Also is there any word on the icons on the website?
And any word on the high ping issues for some players on the servers?
I know that the pictures for the shop have all been taken, they just need to be uploaded. The only problem is I do not think Dupre or anyone other than the original devs, i.e. Harald, have access to the website itself, so we would still need original dev assistance to get that done.There is a change implemented that will hopefully help reduce server lag by reducing the strain on the servers. This is unconfirmed of course, as the new patch has yet to be tested with a regular-sized population, but there is reason to believe that it will help things out a bit. At the very least it can't hurt (famous last words, I know). While this should help reduce any random lag spikes that people get regardless of their ping, I do not know if this will fix any high ping issues that some people are experiencing. The goal here is to improve hit detection, warping through people/objects, slight rubber-banding, etc... basically, all the issues that people have complained about since the more recent patches. For what it's worth I played on a test server running the new patch and even with 90 ping it felt far more responsive than usual with my 40-70 ping. That said, this was a separate test server, not the regular servers. Maybe the ones that are hosting crpg are just old, decrepit potatoes, and need to be upgraded. Can't say for sure if it was the new patch or the different server that made the performance that much better, but we can all hope it's the patch!
