Default Re: Trains and Transport Meets Zerglings...

I'm probably just confused as to what you guys are talking about. But didn't they already say that each faction will have it's own main city and there will be no fighting in those cities?

As to the load times, I'm not sure how they do it, but with the streaming technology or whatever I think everyone will ride the train for the same amount of time, all kind of leaving and arriving at the same time. If it works like WoW (you can walk through an entire continent without going through a loading screen) then there has to be some sort of system they can use to make the trains work so everyone arrives at the same time.

There are for sure people in WoW that lag a lot and they don't load or anything either, they just teleport around because they are lagging so much lol. They do kind of lose some time though because everytime they lag they aren't moving, so one second they'll be right next to you, and the next they'll teleport and be 5 steps behind you.

So then again I really don't know how it will work lol. I just figured everyone would ride the train at the same time. (kind of like the trams in WoW).

By the way, I'm really happy that once this game comes out, I won't have to hear about WoW so much and its little feries and magical gnomes that shoot glitter beams out of their bottoms.
