So now that I had some time with the test server I gotta answer the questions myself. But before that one question from my side regarding the mount reward.
Do we need to complete GSF, PVP and Flashpoint on only one character or does it still count if we use 2 differenct characters on the server? Like for example I use one for GSF while I use another one for the flashpoint and one pvp match. Will this still count towards the rewards or do the requirements count per character only?
Back to the questions regarding perfomance now:
Compared to an existing server, how is the performance?
Compared to my usual server which is the german "Tulak Hord" server the general performance is about the same except delays in input especially GSF which feels like it has an delay of 1-2 second(s). The delay in PVP felt less noticable but is still there. Just running around the fleet is pretty much okay but interacting definitely has a delay always attached to it.
Any specific areas or planets where you feel the performance has lessened?
As already mentioned for me personally it was only in GSF. The fleet, Tython and "The Black Talon" seemed alright with slight delays in inputs like abilities or in conversations.
What region/country do you reside in?
Like the server Tulak Hord I reside in Germany which has quite a distance to the APAC region.
Provide a comparison of ping from existing servers to Shae Vizla.
So for comparision my usual ping is, with my current WIFI setup, which is bottlenecked through my WIFI card in my PC (70mbps download) around a stable 45 and sometimes around 35ish and 50ish while on Shae Vizla my ping is around 280ish to 500ish ms.
Is grouped content working properly?
Other than delays in interactions from my side and well the hard GSF delay, yes. Group content works perfectly fine.
How quickly can you get into a match or Flashpoint you’ve accepted?
It doesnt differ that much from the usual loading times after accepting and teleporting to the flashpoint or GSF. Maybe a minute at max on an HDD but well ofter lower than that.
Is travel to any location (planet, Stronghold, Fleet, etc…) hindered?
Nope work perfectly fine.
Are there any issues with the UI such as missing assets or loss of functionality?
I personally did not find any issues regarding assest, etc.
Are there any issues with visuals or sounds with the cinematics?
Also here no issues found for me personally.
That's all I had to say. Good day y'all and have fun playing SWTOR^^
Best regards
