250 albs at Collory = Zonecrash

[-Dreama-]

A ranger at your outpost (scath) was killed with 237 enemies in the area.

That was the msg I got in guild chat, or something to that effect.
:bore: :doh:

lol wildfire, that pic looks like "dobby" from Harry Potter II

The point is the server crashed again with 200+ in one zone, which just simply shows there has not been done anything to how it can be solved...

I wonder did the people who are supposed to investigate this ever got further then:

Event: Zone Crash
Cause: 250+ in one single zone
Solution: Don't bring 250+ in one zone?

If this is the way they maybe solve problems then I wonder why we have people who are paid to do server maintenance? We might as well find a tool which pushed the reset button once in a while through an internet connection and restart programs/servers automatically after reboot...

I think people who play the game are allowed to have an explanation. Same goes for people who run a website at someone's internet server and the server went down... they gotta report then as well why and how do we solve that...

And this ain't the first time this happens... this has happened a couple of times now...

Admit it Hibs and Mythic, this is just standard code.
- Albs at Relic keep
- Hibs have no chance to keep relic
- Albs might nuke 1% better with relic
then, CRASH ZONE

Just admit it feckers, it is actually in the code...
I logged back in, got ganked eventually by relic guards...
I think Mythic/GoA suck donkey balls, cannot patch a server right... cannot let people play right...
Morons...
And they should just give us the relic then, if they reset the zone, bleh!

And we had you owned at Excal last month.

Shit happens, get over it..

 

[old.Mick]

i feel sorry for the albs logging into the middle of hib zerg....

poor albs :help:

 

[ilienwyn]

Funniest thing ever? We were then logged in hibland (not frontier, but main hibland)
Personally i was dropped from so high i died an xp death
But it would be funny to all over hibland and kill people, maybe they would do something to fix that...

 

[skyrie]

No, they'd probably ban you

Hib was owned there, too busy trying out new stuff.

"we had you owned big time............"

Yes. Lets bring 270 hibs and see how much of a chance you really have.

 

[K0nah]

yeh who needs to defend a relic when u can just herd up as many greys as u can find and crash the zone.

lameness :mgwhore2:

And of course we did crash the zone intentionally...

 

[kameh]

It's a conspiracy or didnt you know that

 

[Qte Eth]

haha not very often alb best tactic -zerg failes ur fault if u take ~300 attackers be ready to zonecrash lol
remembering when hibs attack excal some time ago albs just suicide and pop at bind stone what caused zone crash and then they were laughing here and aussie telling how uber he is as usual ganking solo hibs coming back after zone crash

 

[Crazygimp]

well tbh i don't care, a zone crash f*cks up game, when hibs get it to that is!
GOA really should view into this big time!
there two possibility's to take a relic, zerg or take alll keeps and do it organised(when did this work? once on alb wont happen again i'm sure).
so as zonecrashes disable the first option and second is near to being hilarious there is no chance of a relic unless u get lucky or do it at 5am in the morning.
10 mins at a relic keep and second door under 50%, no hibs in terretory and boom bye bye relic, (same goes ofr hibs last month) thats just bs and u all know it!
anyway main point is we whine against eachother while we really should be whining to GOA caus once again theres a lame 'were sorry' post on daoc home page and still we keep paying this game.

my two cents
btw nice oranised raid Lac

when that many albs that far on the relicdoors zonecrash is a great solution for hib, althought it's kinda lame. but then again, it's not us to blame. I didn't expect you to continue bash event mobs when you had info that excali was under attack. also I don't expect you to expect us to continue doing our stuff (today; dueling and bugging around in the new dungeon mainly) when Dagda is under attack. if you however do, you are even more stupid then I think.

Stop accusing anyone for crashing the server, we didn't set the limits.

gerrr

Happened twice to me on RR , albs turn .. not hibs or albs fault imho .. goa should do something BEFORE SWG comes out , or they may find a lack of renewals .. not a lot else to do if we cant RR !

 

[Amadon]

shame.. you gotta feel for us hibs.. we had all those albs at dagda just waiting to be farmed and then the damn zone crashes on us!

on a more serious note, I do sympathise with albs and the leaders of the raid.. it's a terribly frustrating thing..

I just wish there was some other game as interesting as DAoC so we wouldn't have to put up with GOA's shit

 

[ghaladriel]

Bah! ffs GOA stole our relic..... with second door at 10% or down

[poppamies]

aussie.
not 100% albs foult server crashed...
Well if u albs hadn't been there, do u think the 100+ hibs had been there ?
so it's reallt the albs foult =)

 

[old.Verata]

Why is it that as soon as something like this happens, everyone rushes to BW and whines about it? How do you expect it to get fixed? You think anyone in a position to fix this sort of thing is going to come here and wade through all the whinging in the vain hope that they might find something constructive?

If it's that important to you, go to the official site and send a mail to the relevant person at Mythic. This isn't GOA's fault. It's something built into the game itself and that means it's Mythic. All GOA have to work with is the tools Mythic give them.

If you want something to be done about problems like this, make sure you contact the right people and offer a constructive complaint or advice. Don't just run to BW and whine like a little girl...

 

[Juanita]

They have the same problems with zone-crashing so i do not think GOA is really at fault here.

 

[Molten Lava]

Solution

The solution is simple:

We meet some random hib with the relic near Excal so he/she can hand it over and we put it in Excal (thats right Excal and not that undefendable keep in Snowstonia or whatever that part of the map is called)

Fair solution and everyone happy (hibs will be happy coz we wont crash all their zones all the times next few weeks)

Part of the problem is that people don't know what snowdonia is and have no clue how to get to Myrddin.

But indeed, some gamedesigners at Mythic screwed up there.

it wasnt Alb zerg that crashed it, we did 2 doors without crash.
let 50 ppl attack a relic and 400 defend it and it will also crash

Hib got 400 player in total - so I don't think you are right

 

[Flimgoblin]

Has to be said it was a bloody impressive army

all lined up in our guild cloaks... what DAoC should be about.

Of course the moment we moved my machine slowed to a crawl...

 

[--Eraser--]

nice solution against zone crashes:

lets say the zone can hold 300 ppl, well if the 301st arrives at the zone-border, he gets a message:

"sorry mate, its full here now! come back later and try again "

this would be fun

no it would be boring (300 albs in Mt Collory = Dagda undefendable, 300 albs in Excalibur = Excal un attackable)
There should be a maximum limit of players per realm in a zone tho, so if a zone can hold 300 people, then only 100 people per realm can be in that zone

summit needs to be done - all the preparation involved, great job by Lac etc - and all wasted.

perhaps we should roll the same force in every night and crash the fecking thing till the situations addressed muhaha! :kissit:

Naah, we will just station 2FGs LA at relicand it would be safe, nps, according to all albwhine adressed to them.
