whats a tcp and udp remote

update fucking sucks booo :tomato::tomato::tomato::tomato::tomato::tomato::tomato::tomato::tomato::tomato::tomato::tomato::tomato:

hey i dunno if anyones said this but armor break is honestly like.. extremely very not problematic in the slightest. like i bought 300 and one of my highlevel peices only required one repair kit. genuinely its not as bad as we thought, it takes two seconds and ur back to fighting, ignore it and you preform worse and possibly get it ruined lmao

and im gonna remind you, armor break only applies to ANIMALS CURRENTLY. are you ever going to fight a hightier animal you werent prepared for? nope, so it literally is so avoidable and it has an easy remedy

stay informed fourmers :smiling_face:

TCP; When it notifies the server/client, it always makes sure the signal reached by requesting a response, the pros are of course this is guaranteed to reach the server/client but at the cost of high traffic.

UDP; doesn’t give two shits about it the signal reaches, it fires and forgets about it, of course that means it’ll not be guaranteed to reach the server/client, but it’s way faster and lighter on the server/client.

It’s best to use TCP for important data sending preferably not in a loop, where UDP should spend data that isn’t important enough to actually need every single time.

Then we’re back to the main problem; why add it in the first place is you can just not worry about it whatsoever?

if i were you i’d use reliable and unreliable remote

Fair, TCP/UDP were just easier to write at the time and they technically achieve the same result :sweat_smile:

bait or low iq?

first off, most late game enchanted armours actually cost 3-10 to repair so i have no idea what armour you’re using (level 50 ravenna ensign armour?)

second off, it’s literally just ‘realism’ spam. no explanation needed, soap but even worse as it actually affects gameplay (don’t even get me started on vanity giving stats)

third, the time it takes to repair depends on your lag and amount of items as you have to open your ACTUAL INVENTORY mid-combat, and you will mostly be doing this in the far reaches so enjoy 5 second load time per action (roughly 15-20 secs total)

@Scandin btw is there any need for the game to refresh your entire inventory everytime you do something?

I thought about it but everytime I imagine the logic it feels like it would be fine to let the client partially assume what it has aslong as it can’t modify what the server already knows.

Not really, no.
The optimal solution would be to dynamically add or remove inventory items, as well as not reloading it every time you open said inventory, there’s never a need to completely reload it.

Of course, it’s harder to make it in this way, but it would benefit majorly.

damn, dont gotta be so abrasive.. :sleepy_face:
anyways my gear hasnt been anywhere near 10 repair kits, and my current dragon slaying armor build is sunken plus other knick-knacks, so dunno what ur using that jacks up the price so high

also like, im just voicing my opinion, maybe ur laptops so crappy that stuff wont load, which i get
im not like “oh this is an amazing feature” i literally just said it isnt as bad as people thought

I’m pretty confused with vetex now, Does he just not know about stuff like this? I can appreciate his recent open post about optimization. But some of the posts from other devs do make a little sense.

also like, doesnt armor break come from damage? so if ur waaaay more defensive or properly guard its not as prevalent in fights such as ancients? like ive only fought two corrupteds, no ancient yet, but ive experienced only one repair throughout the process xd

The feature is either useless or annoying to most people. It’s not as bad sure but people here are talking about it after testing it, not before.

So it seems like your just telling people it isn’t bad while ignoring points that aren’t really disprovable.

So hence ragebait/low iq

It’s an old system, it’s likely what I’ve stated in other areas; He, and hence the other developers are not brave enough to take drastic measures for optimizations.

what points? its early in the morning i cant tell lol

Bait or low IQ?

Bro the other guy gave a basic idea of the problems right below his message :sob:

If you don’t like the game, then stop playing. We aren’t going to hunt you down just because you ‘abandoned’ the game. But don’t complain on an internet forum and get surprised when people that don’t think the same way you do give criticism. When you have an opinion and want to express it, be prepared to counterargue.

And don’t go down the ‘ooh but noo you guys are all trying to silence me for being right, god forbid someone have opinions!1’ route. You’re not playing martyr buddy. Expressing your opinions is allowed, but not if you’re wording it so negatively on purpose.

i mean, the cost argument is pretty okay, but you gotta pay to play i guess
and i think the silly ones about “oh its time consuming” doesnt make sense cause.. cant you just take a break from fighting? atleast with one of my dragons i broke and just walked away for a sec, they literally stand there and look at you lol
