Link to previous thread made in July :
The State of Asylum V 2.0 : Client Not Responding
A Quick Introduction
This thread is going to follow in the format of the first one that I posted in July. Some of the ideas in the thread previous will end up being brought back to attention here because they still pose an issue. It is very evident that these servers and community need change if we are going to progress into the future. As stated in the previous thread ; history continues to repeat itself and that repetition is not always positive.
What's Wrong?
A lot of things are wrong, one big issue notably being BattlEye kicks and incessant lag spikes. While this thread is going to be centered more towards the resolution of these kicks and lag spikes, other issues such as community interaction with developers will be brought up once again. Issues will be organized in the bullet points below.
• BattlEye Kicks and Lag Spikes
For the past seven to eight months has the community been plagued with lag and kicks that seem to never end. In these seven to eight months, the lag // kicks have proven to be very demoralizing to a majority of the community, making some members quit. A plethora of people have lost a lot of stuff due to the kicks and lag and there seems to be no solution in sight. The developers and admins initially thought the problems were due to DDOS attacks on the servers but were later proven to be wrong. This lead to a few members of the community - in my opinion - being banned for things that they might not have done. As of recent, it has come to my attention that there really is not any foreseeable resolution of these kicks and lag spikes because the developers often talk none of it. People like myself bring this issue up all the time on the forums to see nothing being said about it by the developers. It is a real kick in the ass - some community members such as myself are left wondering when and if the issues will be addressed.
• The Community and Development Team
As stated in the previous thread and in the bullet point above, community interaction with the development team is really lacking and has been for quite some time. I can not deny the fact that is has certainly improved within the five months between writing both of these threads, but it obviously still has some flaws. As stated above, "some community members such as myself are left wondering when and if the issues [BattlEye kicks, lag spikes] will be addressed." We, being the community, should not be left to wonder if issues this problematic and detrimental to the servers are being worked on. The developers should make more of an effort to connect with the community to discuss these issues. Whether it be a thread dedicated to the purpose of that or an extra little paragraph in the patch notes, it would undoubtedly prove to be very useful in the long run. A strong community is one that is able to effectively communicate with their leaders.
Conclusion
A shorter thread this time, but I thought these issues needed to be addressed. Please remember to keep the discussion civil and to not flame ; don't get this shit locked. I spent some time writing it. also the font looks like shit because this was copied and pasted from pastebin because modqueue is a bitch
tfw u finally leave rebel after 30 mins of people crashing/getting mem leaks and then your Ifrit driver gets a fucking mem leak driving away, so your Ifrit freezes in place, and gets vested.
TL;DR Asylum is fucking garbage.
Not to mention, Void got wiped in 2 secs pushing, unlucky for Elysium I guess.
