This change may make lightly escorted rams more vulnerable but the general procedure for organized zone pushes is "Everyone to keep to escort ram" followed by a zerg to door move. I would be surprised if anyone risks suicide attacking the zerg in transit since it will likely put them in a position to be blockaded from the keep (with some exceptions based on keep/wc placement).
If anything it will stagnate some of the action in less organized times when you get an "adventurous" ram spawn that moves to the keep and starts the attack while everyone else is doing random stuff. Once it is on the door it tends to focus people. But that requires a disorganized enemy as well and seeing the ram on the map will probably catalyze a response from the enemy before it does one from the friendlies.
Anyway, just my $0.02 prognostication. See what happen happens in the field.
)I doubt it would be an improvement worth the sacrifice. Imho the biggest hit to performance is the skill/spell animations and any associated memory leaks, not a few extra skulls or someone making their gear look like a T1 character.Akalukz wrote: Fri Jan 15, 2021 4:58 pmIt would definitely make a performance improvement, can't see how it wouldn't especially in large ORvR battles.Kragg wrote: Fri Jan 15, 2021 4:54 pmI don't see it either.

There is no explanation of why the apperance change is better. Hence people asking.
Could you please share why you think so?Akalukz wrote: Fri Jan 15, 2021 4:58 pmIt would definitely make a performance improvement, can't see how it wouldn't especially in large ORvR battles.Kragg wrote: Fri Jan 15, 2021 4:54 pmI don't see it either.

The delay was set to 2 sec, fixed it to 1 sec like tooltip sayswonshot wrote: Fri Jan 15, 2021 4:31 pm Careers:
So is Electromagnet and Rift now both with a one sec casttime + one sec delay?
apperance:
Well if it helps performance, cool.
Stage2 NPCs and Ram on map:
I dont personally think this will help anything but firsttimers to know what is going on, and i doubt it will promote more clashes in the open(oRvR) but lets see. Thanks for experimenting and being open for testing what is a good and what is a bad change.
Really nice quality of life stuff in here.
Would be LOVELY if we could get shift+LMB click on chat to show who the person is, like it was on Live!
I doubt if it affects performance. It doesn't matter if it does anyway. This is not a job, this is a game. A major part in games is aesthetics and individual player statements on them. If there are people who wish to erase such an approach, by all means give em an option to tick a box and view the game as a bunch of stick figures fighting each-other on a 2d checkered terrain.nocturnalguest wrote: Fri Jan 15, 2021 5:29 pmCould you please share why you think so?
Pull this or that texture to show. I can't see how could it affect performance
The bug only occurred last week ...
