What to expect of My.com

in General Discussion
Conquerors Blade was released a week ago and has been extremly laggy and there has been no information from my.com whatsoever.
I experianced the exact same thing in SKyforge.
That is what we can expect with Ashes of Creation here in Europe aswell.

    My.com has no interaction with the AoC host servers, and have no influence in the development of the game.
    They only physically host the servers, meaning that they get the server structure from IS and then set them up in one of their server farms i believe.

    This is an analysis/commentary LazyPeon did last year at the height of the My.com AOC hysteria. Give it a watch. It may help you with your anxiety.

    My observation was quite the opposite. Are you on NA or EU?

    As an EU player CB launch was really smooth for me, could be because the game is not THAT popular. Sometimes servers went down for a maintenance, normally, and then came up. Other than that, I don't remember any negativeness from my.com's side on the game. I play 1-2 hour on the evenings and I don't remember lagging at all.

    During Beta they even admitted that their servers couldn't hold and they were going to go for an upgrade. So it's not like they're in a mess and avoiding to talk about it, too.

    I've had no issue with my.com thus far being an EU user nor did I ever have issues with the company prior to ashes. I say we wait and see if they mess things up, though I doubt it

    My.com sounds like they love money so I do not see them messing this up, because I bet steven would either find someone else or setup his own host of servers there if he really needed to.

    I mean, do we really think Steven would put his baby in the hands of someone he was positive wouldn't be good stewards of his vision?

    What evidence do we have that would tell us he would?

    I think it will be fine.

    And now the servers are down, without any notice, or any information on whats going on.
    The last 3 days, siege battles have had 30+ seconds delay.
    Thoguht they would have improved since Skyforge, apperantly not.

    You do realize that the servers have been down for months until further notice, right?

    Make sure to check discord for any additional information in regards to the matter. They always post updates about the BR on there

    Yes CB servers are down

    This pretty much sums up problems with My.com
    Main problems are things that my.com will have control of in AoC aswell.

    There are alot of companies they could have chosen, but they had to choose the worst one.

    When this was first brought up Steven mentioned that he had spoken with many publishers for EU/RU and My.com was the only one that agreed to Steven's demands and were ok with not having any creative control over the game. And if you have a problem playing on My.com server and are ok with higher ping the game wont be region locked so you could still play on the NA servers.

    Yea, depending on how important ping is for "hit detection" and such, that might be what me and my friends will do

    Only time will tell with my.com a lot of people are very sceptical about it and others just feel let down that Intrepid are not self publishing. Personally after the reassurances we have been given by Steven I am more comfortable. However I am starting to become more concerned with the account transfers, what information is being shared with my.com from my Intrepid account, and lack of any update about my.com this year.

    IF nothing else, as a filthy Euro myself, it would be better to play on a US server with latency than a poorly ran EU server hosted by the Russians.
    Only time will tell honestly, they could turn around and actually bother to do a decent job with Ashes.

    Dude @lufia please tell me which server you play on. You post on June 7 talking about lags, where i played the game for 2 hours without any lags on the same day, at prime time.

    Either I am extremely lucky or you have bad connection? Are there other people like you who are lagging?

    Just wanted to update, after playing a bit more today I can agree that the lag is very bad in sieges.

    My.com servers are absolutly horrible.
    Every time on prime playingtime the games starts lagging like hell.
    And thats for every game.
    The game has been down every day for the last 4 days during peak time, and the rest of the time there is constant lagg.
    It was exactly the same when i played Skyforge 4-5 years ago.
    No information whatsoever from my.com ofcourse.
    It would have been better to serverhost the game in Netherlands, Germany or Scandinavia where the infrastructure is the best in the world and the companies actually use good servers.

    @lufia
    IS already stated, that my.com wont provide the servers... (i also wrote that in an earlier comment)
    My.com will ONLY HOST THE GIVEN SERVERS. Meaning that they wont have anything to do with the server architecture. They provide the hardware and location only.
