Distension before TWL?

[kthx]

Ok so apparently the hours have changed again, and some genius thought it would be a good idea to host distension literally an hour before TWL starts on Sunday. I think before TWL time should be reserved for javelin hosted events, warbird hosted events, basing hosted events, as well as wbduel, dd's, jd's javduel, basing, and bd's. I am very very against having Distension anywhere CLOSE to a twl slot.

dist should be hosted AFTER twl when all the ppl go afk n /wrists instead of before when twd arenas are filled up with games.

I lol'd at this
did you mean cry a bigger river, that river isn't wide enough?
or..
cry a bigger lake, that lake isn't big enough?


ps. Distension is retarded and requires no skill whatsoever. It's another one of those games in which whoever is a bigger nerd will be the best.
pps. Get rid of it.

Well I'd much rather see TWD arenas packed with activity, players actually showing support for their TWL squad by getting TWD's as practice before their TWL match instead of minding their own thing in distension. I would see it as a better atmosphere to play competitively in rather than having players all packed up in distension, dragging their feet along to get to their TWL game. But this is only what I desire, and not all players wish to play TWD before their TWL matches. Some players might not even be in a participating TWL squad, so it hardly affects them.

The point which bothers me a little bit is that qan has affirmed certain instances where server/biller lag problems as well as full recycles are caused by Distension. Seeing as how distension still has bugs (kinda in a public beta phase currently) I would be quite disheartened and so would many other competitive TWL participants if there were any additional lag strain caused to the server before an important TWL match which can be resolved by just not playing it at that particular time slot for that one day. Its an event, just like any other in Trench Wars. Our staff have decided, and still stand strongly, that TWL is the highest level of competitiveness in our zone. If we are to maintain this outlook, then we should be a little bit more responsible with events such as these that have caused known problems. There are 7 days in a week. 5 of these days 10+ hours was the original schedule. It has since been up'd twice now in 3 days. Eventually distension will get its 24/7 run-time, but with a drastically decreased player capacity and arena capacity. As it stands, with too many players in there, it poses a real concern for server stability, and should be treated as one.

2 hours after the last TWL game ends is also off limits for weekend events and other special events.

Yeah, dumb idea to do Distension before TWL. Do it after.

It has since been up'd twice now in 3 days.

If you do the math. The schedule has been SLASHED over half from the previous one 55 hours. AND the one before that was very similar in length. its much less than was before all this started happening. We now have it hosted 26 hours a week MAXIMUM.

AND if you noticed on www.trenchwars.org, I did add a little asterick. We may not host it as I have posted. We have 4 Distension days before Sunday to see if Distension continues to cause server crashes.

So lets be patient. Lets be logical about this. And remember... The distensionites have given up over 50% of their fun for the zone. The least the zone can do for them is let them play when it IS the time.

I'm almost certain that it still causes recycles- the only time I ever see that message whilst returning from afk is a time when it has been running. It's not meant to sound biased but there's fairly clear evidence it's the cause.

hate the fake can you please not quote entire posts and say 'i agree' it's possibly the least useful thing you could do and considering i'm talking about you that's quite something

I agree with not having Distension running before TWL because of the possible link with packetloss etc., but I also think that a schedule that has been argued over (and screwing sizeable portions of the Distension-playing populace) for this long should actually be stuck to occasionally?

[Zizzo]

yea dont host it before twl
