3 raids in 1 zone

I know there are claim rules but as it stands now by the rules there can be 5 guilds in Thaz at one time raiding while the server really cant handle more then 2 raids in one zone at the moment. Or well at least Thaz cant. Yesterday PR was in LT and Exodus in UT and steel was at Thaz himself (dont know if thats still UT).
With 2 guilds in Thaz the lag is real bad but doable with 3 its just insane. Maybe its just thaz but i think a max of 2 raids in 1 zone would be a good addition to the claim rule. Prison also comes to mind with OP IP IS.
 
I cant really say i noticed the lag increase much as Steel entered. Lag was at its worst imho when both Exo & PR were active in LT, then it got a little bit better as we moved to UT.
 
Well I think the main problem with lag was when 1 of the 3 guilds started a scripted named/event in combination with 50+ people in the zone

I don't know. I think the server was doing pretty well. Seeing as we downed two encounters with that many people in zone. Just my 2 cp
 
I definitely noticed a distinct increase in lag, but it was more or less managable. The problem I have is with the zonewide emotes. I know that there isn't a lot that can be done with them, but Thazeran's emotes are zonewide, and most of them provide either Strat Leaks or Lore Leaks, both of which I know the developers don't want to happen.

Yeah... currently theres not really a way around that withtou forbidding more than one raid a zone :/

The only thing that I could suggest is that the devs try and remedy the situation by not putting strat-related emotes into their scripts.
 
Yea, I remember doing Thaz with Forsaken, Ruin, Steel/Fusion (rarely) in the zone and it would get pretty laggy, but as Draxx said, still managable. I wonder if the recent latency issues might be playing a role more so than 3 guilds being in one zone. I know Rev has had a lot of lag issues lately, when raiding alone in a zone like CoD.
 
Due to a really crappy network I am usually the first to notice lag and well - it was insane with PR and Exo in LT, got better when we went to UT and didn't get worse when Steel entered. Zones like Thaz, Rust and others with lots of scripts are usually laghell for me - 50+ people didn't make it that much worse.

Fusion has been having these same issues of lag; its manageable but pretty annoying as well.

This isn't really viable for some encounters simply because the emotes are there to clue you in on when to react. I would rather decrease the range, or add in a special emote that has a limited range, rather than not put in strat-related emotes at all.

The lore stuff on the other hand is something that we need to fix somehow, as I wanted the lore surrounding Thazeran to be part of the reward for beating the zone. Obviously once someone has seen it, they can tell other people, but it really is integral lore to the entire world of Dalaya, so it's better left unspoiled, in my opinion.
 
Solution? EVACUATE THE ZONE TO MAKE WAY FOR THE STEEL WAR MACHINE!

But seriously, it really only seems to get really laggy when there is a script running... even then most of the time it's bearable. The only problem I had with the other days raids was that Thaz is directly above lower fire boss and we kept getting your AOE :mad:

Yeah, usually I don't get excited for lore, but Thaz lore was awesome!
 
Manageable? I guess that depends on how u define that :toot:

the zone was spiking like crazy, which forced us to overheal all the time, it seriously slows you down if you do it for 5 hours in a row. Random Insta LDs and PL bugs left and right (sometimes after less than 25 minutes in the zone) additionally made it near impossible to keep a steady pace on clearing, we constantly had to wait for people to get back from PL. That was before and after Exodus had moved to UT. Maybe it affect the people in LT more than it does affect the people in UT, because you all didnt seem to have a big problem with it.

Even when all of you were in UT, it was a constant slideshow, especially when we were engaging nameds, there was spikes like every 10 seconds, for up to 10 seconds.

PS: If it comforts u, due to the increased difficulty we had facing the nameds as opposed to having the zone to ourself, i for my part didnt even have the time (nor the nerves) to read thru any UT or Thazeran specific emotes, hehe
 
Iirc Wooma was the first to PL and among the last of our crew to get in the zone, and stayed like 30 mn or something o_O
