Warfields crash and possible solutions

skylancer · 06-01-2010, 06:29 PM

Since I'm not a dev. or a coder, and since with my uncanny prescience (sp), I, myself, predicted that WF's would be beyond slideshow/button/render lagfromhell!

OMG!!! how did i predict this you ask? Was anyone from SOE in KP during the zergfest, ever?

I must admit i didnt predict the severity of the lag, crashes, bugs, tokens not, totally worthless non-zergfest, skilless, wander around for 10 minutes waiting for stuff to render, push a button and wait 10 seconds for it to maybe go off absolutely predictable by SOE failure WF's have been.

For the love o pete, SOE KNEW it would be like this, ONLY fix is instance by tier automatically like all the [Removed for Content] TSO's etc. code is in, just implement it for WF's, and make ant/cl WF's seperate instances without NPC'S or zones or mobs. just use the map.

Or btr yet , just make it T9 instances, unlimited lvl range pvp get the noobs out. Make all the new naggy peeps lvl for real gear like we all did.

You got the spelling right AS WELL AS the prediction. WTG.

I don't think that's the ONLY fix. Instancing it brings with it it's own inherent issues; all the Freeps go to one, all the Qs go to the other. Spies keep both sides informed of the population. It's just bad all around.

If it does get instanced, neither side should get credit unless there is a minimum average population of BOTH sides in said instance, or a ratio of the two sides. Either one seems to be a PITA to track. If anything IMO it should be kept to one instance, but the population should be capped.

As Nurse Diesel so eloquently put it, "Those who are tardy do not get fruit cup."

All WF is, is a BG on the pvp server. Make it its own BG for PVP servers only. Use the AT/CL maps, keep faction to there own team. Atlest this way you can limit the size to 24 per team and have new BG open up when there are more people.

Then just have it give pvp token insted of BG tokens and upadate writs.

Shouldnt be that hard

not a bad idea at all. get rid of the grey leechers and lag, and WF will maybe finally be about tactics instead of numbers.
