I’ve played 600 hours and…

Discussion

I just played another mmorpg after playing SOLO for 600+ hours…..and the difference is astounding.

There’s 100 people on my screen no lag, no fps drop, no high ping… the game feels incredibly smooth..

And that’s exactly what’s missing from SOLO… a smooth experience.

SOLO is super fun which is why I played it but as soon as you group up and go into raid your fps is cut in half if not thirds, and either are forced to hide players (which causes mechanics to fail) or play the game with lag. And this is coming from someone with the best hardware you can buy.

I understand UE4 is coming but if you look at BnS UE4 update it hardly increased any performance.

I’ve played every mmorpg possible, and I’m shocked at how few actually feel and run well.

I think I just broke over 300 hours and the optimization is terrible. I'm running an i7-8700K + 3080 FTW3 Ultra + 16gb Ram and 30fps is common.

I recently downloaded Lost Ark RU and it was like experiencing high frame rate for the first time all over again.

I got my money out of SOLO, and I can't say it's a bad game at all, but there's enough going against it that I think I'm done.

I'll play Lost Ark until New World releases and then probably go back to Lost Ark when it releases in NA.

Lost Ark and NW are both terrible games, have fun with that. One's an Isometric EZPZ diablo the MMO game and NW is..../lmao

The level of salt in your comment is staggering.

And I have about 70+ hours into Lost Ark and New World each, so I'm already very aware that I enjoy both games, and that's really all that matters, is that I enjoy the games.

It's okay that you don't.

Salt? I'm just pointing out facts. Lost Ark is Diablo the MMO, with easy af gameplay and isometric viewpoints, if you like it, that's fine, but you like skilless drone games.

And New World doesn't even know what it wants to be, it's PVP is meh, it's PVE is half baked, so yes, on another MMO's reddit I think I'm more then in my right to /lol at bad games, no? Doesn't make it salty in the slightest.

If I was salty, I'd be going to those games reddits and trolling out. I'm not. I'm pointing out how bad games are bad on a reddit for another game.

For some reason you feel the need to slip in passive aggressive comments and what I can only assume were meant to be insults.

You can state your opinion without all the salt and frustration.

For example - "but you like skilless drone games" - That was obviously meant as a dig, which is strange, because it was only based on 2 games I enjoy and if true, it wouldn't be a bad thing anyways. But it certainly wasn't a compliment, or even neutral.

In which mmorps do you have 100+ people on screen without a single drop or high ping ?

6
Low_Bit_RateOP•

Ffxiv I have 144fps in Limsa and there’s like 100+ ppl here.

5
scarocci•

Not only i never reached such fluidity in ffxiv (despite having very solid consistent performance in SOLO) do you think it's fair :

to compare people mostly afk/standing still/emoting in a city in ffxiv (a nearly 10 years old game at this point) with your raid party going full all out on a boss with ton of special effects in a 2/3 years old mmo ?

While ffxiv have better performances (for obvious reasons) at least compare performances in similar situations

7
Low_Bit_RateOP•

Bruh you are reaching so hard. Yeah the fps is like 30 when people aren’t moving lmao.

There’s no arguing the horrible performance lmao

Ffxiv 8 people raids = 240fps. Solo 8 man raid = 20 fps.

Consider that lmfao.

2†
scarocci•

So you have nearly twice better fps in ffxiv raids than in cities ?

8
MikeHeel•

We've all likely played tons of MMOs for hundreds of hours. This isn't anything worth posting. If you don't enjoy SOLO, CYA. SOLO's content even with a touch of lag is much better than majority of MMO's out there.

4†
Low_Bit_RateOP•

Have fun playing 20fps

6
MikeHeel•

I'm usually 50-60 FPS, 20-50 Ping. Frames are also not the most crazy thing in the world, that people pretend they are. lmao I recently upgraded from a 1080 to a 3070 earlier this year. I'm not like OmG ThiS Is HoW GaMiNg ShOulD bE!!!!! People are laughable with that shit.

Better Gameplay > All

Low_Bit_RateOP•

I have a i7 8700k OC at 5ghz and a 3080ti.

I get 20 FPS in raids of more than 10 people.

I get 144fps in cyberpunk…..

It sucks….

MikeHeel•

Sounds like a personal issue, I get atleast 30-40 FPS in raids of 20 people and again, frames aren't the most important, good gameplay is. This isn't an FPS where 30 FPS or 60 FPS will drastically change the gameplay.

