Why add 100 pop server ?

[cptjacksparrow 1]

Hello guys,i know this is alpha and everything will be improved but i dont know why dayz is adding 100 pop servers if normal servers lag so much and i watched alot of streams,one of them was summit1g and the servers was lagging so much So heres the question. Why add 100 pop servers if you cant even fix 40/30 pop server lag ?

 

 

Sorry for my english ! My main language is portuguese

Because you are wrong by saying that all of them lag. I've been playing today for many hours on 50 and 100 servers. I had no lags at all! Even on a full server with 100 people I simply had no lags. It is getting better and better but to answer YOUR question: why not? Nothing stands in the way to do so, the only problem is that there are way too less such servers.

[Rick1633 136]

Oh god.  A sensible question.....

let me try....

 

Because bohemia thought it would be cool that if pushing your weapon hot key 5 times on a server of 36 players just to pull your weapon once was cool...... Lets try having to push your hot ket 15 times on a server with 75 players.

 

Hey, when your doing coke off the ass of Hot Ukrainian girls with our 40 million.....this makes sense.

Dude.  Because your on experimental.  When this shit goes regular it would crash.  Remember the last stable release?

shhh. you are misinformed. The lag is a problem, which is being fixed by the day. and constantly being tested by the team. So. shhhhhh

[Daemonkid 493]

Because apparently the new Net message structure is working. (Which is the source of you key stroke "lag"

This is supposedly fixed so they are trying to roll out larger servers. I doubt 100 man servers will be available for stable soon, mostly just for testing at this point in time. But who knows, they may roll them out to stable.

[Irish. 4886]

Its called stress testing.

 

They push the server to see if it hits high ping levels and crashes. Is it ping levels? Damn Im retrosado right now.

 

100 player servers are a good thing. More than likely you have seen lag because, 1. the server is getting stressed, or more likely 2. you have a high ping on that server. Most are reporting good experiences on the 100man servers. I am. They are great. Targets EVERYWHERE...  :o

I don't have any problems with lag on full servers. Not sure what's causing your issues, but it's all good on my end.

[nexventor 429]

You know at the same time as increasing server size they revamped the "messaging" which was causing a lot of the lag. They need to test this shit or people start complaining "Why you no love testing before releasing to stable?". Experimental (and to another degree stable) is the test bed for this stuff. Sometimes it might not go according to plan. 

 

If you actually played experimental you would know that a full 100 player server was running more smoothly and less laggy than the current 40 player servers.

[shaeg 136]

50/50 is fine but the 100/100 is so laggy i shot a guy coming out of building and he still ran across the road and hit me with the axe... when he dissapeared... his body was on the stairs inside the house

 

And opening doors/pulling out weapon sucks the worst of balls  It is a test server though so no real complaints... LAG IS TO BE EXPECTED. EARLY ACCESS ALPHA, TESTING SERVER.

i played some experimental last night!       hotkeys working after pushing 5 times.....        cans of Food not dissappearing in Hands  after eating!

[Dontstealmycheese 118]

I've played about 20 hours on the new 100 pop servers.  They run pretty well actually, the new netsend system is a pretty large fix! Also, as mentioned earlier it's a stress test if anything. But, aside from some inventory lag say when eating or drinking, and some other minor bugs I am sure they are well aware of. This is hands down my favorite version of the game that has existed yet. I have 700 hours in, and this version has brought me back playing again. :) I am sure we will get about 1-2 more weeks of updates on the EXP branch and then this will be brought live and it will be a great update! The 100 person servers are an absolute blast no matter what style of play you run with! If you run from the coast inland you will be meeting people doing the same and you will have that great DayZ feeling the entire time of play rather then when you are only by the coast. If you do hang by the coast you will start to run into more of a Gang type encounter. You will run into many random groups who just formed and have great distrust and randomness. I applaud the most minor updates to this games meta and/or end game. It only gets better folks.

[Carraig 23]

Because it's awesome. Except for the obvious lag it is the most awesome experience i had in a while in Dayz.

You do not seem to know what you're talking about. And if you don't I suggest not starting an argument, as it would end badly.

 

The experimentals have the new guaranteed messaging in the testing right now. And we have been playing on a server with 127 slots in the closed testing and it wasn't much worse than the 40 slots public servers. It's called experimental for a reason and it's currently being tested. Why don't you just embrace the fact that there are more people coming soon - and not necessarily with worse serverperformance.

[hombrecz 832]

Oh God, why are they experimenting on experimental servers?

WE ARE DOOMED.

+ Beans for great reply!

I just almost fell out my couch laughing on that one..

I can only say that negative, not constructive critisim will not bring you far. Even if, how you say, the devs are having fun with Coca and Ukrainian chicks, why are you still here? Are you some sort of a guy who goes on the street and yells something like "open your eyes people, listen to me, they are evil"

[aphex187 52]

Didn't Dean say months ago that he wanted the player count up to 250 players, or was i dreaming?

Holy shit please confirm this because that'd be so awesome :D

[DedicateDdos 50]

I'm going to be somewhat quoting Dean here : "wouldn't it be awesome if we could limit player count on server by design rather then technical capacity?" (not 100% true can't find his reddit post anymore)

 

In short, not being limited by the technical aspect is a lot more favorable, and opens up a lot more choices in the long run.
