Mires and lots of lag

retroGRADE · 11-13-2007, 03:14 PM

Hey guys just wanted to check in and let you know why I've kind of been a ghost lately. I recently started questing in the Mires, however, I ping at around 1500-2000 at all times. It could be worse for me since I live in the Midwest, but in any case, I really can't do anything. Also, since we are in a clan war and KOS has members in the Mires I think it would be best for me not to log on until the war is over. I'll try to get some experience here and there, but I don't want to sacrifice the win we have going. When I first entered the zone I encountered one of there members and he just owned me. However, the fact that none of my guns could hit him might have had something to do with it. In fact, even on enemies my shots take somewhere between 3-7 seconds to register. So, basically what I'm saying is I'll be on a little hiatus until they either patch the game or the clan war ends.

Either way, I have to say I'm very disappointed at the Developers for letting a game go live in this condition. IMO this should have been one of the key things that was working right before the game went live. Either way, it's still a fun game and I'll be back soon. War ends Friday right?

what's wierd is when I went through mires there was zero issues aside from a couple missions that were bugged. There was a server restart last Tuesday morning for their weekly scheduled maintenance and it's been almost unplayable in there since then. I don't know what they broke but I would guess it should be fixed when this first live patch goes in. Hopefully that will be this coming Tuesday. The only thing I can suggest is going to Plateau until then. It's not that much higher than Mires and much easier to get around in since it's back on Foreas.

I'm sorry to hear that Retro. From what Doc says, it sounds like it'll be a temporary thing though. Hopefully tonight it'll be back to normal.
I would find it a bit hard to play with that much lag too. I am on the West coast (Cali) but I haven't seen lag past 400 or so in anyplace up to the Palisades... (except for Wilderness 1 :P) Course, Palisades now has 2 instances, so that probably makes things better... I'm guessing that the Mires only has 1 right now?

Not so sure its the Dev's faults... seems more like the producers only giving the Dev's so much time to finish the game before it's released. The Dev's do what they can, I'm sure. The MMO community seems to have gotten used to their games being created and fixed "on-the-fly". You don't see that so much with single player games... course, those are a lot less complex: Ya dont have several thousand variables running around the landscape causing chaos in ways you didnt believe were possible. :P

I agree with retro, I am gona give mires 1 last try now, and if it works i'll do it, but if gonna lag like crazy, i'll wait for an update, b/c it seems a fix will be soon.
