• Improving information updating

• Our team is trying to improve not only the conceptual component of the game, but also the root aspects of the basic components of the server's work in order to keep up with the times. We are pleased to inform you:
  • Increased server update frequency (tickrate): Previously, the server architecture allowed information to be updated once every 0.666(6) seconds, now the update occurs every 0.111(1) seconds: 
    • This update helps reduce situations where desynchronization occurs between the client and the server.
    • Example : You have an invulnerability effect (such as Flames of InvincibilityCalls down a blessing of flames on nearby Party members to make them invincible for 12 sec.
      Shares cooldown with the skill: Alliance Flames of Invincibility. , Celestial ShieldProtects the target with sacred power, making it invincible. , Item Skill: Lesser Celestial Shield, etc.), which means that you already see the icon in the buff bar, but you still took damage or even Char died. Why is this happening? Let's consider:
      • When you click on the skill button, 2 actions occur on the client-server side: sending an “informing” packet and checking the validity of the action.
        • Informing: everything related to notifying the server and client that the skill has been used and everything related to it: the appearance of an icon in the buff line, etc. Conventionally speaking: "Client: I am using the skill. Server: Okay. Got it + accepted"
        • Validation: everything related to the terms of use, whether the skill can be used. Conventionally speaking: "I looked at what you used ("Server: what you informed me about, this action is valid, the effect is now in effect. Client: Okay. Accepted + understood"
      • So what's the problem? Where does the old 0.666 value come from and why did we reduce it to 0.111? Let's figure out what this value is in general.
        • Processor time (eng. process time or CPU time) is the time spent by the computer processor to process a task (program). Distributed among threads, which may belong to the same or different processes in accordance with the operating system mode used. Processor time is measured in ticks or seconds. In our case, this processor time (on the server computer) is 0.08. This number is our processor tick.
        • The processing time on the server core was 0.666, which means that any check of the above actions occurs in this range. That is, if it falls at the beginning of the tick - the response with validation will come at the end of the tick (in 0.666 seconds). If at the end of the tick - the response with validation will also come at the end of the tick, but this will be faster (not after 0.666, but after 0.222, conditionally).
      • So what has changed and why is it a good thing?
        • Since technically a computer server can process requests (give answers to requests) once every 0.08 seconds, and request processing on the server (give answers to requests) is set to once every 0.666 - we can PAINLESSLY reduce this time to 0.111, which leads to the fact that the tick value will decrease, their number will increase, and the client will receive responses with validity of actions more often. As a result, the first situation described can still happen, but its probability is reduced by 6 times !
      • Why doesn't this load-load-crash the server?
        • The processor tick is executed faster than the tick on the server core. Due to this, it will not be possible to "put down" the hardware.
        • The number of game events (player actions) will not occur more often in any case: as many times as you clicked, you click. Only the time with which the effect of the click will be validated and sent to the client has changed.
        • The load on the server core of this action was not critical, so even if the load increases due to the response speed (tick), it will still not be critical.
        • Thus, no lags will occur from this action. And if it happens, we can always reduce it not by 6, but by 3 times or return the primary value. However, we are confident that this will not be necessary.
