Server issues – Can we have an update?

[Chinook]

Ever since the new dev team got in charge of the game, you did a really good job on resolving a lot of issues, adding content and making this game appealing to a wider range of players.


However, ever since these forums went live, “problems with the way the servers work” has been a popular excuse to many critical issues and popular valid requests.


Examples of these issues linked to server problems (feel free to correct me or add some to the list):

-Linkshell management
-UI lag
-“/sea all” type commands
-LFG flags
-Market Wards (full wards, functionality)
-Mail/Delivery system
-Macros lag, overwrite and functionality
-Enemy interaction lag (visual signs of enemies starting skills and their position while moving are always few seconds behind their real progress). Same could be said for our own lag, hurting overall fluidity and response in battles. It can’t be instant, but I don’t believe it can’t be improved.
-Oddities like repairs taking 2 bazaar spots since item and reward transactions can’t be processed at same time

As far as I know, we never had any update on resolving these infamous server issues. We only know that you’ve been “looking into it” for months.


Can we have some information, details, progress, timeline, anything? Do you have people actively working on that? Do you have solutions to these issues, even if they require months? Is it unsolvable? Did you drop the ball because it would require too much manpower to change the game foundation?


This game has some nice features and keeps improving every patch. The other incoming changes and updates are also promising, but as long as these server issues plague it, its potential to become a healthy long living MMORPG once it stops being free to play might be greatly reduced.

Some news about it, would be much appreciated indeed.

Most, if not all of these have been addressed. I don't have time to look them all up for you.

The long and short of it is, they are going to work on them, but not until after 1.20.

I remember the last thread that was made about this asking for something from the dev. team/Yoshida, might not have been ignored, but we definitely didn't receive a response on it Probably cause it was directly or indirectly touched on a year ago.

Let's talk about SQ-EX, baby.
Let's talk about you and me.
Let's talk about all the servers, and the netcode that may be.

Anything, any piece of info other than a generic "yeah we'll do it eventually"... PLEASE!

Let us know this is a PRIORITY... This is IMPORTANT!

[Fear]

Some more infomation would be nice would make the game more enjoyable being able to use basic features

Most, if not all of these have been addressed. I don't have time to look them all up for you.

That's the point. Most of these issues have been answered by: "We can't do it because of server issues".

That's why we'd like to have an update precisely on the servers fixes, since so many issues are linked to them.

The long and short of it is, they are going to work on them, but not until after 1.20.

How do you know ?
