Again, 10 people. It can barely handle 10 people. How do people not see how completely ridiculous that is? At this point a stress test should be a couple thousand of people, not 40. The bugs are bad enough (corrupt your data?) but the fact that something that is basically an MMO freaks the hell out when you have 40 people is insane. Hell, the PS2 can hadnle FFXI and there are often times when there are 100 people at the Auction House. And yes, this is the beta but bugs as big as any of the bugs shouldn't be there. There are major freezing issues, major display issues, major login issues, and the fact it can't even function at the basic level (have all your friends logged in) is pretty terrifying. So before you tell me "lol it's the beta" just look at something like the Halo 3 beta. That's what a beta is supposed to run like, maybe a little worse but still at least run. |
Lag may have been because of bad bandwidth. I'm not sure who they got this information from so I don't know if it was common or just one person. I will say this for certain though. The corrupt data is most likely the cause of it freezing in the middle of a save. Which yes because it was unstable the data got corrupt by a crash. The bug itself didn't corrupt it. I hope that makes sense. What I don't understand is why they are having problems. Sony has EQ, EQ2, and that starwars game. It's not like they don't have experience in this. And yes a stress test can be considered with 40 people. The thousands of members on would be checking the servers. I think this is a zone stess test. (see how many people can be in one area)
