Edit: Servers are closed until they get a fix. Not servers tonight! As a classic SSG move, apparently there is a major hardware issue with the new server, so they are trying to fix it for launch day. Reports about lag will come once they feed all the hamsters.

vip's are still kind of in a deficet of things to make it worth it, but in this case we're basically beta testing the new servers for other people everyone will use them eventually you also arent missing out on much, me personally it took me 15 minutes to walk over to jeets at his camp. its so lagging that i cant move
Imagine lag paired with ping from playing in aus. Jumping puzzles and ranged attacks are a dice roll.. maybe you land, maybe you teleport next to an enemy, or fall 5 floors and have to start again. Even landing aoes is hit and miss.
Issues with performance translates to lag for you. I'm not sure how much you have played lotro but they do indeed have the same issues with performance as ddo has (albeit to a lesser degree) , which is why they started working on 64bit servers just like ddo. I've stopped playing ddo myself as I can't stand the lag we are having right now. Recently was playing on the 64bit european server for lotro and the difference in performance is noticable but the problem was that there were so many people playing at peak times that you would still get lag.
Most likely it will still have issues, but DDO capacity should be around hard-core levels and shouldn't be as much of an issue imo. Even still, Angmar is noticeably faster, although not perfect. If I can play DDO without a 5 second lag spike per quest that would be a huge improvement
Action boost hastes 30% haste bonus does feel incredible. That's why a permanent 35%+ action deboost to dual/repeater builds is such a bad design choice no matter what they do to compensate DPS. If the playstyle feels terrible to play it is a terrible design. Period.
Ok doubleshot is going up but the basic attack damage is the same with lower number of atks. Imbue suffers from this as well if im not wrong right? With lower atk speed means also less doubleshot hits if you dont have high chance. If you hit 2 doubleshots at -50% power or 1 at 100 % power is just the same damage over the same amount of time but lowering the atk speed and gaining no damage boost is a str8 up nerf. You lose the damage between the ability atks you do. Theres no buff in terms of damage per second. I may be wrong but surface level it looks like that. Please correct me cuz i really dont wanna be right on this!
32 bit hardware is from the fucking middle ages this should have been done years ago. It came out in 2003. Its been over TWENTY YEARS and almost every year since then Moore's Law held up and the number of transistors in chips SKYROCKETED, every, single, year, since. How much money do you think DDO has made in that time? Because I GUARANTEE YOU its infinitely more than the cost of playable servers And I GUARANTEE YOU they would MAKE infinitely more than the cost of the servers a second and third time over if they spent the money to make the game playable
For the share bank can they create a bag like augment bag but for anything and it will take only 1 slot in the inventory before the transfer to new server?
Casters getting red and purple alert with every monster in the game chasing them, spam fifty dance balls, spam 100 aoe spells and lag up the game but they don’t get nerfed. 😂
welcome back Strimtom. Really glad to see you are ok. Looking well btw. take care of yourself and good to see you back..... erm you owe us, yes I do mean OWE us, a build or two lol
Hey guy welcome back. That being said - this is for all those people who complain about lag while running through the game with 2 or more pets chasing them, with the bloodly footprint trail left behind you, while on your flying carpet, with you glowing armor/eyes/mount gear etc........ (I could go on but won't) maybe, just MAYBE, we are the cause for some of the lag
This new system is amazing. I love doing hardcore, but this will double the play pool of people to run with cause I know not everyone wants to mess with it.
I have 5 toons with 12 years worth of stuff built up and I left the game because they are unable to fix the lag. This will never change. It's an antiquated game with outdated graphics and it went to shit when Hasbro bought it.
And time to 'delete'. The thousands , 10's if thousands or even 100's of thousands of defunct characters. However it is not time to neglect recent ir present players. For now players should treat this as a TEST. AS SSG have stated. We hope this server + 1vir 2 more will keep and improve the game. WE ALL LOVE. I do hope so.
Man, 4 Bunnies with Thundercage with full speed modules will put out more bullets in 5 seconds than a Ranger would in an entire dungeon. Sad they need to pretend Rangers shoot too fast.
Strimtom I love your content but that was an awful analogy. If anything they added more "water" to the "swamp" and thinned it out so they could see what was polluting it. For the ranged changes it's really quite frustrating because I use inquisitive for leveling not end-game content and I like it because I only need to use my mouse button. I can understand why rapid range would cause server load theoretically, but I'm shocked that SSG didn't consider that previously if it is the problem though if the physics of a projectile are that taxing. Also I find it very suspect that they are suddenly discovering a problem with projectiles but the massive lag problem that has made the game unplayable for the past months happened after the new expansion released but none of those mechanics/new play styles are being removed. But who knows, I'm probably just a New Coke conspiracy theorist.

