetics are, they just take up space. So until there is a wardrobe that we can get , AT A FAIR PRICE, I cant bring myself to pay sooo much more. Guess I am less of a whale and more of a ray.

Has anyone thought that maybe, just maybe all these added, and useless items, that are cosmetics are a suspect in the added lag that seems to not be going away? All the flowing water fountains in public places, the useless background effects that aren't needed, but added for visual affects. They keep adding things that are pretty and shiny, but how do they help gameplay? Or help out in any way other than a visual flair? I get it, we love shinies, but I also get it that these things aren't really needed, and possibly getting rid of them to help performance wouldn't hurt my feelings.
Why would animations use resources? They are extremely likely entirely client-side.
Also, yeah, after being betrayed with the last coffers being "one time only" only to be resold for cheap later, not buying these seems like the wise choice.
And I am the whale they're targeting, who bought everything Ultimate including all coffers.

Your CPU/Graphics Card needs to process those animations too . . .
*multiply that by the total number of players hitting said Server = Client-side.
Huh? Client side animations don't hit the server. That's the entire point of client-side.
Local processing has almost 0 to do with the DDO server lag

The server still has to process it though. You're saying all that animation just bogs our machines down? The server isn't chugging to churn it out at all? Multiplied by users logged in accessing it? I should have..I should go, but I still know that if the Hardware is poo everything that follows is poo too
bet USD100 they're still on Copper Wire.

What? No, the server doesn't need to process the animation. At all. Are you just trolling and I am missing the sarcasm?

No, you're missing that I never claimed to be an expert. Are you? Their server just handles logins?
They just push code to our CPU's? Nothing comes back that they have to process?

Unfortunately I m out of country until November 12. I would like to purchase if possible somehow or is it going to be no way Jose? Or is this only gonna be an endgame purchase?
So you didn't claim to be an expert, just made an entirely baseless claim about the cause of lag?
No, they don't render the animations server side. The maximum thing they'll do (and probably not even that), is to push the text "animation.play". That's the worst way I can think of doing this mind you, most likely they don't do anything and it's entirely client-sided.

@Warned "So you didn't claim to be an expert, just made an entirely baseless claim about the cause of lag?"
No, I didn't. I proposed a wager: "I'll bet they're still running copper."
They're still responsible for the pipelines, up to and including all our animations, feats, inventory, etc. Transmitting/receiving it takes bandwidth. And not just on our end.
If you search my past posts (well, this acct anyway) you'll see I've been wondering about causes of lag for more than a minute.
