itdontmatta 7192 Popular Post Share Posted January 3, 2022 Hi everyone, As I’m sure you all know, our attempt at the warclaim didn’t go as planned. We restarted numerous times, were missing multiple functionalities, and had poor communication in what was happening behind the scenes. I appreciate that you all remained patient and took the time out of your day to attend, and I apologize that the warclaim didn’t happen. This is probably the millionth failed warclaim apology that’s been given by an admin. We always promise that we’re going to find a better solution, but we truly believed that this was the solution. We applied everything we learned in the Oren-Norland warclaim and more. Network issue patches were applied, more RAM was allocated, and we DE-PEX’d all participating staff members. What were our problems? We didn’t have a priority roster plugin, some things went wrong with the plugin we couldn't catch in testing, and the roster numbers got leaked. I am sorry that all of this happened. It is completely on me for being unable to mitigate all of this. I will be holding myself accountable for the management of this warclaim, by ensuring the next warclaim is as good as it can get. I will also hold the person that leaked the numbers accountable, as no side should have concerns about the other knowing their rally size. We ultimately found that the scoreboard part of the plugin was the issue. It was updating every second, which gave everyone the appearance of a “slideshow” movement. It also prevented chunks from updating. Once we turned it off, the server ran smoothly. As I type this post, we are looking for a solution. We’re going to give this another shot on SOON(TM). I will make sure a priority roster system is implemented, and that the plugin is fully functioning. Thank you, - Itdontmatta, on behalf of the War and Moderation Team 90 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkWrath94 762 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Maybe instead of adding more plugins, reduce the amount, thats why the norland warclaim went so well, everything possible was disabled, no kits, no control points, just a field battle. 18 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan_Barnett36 1546 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Why not just do a straight field skirmish? 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elite Snipes 3542 Share Posted January 3, 2022 (edited) Respect goes out to Matta and 60th for owning up to their mistakes and putting in the effort to try and fix things, unlike other admins and staff. I think just doing a plain field battle without a "Points" system would work better and help with server performance.

Xarkly 12583 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Can we hold off on setting a day/time until both sides discuss? other than that thanks for your work appreciate it's not easy. 29 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Javert 5498 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Just do what we did during the Sutican Civil War and the Rozanian war, organize a skirm at the place of contest and see how it goes (In all seriousness thank you to the admin team for putting in as much work as you did for this Warzone, I am certain anyone with a braincell can see you guys worked hard) 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlemishSupremacy 4930 Share Posted January 3, 2022 It happens, and it's alright. Stuff like this couldn't really have been foreseen as you couldn't properly stresstest it as the test didn't have nearly the numbers we had today. A bit disappointed that we weren't allowed to just fight a bit after the warzone started working, I think that'd have been fun, but regardless. Also, good luck not sleeping for a week, alex :3 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imperium 3297 Share Posted January 3, 2022 I for one really enjoyed falling through the void gave me time to reflect. But jokes aside I know the staff are dealing with a lot, but maybe the best thing to do is make it less complex simple warclaims field battles and sieges as its worked for the entire lotc history. In any case thank you for the work you've put in so far and dealing with 300 players spamming you! 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnusualBrit 2050 Share Posted January 3, 2022 I just want to know whose idea it was to introduce those plugins and not just do an ordinary skirmish 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyNameIsMason 263 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Thank you for trying, others may disagree with me, but I would say this is an rp server and I would also say that pvp warclaims are something that shouldn't exactly be expected for the staff to pull off. I appreciate all the staff, and especially the ones that got a bunch of hate due to their attempts to make an enjoyable warclaim experience. ALso, thank you for keeping us up to date :) 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
