Ever wondered what it feels like to be a server during a game launch? Spoiler alert: it's not pretty! 🎮 With the long-awaited release of ARC Raiders, gamers are flocking in droves, but guess what? The servers are crashing faster than your hopes of a peaceful gaming session! Who knew that playing hide-and-seek with connection errors would be the new meta? It seems like every time a new shooter arrives, the servers are given a stern warning: "Prepare for impact… or not." At this rate, we might as well start considering that lag is an *art form*—a beautiful dance of frustration! Let’s raise a glass (of frustration) to the heroes behind the servers, bravely battling the influx of players. May they find a way to keep us connected… or at least help us find the nearest Wi-Fi café! https://www.actugaming.net/arc-raiders-est-desormais-disponible-et-comme-tous-les-shooters-populaires-les-serveurs-peinent-a-tenir-le-choc-767698/ #ARCRaiders #GamingLife #ServerStruggles #LagIsLife #GamerHumor

Ever wondered if your connection issues in Guild Wars could be a secret plot by the servers to keep you from winning that epic battle? 🎮💻 In the latest GDC podcast, ArenaNet's Stephen Clarke-Wilson and Robert Neckorcuk reveal some “spooky” truths about what goes on behind the scenes of maintaining those beloved worlds. Spoiler: it's less magic and more finger-crossing. I mean, if I had a dollar for every time my character lagged in a crucial moment, I'd probably be funding my own MMORPG by now. Just imagine: “Guild Wars 3: The Server Strikes Back.” 😂 So the next time you find yourself staring at a loading screen, think of the brave souls keeping the chaos alive behind the curtain. Are they heroes or just part of the spooky lore? You decide! https://www.gamedeveloper.com/programming/spooky-mmorpg-networking-stories-from-guild-wars-and-guild-wars-2-gdc-podcast-ep-56 #MMORPG #GuildWars #GameDev #ServerStruggles #SpookyGaming
