Please, feel free to chime in. Is it just me, or do we all just experience lag in instance 2049i?

That is how I remember the urban legend being built, tho I don't remember it being just Orien - I remember it coming about when Cannith Abomination came into being U10 or so; and applying game-wide.

And Vengeance's sentence "I would regret posting the i2049 theory but it got us a dev answer on the actual cause of lag and the devs confirmed that the lag was real and not client side." is spot on.

So Tuhrd, teh_meh, and LeslieWest SnoodleMonger, GFYs.

Can a player experience be a proof?

If you are the only one lagging, that I understand, but whenever you are in i2409 and the whole group can't move in FOT, that's a different thing.

yep.

i2049-i2051 instances are shared by Crafting halls. Avoid it all times.

Especially in FOT as this raid seems to like the i2049 instance. Everything will go smooth until reaver becomes a pupper of Truthful One, and then it will go downhill very fast.

You will not be able to move or do anything. The entire party will be hit with crippling lag. Once everyone dies, it will disappear and all will be back to normal. 

Until we know what the real definition of an "instance" is, everything else is speculation. 

Everyone's jumping to the conclusion it's a spun off virtual instance, a blade, a vm, or something similar; but MajMal's already said we are making the wrong assumption.

Players proving or disproving the theory of what causes a player-harming problem and then making this information part of the public record is essential to the eventual fix.

Turbine's past practice with issues that harm the player experience has been to:

0) say nothing when the issue is discussed
1) after prodding, deny it's existence
2) obliquely acknowledge its existence after the problem has been exhaustively documented multiple times
3) After prodding, assert that it is being studied
4) After more prodding, assert that the problem is more complicated than it looked at first
5) After Rodrak publishes the cause of the problem and the steps needed to fix it, do nothing
5.5) Optional - Ban Rodrak
6) do nothing
7) Tell the players that they've fixed the problem in the development environment
8) eventually fix the problem on the live servers.  Maybe.

Turbine may not be thorough in testing or in version control or in using a spell checker, but they are very very thorough about not skipping any element in this list.

It's their established culture and won't change any time Soon™

You forgot 6.5 Nerf random class saying their (thf, twf, multiple magic missles, multi-shot, etc. is the real reason for lag.

Saal

I know this is about his take on lag

but now that fucker thinks hes a cleric expert and that clerics have it so hard right now with limited options...

once again so sick of people who never truly played the damned class talking about it, I really am going to play on Lama this time and give full feedback even if its ignored I refuse to let them put this system through on the advice of guys like maddmatt fuck that shit.

Well I don't know what he said, but Clerics are getting screwed if what is seen on L-Land goes to live.

Basically , you need to spend 44 Points in the Healing tree to be a Radiant Servant.
Compare that to having to spend 42 points overall  to be able to do the same thing right now... those 4 Points you spent in Racial Toughness and the 6 points you spent in Racial Stat count right now they won't count after.

In itself the Healing tree is not bad, though some enhancements are weird ( Divine Vitality Exclusive-Or Divine Healing... and all those that are linked to that ), some are restricting ( 2 Stat at Tier 3 and 4 ( and you have to choose Charisma Exclusive-Or Wisdom ) instead of 3 in wis and 2 in Cha.

The Protection Tree is basically made just to make Shade have an orgams, it's just Buff other ( more AC, more Temp HP, ... ) and Buff Self ( same more AC, more HP )

There's no spell casting enhancement, no spell casting critical enhancement, no spell oriented enchancement at all ( beside healing that is )...
There's no melee oriented enhancements... Come on Warpriest is a Must Have.

I've screenshot&printed my two main clerics enhancements and I'm going to try to reproduce them with the new system... Then I'm going to start spamming the Bug report system.

Pretty much why I'm staying out of that end of the discussion. Yeah, I've done a couple fvs lives and still keep the clonk around, but I don't truly have enough love for clerics to make a truly informed set of suggestions there. mostly due to my inability to split my attention enough ways at a time to play an actual cleric properly. (Hey, at least I'm honest about it?)

This isn't quite true on the casting enhancements. Every point spent in those trees helps spell casting.
Healing Domain 1pt = 1.5 positive, 1 light
Protection Domain 1pt = 1 universal

There are a couple dev explanations on why they did away with a lot of the spell critical stuff and an overall increase of base critical hit damage from +50% to +100%. So expect those to be missing from all the casting trees.




I expect the next domain will probably be War to fit in with the old Warpriest PrE that was supposed to happen in the long long ago. PnP War grants free martial weapon proficiency in diety's favored weapon. Magic Weapon/Spiritual Weapon/Magic Vestment/Divine Power/Flame Strike/Blade Barrier/Power Word Blind, Stun, Kill are on the domain spell lists.

The lack of it at launch will seriously hurt a lot of builds though.

Yep and I respect that fully, what pisses me off are the ones who do not really care about the class, already in their mind deem them to be only worth amping up healing and f anyone who wants to play a cleric with their own personal flair especially if they dare try to combat cast or be weapon focused.

I'm just sick of part time clerics giving the most feed back on a class that really needs love. If they really open up more versatility maybe more people would play the damn class and see what those of us who have worked for years on our builds do.
