Why should this happen, well, hopefully it will reduce lag by reducing what’s happening throughout the world. now how? a few ideas
private servers, could work, could not
lower server max players to like 10 or 8
this will hopefully reduce lag because ik some people will quit from lag
better idea: possibly make multiple server types that differ in sizes (e.g. 18, 12, 6) and have a menu players can use to join them
i knew i forgot something
Exploiters are gonna have a field day on this one
Awkward and probably bad solution to a major problem that it seems like most people, including me, have just accepted.
ok so idk how to make those dropdown lists or spoilers so this is just a rant on lag you dont have to read it:
Idk how optimized AO is but it is really laggy sometimes. Even in the least laggy server my laptop can’t even run the game at 60 fps, sometimes even barely scratching 50. And don’t get me started in the laggy servers. And yeah I can try to turn down my graphics but the render distance is HORRIBLE, even outside of sailing around where it’s the most important.
Anyways I think AO needs more optimization, idk how but it really needs it. Also I find that a lot of my lag comes from being near… my own attacks. A regular crystal self-explosion on the ground creates so much dust and debris that it instants brings me to <20 fps for an overflowing handful of seconds, alongside it confusing me since I can’t see anything because vetex loves extremely flashy and particle-heavy attacks. Less players won’t fix this, so yeah I don’t think this is a good suggestion.
yeah no
makes exploiting and bug abusing a shit ton easier when theres barely any players. reducing slightly the max amount of players isnt too bad but i highly doubt itd solve anything.
No thanks. Hold on,
i’m holding
it’s finally here…
