We will see when they start throwing more systems in to get more content. I'm pretty sure we gonna wait until next year for that to happen. Just gotta hope we still have a playerbase when it's starting to look and feel more like a game

I will welcome my EU friends to NA with open arms after your server dies in a month.

I need to find when I subjected steel and flame to firing squad

glacial escarp
#

ngl with how its looking right now

#

gearing mightve been even more of a nightmare on a mega server

#

but i personally wouldve rather have a mega than 2 servers Prayge

jagged kite
#

Gearing will always be a pain until hunting is made not hunting

#

Jewelry and weapons arent too bad tho

#

Early game poi grind always a fucking drag but the mega server made it fun atleast

glacial escarp
#

cuz right now its kinda 50-50

#

if they are bound , its gonna be legit a shitshow

#

"OH MY WEAPONSMITH ISNT ONLINE I GUESS I CANT FARM RECIPES HEHE"

#

but atleast now theres like actual builds and stuff to be made and not
"
220 power X

Wait until ppl find out what they did to biome specific recipes

#

if someone on ur server has a complete monopoly on something u have a diffrent issue than timezones

mossy bramble
alpine kindle
#

We did. That's true. Different issues on both servers

glacial escarp
#

unsure what the plan is with that, but i hope they dont plan on sticking with it

mossy bramble
#

coz lord knows if ashes needed one thing it's more mindless mob grinding

glacial escarp
#

i embrace the 2 braincells Prayge

#

but one can only hope they dont move in the direction of "bound on equip, everything has to be grinded by the player himself" mentality that some games nowdays have

#

cuz it will kill the whole guild working as a team vibe that you currently have in a lot of the guilds

mossy bramble
#

Yeah exactly, just kills the social aspect of the game, which is the point of MMO's

#

If they wanna do it for 4* Elites and up recipes I'm fine with that, doing it to the rest makes little sense

alpine kindle
#

BSC tried the commie approach. It was downvoted after a while & the cohesion kinda died. Collectivism worked for the most part funnelling resources to artisans. Bound recipes would make that more difficult to implement.

glacial escarp
#

yaknow what , i could probably live with recipes being bound
since theres ways around it
but i really would cry the day they made gear bind on pickup / equip

alpine kindle
#

Equip maybe. But not pickup

glacial escarp
#

can have ur crafter parked somewhere and 7man grind till the recipes he needs drop Prayge

#

or whatever you can somehow manage

#

but being able to swap gear around with friends without much hassle has been such a qol thing for me atleast id hate to see it gone

alpine kindle
#

It'd be nice to have the guild slots for specific builds for specific content.

#

Or stash personal in storage in towns nearest to content?

mossy bramble
#

I could live with BoP recipes if it didn't contradict what they said they wanted to achieve with crafted gear a month ago

glacial escarp
mossy bramble
alpine kindle
#

Most systems are placeholders, or have been. We've just been working with what's been given at that time..

glacial escarp
#

which to be fair, is not a bad way to find out how things will be recived by the testers

#

instead of doing the "poll" angle where people dont even test the system and theorize how it would work in practice

last wadi
#

guys, do we have the node planning sheet for EU?

glacial escarp
#

they just "ah fuck it" implement it, and then when community madge change it

mossy bramble
glacial escarp
#

to make 1 2x4 plank you need 10 LOGS

#

SEEMS LOGICAL

mossy bramble
alpine kindle
#

Alliances should be a drama creator all of it's own with vassalship. Can't wait for the backstabbing going forward

mossy bramble
alpine kindle
#

Maybe for the better. More of a clean slate.

glacial escarp
#

as if someone will bother with backstabbing

#

i think most alliances atleast in eu will be like

mossy bramble
glacial escarp
#

"yo, we are bored lets fight"

#

if it gets too dead

alpine kindle
#

Yeah, NA was way too reliant on maintaining alliances with smaller guilds so more status quo relationships.

glacial escarp
#

but then again eu has only 2 alliances that matter at this point

#

but id love to be proven wrong

alpine kindle
#

So smaller guilds will be forced into alliances with each other out of spite.

#

First against Pirates, then Fed when Pirates imploded, then whatever other ones after that. So many imploded guilds it's embarrassing.

glacial escarp
#

fighting zergs is always fun imo

alpine kindle
#

Agreed

glacial escarp
#

other than p2.5 ttk

#

that was a nightmare

#

going full glass cannon , and only hitting for like 30% of a monkey's max hp as a crit in ideal conditions was

alpine kindle
#

Overconfident messes. Just get destroyed.

Then they faction out, egos flare & the zerg eats its own ass.

# deft nest good to know so crafting is more important then before

Probably. A month ago they did bump up rates on mobs quite a bit, before nerfing it to the ground. PTR testing phases have fluctuated on whether the general vendors sell gear or not.
So it's a little up in the air. Crafting will always be super important tho, so def try to get your hands in to it at the start. Even if it's just gathering and processing.
Chose what race looks good for you. They're planning on not having Racials, but instead tying abilities to backgrounds everyone can chose from.

