Is it just me, or is patch 1.71 taking DAMN long to get live?

Lots of ppl are waiting to that patch to level artifacts (ofc - since they now realized they screwed up with the original arti xp idea).. also alot of ML raids will be organized once 1.71 hits our servers.

So GOA, any info? Doesn't seem to be any date set, according to the last news...?

your assuming 1.71 fixes the ToA lag, As GoA keep telling us patches take so long because of differant code on Euro servers. 1.71 might not make any differance with lag or maybe worse. GoA have already said they cant test the lag, as they are in france and dont get it...

GOA can't test lag?..sounds like an excuse to me. They could do it with a bit of imagination. Whats the player base in UK? Time to bring in in-game GM's on each server so that this company can get feedback. Its done on other MMO's.

There already are in game gm's. Try /who 100. They're not on all the time as they're working on.. you guessed it the patch.

They don't come up when you do /who 100 becuse they're monitoring radar usage and don't want to be known what zone they're in :)

Thats what I was told anyway ;)

Sometimes they're 'hunting', and are /anon, yeah. But (especially since NF) they are visible most of the time during workhours, and sometimes even in the evening.

We're more often visible then not visible ... but fact is I spend entire days online when I'm doing other stuff while occasionally alt tabbing back to the client to see if anyone spoke to me and they haven't...

So please do try /who 100 more often ;)

And on 1.71 the news has been 'first half of January' and that still stands.

There are several causes of the lag. One was an issue with OpenTransit which we have been working on and now seems to be mostly resolved as a result of many people sending us pingplots and traceroutes.
The other issue is one of code optimisation. NF introduced a lot of new features and much better graphics. Unfortunately it also increased the load on servers. We upgraded our servers prior to 1.70 going live following advice from Mythic (who found out about this problem after 1.70 went live in the US and had to upgrade their servers to alleviate the problems). Upgrading the servers is only part of the solution however, and 1.71 includes a lot of optimisations to smooth the load and reduce the ToA lag which is felt in all realms.

Lag can be caused by many, many different things so it's natural that you may experience lag for different reasons either separately or at the same time, it's also entirely possible for several people to experience lag at the same time but for different reasons. This sticky post describes some of the more common forms which may be caused by settings on your machine, conditions on the internet generally or by conditions on the game servers.

Release of version 1.71
The internal tests of version 1.71 are still running and the volunteers have begun to test the English and German clients for the SI and SuperClassic versions. We will continue our tests during the Christmas holidays and we plan to release the version the first week of January.

*cough* :)

It's his perfect grammar and spelling that gives him the right to do so! Also for your information "Xxcalibur" I keep hoping for 1.71 to get my Mad Scallers from Level 7 to Level 10, so yes "rly" some people are waiting.

Yeeah. sure, the US servers are running Catacombs before new years day and in europe we're still expecting 1.71.

How lame is this?

Fortunately other MMORPG's are in the market so maybe GOA will finally get to be more caring in order to keep ppl playing because I guess they'll possibly get less subscriptions now

Wish this patch delay could be forgotten, absolutely innecessary.

I guess the german and french would go "boohoo" if they (oh no!) had to play with an english client.

Simply terrible (I'm not english either, -patch delay +uptodate patching :|)

Drugs are bad, mm'kay?

Wish someone would ban Peder and his alts Framfall and Bakfall :( He tries so hard to be funny but fails utterly - lets face it, writing really bad english on purpose and/or pretending to be 10 years old is very very old by now :twak:

Well, if you are dyslexic, you could help us by using a spell-checker to catch the biggest typoes. Noone here will think any less of you for it, and it makes it easier for people to understand what you write.

A dyslexic wouldnt set a post out like he does as it highlights it, he's just trying to be funny.

I think you need to google what dyslexia is...Plus that is not dyslexia it's called being a retard. I used to suffer from a form of dyslexia, but I still try my best to type and make very few spelling mistakes which on the whole I think I do.
There are many people who post here in English when it is not thier first Language, I respect that, it's not as if I can go and type perfect German or Italian now is it, at least they make an effort.
