Once you think you've worked all of that out you open up the cluster to all us clients, you then can find other problems syncing between the servers as well as network traffic bottlenecks. But once it appeared that player data was getting corrupted you have to hit the big red button and take the whole thing down, hoping you have captured enough data the track down the cause. |
But as everyone knows, a hard drive blowing up, or a RAID controller freaking out on a newer driver or having an OS meltdown is all the devs' fault. They should have used their magical dev ***-pull powers to just make it not happen.
Right? RIGHT?

Yes, yes you really are being that unreasonable.
Other posters have gotten into why that's the case, so I'm not going to belabor the point. I'm just going to point out the fact that you're pretty much the only person who feels that way in this entire thread. That should tell you something.

Obviously, I don't care about NCSoft's forum rules, now.
Your entire argument is negated every single time you login. If you want a platform for a valid argument my recomendation is stop agreeing to the terms of service before you login.
