My interest in this was to just see what everyone else felt. Lag has no doubt gone up and down through out last several updates. Chat annoys me when I go through the sentences and find the word wheel, spike, stud, road, and ridiculous in game words like this are blocking entire sentences. As well as more than like 6 words type thing it gets blocked.

Tech support wastes my time with well you need to send these files with your report. OK there they are, and as I am looking at the same files seeing the cuts in sentences, I get back from live chat well we don't see anything, pff. I am a bit annoyed they go by the 1,2 ,3 system, and those are the only answers they give. We don't see anything. Its spy ware on your computer (somehow your fault). We will send this to be looked at by our staff ( other words good bye we will not be getting in touch with you)

I was interested in the poll to see if others felt the major attention should be in what areas. In a sense I Classify two categories as sub-categories. Lag and chat I have considered the biggest issues myself.
Ship invulnerability, undead, weapon locks more minor issues. In these areas, everyone can do it so its not so much a big advantage to one or a few. As for weapon locks using esc gets ya out of it.

I just wanted to know why the attention was being put to something like the undead bug, or if doll did multiple attacks, when to me there seemed to be such a bigger issue that needed attention.

What I have seen so far in the poll is about what I expected, a bit surprised more hasn't gone to fixing the tech support issue though.

I would work towards walk arounds in these areas, that is what we basically have done. Get a vent site or something you can communicate, list it on your guild site not in game or get the 3 day er. With lacking tech support, this is your best option to getting help and being walked through areas you do not know how to do. Such as updating graphic drivers, where to get net2 or something else you may need, to get the driver.

Lag for sure. I was going to help in a boss battle today, took so long to load that by the time the screen was no longer black, I was already dead!

Everything, of course, but the main thing is the LAGGGGG. I never used to have much trouble, but since the update it's been terrible.

But... sometimes it would be nice to play without it! I never mind if people ask me, but sometimes newer people I've helped TP to me at bad times - for them. LOL

I was on the 'Undead Brigand' mission, and had a new lvl 5 TP to me during. Um.. got killed.
Hasn't TPd to me since, but I could've prevented it with a 'not available' option!

~P
LOL Yes I would love to see that update. That's one of the reasons why I made it a guild rule to ask before you tp, it's too dang distracting when people tp without asking. And it adds lag and it is an invasion of people's privacy at times....

I will quit talking about this here, off topic.

Far as I am concerned i don't mind the teleport subject. We have had that rule as well, to be polite and ask someone to teleport to them. We have even had to take it to a strike three and you are out, and several people just lately have been booted.

The worse situation is grenades, and someone ports to ya and you hit them with the grenade damaging yourself, or dying. The lag is getting worse, porting as well as a friend coming online, is causing spikes.

I guess I should get another poll going, this is one of the items i had on one already set up, just haven't done it yet.

will 512mb video card help?

currently i am using a 128mb video card and experience some lag and yes it has gotten worse after the last big update. for me, i especially see it when the "souls" of the enemy float skyward....looooooonnnng green flash.

But it sounds like even if i go out and get a video card with 512mb on it i'll still experience lag.

So i guess my question is...do i really need to spend the money?

I wonder how much of the lag is related to each person's own internet connection and the company running it. Would lag be caused by several other people trying to download a lot of information at the same time? Maybe it's overloading the local servers?

I still blame Disney for a lot of the lag issues, especially when there is an update. My connection drops practically anytime some of my upper level friends use their staves at the same time, especially with wither. Kind of annoying. Maybe they could drop the graphics or whatever so that it doesn't take up so much memory?
