  • (Quote) FWIW, it is how it works and the ping plots that people are posting (including in the other related thread) prove it. But just turning off Zayo and switching to Savvis isn't a magic fix either -- it'll make things better for some and worse…
  • (Quote) They do actually -- just they only work while wearing a 2013/2014 swimsuit. But the customization is preserved until you change races or do a reset in the character creator.
  • (Quote) You don't need crazy theories: it's because it's primetime data consumption time in the U.S. Everyone gets home from work and starts streaming, torrenting, or whatever else they do on their Internet, and routing companies are not willing t…
  • I updated the copies I had uploaded here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/jpats68zw4cvdgl/AADMT3mIYVmqCjqRF-oaxfqpa?dl=0 Once you copy them over, be sure to run a repair from the Tools section, and you may still require at least 35 GB of free space to p…
  • (Quote) I think you're actually right, but there's a deeper motivation to it. I think history proves that rewards are what drives TERA battleground popularity. For example, back when the old-days Kuma's was the most rewarding, everyone queued for …
  • (Quote) Yeah, my interpretation of the data here and in other MMOs expressing similar problems over the last few weeks is that there are a number of different routing problems happening at the same time, which is what makes it particularly hard. Y…
  • Yeah, this specific part is not going to be a continual on-all-weekend event like the various things last weekend. It'll have more narrow scheduled occurrences.
  • (Quote) For the most part, it's based on your ISP and area. So yeah, even people in the same province/state could see different behaviour if they're using a different ISP or are maybe even in a different part of town in some cases.
  • (Quote) It's not about the old files existing, it's about the integrations between the interconnected pieces. For example, the way the cash shop integrates into the game now is different than it used to be a few years ago, and reflects changes to E…
  • (Quote) Because of the way the pieces interact. You'd need to have separate client, server, launcher, account server, instance servers, store server, and keep everything in sync with the old builds in sequence (including the backend integration ch…
  • (Quote) I suspect that'd be basically impossible for BHS to pull off with the way they made this game.
  • (Quote) There are only so many routing providers that go into Chicago. Savvis was better for some and worse for others. Zayo is better for some and worse for others. Still others are routed via Level3, and they'll have different pluses and minuse…
  • (Quote) I honestly don't believe this is the case because there are plenty of cases of brand-new purchasers who complain on the forums after opening tons of lootboxes and getting no rare (which completely turns them off from buying anything again). …
  • People are wont to choose the one battleground that is most rewarding at the expense of the others (which gets more people queuing for it, which reduces queue times, in a loop), and it's been this way for a long time (and actually, is the same in ot…
  • The original Island of Dawn was good and the look was nice. Paired with the original prologue, it was a nice fit. But the way they streamlined the questing on Island of Dawn over the years really wasn't very good, and Stepstone is better from that…
