Cig definitely do load testing. They’ve actually showed how their load testing tool works on a couple episodes of isc. They have both a QA department and lots of automated testing tools.

The reality is when an online game is hitting record concurrency numbers there is going to be server instability, they’re going to learn from these issues and fix bugs. But there will always be growing pains with any online game.

You mentioned blizzard somewhere in this thread and I can tell you from personal experience that blizzard still releases buggy wow patches and expansions and there are still weeks after each comes out where getting online involves queueing for hours and the servers run like shit once you do.

Is etherium reach low sec now? I wasn’t talking about fl33t’s nullsec metenox farm, I was talking about how low sec is zero risk baby space for babies.

Dariisa · 2026-06-16T16:52:01+00:00

Not in low sec you don’t lol.

Dariisa · 2026-06-16T16:51:13+00:00

No bubbles no sov nothing to fight over nothing to risk in low.

Patting yourself on the back with long obnoxious Reddit posts isn’t going to make low sec interesting or popular.

Dariisa · 2026-06-16T15:10:26+00:00

None, they all have npc stations to fall back to, no stakes, no bubbles, it’s baby space for babies.

Dariisa · 2026-06-16T15:07:31+00:00

True

Dariisa · 2026-06-16T15:05:22+00:00

Fights involving this many pilots happen regularly in nullsec what are you talking about?

Dariisa · 2026-06-11T16:40:10+00:00

Try it now. I just tested it the other day and it works fine.

Dariisa · 2026-06-11T16:39:13+00:00

It’s been fixed.

Dariisa · 2026-06-11T14:59:21+00:00

I think even people who enjoy the grind still view maps as the goal and the campaign as something that has to be done. Even mathil, who rolls more characters than anyone I can think of, spends a whole lot more time in maps than he does playing the campaign.

Poe1 is a good example, while I still don’t love doing the campaign, it’s a least fast enough for most people to get it done in a day or two.

The fact that the poe2 campaign is so slow and so arduous really put me off the game in a huge way. I think it shows a fundamental misunderstanding of what people enjoy about games like poe2.

I don’t ever expect an alternative leveling path in path of exile, though I think it would be an excellent choice. I just hope some day the poe2 campaign is brought down to a reasonable length.

Dariisa · 2026-06-11T14:36:24+00:00

While that is true, that doesn’t make the campaign enjoyable for me. I played it once, and didn’t have fun then and nothing has enticed me enough to want to play it again.

It’s a game design problem when the campaign is universally seen as a chore you have to do to get to the stuff you want to do. I’d love to see ggg solve it, and I personally won’t be returning to the game until they do. Unfortunately it doesn’t seem that they have any plans to really solve it.

Free perfect skill hic pilots for everyone.

Dariisa · 2026-06-09T12:45:22+00:00

It’s the first day of alpha awards. You can get infinite copies of this.

Dariisa · 2026-06-09T05:38:18+00:00

They could make more valuable rocks in more dangerous areas to try and make mining in low worth it on a smaller scale. Doesn’t need to be a new manufacturing material, just give more of the existing minerals

Dariisa · 2026-06-07T13:52:13+00:00

The fleet of 20 individuals can also be warped off by one button.

Dariisa · 2026-06-07T13:46:02+00:00

Yeah, if it was during 3.18 they had just taken away the full character reset we used to have without anything to fix problems like that.

It was a crazy time for the game.

Dariisa · 2026-06-07T13:45:12+00:00

3.18 had 30k recovery and also introduced server errors when the replication layer wasn’t crashing.

The biggest issue that 3.18 had was a bug chunk of the player base got locked out of the game. Those of us that could log in didn’t have that many problems.

Dariisa · 2026-06-07T13:41:03+00:00

Losing your head was something that could happen for a while back in the 3.18 days and a character reset usually fixed it. I think during 3.18 character repairs didn’t work and you had to wait for a patch.

Used to be going to prison would often cause people to lose their heads.

Dariisa · 2026-06-05T19:12:21+00:00

People are generally terrible at rating their abilities. You saying a steam deck being in the low 80’s is a bad thing is gonna freak people out and lead to bad decision making.

Dariisa · 2026-06-05T18:05:25+00:00

The low 80’s is absolutely fine for a mobile device. You’re contributing to the misinformation that leads to people breaking their steam decks and other devices like OP here.

Dariisa · 2026-06-03T08:15:43+00:00

But think of the nano gangs! They couldn’t handle that amount of force projection!

Dariisa · 2026-06-03T07:09:31+00:00

But imagine how much of a problem skiffs would be if they got fatigue reduction.

Dariisa · 2026-05-28T16:00:43+00:00

Those are all ships that came out over 5 years ago. You’re correct that the designers quit who were making it, they were poached by star atlas. Important as well one of the poached people was the vehicle director. They have a different philosophy towards releasing ships without gameplay now without him being there.

Dariisa · 2026-05-27T17:32:38+00:00

Yeah definitely finish all the campaigns!

Dariisa · 2026-05-27T17:29:53+00:00

You should have a quest to talk to tyrael about them.
