Let's Talk About Mireu

Should work if you convert the code from Playstation 2 to Playstation 3 and increase the available bandwith from 56k to ISDN B-Channel bonding.

You think anyone at SE reads anything posted here? You are very foolish.

Pretty sure they barely read their own forums, not sure why they would read these ones.

(Asura) Nothing lags me out worse than Limbus literally any primetime hour of the evening. Takes about 5-6 clicks to fire off my WS. The mob is usually dead for a good five seconds before my model auto targets. It's the biggest fustercluck. O/U is worse, you literally die within seconds because you have no idea where the gyves are and you've takes 800 DMG x6. But it's not so bad when I'm solo or if it's early in the day. Temenos is noticably better than Apollyon, but that could just be less players and less popular/linear zone.

However, absolutely NOTHING is worse than OG Odyssey with that ridiculous 15 second latency where you literally had to run away from bosses at 76% because you have no idea what health they're at and you might trigger Blood Weapon/Noahionto on Gogmagog. So I'll gladly take this current lag over that.

Bring back spike flail, remove the warp effect.

No one liked my solution to this problem.

All I'm sayin' is, corpses don't make particle effects.

This is the sad reality for most companies. SE isn't unique in that.

It's not a bandwidth issue, it's a communication model issue. The server sends one UDP packet for each packet the client sends, and the client won't respond faster than once every 400ms. So, there's a hard limit of ~3.7kbps for the game socket, which controls nearly everything you see ingame. Packetflow increases the limit to as high as ~5.9kbps if your latency is low enough (likely somewhere in between for NA players).

Changing to a model where the server can publish actions continuously and throttling player/mob updates based on time could resolve everything overnight, if the servers could handle it. The bigger issue seems to be that they're CPU bound and their server software is single threaded. Neither of these are simple problems to address.

EQ is even getting a whole *** remake single player version

Probably worth remembering that Daybreak, who manages EQ and EQ2 now, were at one point Sony Online Entertainment. Sony spun off all the MMO projects under their umbrella as a separate company at some point.
