It's more like withholding an addict's next fix because you know it will make them more desperate to get it

The deploy branch is the branch that is about to get rolled out to the public, it has (in theory) been spot-checked by everyone who worked on it, the commits (changes) in it are known to be good and working, it has been through QA and it can be expected to 'work'. Someone making last minute changes to it means that they're sticking code that hasn't been reviewed into it and there's all kinds of potential for that to cause problems with other changes - it hasn't been through QA in the context of the full deploy


It's like if you went to Burger King and ordered a whopper and the employee making it decided to make their own last-minute changes to the Whopper recipe

Lmaooooo thanks for the writeup its even tastier than I Imagined

Can you elaborate on why you wouldn't do that in software dev or what the repercussions are? Also I tried to upload it to imgur but it wouldn't let me with that image for some reason? Whats wrong with hotlinking

Well, hotlinking, back in the days of Aughts internet, back when bandwidth was limited, was generally looked down upon, and I think the forums had a policy against direct hotlinking for a good while. Not sure if it is hard and fast now

This basically. I will also add that weird and unforeseen problems can and will happen. A small change on a UI element could cause systems to fail, depending on how it was coded.

Really thinking I need to make some room on my SSD.

Game takes like 4 mins from starting to actually getting into the splash screen which was fine when I didn't have to restart the client constantly to see if I could play.

Does US west vs US east actually make any sort of difference these days? I live on the west coast but seems goons are playing east and you need to be in region to group?

That's one way to solve the server congestion problem. The sunk cost fallacy no longer applies, and now all friends, families, and communities can play on the servers that they want to play on, together.

Yeah I'm on west coast and I'm playing US East since that tends to have the higher US pop in most games. You can only play with people in the same region and I haven't noticed any bad lag yet

It takes forever on SSD too, but not quite that long.

For my last twitch comment, there are 900,000 people watching Lost Ark related content right now, which is basically like live streaming the Titanic sinking.

I'm in Austin, and it's about a ~40ms ping difference between west and east (east being faster), give or take.

game's going to be delayed by like 12 hours, but it probably took off 12 years of the staff's lives

And the database and server stuff is the only bit Amazon is directly responsible for huh? Funny how that's the bit loving up.

I wonder if smilegate managed to get good failure to deliver adequate services clauses in their contract with Amazon.