Heyyy welcome back Strimtom. Love ya man! Thanks for the update, was hoping you'd make a vid regarding this.
Yay Strimtom, good to see you uploading a video. Hope your studies are going well.
I've never clicked faster on any notification ever
You made me hyped!! Ty for this :-)
This guy is my favorite youtuber to watch for My Little Pony lore! Keep up the good work!
Welcome back! The new mount looks so cool.
Thank you Strimathy for reading outloud what i was reading when the notification dropped.
NGL.
Good to see you mate, study hard
Happy to see you again 😊
Hope to see you soon in Twitch someday man, big love.
Yay more Strim content. Server seems pretty 'hitchy'
Cheers. Thanks!
Welcome back Strim! I missed your videos!
Once again SSG uses the customer to test their product. And as per usual they jacked it up.
The Return of the King
Strimtom Sighting! Awesome
SERVER MERGE LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I can’t wait for the lantern only build
Welcome back good sir!
Welcome back!
good to see you strim
Counting the hours at this point.
Return of the king!
Welcome back :)
Hey Strim..Woo-hoo ❤
Aaaand hes back
Thanks for the info :)
Cormyr is up! :)
Cormyr is down 😢
We're so back
Obrigado
I'll give you a like because you said the servers suck and that you are learning from your previous mistakes.
Can I transfer to Cormyr if i drive to vegas, and offer the devs there mountain dews and a pan of my grandmas delicious brownies
I think it works as long the dew is a hot baha blast
Interesting. As soon as they have scaling UI I will be back. I hope this is a step in that direction.
HEY TOM! Now dont go away pls.
Really wish the 64-Bit Server wasn't a "Pay to Play" server ... but as long as that becomes The Norm... because it'll hopefully not be as laggy.
vip's are still kind of in a deficet of things to make it worth it, but in this case we're basically beta testing the new servers for other people
everyone will use them eventually
you also arent missing out on much, me personally it took me 15 minutes to walk over to jeets at his camp. its so lagging that i cant move
Not touching Cormyr till I can move all my stuff over. Having spent a fortune, I'm not parting with any more cash, full stop.
Cormyr will have issues with performance because it will be flooded, same thing happened with the 64bit servers in lotro.
I'm more worried about lag. I played lotro and I never seen lag like I do in DDO. Sometimes it's so bad I just log off.
Imagine lag paired with ping from playing in aus. Jumping puzzles and ranged attacks are a dice roll.. maybe you land, maybe you teleport next to an enemy, or fall 5 floors and have to start again. Even landing aoes is hit and miss.

Action boost hastes 30% haste bonus does feel incredible.
That's why a permanent 35%+ action deboost to dual/repeater builds is such a bad design choice no matter what they do to compensate DPS.
If the playstyle feels terrible to play it is a terrible design. Period.
Do you know if earned rewards will roll over to old toons?
Ranged nerfs now, caster and melee nerfs coming. I expect melee to have slower attacks and casters to have increased cooldowns. Thanks SSG!
Prism stance have lost a lot of weight now, same as procs.
hopefully they increase the proc chance, so that it's better even with slower attack speeds
Ok doubleshot is going up but the basic attack damage is the same with lower number of atks. Imbue suffers from this as well if im not wrong right? With lower atk speed means also less doubleshot hits if you dont have high chance.

Hold up. That tiger image showed a light-generating lantern!??
They said it wasn't a nerf.
It was.
Casters getting red and purple alert with every monster in the game chasing them, spam fifty dance balls, spam 100 aoe spells and lag up the game but they don’t get nerfed. 😂
what monster
type is the mist walker
☕
welcome back Strimtom. Really glad to see you are ok. Looking well btw. take care of yourself and good to see you back..... erm you owe us, yes I do mean OWE us, a build or two lol

(I could go on but won't) maybe, just MAYBE, we are the cause for some of the lag
.....and then it got worse, and then it got worse..........and then,.....it got worse 😔
Didn't we hear the same thing about TWF? It's causing lag, we need to nerf it.
This new system is amazing. I love doing hardcore, but this will double the play pool of people to run with cause I know not everyone wants to mess with it.
I tried rolling here to get back into the game, it gets so many little micro freezes, I thought am 64bit server would be more stable not less
Just TRed in to an multi class inquisitive, haven't gotten any ranged attacks yet... *Sigh*
Hey I remember this guy! He hasn't posted any videos in two months.
I have 5 toons with 12 years worth of stuff built up and I left the game because they are unable to fix the lag. This will never change. It's an antiquated game with outdated graphics and it went to shit when Hasbro bought it.
And time to 'delete'. The thousands , 10's if thousands or even 100's of thousands of defunct characters. However it is not time to neglect recent ir present players.

when you gonna update all your builds to lvl34 im sure itll only take a minute 😂
Man, 4 Bunnies with Thundercage with full speed modules will put out more bullets in 5 seconds than a Ranger would in an entire dungeon. Sad they need to pretend Rangers shoot too fast.
So in summary... no hardcore league this year, instead you get a rip off hardcore league, but only VIP are allowed to participate / play on it.

For once the ranged attack changes make sense.
