I personally think there should be a node 3 on DireWolf20, I understand that their aren't enough people on direwolf. Which I think is due to the constant horrible TPS on the server, but if there was a third node I think this would not solve the issue but just procrastinate the problem on Node 1 & 2 until it can be fixed.
I personally find that when I am on during weekdays the lag ain't so bad and when it does get bad I have noticed its around the 2ish hour mark for the server being up. So couldn't we just make restart more frequent so it reset every 2 hours I think that would help a lot with the lag. As I really don't see we got enough players for another node
The thing is, its already supposed to restart every 2 hours. I think if we had another node (Possibly even a standalone) that has less lag it would help the DW20 servers even out.
Couldn't you either have a new node or even a donator only node? Let's assume the latter is a viable option, you'd have people who just wanna play on 1+2, people who intend to stay on 3 BUT if people are 'trying before buying' so to speak, they'll donate to get onto node 3 where you could limit amount of players/tier priority etc..........

donator only will never be something MYM does again, under the order of slind, so the latter idea is a straight out no, the best thing to do with the other 2 nodes is to get players to optimise
I have been going around on both nodes for quite some time, and this is actually one of the best things to do. I ALSO think that a third node would be easier and personally less time consuming for other mods/Sr Mods as zipping from player to player helping them fix there AE systems, Ender quarries, BC quarries. Laser drills etc. REALLY isnat too fun, as both me and @Pitschweis can confirm due to us help darkcrafter88 with his AE was a pain, and yet, STILL is a pain.
The problem I think Direwolf20 servers have is that node 1 is the go to server for people trying the pack out and don't know that we have a second node. So node 1 has a lot of players joining and leaving as they go through the pack. Node 2 is mostly occupied by more experienced players that play till they have basically everything and sometimes they do it like they would in singleplayer. Then they build something like zilions of Geothermal Generators instead of upgrading them HV solars. I mean, I don't blame them. They play their game we are there to show them and teach them how to make their bases more server friendly. So what we have is Direwolf20 node 1 full of players. / TPS low due to amount of players Direwolf20 node 2, experienced players, slots left but people won't switch nodes as they already expanded on node 1. / TPS low due to advanced bases Sadly have not been online recently so can't tell what the situation is now, but as Mania said in the first post. Direwolf20 could have even more players but because of the relatively low server performance players just quit or switch to another modpack. Note: This is my opinion, could be wrong.
the only problem with solars is that they suck terribly with keeping up your energy produciton at night, otherwise they are O.K.
but you also can store your energy as well i am and older member and have been playing for a long time i have approximately 5bil power stored RF and 4bil in EU i have been playing with Varrek88, _____AJ_____ and ManiaXAsguard on node 2 and i tend to spend about 80 - 90 percent of my time helping others i also have been supplying power massive to the word with over 2 mill a tick coming in and im powering like around 11- 15 bases other than mine and BetaLazer's base i did that so that i could get rid of some possible lag and it helped for a wile but it will not be a permanent fix i think a node 3 will be a great idea and it should be set as the primary node for new players so that node 1 can get a bit of recovery in the lobby you could post the other 2 nodes ip so they could join them if they wanted to or do something similar to the lobby for b team, AG+ and those modpacks so that the know there are multiple servers. just an opinion.
This would solve alot of issues that cause low tps if there are less people on each server then it would lower the over all tps on each server. I would personally love to have a new server so that most new persons would have a new world and a fresh start.
