About Dungeons Mechanics, Lag, And Dxp Weekend On The Current State Of Wynncraft

Wynncraft, since 1.16 Corkus update and youtubers making LPs, has been trying to implement new mechanics to quests and dungeons, something that I personally find amazing. If you look back at Gavel quests and revamped quests and the new corrupted dungeons, you can clearly see a line to where things started to get a lot better.

But, sometimes, even wynncraft makes "mistakes", like dungeon farming and the xp given, a problem not fixed since CSST was a huge deal, idk if it is cuz it generates money or what, but since there are other ways to lvl up, i dont rlly bother with them leaving dungeons the way it is. What bothers me is that some corrupted dungeons try to make cool features that, even if they are actually fun and well done, is unachievable to a big part of the community. Stuff like CUC boat part and, even more controversial, the CUR parkour can literally be unplayable to some players on a laggy day, and with all the ppl i've talked, at least 1/5 says CUR parkour is cancer.

Before 1.19, you'd said that they were probably never removing content out of the game, but guess what, the EO parkour, literally a parkour with no mechanics, just pressing space, got 25% removed and reviewed after launch, while stuff like CUR parkour is still a thing that still didn't get reviewed for a possible change.

That wouldn't have been a problem for me, of course, since i can just skip dungeons, but since there are items locked behind dungeons with unplayable mechanics, it sucks, A LOT. But the point of this thread isn't to make another way to get those items, but rather to think about what is going on with wynncraft.

Lets go to where it all started then. Since 1.19 launched and youtubers, like big boi Grian advertised wynncraft, it has been a complete shit show on weekends, and now with the first dxp since 1.19, because of course, what could've gone wrong, it has been proven that wynncraft IS NOT capable of handling over 1.5k ppl. I don't want to be that asshole saying "jUsT PrEss tHe uPgRaDE SeRvEr bUttON lOLoLOl", but with all the money that scuffed ass dungeon system generates, having an unplayable server for 2 days is literally a joke. I know this is going to be a controversial opinion but, DXP weekends on a server that isn't ready should never happen, and thats a fact, cuz even tho a lot of ppl, like myself, who stacked 4xp and got 10 lvls in 10 minutes were happy, after like 7 hours, the server became literally unplayable.

To finish this thread, i just want to make things clear, this isn't a hate thread on any of the staff or what they do with their money, just a suggestion that mechanics that ppl complain a lot should be reviewed and the server cant hold its own playerbase.

 

Uhh, the first day of DXP weekend seemed like a walk in the park, I was playing on the EU servers just fine, today it was fine but then I AFK'd and upon returning, found myself kicked and when I tried rejoining EU, it just wouldn't work, it was like that for a few hours, since then the first EU server has appeared, but the EU IP doesn't work, also problems like these are rather rare, I remember when the server had a whopping 2k players and it still was somewhat bearable, it was just fps that was kinda hard. Also even Hypixel has issues like these, one time Hypixel's Housing jumbled a bunch of very important code for the server, and Wynncraft's EU servers just went down despite the amount of players not being as large as update launches, Jumla must've spilled her coffee again (bet ya haven't heard that one in ages)

 

As i said in the thread, since 1.19 and advertisement, every weekend wynncraft have a shit ton of lag, but you can definetly tank it. This weekend tho, the first dxp since 1.19, a lot of ppl is agreeing that the server is unplayable, so i wouldn't call it a rare thing.
Idk if its true too, but i heard some ppl saying that since 1.19, servers are staying up for around 6-8 hours, in comparison to the 3-4 that it used to be, so more players and longer servers isn't rlly the best recipe.

 

This is true mostly. I learned sort of recently that bombs extend a server's life by somewhere around half an hour or so I think and as a result of all the advertising, sales and new update people have been throwing a lot more bombs

 

But as I said the first day of DXP and the few hours of today seemed rather calm, but then the EU servers just got demolished without any apparent reason, so something must've happened behind the scenes, to say this is just a coincidence is unlikely, and this is the first time EU servers were 100% shut down, I remember when EU servers were like really laggy once but they did NOT shut down, also speaking of EU servers, they're mostly a life-saver as they heavily decrease latency and make it so Europeans can actually play the game, but the EU servers have a max of 8, while the US servers can reach a full page of servers and even start a second page, so maybe they should decrease the max of the US servers. Also, I believe at like 1.17 they halved server capacities, it was 100 (or was it 90 or 80?) before, then brought down to 70, then to 60, and now 50. I'm not sure if more servers would cause lag or more players per server, but only the moderators know this.

________________________________

While Wynncraft getting recognition is good, they need to up their server handling, while EU servers were a big upgrade, that only helps a certain portion, also even though Wynncraft has a constant flow of money, I've seen that running servers can be rather costly

 

I get what ur saying, but in my experience and some ppl that i know, since dxp was announced at night in most places, thats why it was rather calm, and EU died today i think, not yesterday, so it was already lagging before.
I'm not an expert at all, but maybe more servers that lasts a lots less than the current ones would probably be the best option. Client-side lootchests were proven to be possible to implement too iirc, so there is no reason for a server to last that much.

 

Never really said that EU died yesterday but that doesn't matter, also I was talking about server capacity and server count, not about server length, I was wondering why they decreased server capacity, and whether server capacity or server count would cause more or less lag.

 

It wasn’t a walk in the park at all; there was like full second delays between melee attacks being clicked and registered at times

 

Yes, at times, otherwise not horrible considering other cases

 

No, it was all that until like two AM EST, and even then there were some pretty bad lag spikes

 

It was 9AM where I lived at that time when I woke up so I guess I lucked out on that one

 

The servers have been really bad lately, not just on weekends. I've had exceptionally bad lag spikes and near unplayability most days for around two weeks now. I'm not sure what it is, but it's been really bad.

 

I literally can't even enter worlds any more, I was fine earlier but it took ages. Now it doesn't work at all.

 

I live in EU, so those servers are better for me lag-wise, but more often than not, prof party’s and CUR’s are hosted on the NA servers, so I have to go there.

Normally this isn’t a big issue, since I only lag a TINY bit there even on weekends, but this weekend was something else. I was fine as long as I was standing still, but as soon as I was moving around alot, i literally couldn’t cast a single spell, because of the lag. I actually died because of this while I’m Hunted mode (for that sweet gathering xp bonus) and lost my leggings. I wasn’t salty about that since I hadn’t powdered them and they were only rare, but just thinking about losing my good Mementos made me a little scared, so I turned off Hunted mode for the time being.

I think dxp weekends are good in of them self’s, but it’s just unplayable, when it’s like it was this weekend.

 

Wear untradables when in Hunted mode

 

Do developers knows about this massive lag? The Servers were fine for me until double xp weekend pop up. Now I can't play

I hope they are trying to solve it somehow because I want to play Wynncraft, but with these lags, It's impossible to play for me.

 

A Human said that they're working on it

 

soontm

lmao

 

the server is nearing 7 years old, and as you know that is when servers usually hit puberty, since they age twice as fast as humans.

the server keeps on screaming at the ct that they're not going through a phase while also demanding money to buy the latest air jordans. its kinda annoying but the ct is working day and night to make sure this gets fixed, dont worry.

 

The CT is the powerhouse of the server


Technically, money would be more accurate
