EA Staff (Retired)Hello everybody,
tested with 2 characters.
I first created a character to see how the game performed, and played a bit to level it up in story mode.
Then, i've played PvP matches, several story mode flashpoints, veteran mode flashpoints both solo and in groups, as well as Galactic Starfighter.
And then, I compared the results and stability by using a copied character from Leviathan server.
The two characters functioned in the same way.
The only difference i noticed is the higher ping. It's at 250ms and regularly goes up to 370ms. On Leviathan (French server), I have 25ms, and on Star Forge (US server), the ping is 85ms.
Other than this ping issue, performances are good. Too few players were connected during my playtime, due to a different region, so matches (PvP, Flashpoints or Galactic Starfighter) took a few minutes to start.
I did not notice any significant difference in terms of performances or bugs.
So to answer the questions
Compared to an existing server, how is the performance?
Juste an higher ping (250 to 370ms) than Star Forge (us) server (85m), which is higher than Leviathan (fr) server (25ms).
Any specific areas or planets where you feel the performance has lessened?
The high ping is also noticeable when taking a taxi (e.g., on Dromund Kaas or all other planet) where the display scrolls by in jerks.
This is less noticeable on the STARFORGE server, and scrolling is normal and smooth on the LEVIATHAN server.
What region/country do you reside in?
FRANCE
Provide a comparison of ping from existing servers to Shae Vizla.
The Leviathan is 25ms
Star Forge is 85ms
Shae Vizla is 250ms to 370ms
Is grouped content working properly?
No problem. Same than others servers
How quickly can you get into a match or Flashpoint you’ve accepted?
Too few players were connected during my playtime, so matches (PvP, Flashpoints or Galactic Starfighter) took a few minutes to start.... But it was still faster than on leviathan server cause deserted server
Is travel to any location (planet, Stronghold, Fleet, etc…) hindered?
Just, the display scrolls by in jerks when take a taxi (e.g., on Dromund Kaas or all other planet).
Are there any issues with the UI such as missing assets or loss of functionality?
No
Are there any issues with visuals or sounds with the cinematics?
No
