Petition for more frequent resets of the NA1 Official Server
« on: November 25, 2013, 11:44:16 pm »
As of late, many of us frequent visitors of NA1 have been "enjoying" a laggy server, full of rubber banding, inconsistent melee and higher than average pings, even at times when the server has barely anyone playing, and when the server has a decent amount of players on, melee becomes merely a game of luck, hoping that your stab actually registers and you aren't going to rubber band into the ass end of an enemy line with bayonets ready, when previously you were duelling just one guy. When you are playing on other servers with frequent restarts and extra care taken to provide an entertaining experience, and of course similar pings and server settings, you will find that combat is much more fluid and consistent, and rubber banding is non existent, even on large linebattle servers that get filled to the brim. This problem has been presented many times to administration, but it never seems to be consistent with the resets and is often left unremedied until the conditions are barely playable.

If you have been experiencing similar issues such as I and the people I have spoken to about the issue, reply to the thread and voice your opinion. Hopefully if the administration of the NA side sees that this is a problem that is troubling a fair amount in the community, they will put extra care in maintaining optimal server status and more frequent resets. If this for whatever reason, cannot be done on a frequent basis, might I suggest having one of the head EU admins having the ability to reset the server.

I'm not sure, but I am pretty sure that 7na Groupfighting is reset about once a week and it is fine, so it must not be very frequently.

Perhaps a different host could make it so there would be no resetting needed...

I don't think that is the problem, unless the official servers have different hosts. I actually experience better performance in EU1 than in NA1, despite my ping being triple.

Yeah it does lag and rubberband a lot when there's only 100 people on. (which is half the server capability)

I reset the server at least once a day after I get home. I live on the west coast and work until 6 pm Monday Wednesday and Friday.  Have 8 hour shifts on the weekend and go to class for 11 hours on my days off. The warband engine is simply not optimized for the amount of players the server sees on a daily basis when I am unable to be online for the most part.

However I will speak to Vince no about allowing William the same access I have to the server files. Not that I don't trust our EU brethren but I would feel much more comfortable with my own my Co head admin instead. That way we can get the reset two or three times a day like we need.

If thats the case, you may want to talk to him about a new server box as well.

Preaching to the choir. NA1 is stuck with the servers it has. All of the other servers have been switched to EU or for BCOF testing. This conversation has already been had and shot down.

So basically, fuck the NA community, they get a shitty server, and EU get special treatment?

Well, about the boxes themselves, they are provided by different hosts, so the specs will be different. The EU box is hosted with Hetzner (unless it's changed) which is a German company, and doesn't host in the States (which is how I know it's a different box).
EU1 is reset once a day, just like NA1, and although we don't get anywhere near the players that NA1 gets anymore, it was fine with well over 100 players with no rubber banding. This is just speculation, but I would assume there is some difference in specs between the boxes, or possibly the connection that each box has (100mbit vs 1gigabit maybe?)
