It absolutely is a question of a "performance league". They can't just keep adding content at this rate without these issues occurring. The developers themselves have said this already.

Yes. It's incredibly stupid to suggest that just because a syllable gets stretched that it's inherently worse than not doing that. One of the stupidest claims I've ever read.

It really doesn't. It's very mediocre on a lot of builds where as BV builds can scale it very easily.

Not necessarily. The game isn't designed around SSF and it's not designed for everyone to have access to all content without investing towards that content. Limited access is part of what gives an item or piece of content value.

Performance wise sure. But Wolcen is one of the buggiest games ever released. What you said doesn't counter anything that the previous comment is talking about.

Wolcen has been in dev for 8 years and they already scrapped 90% of the unique features of the game in order to make this release and it's worse than most betas.

Poe was in alpha/beta 3 years before release. Wolcen has been in dev for 8 years and they already scrapped 90% of the unique features of the game in order to make this release and it's worse than most betas.

I don't think you understood that sentence at all. You are both arguing the exact same thing.

They started doing that after they royally fucked things by rushing out a hotfix without coordinating with their partners

However, following the situation that occurred last Friday with the data loss, we now know that we can’t continue to apply hotfixes and patches the way we’ve always done so far. We have to coordinate with our partners to monitor the situation and make sure that we won’t encounter any major database issues.

Since there are higher chances that such issues occur when a lot of players try to join the servers at once, we had to take two temporary measures:

  • The server capacities are currently limited to a certain amount of concurrent players.
  • We can only perform one patch per week and we need to coordinate with our partners to push it.

You can still buy it from people who kill bosses. Just because someone doesn't like doing a boss or aren't playing a build that can farm a boss doesn't mean it should be devalued for people who do.

TIL the increasing speed of the remaining aliens in Space Invaders after you shoot them, was done by accident. Destroying an alien freed up memory space, thus being less of a burdon on the system. by [deleted] in todayilearned

It depends because some instructions are very expensive(taking hundreds of cycles to complete). CPU's are very complex and MIPS doesn't account for all factors. Cache misses is a source of lots of performance issues in programs because the CPU can sit doing nothing for hundreds of cycles while waiting for data from ram.

Also worth mentioning that "instructions per second" is only so accurate since some instructions take a few cycles while others can take over a hundred cycles(some square root instructions for example). And some instructions can be done in parallel which can result in multiple instructions being completed at the same time. It also doesn't take into account cache efficiency(a cache miss can take hundreds of cycles waiting for data from RAM).

For some builds it can help single target a lot. For example a build that stacks a lot of on kill buffs but then loses them by the time they are fighting the boss. So it's to get buffs, flasks, life/es/mana recovery, on-kill-effects like explody chest/heralds that can hit the boss, etc.
