Lags & Fighting

[displaced]

Basically it's only happening when there are 1000+ people online. Below that, this is almost not a problem..
But it's really annoying because fighting is all about timing (or OPness) but if you rely on timing because you don't have a ton of points in UC/MC than there's a need for a solution...

Preferably not killing players so they leave lol...

Maybe there should / can be a priority queue for fighting or something...

Excellent idea.
When there is a fight going on between players. kick all other unrelated players out of the server!

i already figured this was gonna happen. stabilizing the server so it can handle 1500+ people should be the priority tbh.

I somewhat agree with this.
I am sure that some players are going to quit because of the lag. (Which will of course fix the lag, but decrease playercount)

To make that clear...

This is a simplyfied version of how the server _could_ handle incoming traffic

Code: Select all

while running
  read incoming stream
  analyse stream and put into a list of commands

  check if commandlist contains fighting elements
  do fighting first
  do rest
end while

Again, this is a VERY simplfied version... there's normally much more complexity to it.

This would probably worsen the lag for movement or other stuff but it would possibly not fuck up your life while in combat

step 1 get a frog
step 2 fight a frog
step 3 profit from better connection while doing anything but combat
