Load-testing the Closed Beta servers

game froze due to Bots!

Question: Are the bots artificially increasing the number of players reported online when using the /online command?

I don't know if you started today or not, but while doing a map we had constant desync (every 10 sec), and frequent peak of ping (above 1000 ms) every 30 sec
I'm playing frequently cross region and I've never had such a bad experience
Some people were complaining in chat, didn't think of it in town but when playing it was more than dangerous

good job

Hmm , this is kinda iffy to begin with. Testing the increased load is fine and all, but due to the already exsisting Desync that is quite heavy for some people, mild for others, but well reported by many, it would seem to me that it would only get worse, with heavier and heavier demands being put onto the servers.

I really do hope that these load tests are also being used as some form of data to assist in killing this Desync issue.

Either way , you know , i love this bloody game , but i have to admit , desyncing pisses me off something fierce, when it results in a death (in diff's that strip you of exp). Im sure the general non paying public that will arrive during OB, will not be so forgiving with their first imrpessions of stability.

Although some would argue - whatever , their playing for free ... well of course they are , as the game was advertised as Free to Play. Word of mouth , and bad experiences, can result in ... well, look at that other companies reputation now.

Cheers.

Possible. But I've seen a ton of new people around lately. Unfortunately, quite a few of them are, well, a pain in the ass.

You could have at least tried to make your post readable in some way. Writing every third word correctly would have probably been enough.

Leave the famous crasher alone.

Testing software before you release it? What a great idea! Love GGG, keep up the good work.