I think that's a pretty solid combo for duo'ing, but others may have more experience.

yeah eu west server is in ohio

spark moth
#

WTF?

eternal fulcrum
#

its always been ohio

spark moth
#

Why though? That's insane..?

#

Surely they want to minimise latency for players? If you have an EU realm surely you deploy it in an EU region in whatever cloud provider you use 🤔

eternal fulcrum
#

idk but they rent the microsoft servers i think

spark moth
#

Nah, pretty sure they confirmed they run Kubernetes for sever workers and I doubt anyone would be stupid enough to run Windows Kubernetes nodes.

#

I mean it's technically possible but I don't want to believe they are doing it..

eternal fulcrum
#

oh its amazon now

spark moth
eternal fulcrum
#

microsoft was used a stressed test forever ago

spark moth
#

So they should deploy in eu-west-1 or eu-west-2 on AWS, not us-east-2 🤔

#

Where are you based btw?

#

Maybe they have proxy servers deployed in US east but that is equally dumb as deploying the EU game servers in US 🤔

#

My best guess would be that they wanted to deploy a single set of infrastructure to save costs (part of the reason for a mega realm - because most server workers are underutilized for their lifecycle) and after the backlash they just deployed both US and EU realms into the same us-east-2 AWS EKS cluster.

#

@regal pond @pallid elk @worn zinc - Can you comment on why it looks like the EU "realm" is deployed in us-east-2 please?

eternal fulcrum
#

i thought there was a post months ago about when lotharia comes back itll be hosted in us east

spark moth
#

It's possible these TCP connections are used to communicate with shared game services and the actual game server packets are over UDP?

haughty comet
#

it could be, but AoC uses grpc

#

e.g tcp

spark moth
#

Interesting

#

I do have two UDP connections held open by the AoC client

#

Maybe someone with wireshark installed could test further 👀

#

Sorry - they were UDP listening ports, misread

#

Not used to looking into this stuff on Windows

#

Interesting that most of the traffic sent is going to an eu-north-1 EC2 instance though

#

Can you confirm if it it's the same for you?

#

Think I'm considering my pitchfork lowered at this point 😂

so im playing on "EU" but IP Location says for the Launcher Columbus and for the gameserver Ashburn in Virgina i dont know

#

Maybe an employee from Intrepid could comment on this. That might be appropriate.

sleek tendon
#

Honestly I wouldn't mind them being honest and saying they're doing it because of costs or whatever
But this kinda feels like being lied to and scammed

#

(if the server is actually just an US server with an EU sticker on it)

vivid pumice
# hot dagger so im playing on "EU" but IP Location says for the Launcher Columbus and for the...

This question has come up before I believe. I think the official answer is that they (Intrepid) do not have the infrastructure or resources available to host a server geo-located in EU. At least not for the Alpha, anyway. They said that they do plan to have proper region-available servers at release, but for now, it's just a separate server for EU folks to enjoy that happens to be based in the US.

#

It sucks for EU folks with high ping, but in the Alpha, there's not much that can be done for now

#

Server infrastructure costs a good deal, so I don't know how eager they are to implement region-based servers at this point in the development of the game

hot dagger
# vivid pumice This question has come up before I believe. I think the official answer is that ...

I fully understand the cost aspect of a server, especially when it’s located in the EU. However, that simply has nothing to do with honesty and transparency when it’s then claimed that there is an EU server. Unfortunately, I am not aware of any statement from Intrepid and haven’t come across anything in that regard. If there is an official statement on this, it would be great if you could link it here or send it to me.

vivid pumice
#

I don't know as there's any sort of official statement, but I think there was a interview stream where it got brought up ages ago.

#

I think it was when there was still several servers, not just Shol and Lotharia

hot dagger
#

so start phase 1 with a bunch of servers?

#

i think 4 US Servers and 3 EU Servers

#

i mean 7 US Servers xD

vivid pumice
#

It would be nice to have more realms, but I think the number of players so far probably hasn't warranted it. My guess is that they're focusing on their dynamic server worker system and making that as stable and reliable as possible before opening more realms.

#

I can't wait until release. Looking forward to lots more players

old rain
#

You can really toy with iti.

quasi fossil
#

if they're running the game servers from aws, tbh, the EU costs are little to no different to the US ones - and they'd get more realistic data from the EU players.

vivid pumice
#

Aww man, they changed the keybind for mounts. Now I G my horse instead of F

old rain

But in my experience US pricing for many services costs more. Not surue about EKS tho.

Ich mag das neue Crafting garnicht es fühlt sich nun so an als würde man bestraft man muss mittel farmen zum Craften man muss die Materialien farmen und dann muss man noch basis materialien kaufen 30bronze taler pro material
sollte man diese Basis Materialien später selber craften können finde ich das umso ärgerlicher da man bis dahin so unfassbar viel Gold in diese Basis Materialien stecken muss zwecks aufwerten des Job's
Der Loop ist nun Gold farmen um überhaupt Farmen zu können gefühlt die gebühr ist ok man nutzt ja auch die Station sozusagen aber die Basis materialien mechanik mag ich null

Ich mag es wenn der Fortschritt länger dauert aber das ist mir dann zu Heftig das muss ich ehrlicherweise so sagen
