I think the problem was that everyone was in the same area. The server populations were maxed and they were all new so they were in the newbie areas (mostly).<BR/><BR/>The battleground instance played well enough both times I played it. I think that had about 16 players per side (and could go up to 32 per side). <BR/><BR/>I spanked Order again. Coming in with 28 kills and only 2 deaths (I had to AFK for awhile since one of the boys was into something they shouldn't have been).<BR/><BR/>It's a fun game, but it really does need some work, especially performance-wise. Open Beta will be pretty telling as to how quickly they can turn things around.<BR/><BR/>I had my second crash and some pretty hefty framerate issues a little further in as a Black Ork (Smaken). Again, I think there is a leak because it plays smoothly up until a certain point. They might have to be more aggressive about dumping resources.<BR/><BR/>I did note that my video card (HD3879) apparently has some texture issues where the detail range appears to be pulled in, even on the highest quality setting.<BR/><BR/>It's going to be a lot of fun, but it's also going to be hectic and painful if you get locked out of your server. The last cap I saw was 2100 which is decent, but again, sucky if you have to queue up (which I think they are adding if I read something right - right now you just keep pushing the button and hope you get on the server).<BR/><BR/>Sorry if I seem a little scatterbrained, I'm yapping with two different people and typing this and I've yet to have a coffee (so much for that personal rule of "no replying before morning coffee").SmakenDahedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17521372432936090160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36604256.post-8934848696275047192008-08-24T16:07:00.000-04:002008-08-24T16:07:00.000-04:00So yet again we have a game proving we're just not to a point where we can actually have "massive PvP" (RvR, wtf-ever) that's acceptably playable?<BR/><BR/>/sigh<BR/><BR/>Not that I was expecting it, but I secretly had my fingers crossed.Scotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17848472705380445923noreply@blogger.com
