4/27 Maintenance (4pm to 12pm)

[Mike]

Do you like maintanence? 'Cause we're having another one today! Once again, when the times are posted, this post will be updated but it's very likely to just a few hours long instead of a long one like yesterdays.

EDIT: Shows how much I know. Today's maintenance will be 5 hours long, running from 4 to 9pm.
EDIT2: Extended to 10:30 pm.
EDIT3: Extended to 12pm.

[Reia]

Well! All for the sake of testing! I wanna know after they shut down if they gonna say something about the OBT yet!

[Ark22]

Well now I have time to do my

Emergency: Code Study

[Clessy]

I dont notice any improvements on this new server at all. Still a fucking lag fest in the lobbies.

There's going to be an announcement at 4pm today that may touch on that.

By "lag fest" do you mean the game running slowly or taking a long time for a chat bubble to appear after you press enter to talk?

There are people who confuse both, if it's the game running slowly though, it's not the servers fault, since that's not related to the servers, it's related to either your own PC or the client software.

[Ark22]

Lobby lag = Loading a shit ton of people at once and trying to say things or spam meaningless/perverted pictochats.

But besides that actual lag can come from when you try to feed your mag, or sell something and you have to wait like 5-10 seconds after you press the accept button.

=D Hope that clears some stuff up.

Loading. It takes forever for the textures to pop in and it takes even longer with text bubbles.

Also my pc does bog down cause theres about 200 people in a lobby sometimes.

Does this make a straight week of maintenance each day?

Dude, do you live in Japan? If not, then there is your problem.

[kyuuketsuki]

I don't live in Japan and, asides from the early problems, I don't have any egregious lag issues. A hiccup here and there, but that's to be expected.

[Griffin]

So you have a nice rig. The distance is still likely to be an issue.

[kyuuketsuki]

My rig wouldn't have any affect on lag. Unless you're talking about FPS issues, which wouldn't be affected by distance since it has nothing to do with the network connection.

Fucking this. My god, the amount of times I see bitching going on in Block 20 about the how the lobby lag is the servers fault.

Unoptimised code + hundreds of models to render doing a wide variety of animations = slow down in most peoples games.

[Griffin]

Performance can have an effect on latency if you're not able to process good enough.

[Alenoir]

Loading. It takes forever for the textures to pop in and it takes even longer with text bubbles.

That's not really lag. At least, not the same kind of lag the rest of Japan experienced during their peak time for the past 7 days and not the kind of "lag" SEGA have been trying to fix.

[Waluigi]

Performance can have an effect on latency if you're not able to process good enough.

Graphical lag and latency are not related

[Griffin]

If we're speaking network performance, yes. I said nothing about graphics.

We get FUN points for logging in every day consecutively....
SEGA gets FUN points for server maintenance every day hueuhe

[Dragwind]

I hardly had any server lag today, so I'm assuming the new hardware is doing good? I'm pretty far from the JP servers.

Actually, I'm pretty sure it's the server's fault.

If it weren't, it would load all of the models in the loading screen, before you're even able to move. As it is? You have to constantly wait for the server to send you the character data before you can see other players' characters. It'd have to be some pretty fucking unoptimized code to explain that level of loading delay.

It's particularly irritating as I have more than enough RAM to load the entire game into memory with no issue, but the game itself just cannot do that, just because of the way model loading works. Grumble grumble, sigh, moan.

Edit: In fact, I put the game on my SSD. If you're not aware, SSDs load insanely fast, fast enough to make most loading delays near-unnoticeable in standard games. Unfortunately, it really does almost nothing for PSO2 - the loading delays are almost the same as with a platter drive, which is just plain nonsense if you're going to blame it on the hardware.

I would think so to. But i havent had lag sense the first night. Maybe its the time i get on

[Arika]

Emergency: Code Study
Your study is in emergency!? D:

This!. it seem that the last hardware changed improve a lot here.
I not notice any lag at all. Although i didn't plan much because it is resetting all level soon.

It is one of the reason that JP complain about foreign. well.. I think dancing is still okay tho. Normal chat and shout is also fine, but not repeat them too much. It is not huge issue, can be fixed.

[Ark22]

Let's take block 20 and PUSH it somewhere else.

Haha joking but come on guys it's a beta, pretty sure they will whip out the bad ass coding after the closed beta is over and fix whatever needs to be fixed. Don't see why you guys are complaining seeing you guys don't work for them or probably have the slightest clue on net coding. We are a guest to the Japanese servers let's at least treat them nicely.

take the internet. All of it. We never did meet up. Damn my internet D:<

We definitely gotta meet up in OBT or the full release version.

Tried finding you, but I remember, I have the slightest clue on what your character looks like or his name xD. Just look for me around block 20 :P

[youcantcatchtheblue]

I live in Japan and it's still lag-tastic here. :D

Totally easy to miss. :p

[buri-chan]

Still haven't had any maint. How sad.

So what's the t-minus to end of beta? Because I have literally one last client order to do. I have no idea why the hell I've done so much.

[james_b]

45 mins till maint starts. 5 hours maintenance today so... Servers should be back up around 8 AM EST

[SELENNA]

I just got dc'ed. Was fighting a dragon in a multy party area, it was hectic

[Priest]

Man, we were doing cave exploration, Ran across Dark Ragne, Hollow Corpse Dark Ragne, A dragon, and Catarans, then finally got to the end Dragon, killed it, got loot, and DC'd xD

Am I reading that right... are they saying max level characters will get transferred into the open beta?

[mommy_cornelia]

Thank you for the info :D

[Tolaryn]

Never mind! Just say Mike's post! Disregard! *laughs*

[Eggobandit]

too bad i really have nothing to spend AC on

[Dark Emerald EXE]

Well that gives me times to finally make my mags....
been working on
Striking/Ability
Range/Ability
Ability (accidently got 1 level on range and refuse to start over)

[njdss4]

So much maintenance! I just have to keep telling myself "It's beta, it's beta, it's beta" but then I keep thinking "BUT I WANT TO PLAY!" :D

It's gonna be brutal having to wait for this game to be localized.

[GrandTickler]

mike please for the love of god add the timezone this maintenance is in. i have no clue how long it takes if u just post some random time.
i asked this yesterday as wel. is it JST?

[Macman]

All I know is that JapanTime is 13 hours ahead of EST, so if it's 6:30AM here, it's 7:30PM there.

Yes, Japanese time.

In the good news department, maintenance has been extended by an hour and a half. Yay!

[Spellbinder]

I don't approve of your interpretation of the word "good"... >.>

[Macman]

I can't help but wonder what exactly they're doing during these daily maintenance periods.

[GrandTickler]

karaoke and sexy dances in the lobby, the same as we do all day long :P

[Mike]

Well, the maintenance has been extended again, this time to midnight.

[Zyrusticae]

LOLWUT.

Poor JP players. They miss out for pretty much an entire day...

This is why I wish there was an offline mode. 11 PM EST can't come fast enough.


I too sometimes wish there was an offline mode. But maybe the PSU memories are still too fresh in Sakai's mind. :p

Well the mistake was having people play as Ethan Waber. We wanted to create our own character and play. They attempted to make a deeper storyline doing that and it didn't work.

Maintenance just ended and its just a bout 12:00am in Japan

[njdss4]

Hooray, now I just have to get through a sea of 434 errors just to finish patching, and by then I'll be too tired to play! :-P

[Vent]

I was wondering what the Closed Beta Test Phase 2 of the official tweet saying that the maintenance has ended is referring to.

[Wayu]

1000 more AC...that's a lot. >.>;

[DanteDMC]

Everyone back onto the ship!

then the time specified maintenance was wrong lol
