	We will be bringing down Argonnessen and Thelanis at 3:00 PM Eastern (-5 GMT) today, Monday, March 21st, for diagnostic testing and maintenance work. We will keep you updated. No immediate ETA to announce. To my fellow argonites and thelanians, God speed

	Read as: "we have no idea what the fuck is going on, had to take a big, fat crap on some people, and our data indicates the DDO consumers on these two servers spend less money on the game (both per capita and in the aggregate), so yeah; diagnostics."

	Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck! Come home after a long day to this? /sad

	I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

	Eeeew it stinks in here, was someone eating a 'desperation sandwich" or was it Puerto Potty trying to be taking serious again? Wonder if he figured out manyshot with all his extra spare time now.

	Lag was way better after Thelanis was back up. Did a full round of legendary raids and noone was lagging much.

	Started to read through the thread... It took us a sledgehammer to get them understand that the lag is in the server... but now that they have understood it, they seem keen to actually make a decent try at trying to find and kill it.

	Lag wasn't bad on Argo last night, one or two hicupps. Few people playing, though. Maybe they reduced the drop rate to fix lag? I did 10 runs of Tavern Brawl and didn't see a single fucking item

I did 10 runs of Tavern Brawl and didn't see a single fucking item IF they fixed lag by nerfing mob AI as suggested in another thread, then it is pretty pointless. So people can play now in raids and quests where the mobs offer as much threat as the training dummy? That'll be satisfying! (Not)

	Yeah I don't think they nerfed the AI. If my experiences last night were any indication, the AI has gotten slightly better. Hires are still shit, though. I think if a hire lets you die you should get a refund

	What quest would this AI change best be represented in? For ease of testing and documenting.

Just run a quest that you know inside and out from farming the crap out of it for some item. They definitely behave differently. Search patterns while players are invisible are the most obvious.

	Was running VON 1, there'd be a mob from each mob group in each wave that somehow couldn't make its way out the door with the others. Had to stand in front of each gate 'til I got their attention, then back a bit away so they'd open the door themselves. Maybe they just didn't want to die as much. Their preachers must be slacking off.

	It's been like that since the datacenter move. I also had mob dropping in water in Don't Drink the Water, mob getting stuck in weird places in VON3... The AI is partially fubared since the datacenter move. But I don't think it's the lag source... Unless the player detection script is part of the AI. ( I really think it's the NPC/Mob awareness script that generates the lag )

I doubt it was any one thing. It was probably a combination of issues manifesting at the same time. Thus, also delaying root cause identification. That's the problem with data center moves. You have altered so many factors simultaneously, that isolating which changes are causing the problem is much more complex.

But now lag isn't as bad as it was last week so they can leave the rest for the next producer, right?�
