FFS, merge some goddamned servers.

[Julian]

If they do go that route, they better leave Odin alone. Odin did not need the additional people last time they did it, and it definitely doesn't need it now.

Either that or fix all congestion issues and stop releasing content that will have congestion issues.

[Draylo]

Either that or fix all congestion issues and stop releasing content that will have congestion issues.

This, it should be done before a server merge or it will be messy.

[Anomie]

I'm more than good, actually. But you won't hurt my feelings.

Wouldn't say I'm a "player" though tbh. It certainly is more like a "worker" and I hate inefficiency and stupidity. Terrible mindset for an mmo, which encourages inefficiency and is nothing but a ball of stupidity.

It's neither here, nor there. Just simple truth, our community is shit.

And they're never going to merge, may as well get that hopefulness out of your heads.

As long as it still LOOKS LIKE 2000 people log on to each server daily to collect their freeshitgiveaway log-in 179th edition, it's NOT going to happen.

[NynJa]

Dont need a server merge.

[Damane]

Dont need a server merge.

The EU playerbase would like to disagree with you.

[NynJa]

The EU playerbase would like to disagree with you.

Sounds like an EU problem more than anything else.

[Damane]

Sounds like an EU problem more than anything else.

well for you yes, for EU players not, our playerbase is going down alot and its becomeing worse because there is noone left to play :/. The idea of moveing on to something else, because there is only a handfull of people left to play with has crossed several EU peoples mind, but considering how small the EU population is i doubt it would hurt the game much.

[NynJa]

So merge servers so the 75 EU players per server can bump to 150, and the 400 NA players can bump to 800 and the 1000 JP players can bump to 2000.

[Seha]

Yes.

[dasva]

So Priwen triples blockrate under reprisal what

[Prothescar]

so... 200% increase, not 100%. That's quite a fucking difference Matsui holy shit

do we have any parse data to confirm that yet? 200% of a kite shield's block rate would be licking the edge of 100% block rate

[dasva]

Martel was doing some but the data looked a little weird.

As far as capped it will depend on level. But based on other data from martel with killedar with capped shield merits priwen's base block rate should be around 30% on level 126 mobs so yeah should even be able to hit 100% on them with some shield skill gear like say on reforged feet

[PSOfanatic]

Really wish they'd just go ahead and merge servers. Wouldn't it save them money in the long run? Less servers to maintain. Then again...probably doesn't cost them a thing to run these archaic servers.

[detlef]

If they merged servers, the JP would be up in arms. Nobody cares about EU players.

[Martel]

so... 200% increase, not 100%. That's quite a fucking difference Matsui holy shit

109 mobs. Priwen.

54.37% block rate.
Reprisal up: 98.44%.

I don't seem to be getting even x2 block rate, much less x3. But the possibility exists that my data gathering methods are imperfect. Reprisal's a pain in the ass.

This particular sample was small, cause Priwen kills the mobs so fast. 1774 blocks and 28 non-blocks. If the log parser was even a little off, and grabbed a few non reprisal hits, it could account for those non blocks.

[NynJa]

Yes.

So for every 1475 players, 75 of them need a merge (the EU base), 200 "want" a merge (half the NA population, and this may be stretching excessively) and 1200 dont want a merge. Do something to satisfy 5% of the playerbases demands and desires of 13% of the playerbase, and piss off the other 72% of the playerbase, who are already fed up with congestion issues.

I think the better option would be to find the two servers with the highest activity during EU playtime, and open free transfers to those servers for EU players.

[Priran]

so... 200% increase, not 100%. That's quite a fucking difference Matsui holy shit

JP community reps said it was:
Reprisal's effect on block rate = 200% (up from 150%)
Reprisal spike damage +50%

リアクト中の盾発動率＋200%
※「リアクト」を使うと盾発動率が通常1.5倍になるところを、この盾は2倍にします。
リアクトによる反撃ダメージ＋50%

What he's saying in the second line (because yes, it is confusing that he put +200%) is clarifying that with Reprisal, Priwen will get 2x blockrate instead of 1.5x

[Gannon]

What really should happen instead of merges is shutting down one or two servers with extremely low population and give the players from those servers a choice out of the other low population servers to go to.

[scaevola]

As a first step, we are thinking of allowing you to call Trusts while in a party, and even taking them into battlefields, in which case you would not have to satisfy the complete 6-man requirement, and practice content on lower difficulty settings. We also receive feedback about how it is impractical to practice content when the entry cost is so high, so we are discussing slowly lowering the cost of admission of events over time after their introduction.

Trusts showing up in battlefields was probably inevitable but I'm kind of surprised he's already talking about it.
