A lot has changed for DDO on both the codebase and the hardware since 2012 so using performance metrics and information from that era as the measuring stick in 2018 wouldn't seem to be very valid.

How many entirely new in-game systems have they added since then?  How many updates and changes have they made to existing code from that time?  Ditto for the hardware.  It was physical hardware back then and it's apparently a VM environment now.  Remember that 3-month long lagfest after the datacenter migration?

And he's right to some extent.  Currently on Ghallanda at least, it becomes pretty obvious when SSG hasn't restarted the world servers because the lag just keeps getting worse and worse, especially during primetime hours.  It is bad enough at times that it most definitely causes otherwise preventable deaths, wipes, etc. which interfere with missions and raids. 

DDO lags like a mofo sometimes while everything else running through my inet connection works just fine.  ICMP, traceroutes, bandwidth tests, etc.  I've heard rumors that Ghallanda lags more for *reasons*, but since SSG hates their customers and refuses to provide any sort of transparency, I can only assume they're full of shit  based on their track record and that it is due to G-land having one of the larger primetime populations combined with a trainwreck of a codebase.  Small inefficiencies in code become much larger ones as you increase the usage load on them.

Well, to quote them:

"stackable arrows/ammunition no longer disappear from TR cache, and to our knowledge, other items were unaffected by TR disappearance, coz our data pulled out of our asses is more reliable than data from players, long story short, TR cache will stay as it is, enjoy the game, and have an intercourse with your mother ,|, " - With love, Devs.

What we really need is devs that know how to play the game at a high level of proficiency so that they can make intelligent design decisions instead of the monkeys banging on a keyboard and hoping they get lucky method we currently have.

I'd expect them to at least know that you cast Resurrection on the player's toon (ghost) instead of on the Soulstone.

(Yeah, that may have been a little unfair as Ciccolini had just gotten done with being the AC Producer...but still resurrecting party members is a VERY basic part of the game)

Well if the player wasn't moving when he died, and didn't move after dying, technically where his soulstone is where he is....

But I'm just being the Devil's Advocate and Nitpicking because this only happens in some wet dreams nowadays.

He's probably still never played not in god mode.

That was mentioned several times in several different threads.  A lot of alternate ideas were presented.  They were easy to miss  amid the tears.

5 feats.  But, you would only need to fix 3 enchantments.

Also only one feat, that gets applied 5 times, so all it took was probably 10 seconds for steel to cut out the 2.5 weapon die, cut in the +1 to hit, and took another sip of his pumpkin spice latte.

In the absence of a real combat log?  Sure.  Just realize that you're asking for a bandaid rather than a cure.
