Title: Poll: EU-2 back to 80 Slots
Post by: Camaris on October 05, 2011, 11:55:25 am
Nobody of the admins/devs/serverchiefs was responding so far to comments made about EU-2 and the daily 120 players lagfest.
So i decided to make a poll to see how the players think about it and perhaps get some reaction from our lovely devs/admins.

Reasons to reduce to 80 slots are:
- LAG. Whatever it is if the server is near to full the game is more luck then skill. Its a lot less fun having to wait for every swing etc.
Server behaves good until 80-100 players and then its starting to lag and not only a bit. Its killing all the fun for me.
- EU5 would be used more again like it was back in the days when both servers were 80 Slots. You could discuss if both servers
should be with BB on but that would have to be made in another thread.
In my opinion everything is better then having a 120 Slot siege server which is always full and another 80 slot server which is only
empty. Why not make both the same and both 80 slots so both will be used.

eu5 might get more players which is a bonus

i personally dont get any lag on near-max pop eu2 though and the people i play with havent mentioned anything about it either

are you sure its the server and not your computer?

is an issue to all who don't have a fibercable network connection. those (including me) with substandard dsl, (italy, france, spain, etc.) really have issues.

and anyway when the server can't keep up with that lot of players, start slowing the game speed to avoid spikes. at least is what i suppose because the more it fills, the slower is the fighting.

Im quite sure its not the computer i dont have any problems with 120 player battles etc. and its not a problem with my FPS.
FPS stays high all the time. Corrado described very well what is happening with EU-2 if it gets full. The game speed is decreasing,
you have to wait for your swings, sometimes i can do hits without doing animations because of lags. Those never get blocked so
i guess my enemies cant see them too.  All this is happening if the server gets near 120 player. I hate if duels are decided by luck
and no more by skill at this moment. Sure good players are doing still more kills but the fight doesnt feel right anymore.

Some maps are truly overcrowded which is really uncool with the new earlier active attacks.

EU2 is back to 80 slots. Activated banner balance on EU5 so the servers are basically running the same config.

Hopefully we will have 2 populated servers rather then one full and the other almost empty all the time.

Oh what the fuck
There is no lag whatsoever on EU2, and playing on a lowpop server is really boring.
Why change sometthing that isnt broken?
I really loved that EU2 was 120players, 

Now its been filled up every damn night, and my only alternative is eu5 which is empty, or nearly so,   FUN? i think not.

Its going back to the shit we had before, that one server fills up, and the rest play battle or like me,    dont play at all


If you want to play on a 80player server, why not use EU5?  Its there, its been there for months.

Let those of us who enjoy 120player seige enjoy it,


What is wrong with having one 80player and one 120 player?
Let the people with shit computer/connection play on EU5,  its been there for months hello?  Use it?

Due to the password crap a 80player server will have around 60players on average,  thats just 30ppl in each team, not near enough for a good battle.
The 120player server used to have 40-50 players in each team, and it was perfect for most maps.


Im just raging now,  this shit makes me so fucking dissapointed and sad


STOP RUINING SHIT THAT WORKS FINE

I have to agree with you, Tindel.

I saw a full eu2 server, and just 20 players on eu5 today. Then, at the evening, did it change to around only 40 players, and probably around the same amount on 5 (not sure though).

I want the 120 slot siege back.

Before - all players go to EU2 and EU5 was all time empty. Now - with 80 players limit we have both servers full. So 80 slots at EU2 and EU5 - YES!

Primetime evenings,  EU2 had around 100-120 players depending on when it was passworded latest,  and EU5 had around 20-30 people, depending on when EU2 was passworded etc

Now its EU2 60-80 depending on when it was passworded, and EU5 is at 20-30 people,  depending on when EU2 was passworded etc


Thats a pretty fucking huge decrease in players

Compromise: 1 Server with 100 players, see how it's lagging when it's full.
If EU2 can't handle 100 players, try it on EU5. If both can't handle 100 players, switch both back to 80 slots.

What is this lag you talk about?
Some maps are a bit buggy and give me some fps lag.

But the ping is fine 30-40

I don't know what are you talking about. Before EU2 was all time full with 120 players and EU5 was empty non stop. Now at evening both servers are full 80+80=160 - that is increase of siege population. Last night both servers was full - EU2 with 80 players and passworded and EU5 about 65 - 70 players.

Now is 15:50 afternoon and this is a screenshot of servers. Note - some players are playing "new" sronghold right now.

Both servers are not full, they never fill up.

One of them fills, the other is around 20-30pop


Thus a lower pop overall,

it's really better now. and some maps can't really be played 60vs60. now the game is better balanced, ping rise is barely noticeable. never had fps issues tho... but there is a mapper that managed to drop fps to 90 on my 6970+i7 [email protected]. that mapper should really do something else  :?
