Seems like SE may benefit from hiring consultants to address the client/server communication issues that they keep explaining as being "road blocks" to addressing various issues.

I think it has more to do with they want to finish adding content and core gameplay changes and then addressing the server side issues, which I assume they will want to do before they release the PS3 version of the game

This sounds right to me. I really hope they get this figured out!

Well if that is the case, they need to get their priorities straight. These server issues are the bane of the game's existence and are holding back so many improvements it's not even funny anymore.

They DID mention several times they were working on it, but it's been months since last time and honestly I'm really doubting they're going to do anything about it at all at this point.

It's mind boggling how they've let this go on for so long.

It will get fixed...at some point lol. I'm patient, so it doesn't bother me as much as it seems to bother most other people.

btw I love your sig

SE's team have MULTIPLE teams implementing many different aspects of the game. I'm sure there is a server development team that has been working the whole time but may just wait on implementation till PS3. SE is very good at listening to us and are aware of their limitations. But come on, rebuilding a server from scratch cannot be easy.

It bothers me mainly because it's one of those things they mentioned and talked about so much, only to completely disappear and never talk about it again, as if we're going to forget about it.

I like the direction the game is going in and I think 1.19 will be great, but their attitude on some of these issues is ridicolous and I'm really not liking what they're doing about things (or worse, what they're NOT doing).

You can't tease us about stuff like public companies, party crafting and loads of things that only "server fixes" would allow and then never talk about it again.

If I were evil enough I would go as far as to say that "server fixes" are the ultimate scapegoat of either an incompetent dev team or just a lazy staff in general.

In fact I'm going to go ahead and say that's the case.

Thanks for the compliment btw.

Yeah. And the even bigger challenge will be seamlessly transferring the current system over to the new system. Since character wipes have been rules out, everything from the old system has to be preserved, and the switch-over has to be unnoticeable to the players. I am sure it is no easy engineering feat, especially for a team used to making games, not server software.

Unfortunately all we can do is watch and see what happens. I believe everything will come together in the end ^^

Someone start a Server-related thread and hope we can get some feedback from devs.
