DDO Players News Episode 76 One Edition To Rule Them All

*NOTE* We had some issues with recording the show this week, the first minute of the show is very loud, I tried to adjust the volume, but could not do much with it. We had to record the show in a different way this week.

We talk about the lag that his hit the game since the data center move, Curse Of Strahd is here! We review it, and Middle-earth comes to 5E!

Lag After Data Center Move

3-18-2016

Severlin

So this morning we did optimization work to clean up network pathing problems and open up new network paths that should have alleviate, if not solve, lag related to network pathing. Thank you for all the trace routes. At this point we will be watching tonight to see who is improved, who isn’t, and whether or not there is still lag that is related to server performance rather than network pathing.

Today

Cordovan

Heya folks. We’re actively investigating several things, and will have more information as soon as we can. Been working this morning to check in with folks. We should have more to say moderately soon. Progress is being made!

Argonnessen/Thelanis World Restart: Monday, March 21st 3:00 PM Eastern

Cordovan

We will be bringing down Argonnessen and Thelanis at 3:00 PM Eastern (-5 GMT) today, Monday, March 21st, for diagnostic testing and maintenance work. We will keep you updated.

Argo and Thelanis are now open. We made some adjustments to these two worlds that we will be keeping an eye on over the next 24 hours.

Cocomajobo *QA TEAM*

Are you seeing lag as often as you were before?

When you do encounter lag, how long does it last?

When you do encounter lag, is it affecting everyone in your party?

Do enemies still appear to be pathing strangely (specifically: walking off of ledges)?

Those types of things are useful. Thank you in advance for any insight you can provide.

Cordovan

Heads up: We will be restarting Ghallanda at 6:30 PM Eastern (-5 GMT) for maintenance and to put in place the same monitoring we have on Argo and Thelanis at the moment. We’ve been getting a moderate number of lag reports from Ghallanda specifically today, so we want to take the world down for 60-90 minutes to make some adjustments and see what kind of impact it has.
