Rubber Banding / Speed Hacking - A Special (Unplanned) DevChat - 10/14/09 2am EST

Yeah I am aware of the staff shortage over the next month a break they well deserve though. I'll just sit in my cave and prey for a server crash haha.

I suppose my main concern is over the past few months the project has gained a great amount of momentum and publicity... I would hate to see a common problem like the rubber band box discourage incoming players.

Heh, yeah.

I wouldn't worry too much about new players, considering that there are so many potentially waiting for news of completion (or close to it). The problem seems to be more with a misconception that the server is a perfectly stable environment right now, than the server's problem's themselves. I'm not trying to blame anyone, but people should probably be warning their friends about what they're going to encounter.

I haven't logged on because of the rubberbanding issue. None the less the devs are doing a great job. I just hoped the next time i login I dont run into the same issue.

Yeah, I noticed cept on sat/sun we're not even reaching login cap... like now, unless the cap really fluxuates... but there hasnt been any "server full" whining for awhile anyway..

I hope they enjoy a little time away... they deserve it..

Yea, this his hit me so hard. Im looking at rubberbanding about 80% of the time I play. If I want to travel some where it takes me about 5 min to crawl from the ticket terminal to the droid.

CORRECTION: 10 min to crawl from terminal to droid.
