(then)

The netcode is horrendous, half of the people have to play over a VPN to not get disconnected everytime they cast, which basically teaches people from day 1 how to circumvent the 3 box limit, because they are being educated in how to connect via VPN to change their IP.

Problem and solution in the same post <3

All these problems are trivial compared to scrolling out in first person. Who can make that happen?????

It's not me!

The netcode can be fixed. Been there. Done that.

They need to put ACK on spell bar enable opcodes for casting. If you have any dropped packets, its brutal without that.

Don't play over a wireless, is HUGE. Boxing requires seperate computers to work well.

I am having fun over there so far. But I love to 3 box. Will probably never be in a guild. And may never make it to level 30.

Got my two characters up to 6, barely have time to play though. My only problem is when zoning it seems to hang up and I have to close the window and reload the game, and it does this very often. Other then that it seems like it can be a fun server to spend some time on.

Ack flags are set on the spell bar enable packet. Maybe we're handling acks wrong? Not sure.

Been sporadically messing around on this server

Seems decent

My one complaint would be not being able to scroll out in first person view. Is there a way to make this possible on pc client? Game would be like 100x more awesome

Not sure. I pulled out my old netcode to see how it worked. Almost puked. And quit looking at. Will take another glance. I did a lot of trial and error on a few things. I found less ack's were way better than more.

From what I have seen (based on the Shards netcode) you're probably right in that assessment. When it hits 65535 in the ACK sequence, weird things start happening.

Thanks for the tip. Will try and mess w/ it a bit.

I have played the help for in game rewards before. Did that over on Dalaya. Then they totally nerfed my rewar later. I dont help there anymore. Their loss. I have no plans to help on tak. I dont get along very well with others sometimes. And dev by comittee is not for me.
