Dev Post JackieKo Posted August 15, 2023 Dev Post Share Posted August 15, 2023 Good morning everyone, We will be taking down the Leviathan server to begin migration over to the cloud. Expected downtime is 6 hours. All other servers will be taken down, but brought back up online momentarily. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dev Post JackieKo Posted August 15, 2023 Author Dev Post Share Posted August 15, 2023 We're doing some additional testing to ensure that the Satele Shan, Star Forge, Darth Malgus, and Tulak Hord servers are good to bring back up. Appreciate the patience! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dev Post JackieKo Posted August 15, 2023 Author Dev Post Share Posted August 15, 2023 All servers with the exception of Leviathan are now back online. I'll update this thread with further updates on the server migration when I have them. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dev Post JackieKo Posted August 15, 2023 Author Dev Post Share Posted August 15, 2023 The Leviathan server is now back up and running! I will be opening this thread in case anyone needs to report any issues. Thank you for your patience! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JenaSalton Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 That seemed pretty speedy. Fingers crossed that everything works well for the Leviathan players and there aren't any major hiccups for them especially with it being a holiday in France.

LadyAdmiral Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Logging in from California, my "Server Lag" on the fleet is between 180-250, same as it was before the move. (I didn't test any player-based activities though like PvP Warzones/Huttball where I experience the worst of the server lag problems.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrixxieTriss Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Can anyone share the IP of the new AWS Leviathan server? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThanderSnB Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 (edited) Connecting from the States, I'm getting less lag on the cloud server compared to the old ones in Ireland. Tulak Hord lag: 169-320ms (186ms most common) - Dublin, Ireland The Leviathan lag: 161-171ms (164ms most common) - Amazon Cloud 1 hour ago, TrixxieTriss said: Can anyone share the IP of the new AWS Leviathan server? It's not an IP, but this is what the game reports is the new domain for it. The Leviathan - LastPlayedShardAddress = he4002n01.cloud.swtor.com:8995:castlehilltest For reference, this is the one for Tulak Hord: Tulak Hord - LastPlayedShardAddress = he4001n01.swtor.com:8995:castlehilltest It looks like the only difference is the ".cloud." subdomain.

LittleEwina Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Logging from France, Server lags tested on different locations but outside combat situation, SS : 86-93ms / SF: 91-95ms / Levi: 26-29ms. Would need to be tested with the Nightmare Pilgrim as it's literally one of the laggiest fight I've ever done on swtor to really see how much it changes things. But yeah Levi for me had around the same numbers as SS and SF before the transfer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PneumaMY Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Connecting from APAC. The IP I got seems to route to Amazon AWS datacentre in Dublin, Ireland. (52.16.191.XXX) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(52.16.191.XXX) I wonder if this is just for the transition period or will they continue to permanently use the AWS location for European servers? It could have been an opportunity to improve ping for French speaking gamers. On the flip side, keeping them altogether could also mean they plan cross server for local based servers 🤷🏻♀️. It would be awesome if the dev team could confirm or deny that’s the plan 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially as they were all located in the same data centre & it seems Leviathan might still be geolocated in Ireland too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is how you find the IP address : Open the Windows command prompt. Type this command Netstat -n -p tcp -b | more It will show you the 2 swtor connections to the server IP. It usually has an ip like this - 52.16.191.XXX Edited August 15, 2023 by TrixxieTriss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't notice anything significant, but I was kinda in-and-out, and I normally didn't see anything significant with the BioWare/EA datacentre either.

DWho Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 4 hours ago, TrixxieTriss said: On the flip side, keeping them altogether could also mean they plan cross server for local based servers Or it could be purely financial. Keeping all three "servers" in the same server farm is cheaper than spreading them out to different locations (as opposed to moving them all to a different location). The benefit you get from spreading them out only arises if the game population rises significantly and one datacenter can't manage the full "workload" and the population using the server becomes more dispersed.

That maybe true. But from what I’ve been told, an AWS contract isn’t priced on the location as much as it’s a total number of servers. So they pay a flat rate & it doesn’t matter the location(s).

DIVAvonFarstar Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 If you look at the AWS zone map for Europe --> https://aws.amazon.com/de/about-aws/global-infrastructure/regions_az/?p=ngi&loc=2, the question somehow arises as to why France is supplied from Ireland, although Paris is also listed.

fabsus Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 (edited) tested right now: tulak hord: 32ms darth malgus: 33ms leviathan: 104ms (via cmd) i also activated signal ingame. here it says: tulak hord: 28ms darth malgus: 30ms leviathan: 48ms Edited August 16, 2023 by fabsus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goreshaga Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 I'm usually between 32 and 40 ms on the UE servers, when i played yesterday after it went back up, i was below 30 ms on The Leviathan (28-29 ms when i checked). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazuone Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Maybe there will be a maintenance to consolidate all when all servers will be in the cloud. We can also be happy that apparently no player has issues after 24h migration... that's a win ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
