Title: Need a vacation :\
Post by: Earowo on April 22, 2010, 06:08:30 am
im giving up...
ever since 5.0 came out, things have been getting worse and worse, with every update somthing i dont even notice gets added, but lag gets worse, with every update crashing is getting increased, with every update i freaze more and more. im just done
becuase on top of all of this, the people who are SUPPOSED to fix things like this, have been making updates for diffrent art files..
seriously WTF
and even worse, from some event i dont really know what happened, i heard somthing happened between talad and xillix, some devs quit, which is not going to help the problems...
im taking a break from this game, i tried to put up with it getting worse and worse, hoping for the best, but nothing is happening, im taking a month off...
so long people, i'll see you whenever......
i'll check forum,, but you wont see me in-game anytime soon...

Ta-ta for now my funny friend, and I sympathize with your exasperations.

5.0 came out? ... We are not even at 0.6 yet... ;)

We will keep working on updates (although we are bound to the development done by the CrystalSpace team as well).

You don't forget to try to delete the "shadercache" when crashes get too frequent after art updates (but at most once a month).

One thing I am afraid of: When you are less in game - are you then even more in the forum? ;) ;)

I heard that your computer is too old maybe you should consider upgrading your hardwares
my old computer come from 1999   :-[
and the game runs worse than my new computer

with every update somthing i dont even notice gets added

a complete rework of the quest system, all monsters being refactored, moved or replaced by new ones, mounts everywhere, ... - nothing of that is noticable for you? sorry... but what are you doing ingame? logging in at the waterwheel, looking around and saying "boring, nothing changed" to yourself?

lag gets worse, with every update crashing is getting increased, with every update i freeze more and more. im just done
becuase on top of all of this, the people who are SUPPOSED to fix things like this, have been making updates for diffrent art files..

how is art related to engine crashes? I just don't see the connection...
many issues are highly hardware dependent and are hard to or not at all recognizable by testers.
the open testing period got approximately NO feedback at all (there were about 5 participants I recall)... issues are fixed as fast as possible, however they have to be properly reported, first.


anyway, if you're that frustrated right now, taking a break for a month or two might be a good idea. calming down a bit about current issues and cheering up in case of updates which fix those might help you to enjoy the game, again ;)

Look if the lag bothers you, I have a few suggestions. Donate 1 Million dollars to the PS team and get a high end computer.

Naah! If you want extra speed you should donate that to the CS project instead! Or more in particular: to me!!! :-)

Really?  The lag pretty much everyone I talk to is experiencing hasn't been reported?   ???
And the lag I'm experiencing now wasn't present during the ezpc testing period.  And I just got a high(ish) end vid card last year.

Of course I know the devs are doing all they can but I can understand where Earowo is coming from.

I appreciate your frustrations Earowo... despite the 'helpful' suggestions offered above. :whistling:

When I was in lagland last summer (before I broke down, got a new laptop and went broke for a few months) I would just park myself in Kada El's or at the table at Harns or at the Stonehead, and just talk to people as they walked by, rping that Roled was 'writing in his journal'. If you're a hunter and dueler that probably won't be satisfying but it's an idea...

And the forum frustration I share too. We talk about it all the time here, the kind of cynical negativity, flame wars, put downs, etc. I sometimes feel like I'm a one man 'happy' show, but that's how I try anyway to balance the negative crap. Xiosia's into balance you know, and RR is into Xiosia!

Fare ye well~
May the harmony of nature surround ye! :flowers:

Lol guess that's what I'm on right now. A vacation.

It's not that I hate the game or anything. All the bugs prevent a lot of my friends from coming on, and I haven't played for so long, heh, roleplaying is starting to not interest me anymore.

I'm trying to get back into the swing of it, but I think I need a new character now that Tin's sorta stuck in the DR XD

And I don't mean Suati, I lover her and all, but I need to start from scratch to find my roleplaying roots :) stay tuned for a new char!

@Earowo, hope you have a nice break ^_^ try to keep your skills up to date!

but other than that bye Earowo.
its is true, about .5.1.1 it WAS perfect, no lag in hydlaa, none in oja, none in gug, not even any in DR, i had no crashing , loading screens went great, but somthing they did with the next update, just kind of screwd things up, DR and hydlaa are unbearable lag now, its really hard to get out of DR, so i havnt been able to fight like i used to since i want to avvoid DR, and i try to avvoid hydlaa, aside from that even OJA is starting to get laggy for me, gug is kinda medium, and BD it depends on the spot...
but whatever happened during the update after .5.1.1 it screwd somthing up, and i think thats the main problem here
and like i said i'll still be on forum :D

it doesnt matter, the only reason i updated at all, was becuase 5.1.1 wont log onto the server anymore, it says you dont have the right version, if it didnt do that, id still be happy and playing right now
and no i dont have the setup file..

I need an old person to drink hard liquor with. Thats just how old people do things. Either that or they end up on Disney, as seen here:

Soo... cant the devs move PS back to 0.5.1.1 ?? It is for sure way better than 0.5.3 not just for Earowo's sake but for the whole world of MMORPGers, I have someone in my guild and he is having problems but he was not here for 0.5.1.1
Title: Re: Need a vacation :\
Post by: Earowo on April 26, 2010, 08:44:47 am
imho i doubt they would turn back the progresion to 5.1.1, im sure they want to continue whatever the hell it is they are trying to do

What does "to dog" mean as verb?
Title: Re: Need a vacation :\
Post by: Rigwyn on April 26, 2010, 03:06:23 pm
Meant to type in "sprayed".
Not sure how I typed in "dog" ? thats really odd.
Corrected now, thanks :)

I bet your keyboard is all sticky now Rigwyn.

@Earowo: I think they implemented the new monsters during 0.5.3, and I really enjoy seeing the new variety. 
Title: Re: Need a vacation :\
Post by: Earowo on April 27, 2010, 04:20:25 am
if they put em in during .5.3 then they should be the problem, since everythings been getting worse since 5.1.1
