I very much agree ... Isle of Iron Statues and Refuge of the Apostate are great! When you're in a less central time-zone (mine's GMT +3) and looking to kill 30 mins, they're quite welcome.

An unchained solo for The Breach can't be that hard to add. Perhaps some lower-level 6-man areas (e.g. Frost Swamp)could be done as unchained solos as well.

Well some good things for PVP but the main thing what pvp need is stats! and the way to see how you actually are doing . Way to see progression in long run too.

And facepalm to the new minimap... How long have we been talking about this and its still far away ???

[pelethor]

seems like this update spells really bad news for the future of this game,whatever new content you bring in from now on is all fine and good but this relocation of the EU servers to the US will bring a definate permanent downgrade of the quality of gameplay for your EU players its ridiculous

the EU servers have far more players then the US ones its us EU customers keeping this game alive,eastern european players will be hit hardest by latency issues with this server move,theres probably nearly as many russians playing this game as americans and their latencys gonna go to hell,i can really see aoc losing a lot of EU players with this move,nobodys gonna play a laggy frustrating game and why should they when theres plenty of other options out there

pvp thats gonna be great too,i'm sure the EU pvpers are gonna be really thrilled to be playing against US players with a huge advantage in latency lol

anyway the rest of the letter is great lots of great stuff there but latency and server stabilty trumps all imo and the way things look now it doesn't look great for this game,in the long term you US players need to realise that what happens to the EU players is gonna effect the future of your game too,so all this celebration of this letter is really premature

anyway call me whiney if you want but lets see where the game is in a few months time,to me it doesn't look good but maybe i'm wrong :P

oh yeah one last thing before you add any new content to dragonspine fix the last boss in sepulcher its annoying thats its broken for months now

I am having 50+ latency on a good and solo play session up to 100-200 in khitai and 50-500 in pvp now (nothing beats waking up dead as soon as an enemy sees you and you get ccd, instadamaged and kited while being able to do...nothing So actually pvp IS already unplayable (or 95% luck) for me). So i will go as far to think any change they do MIGHT also work for the better (assuming something gets fixed on the way or gets better by a new physical server location (a server in europe will do no good, if connected badly either)).

I am not a network technician, but if one side has 50 ms and the other side has 200 ms, isn't it partly a question on how you program/define the "average" time of the server?
Physical location and connection is just one thing influencing latency i think though...and IF the software or provider and server structure gets upgraded, it might not turn out a desaster (most annoying things to me atm are the lagspikes and freezes).

You said it youself, you want the OPTION to do solo stuff.
Sadly f.e. two Turan instances are totally wasted for me because i hate solo stuff and there is no OPTION for me to switch to 6-man mode.

Btw i still believe that Dead Mans Hand would have been a really nice "normal mmo style" map. With traders in the village etc.

And if you really play half an hour a day and do solo stuff there is a question if mmo is a right genre for you m8...

Thats a speculation m8. TSW servers are in US too and everything runs smoothly.

[Hollastar]

Gosh there so many EU players upset about server merge plan.

In think there's enough solo instances with sweets rewards atm.

It's ridiculous now with constant lag spikes, instance crashes several times a day, server running slow and laggy quite often (some days ping is up to 50-100 higher than when it's lowest and it's not my connection or PC). Nowhere near as bad on US servers, latency might be a bit worse but without all the random lag and server just being slow, should be much better off overall.

Ofc they might screw everything up with the merges but making the big assumption that it goes ok anyway it should be better for everyone really. Either way, probably this is part of the 'consolidation' thing anyway, 1 server location has gotta be a lot cheaper than 2.

Everything sounds good. Keep at it Joel, you sexy bear.
