Hi,
Since I came back to game three years ago this site has always been really slow but over time it has just got worse. Some days I can't even load a single screen and the other ones it takes half a minute to load. I learned quickly not to depend on this site due to the sporadic availability to the players and instead started using cached results from google to see the pages from the site. However, google removed these cached results a few weeks ago. So to see a cached version of a page on the site we need to google to find the link on entropiawiki and then paste it in another cache site.
This morning I was trying to help a friend compare weapon choices in the Weapon compare V2 and after one hour of carefully adding buffs, choosing amps, adding possible enhancers I almost made my recommendation to him. Luckily I was critical of the results and saw that more than half of the settings I had input had simply not registered (e.g faster reload and focused blow had registered entries but were totally missing in the calculations most possibly due to desync). If I would have given my advice without checking the formulas I would have pointed him in the completely wrong direction. At the same time I feel ashamed that I actually once again trusted this site to help me. There is a saying that the definition of insanity is to do the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. As such - this is the last time I used entropiawiki in order to preserve what little sanity I still have left. There is just so much abuse you can tolerate before it is enough.
Seeing how much people have complained over latency in load over the last years for this site and that unfortunately beginners are recommended to use the site to learn about the game - I propose that the database is saved but the site itself is shut down, and then ritually subjected to senicide while all the wronged players can join in hymn to celebrate never having to be subject to these loading times again.
