Nope I even stated if he disliked it after experiencing it.I would hold his opinion as valid.

That's because Diablo 3 worked by the second day for most people.
Also, did you guys know that the SimCity servers are actually a single EC2 server in Ireland running 8 instances? And when they brought up more servers yesterday, it was just them adding 7 more instances.

Some free game to compensate this shit, but no word of what you will be able to chose.

And most people are getting in and playing fine now. so its par for par with diablo when comparing them
And simcity does have more than one server, they are separate entities, with seperate IP's and traceroutes in different locations..why one could be full and slow as hell, why the others you could log into and play lag free...where did you get it was one server?

Someone was tinkering with the server stuff on another forum. They found this:
"1) Each "server" is a collection of 8 amazon ec2 instances in EU-WEST-1... Yes, even the NA servers are hosted in Ireland
2) Each frontend server runs java as the server application and uses jetty. They all run surprisingly well even being "down" meaning that
3) Likely each "pool" has 1 database backend server, that is horribly beaten to shit."

But that still implies each selection is its own server cluster..that CLUSTER may be linked to its own single back end.
But each cluster has a separate single backend for it.
A virtual cluster does not imply its all ran on singular hardware.
So each instance of a server options links to an individual, unrelated in hardware terms, server cluster.

Yes yes..hello pot, I am kettle!
Again if you dont like it..good for you.
But QUIT insulting people that do. its just makes you look like a self centered, unsure twat.
well maybe you are..but quit pointing it out to us then
I mean, really...again what do you expect to achieve by telling people that like it, yo quit liking it? What is your point you are making...other than "I personally don't like the game" we got that, you hate it, you really really, with ever fiber of your insecure being hate.
What else is there to do? other than insult those that do? and what good does that do? other than make you feel smug for not liking it?
As I said before, I still challenge you to tell us what your point is of CONSTANTLY telling us how much you dislike it...are you unsure if we get that point? |
He's attacking the game, and arguing your none nonexistent arguments, not you as a person. Why are you sinking to personal attacks?
And why do people write over and over how wrong EA's buisness practice is? And asking people to please reconsider before you buy the game?
Let me tell you what I think..
Because we care about the gaming industry, because we do not want big companies to get away with shit like this - its a VERY worrying trend that needs to STOP right now. I want people to stand up and don't bend over and accept everything that get thrown at them. I know its kinda hopeless but it still won't stop me. And now my grasp of the English language fails me and I sound like a dumb white knight but I hope you understand.
There are soooooo many good games out there, there are no reason to spend time with these kind of games in my opinion. There are plenty of other good games made by respectful and upstanding developers out there.
I think that is why people won't back down, and won't accept this behavior from ea. At least its what I think.

Hes not resorting to personal attacks? telling someone to stop doing coke before posting isnt 'personal'?
hes attacking the peoples character that like the game, more than the game...go back and read ALL the posts that was replies to people. its about the people saying they like the game being idiots, and they must work for EA..
AND Im ALL For people boycotting this game if they want to. Go for, Ill even suggest picket sign content. But all hes doing is coming in, finding post of people that like it and going "SCREW YOU! your an idiot for liking it, I will again point out I dislike it, as a fact! and you liking it means you are a retard"
which he has stated, in those words, pretty much over and over.
If you want to defend him disliking the game, I support you. But if you want to defend him insulting people that commit to personally liking it. then you are on your own.

Have as little intersections as possible (or as little red lights, medium roads use stops signs). Its works a bit like real life. You can have a 8 lane road for all kinda of traffic, if they have to stop every 100 feet at an intersection it will slow down and 'chain link' slowly down the whole avenue.
Also spread out your zones and mix them inside each other a bit. Clumping them all into separate areas, means all the Sims in one, will all fight to drive across the map to the same other area.
For example a HUGE residential only area, on the other side of a HUGE commercial area..means every one of those will all fight to take the quickest way to shop/work/whatever they need over there.Make multiple options for sims in different directions, roughly as convinent to get to as each other. Like I always make a spot or 2 of commercial inside each for my residential 'clumps'. I picture it as the gas stations, little stores, strip mails you find all around neighborhoods.
That servers a LOT of them for commercial need, and they can walk to it usually. No traffic jams of them all trying to going to the only 'walmart' across town, after making an earlier traffic jam of coming from work to home.
The sims do act a bit like life too I think. They will all mostly go the most direct/well known route to get out, even if it makes traffic.
Like where I live the highway is standstill for 2 hours every morning near me. there is 4 other ways to go, that aren't as direct..and they are easy driving. with maybe a handful of people taking them.
To fix it people would need to be changed to go somewhere else, only way they would take a different route. Adding more routes wouldn't make them change the way 'I've always drove this way to work". They would all be sitting in traffic going "WHY THE HELL wont these OTHER assholes take the new way made for them!"
I think ive noticed that here..not sure if its made that way to try to simulate people, or just a side effect of saving processing for him later. But a sim moving in, once he finds a job, he will ALWAYS take the route he used to goto work his first day. unless forced to change or a much shorter route is offered later. If i force his roads to change, he will then take the next most direct route.

Also force choices of roads on them, Like I will grid an area, but only connect 2 of about 6 of the roads to the avenue. I 'dead end' the rest one tick away from the avenue.
That way the sims on that road have one choice, drive out and around to the 'main' road to get to the avenue.

Like this Yonda (well kinda like this. I made a new area and ran out of money making a big example for you)
But I try to only have a few "main' intersections, and everything branching off of them that all flow one direction towards them...how the main roads make a grid..but stop before connecting.

But i doubt EA would make it easy to buy SimCity at EA/Asia like that.
