Cloud Data Center Stress Test Feedback Thread (November 2023)

[mallleable]

I didn't play on the test servers as much as I would have liked to, but I do want to make a note of the social aspect, and say cross region travel absolutely has potential.

For me, the technical performance was roughly the same as on the live servers. The difference was mainly noticeable when quick response was needed (switching interrupt use to the beginning of the cast bar instead of closer to the end like I normally do on the live servers and similar). I can only think of one occasion when I got hit by a mechanic that I appeared to be out of on my client but that occasionally happens on the live servers as well.

I spent a considerable amount of time the final two days helping other players complete The Dark Inside for MSQ. In about one third of those clears, there would be a player stating they were having sudden lag issues and a couple of those were clearly obvious to me even with all the spell effects going off (you could see a stutter in their movement). I have no information about how those occasions compared to the player's normal experiences or where those players were located geographically, though.

On a different note, it was great opportunity to become more familiar with the auto-translate dictionary and also highlighted a few areas where it is weak. It is missing a lot of common terms used by the hunt community to communicate what activity is happening. It also seems to have a lot of terms to ask for assistance and information but nothing to offer or confirm assistance and information.
