Can these be modified? If so, please can the frequency be lessened significantly? The current rate of world saves + the world freeze bug combination is taking away from the experience. I'd like to see some dialogue on this topic and get a better understanding of how other player's and administrators feel about this.
World freeze bug? first I've heard of this. is there a thread already started with information on it?
Pauses are twice as long as they used to be when first noticed. Frequency of the pauses has also increased. Very noticeable when pvp'in. World saves I can understand but I wish they were a bit farther apart. Save time has doubled but that's most likely due to world item count having tripled since I've started here (when I started we had a 3 second world save). Yes there's another thread going on this. Maybe the aim of the post was to alleviate some of it by reducing the frequency of world saves.
I would advocate for CUB (less items = shorter saves) + a longer period between saves (maybe 45 minutes?). I think in another shard there was a suggestion of "sepparating items" as in: - Houses that have not been accessed since last save are not saved (thus reducing the number of items saved, as it is redundant from last save) - Dungeons/instances not being used are not saved Now, I have no clue if that is technically possible or feasable, it just sounded interesting when I heard it. I don't think there's much to be done about the freeze issue as it seems to be host related, so unless Telamon decides to switch hosts, it looks like we'll have to adapt.
and here i thought the freezing issue was just my computer. it randomly freezes one client while my other client is fine. is that the same bug, or do I have my own unique case of mites?
I haven't been timing the saves, but they definitely seem too frequent. Used to be thrice an hour, and then dropped to twice. Now it seems like we're back where we started. If the server were unstable, I'd get saving more often, but that doesn't seem to be a problem here. I certainly wouldn't cry over an extra 10 minutes of lost play if it came to it.
When Razor is loading look at the bottom of it and it'll give you an idea of what it's getting stuck on. If it says checking for updates and gets stuck there (like it did for mine after I reinstalled it a while back) then that's likely the issue. To stop Razor from checking for updates you can make a small registry change. Here is a thread about that issue and how to fix it if the check for updates is causing the problem. http://uorforum.com/threads/how-to-bypass-razor-updates.2654/ Hope that fixes it for ya!
Too many geedy ass vets stock piling items for Clean Up Britania. The more random useless shit they save for NO FUCKIN REASON other than being #1 when that shit hits and getting the most out of it. That and there are a lot more houses to save on the map as opposed to a year or two ago. Those plat train and IDOC fucks needs to go. But i can assure you that will NEVER happen. Dont get me wrong I like shinies and pixels too, but dear god man, when will you ever have enough? Ive received text messages from players about manipulating the trade market. Are you fucking kidding me? When will you have enough shit, when? When is enough, enough? Greedy ass people man..
I sometimes wonder if the reason CuB isn't here yet is because of the addition of leaderboards for it, which is probably more coding work involved in putting it in the patch and getting it finished. My opinion is, who the crap cares about how many barrel staves or broadswords of ruin you turn in? Most of just want cub to happen, and don't care about some stupid bragging rights or being number one on a leaderboard. We just want to get this shit turned in for goodies.
You are part of the problem if you are saving all that shit. There are a lot of you out there. I would name some names, but I owe some of those people more respect than that, so I dont.
Actually i've trash barrelled / sold my last stash of cub shit when it didn't come out a few months ago as planned. I started to save it again when cub was supposed to happen in the last patch, then when that didn't happen I'm pretty much given up on it happening anytime this year since the holiday stuff will take priority. Wanna buy my bags o' cub shit I have left? You could get on that leaderboard!!!
I've actually coined the term "Rage-barrelling" - trashing cub shit in frustration instead of waiting an indefinite amount of time for cub to come out.