SOLO doesn’t have a dick, you can’t suck it dry. Stop fanboying so hard, your statements are all either wilfully bullshit or severe ignorance. Give over and quit whining like a child that people have legitimate criticism of a game.

Hes probably half your age why even engage with people like this

No one's sucking anything but you sucking off hater ass bitches. LOL Sorry my opinion doesn't conform to your lame ass narrative that I disagree with and am showing off as to why. CYA2 bitchboi.

dontcareatall2•

True. Besides that, the content is getting pretty boring and repetitive. I mean, every mmo is repetitive, but here we are just receiving the exact same dungeons and raids we have been farming for a while, just with a few new mechanics and higher dps check.

3†
quickiler•

And yet people still wiping.

6
dontcareatall2•

It's not easy, just boring because its the same.

4
MikeHeel•

Like every other MMO that has different raid tiers to do for 3-6 months at a time like WoW/FF14???? What a dumb comment.

5
dontcareatall2•

"What a dumb comment" perfectly describes your comment.

1
MikeHeel•

It perfectly describes my comment indeed, about referencing such a dumbass take like yours. Almost every major PVE game has you doing the same raid tiers for months. Name one that doesn't?

1†
dontcareatall2•

Thats exactly what i said, but your dumbness and lack of reading comprehension couldn't get it. I said every mmo is repetitive, its normal. But in SOLO you grind a raid for weeks and when a new raid comes its the exact same as the old one, just a few new mechs and higher dps check, while in other games you get a whole new experience in a new raid making it less boring. Do you get it now special boy?

Why do you get so upset when people point out the flaws on thee game Mr. Whiteknight? No one was trashing the game, just pointing out how it could get better, because at this pace it will surely die.

I have a 2070s and a little older processor and the game even can handle big crowds in raids and PvP with over 50 FPS. Isn’t it stated somewhere that the game has issues to utilize newer hardware ? So the Engine update might actually make some things better.

3
Dezyrable•

Yeah I have a 5yo 1070 and I never go below 40 FPS in raids with everything maxed out (except for bloom at 0), I don't know how all these guys with NASA PC's can have so many performance issues...

Existence-ispain•

The number 1 thing in this games way is gameforge and there shit optimization, it could've been one of the next big MMOs, instead it'll likely never reach a large playerbase.

as soon as you group up and go into raid your fps is cut in half if not thirds, and either are forced to hide players (which causes mechanics to fail) or play the game with lag. And this is coming from someone with the best hardware you can buy.

Well, thats true for you....not for everyone.

The game is not optimized for the latest hardware because they are porting it to unreal engine 4. My system is 3 years old and runs solo very well.

Goldhawk_1•

Chinese games don't seem well optimized. I've played a few in the past and most recently this and naraka, they're just brutal on hardware.

My problem is traversal. Every time I wanna go somewhere it takes a really long time figuring out where the hell to even go because the world map does not help at all.

2
scarocci•

Yeah the world map is very underwhelming especially when the local maps are very well done in comparison

1
Goldhawk_1•

I'm always trying to look for a new place and I go to 6 wrong places it's infuriating lol

scarocci•

Best thing to do : keep cyrrus drive for weichuan highlands, baxian plateau and huaixiu village.

Use your class instance teleport to go back to world map.

Use residence teleport to go back to cloudrise.

Put the talisman teleport from residence in from of the chang'an arena, for a quick access to 2 easy battlepass token per day

UE4 BnS is very smooth for me waaaaaay better then UE3. Can do all content without dropping settings or hiding players except the raids. and even that would probably be fine if i fiddled with the settings some more but i dont really care enough to do so as i dont mind hiding others. Also did all the raids in SOLO hiding players hasnt caused any issues so far.

Low_Bit_RateOP•

First of all when you hide players the 4th boss in jade do not show knocked up player’s AoE to catch them.

Second, the last boss you need to see players to spread out the pools.

It’s imperative to have players on to play well instead of being carried.

1†
EbolaDP•

On normal the circles show up even when you hide players. Well for some people they do its pretty wonky either way you only need like 2 people to have players on to save them. Last boss you dont need to have characters on to dodge the spread aoe just look at where the name tags are standing.

7
SirDragix•

It shows a circle under the player while It Is Flying

What are you talking about?

3
Filo-hime•

it didn't show the circles at start but about 1-2 weeks after release they fixed it

in hard mode it doesn't show knocked up players either way

on dahan instead having other players turned off makes it easier for me to see the free spots... I mean it's not as cluttered and you see the name tags either way

can't remember any other mechanics that really needed players turned on... I mean the only other thing where it might be better with players is in river ruins with the balls
