Is this just me or is it a global issue? Lately its been really bad for me. Au delay when trying to sell or browse. Bought ammo had to relogg to get it. Not poss to craft etc as blueprints dosent show up when I open the machine. Rubberbanding alot. Disconets atleast once a day. Lootlagg. Horrible spec around 20 00 and a few hours forward swe time. If its only me this is happening to I guess I gotta work with my hardware abit more
Quarry server is still bad, and auction lag is horrible at times too so not only you. Just wish MA could fix it sometime had it long enough now...
I avoid Quarry for the very reason that it's so laggy. Trying to browse the shops in Harbour isn't much better, as the exteriors take so long to load. Opening external shopkeepers, then waiting for the items to load there, takes even longer. At least the terminals in Harbour tend to work fine. Other than that, I get auction lag fairly consistently anywhere I am, and loot lag on occasion. But I have no issues with crafting or general gameplay like yourself, Ridan.
Seems servers have been taking a major hit as of late then ):. Issues around Quarry seems to be lagg and delays for me even south of quarry while mining ive had som issues. Thx guys feel abit better now
As I understood it, there was issues with the internet routing in the region where the MA server farm is. At least that is what I've been lead to believe from various sources across the forums.
Christmas.... Merry Mayhem..... Calypso gets server priority... Happens every year. Hopefully IKEA has an end of year sale and MA might think of sending their technonerds on a shopping spree for a few new additions to the server park to share with other planets.
Nah Cyborg there is crap lag everywhere in EU, crafting 100 click on Caly took over an hour to do because of lag 2 days ago. Auction has bad lag no matter what planet I am on, seem Arkadia is somewhat worse though. Storage on all planets is what kills me, moving stuff from inventory to storage sometimes takes 2 minutes and it cancels and I have to redo it. All planets are suffering from this stoage lag none are worse then others. So whatever it is, it is not specific to any Planet it is specific to MA server farm as a whole.
Rumour has it that there are routing problems or whatever in the country where the server farm is located...and have been now for a number of months.
Yes but kinda makes this year weird. 3 things MA was gonna fokus on 1. Taming 2. Planet toulan and the major one 3 client stability. 1 and 2 not happend and 3 has gotten worse ):
Whatever MA has or hasn't done, at least there have been a lot of developments and improvements by the A-Team. Arkadia is filling out very nicely.
Taming and Toulan probably goes hand in hand, because what I understand it correctly taming will be an important part of that planet. Probably why Toulan also is a bit delayed, development of the taming system. Or I hope, maybe they have not started the development of the taming system yet.....
Last I heard, Taming didn't even exist on paper...its still a note or post-it on a whiteboard somewhere.....
The new Taming system is and will not be an action you do in-game, it is method used by MA to force conformity to accepting game bugs as good features of the game, once your convinced they have you Tamed and can do with you as they want.
Marco snaked the taming program on his way out the door. You will see it in the next game he produces. As for Kmax's comment that lag is happening all over and its not one place.. reread what I said.. Basically MA is rerouting resources to mayhem servers because that's where a major chunk of money for JR's Christmas shopping and Christmas dinner food bill gets paid from. With those resources diverted then all OTHER places will suffer the lag mate. This is SOP for this time of year.. at least the 7 I have been here for anyway.
The bad lag spikes started happening the first day of Mayhem (yes, I noticed). Since Arkadia really has nothing to do with Mayhem, it is logical to assume that internet traffic to the Mayhem servers is being given priority over ours. I understand the reason for doing this, however, I think it's wrong for MA to make everyone on other planets suffer just because one planet wants to have an event. They really need to find a better way to host events that do not cause the other planets to have extreme lag.
But I also lagged like hell when in the MM instances also and so have my team mates. Anyways for the one night our society decided to run some MM instances anyways it was laggy and crap. So if they truely did open up bandwidth to just the MM servers it never did shit because it lags like everywhere else. I even had to wait to open up the trade terminal in there for about 30 seconds for it to open a menu. The issue is deeper then just saying they giving all bandwidth to one area IMO. Snape probably is more accurate and no matter what you do where you will be laggy as hell. I have been pretty much staying away from the game of hunting and stuff because bad lag and mobs remaining and annoying me after loot etc. I will go play other games less aggrivating to play until MA gets their heads out of thier arses and realise the crap they are doing is not making this game any more fun and is actually making it less fun to play.
Well after hunting the last few days.. I can say its not looking like a lag issue to me. The mob response times after being shot at are faster then the animation of the round leaving the weapon getting to them. If their response time is as fast as a drag racers at the Christmas tree Im thinkin lag aint an issue. Its obvious MA has been fucking around with mob AI now to me at least. I am mainly a miner so I am immune to minuscule changes in hunting and they look like big changes to me when I do hunt. Like when I went to Caly over the holidays. They have changed so much there I seriously don't know how they manage to keep as many people there cycling ped as they do. Dam Longu look like Olympic sprinters now. My fastest weapons cant get 2 let alone 3 or more shots into a mob before it reaches me now over there. Didn't try bots but the last time I did I was shooting trooper with my fire forge and they were getting to me before the second round left the gun. Before Arkadia came I could drop an 03 before it reached me with same exact set up and half the skill I have now. Could there be lag between some people and the servers yeah its possible but Im not seeing it here as much as everyone is saying. Im thinkin you guys are merely getting trained to that excuse for when MA makes changes as drastic as this last change.
