Well, it's not like as if the problem was going any better. As performances, things aren't exactly peachy at all and for some unfathomable reasons those issues didn't seem to be that high on the "to do" list. Repetition is the foundation of education. So here we go, repeating again and again what we have said for years now, in the crazy hope that someday things will get better.
They have posted that they are troubleshooting and trying to track down the problem. Imo this would be one of those times where solidarity in video game development would help. Calling and asking another company who has had similar problems and asking how they fixed it would probably help a lot.
They know the problem; it's the shit service Amazon are providing. They are collecting information to go back to Amazon with and I believe they are trying different ways to fix the issue behind the scenes. Personally latency was good for me yesterday but the day before it was awful past 3pm Gmt.
I'm almost always at ~200ms ping. I played a game at 90ms the other day and I must just be so used to having a higher ping that I really struggled. Kept swinging through people.
Latency for me has gotten worse the past 4 days. I used to run at a 150-190 but for whatever reason 4 days ago I started getting huge spikes. I'll be fighting an enemy at 180 and suddenly out of nowhere it just jumps to 500 for about 5-10 seconds before easing itself back to it's regular state. Thought it was Me at first due to some iffy weather here but my connection in every other game is perfect like usual.
Duh Lag-beast iz uh old an' evil kreature dat 'az been travlin' duh inter-webz draggin' down gamerz sinze duh begginin'. Yooz kan't kill duh zoggin' fing, yooz kan only drive it off frum wun 'untin ground too uh new one. Time fer deez gitz to form uh 'untin party an' drive it out of EC.
That's all kind of aggravating really. I mean, everyone and their grandmas knew it was a bad idea to use those servers. And guess what? It turned out to be a bad idea!! Gee, what a mothercooking surprise!! That's madness, pure and simple.
Still have crappy lag as well. This is the only reason why im okay with the campaigns taking their sweet time to come, honestly if we get campaigns next week with this nasty lag still around it will sour the experience of Arkhonas first campaign for many, imo.
I would be genuinely fine if they stopped every single development task for a couple of weeks and put everyone to work on fixing the latency. I know it doesn't work like that (different skill sets and everything) but it's a measure of how much I want it fixed. I normally average between 230 and 280 ms (although apparently I had a game the other day with 1ms) and I'm annoyed at my proper RPS moves not working and taking damage through walls or being insta-killed by a bolter.
