Once you log back in you will notice that the new line of sight changes for decorations are no longer active. This functionality will remain turned off until next week when we can implement a new patch to address it.



Thanks everyone!



-eric It was afterall.. the only significant function change introduced with the new SH besides adding PvP (w/toggle). And clearly LoS is something that demands the server do calculations.



Now... this being the case... it really should not have taken 3 days to turn LoS off until you can fix it.



On the plus side... got a temp fix before the weekend.... and in place for however long it takes to actually fix the issue.



On a constructive note: most players appreciate that you have made the PTS active again ahead of a major patch. This particular issue though.... escaped PTS because there is really no load testing done on PTS.. given how few players bother to go to PTS... and that there are never very many people there at any one time. I'm not sure how to get more people on PTS doing more stress testing... but adding LoS to decorations is something that clearly would have benefited by a properly server load test. Even a formal "code review" before implementation could have helped here if it included a "what could go wrong" assessment before adding something like Los on decorations which clearly would make demands on the servers since it requires calculation and determinations. ^^Called it.It was afterall.. the only significant function change introduced with the new SH besides adding PvP (w/toggle).
