Cloud Data Center Stress Test Feedback Thread (November 2023)

[Katish]

East coaster here, the difference is night and day. My skill into another skill does not fall off, which is really nice.

[Will add more when I have played more]
Added stuff:
- Blunderville feels fair now, I can dodge without being miles away and still getting hit.
- Skills feel like they are synced correctly on cooldowns (Not sure if this is a feeling thing but it definitely felt like this.)
- Loading zones is much much faster
- Text and cutscenes load in quicker
- Can actually dodge mechanics without being snapshot even though I was out of it


The game is actually playable at 18-20 ms vs what I typically get despite being in North America (80-100ms) [sometimes over if bad connection or routing]

I must echo the praises from the other Brazilians. Please make all data centers cloud based as standard.

If it makes a difference I'm all for it though I can't tell the difference between the two

Got to love waiting through over 3k in the queue, to finally make it in and click on the first book only to be logged out without warning and thrown back into the queue of over 3k.

The warning was in the item's description that you didn't read.

I've twice now experienced a lockout on finishing gathering, where the quick gather/gather window just doesn't close despite finishing. I can talk, I can't use any actions, there doesn't seem to be any lag issues whatsoever. I've experienced this once before over 3 years of playtime (and I do gather a lot) so it seems like something that might have been exacerbated by the cloud service somehow.





As far as I know, the only solution is to force-close the game

I have been getting error 2002s while in queue, not sure if it's releated to the server or to the long queues like on expansion release.

I haven't been playing with players yet. Did duty support, that was very smooth as well as the entire login and setup process for me. I am sitting in europe so east coast is a fair bit away but i dont see an issue at all with ping so far.

If you had already made a character on Cloudtest02 and you're trying to log back in, the world is experiencing congestion so that may be why you're getting the 2002. My 02 character is still stuck on 01, unable to travel back (I check every 20-30 minutes).

So, while the test is just seeing how many ppl it can handle. there was a missed opportunity with how the skips work. Instead of having them as they are now, could have made it so they were useable from character select screen so you dont get logged out everytime you use one and have to wait to login.

The counter to this is having people pop in and out of the game and hit the queue more often literally stresses that system to test it.

As far as the actual experience in game for me goes, I'm on the East Coast and this morning the game is very laggy on the Cloud servers. Every 3-4 seconds I get a hiccup/momentary freeze. I assumed this was just part of the experience testing this but I don't see anyone else with that problem?

I popped back into the regular servers on my origin of Crystal and did not experience the same issue, so this is isolated to the Cloud servers for me.


EDIT: Steam was downloading, actually. Connection upon later attempt is actually quite nice, with no lag issues.

popping in and out really only test the login. thats not what this about. we get queues on the regular servers. this about testing in game and this slows down said test as ppl gotta bounce in and out to apply these. again, a missed opportunity to change how they work.
