  • @Matok1
    @Matok1 7 месяцев назад +25

    Yeah, multiplayer networking scaling problem. If you have 2 people on screen, each one needs information on 1 other person, which is a total of 2 'updates' the server needs to send out. If you have 3 people on screen, they each need data on 2 other people, which is 6 total updates to send, 2 per each of the 3 people.
    updates = n * (n - 1)
    So if you have 20 people on screen, you need 20 * (20 - 1) = 380 updates, just to handle making sure all clients are seeing everyone move and use abilities.
    In the case of battle for Ashenvale, wouldn't be surprised if each side has a couple raids going right now, which would be 80 on each side, so a total of 160 players all told in one spot. This is 160 * (160 - 1) = 25,440 updates.
    And those updates need to be sent out at a rate equal to your ping, so every like, 30 milliseconds, send out 25,440 updates. Yeah it can't keep up with that.
    Very few servers in the world could just 'handle' that mess, so just saying 'upgrade the servers', yeah that wouldn't help. You can't solve n * (n - 1) with 'bigger server'. You have to try to solve the n * (n - 1) problem itself, and it is very difficult to do. One of the ways they usually do so is just cap how many people can play at once (aka, make a battle ground).
    The thing I find most surprising is that the WoW dev team thought that open world pvp that lets as many people in as wants to show up wouldn't just implode like this.

  • @Khaltazar
    @Khaltazar 7 месяцев назад +205

    To fix this, Blizzard needs to disable the API call that returns what EVERY player is doing within 41 yards of you. Imagine having 300 players all calling that every time they cast a single spell times 300 players times how many spells those 300 players are casting as well and boom the server cannot handle it. Sorry, DPS meters will have to go. Either that or Blizzard needs to make that API call much more efficient to not return so much data. There is no need to tell each client what someone else is doing if it has no affect on them. Disable DPS meters outside of instances is the easiest fix.

    • @Khaltazar
      @Khaltazar 7 месяцев назад +35

      To add even more problems, each single step the API tells every player within 41 yards the movement of each player and renders that animation on top of any ability those players use. It is a lot of data. This is fixable, but it requires a lot of simplifying code and making hiding things from other players who don't need to have that information. It's why the whole zone lags because the server cannot handle the massive amount of data going back and forth at the same time.

    I remember back in original vanilla on Akama like 4-5 horde raiding guilds got together, it was maybe 8-9 full raids of people, and we all attacked Iron Forge one night. We almost had the king down when the server finally died. It was a slide show getting there and eventually the GMs restarted the server and teleported a bunch of us away from Ironforge. This, of course, ruined one of the top guilds' Naxx progression raids and so they weren't very happy with us. All of our raiding times were posted and public so the next time we got together to raid the alliance had locked down the raid entrances and we had to battle to get in. Good times.

      They should put some kind of debuff (player number can be tuned, but for example’s sake we’ll start with 10 same faction players). For every additional [same faction] player above 10 within 50 yards of you, your stats are reduced by a percentage. Encourage world PvP events like Ashenvale to be a zone wide battle for however many players (100? 200?) but which results in smaller strike teams skirmishing all over the zone rather than a giant 200 player lagfest clusterfuck.
