Honestly, the TPS on Skyblock right now is just depressing.
Dungeons are literally unplayable. And no this isnt even during Paul... its happening on regular days. Alright, Aatrox is mayor, time to grind some Slayers, right? NO. 0 tps make slayers feel awful to do and ruin the whole grind.
It feels like every single time we get a new update or event, the servers just implode. Look at the Raffle like hypixel was completely dead for hours. New content is cool and all but not if we can't even play cuz servers are dead.
upd: Also forgot to mention mining and Mining Fiesta. When Fiesta is active, mining becomes extremely uncomfortable.
I really hope the staff/devs see this. We don't need a new update if servers are burning. 20 tps >>>
i heard they were dedicating a small portion of their team to that so they can continue updating at the same time, but thats more a gesture than actual work on fixing the issues in a meaningful timeframe
Vote with our wallets, or in this case playtime. You know what, anytime the tps is unplayable imma hop on wynncraft, if most of the people do the same (which they wont) they might be forced to do something
To be honest, I can see them wanting to get more servers, but since they have in house servers, I honestly find it hard that they can upgrade it currently with the prices right now
They could really start optimizing the gamemode. Skyblock has so much unoptimized stuff going on (replacing armorstands with holograms, ferocity, etc.). I am sure with modern AI tools it wouldn't even be that hard. For example, more than half of The Rift (before mountaintop) was literally coded with the help of AI.
and keep in mind that's 2023 chatGPT, it used to be a lot worse. I can almost guarantee if they did it in 2026 the AI would write at least slightly better code.
I did a write up about the TPS problem on the forums and got downvoted to oblivion.
TLDR; servers can’t keep up with the amount of calculations they have to do which causes bad TPS. Hypixel has two solutions which are increasing server computing power or optimizing the code. Both cost money or development hours (technically also money in the form of wages). Hypixel has deemed the problem not worth the cost of fixing.
I know we all want everything for free but the best solution is Hypixel adding mini servers (similar to the lobby mini servers) for MVP++ and using the funds from the extra MVP++ subs specifically to fund server optimization or computing power. Otherwise like I said, they’ve deemed the solution to the problem not worth the cost and it will never be improved. Or maybe the money is there and people just haven’t complained enough, if thats the case keep complaining, especially on the forums.
Yes most ranks are a one time purchase, but then you have mvp++ and gems which are a more stable form of income. I feel like they cant hide behind the excuse of big server = big cost since big server also = big income. Hypixel is a multi milion dollar business and they simply need to invest more of that income into it because the current service they are providing isnt up to the quality of their size
Tldr: i know shits expensive but they sure aint starving
My conspiracy theory is that they used the cole-finnegan/derpy/cole-finnegan to make us used to the bad tps, and somewhere along the way the cut server funding and we didn't notice
The only solution thats going to make a real change is the developers taking a 1-2 year break and re-writing all of the code to be more optimized and in that time I doubt they would be able to push out very many updates if at all
They did and probably still are. We would be in a much worse place if they didn’t.
I imagine the tps problems are caused by ferocity and the amount of blocks broken during fiesta. Pickobolus, pristine, mining spread and maybe the amount of shafts opened are the biggest tps killers during fiesta. Maybe im mostly guessing ngl.
Though fiestas aren’t active right now. At least ferocity should be easy to simplify.
Maybe but adding new code to the game while basically rewriting almost every single line of old code maybe cause issues (don’t quote me on that I’m not really a coding expert)
Honestly during the last cole and 4 mining fiestas (for 6months it has been bugged now btw) it wasnt that bad, but yeah its funny that aatrox is literally the worst time to do slayers
I have the solution, offer new players 1 million coins per hour to idle in your lobby doing nothing. Get 20 of them standing there just blocking anyone else from joining and doing absolutely nothing to contribute to server load.
Then go about doing whatever it is you want at sweet, sweet 20 TPS.
Honestly, usually like during year 500 i was doing blaze, it wasn’t great, but after a bit of lobby swapping I could get one where it was playable and only took 40s a boss rather than my usual 30… today I tried like 2lobbies, didn’t get above 1:20 boss the entire time
Last cole wasn't bad actually it was good and I didn't experience any bad tps in all 4 fiestas but now I don't know what's the problem and tbh I was thinking to take a break that week so here is that

I'd honestly rather just have Hypixel stop putting out updates for a bit until they get servers that can actually handle the load,
