Data center travel suspended

[Stormpeaks]

Money that comes out of the Yearly budget to fix a self-fixing issue.

Imagine having to rent a bunch of servers on a short-term lease and only getting two days of use out of them and hiring a bunch of network engineers to install and format them across 3 physical locations for again an issue that will fade in like one or two days. its not chump change

How is it a self fixing issue when they are suspending it until further notice ? They are delaying the "big boom", nothing else.

tbf what could they of done not release it? There is no point in building a system that could handle 15k requests a minute when in normal use it wouldn't see numbers that high. just need to wait for the player base to get the novelty out of their system anything breaks when you push it past its limits.

But what about the people stuck on other DCs?

At the least they should've planned something for that. I imagine they could've made it so that if they had to turn the feature off that they could have also made it so that people stuck on foreign DCs could return to their own still.

That means you can't use it again until things get fixed. Which means no new travel requests, which means less and less server load the more people get through. I hope you can manage to understand the rest.

Why did I know that this was gonna be a shitshow lol

just chill out and have some patience, you not going to starve to death on the other DC.

I imagine there are some technical limitations that stop them from just booting you back to your home DC. I imagine there are checks and balances between the DCs when you are sent back to avoid any weirdness.

Yes, this was predictable.

No, it's not SE's fault. It's players fault for using it at the same time. Why would you use Data Center Travel right after the patch release when you know a lot of other people will be?

It's like logging in when an expansion release and not expecting a queue. Duh. What did you expect?

Yes, lets blame the players for using the only advertised feature of this patch.

You'd expect long queue times, not the entire system shutting down. Imagine players wanting to use a feature of a game they pay for.

We were told it would be unavailable sometimes if it was being used a lot, just like the World Visit System.

It's not like this feature wasn't released in 6.18 specifically so its issues, like these ones, can be sorted out in time for 6.2. It's better to have the system stress tested during content drought than when new major content releases.

This feature was originally intended to launch in the 5.5x patches, exactly so the devteam can iron out the kinks in time for EW launch. That didn't work as planned due to lack of hardware.
