Fall Guys event is held back by long queues and the low server tick rate

[Reap00]

As the title says, the servers are holding back a crossover that is surprisingly well executed. Making the stupid bean game fit into the XIV universe has been executed very well but the gameplay is ass. Not only does it take 5 minutes to get into games right now, which is awful given you're only guaranteed a minimum of 50 currency, but the actual gameplay is suffers due to the tick rate.

Had a game earlier where I got to the crown first on my screen but I'm running into an invisible wall before the game catches up with the client catches up and has someone else fly into the crown and win. That's not so bad because you at least get 300 points or whatever for making it that far. However, the next game has me die first round because of the swinging balls and it's honestly a 50-50 if you'll get knocked off when you're past them or not.

Again, the core concept is well executed but it just feels really bad to play because of XIV's quite substandard servers for a large and modern MMO in 2023. You're years behind the mark and if this upcoming cloud server test isn't successful... just keep buying more servers I guess?

Don't play it. It isn't hard. XIV has been around for 10 years and has been thriving throughout those 10 years with the current setup. If you think a company will drastically change their infrastructure while they are continuing to make bank I am sure I can find something to sell you.

"You pay monthly to play a video game and you are criticising bad decisions and systems of the game YOU PAID FOR? Madness! stop trying to improve on the health of this video game!" in a nutshell kind of comment.
I'm glad people with your sort of mentality have their opinions dismissed as a joke by everyone with a modicum amount of good sense.

Clearly we just need to play other games, that's what Yoshi-P wants after all.
