How can you watch those videos and not see a problem with what he is saying? If they promise to collapse them down a few weeks in what happens to high pop servers? They will be in even more trouble than they would be on launch because there is severe server instability a few weeks in. So they either keep layering longer or the servers are even worse off than launching with no layering.
If they were set on promising this they would say a specific date instead of “a few weeks” or “by the end of phase 1”. They fail to address how they are handling this on a high pop server too where they simply can’t collapse it like they intend to.
Additional knowledge that 90% of the issues in those videos have already been fixed? Awareness that this will last no longer than a few weeks and then be forgotten in the grand scheme of things?
That’s been covered numerous times both in this thread and every other one. It’s both an unrealistic expectation that planning for would disrupt planning for the realistic cases, AND they have plenty of existing solutions to smooth out any slightly higher servers.
Just ask people on Blackrock how they handled high populations…
I’m pretty sure I asked if you had any more counterpoints against my undermining of your arguments, to which you neglected to reply for the second time.
I’ve already undermined all of your points, but since you ignored it to repeat the same arguments over and over, there’s no point repeating the same responses over and over.
Nobody is saying you can’t be in favor of layering - if you think layering is less bad than no layering, fine, you’re entitled to that opinion.
I disagree with it, but it’s a valid opinion to have.
To actually try and ARGUE that it is “factually” better, and acting as if your trashy arguments are in fact undeniable truth, is a different matter altogether.
People raise valid concerns about Layering, and it just strikes me as very laughable that people try to swipe them under the rug with arguments that can JUST AS EASILY be used against layering. It’s ludicrous.
I could not agree with you more on this. The problem is that the side that wants to boycott and open a million threads instead of supporting a thread that is already going seem to not feel the same way.
Some are simply not willing to entertain the viewpoint of the other and even resort to name-calling or worst claiming that those who do not agree with them should go play BFA. It’s not productive in the least.
I don’t think you even read what I was talking about. The videos are the Ion ones talking about layering and they certainly haven’t addressed how they will handle high pop servers that don’t go down within a few weeks. I think you are assuming I’m talking about the exploit videos which I am not.
You can clearly see from my achievements that i did play vanilla. Obviously my reference to painful leveling times is about new server openings and i specifically use the word tangible because it exactly describes the element lost when layering is introduced.
I appreciate how passionate you are about your own opinion, but your self-righteousness is painfully toxic.
They don’t even need to do that. They can just use Layering differently. Rather than allowing people to hop between layers every time they group or login, disallow any movement at character creation and then merge as necessary later once the tourists leave. Some servers will likely have multiple layers permanently.
