please take your game down for a week or so and fix your busted server

Tired of the constant d/c's, not being able to get to character login screen, LAG and other issues just take the server down for a couple of weeks to fix the problems before you release Strongholds.

    That would mean updsting their servers and the core the game is built upon. You can go to any website (obviously besides this one) where the company's own devs well tell you the management is horrible (seriously they will) so that's never going to happen.

    no ..... then i will miss out on the water horse :(
    There are more than BIS players in this game
    RIP Real Tiamat, RIP Real Demogorgon RIP real Temple of the spider. Why remove non bis content to give to bis players ????
    FORCING the majority of your player base to play 4 mod old dungeons and trial will have a bad result on player base
    Changes are getting so bad i would rather prefer no new changes (RIP ICE FISHING in winter fest)

    Funny how my other 2 mmos I play have no issues only this one and at least a handful of people I kow in game also have these issues. NONE of these issues started UNTIL Mod 6 was released.

    The amount or rubber banding ,for me atleast, have dramatically reduced over the last few months. So they are doing something right

    I would understand this action and accept it.

    I do not have the best computer and my ISP is sketchy and the ONLY one available in my area. That being said, I have played other MMOs with no problems during my search for one I would enjoy. That included beta testing ESO from the beginning of beta.

    Saying that it is ISP or computers has been proven NOT to be the issue.

    People do realise that not all mmo's and online games in the world are hosted at the same data-centre right? So the connection route between your computer and Game A is going to be different to the connection route to Game B. Just because you can connect fine to one doesn't mean that you should have no problems connecting to the other.

    This.

    We haven't been saying "it's your ISP or your computer". Most of the time anyone who's asked has been told it's the route between the two--which travels over infrastructure controlled by SEVERAL ISPs and/or trunk providers. Doesn't matter how fast your connection is advertised to be or how much you paid for it or your PC--your connection is ultimately only as good as its weakest link in actual practice.

    And, as said above, no two games' data travels over the same route, nor is it a matter of your PC --> game server with nothing in between. Your data has to pass through several relays and signal repeaters to get to the servers--else your data would be lost to signal attenuation long before it got there.

    Agreed with last post, but when you play lag-free til boss, and then all 5, random player from all around the world, start to have brutal lag in boss fight... I'm sorry, but stop saying it's "ISP, node, your provider, connexion, etc." problem. Last year I was blaming Cogentco for high pings, but now it's definitely not their fault IMO.

    I've started having times of severe rubber banding since Mod 6. Only in this game. In fact, over the years, I've probably been lucky. The only time I've had rubberbanding happen to where it's at times unplayable has been... in Neverwinter and in CoH. Oddly enough, both Cryptic games.

    The only thing I do not understand is why PW reroutes PC's though an Xbox IP.

    Sooner or later, regardless of where you're coming from, you're going to run along common segments. Therefore--even from random players--the cause can still be a faulty or slow relay. Also, in many cases like that, it could also be graphical lag. Without a traceroute, or any sort of diagnostics, or a description of exactly what you're experiencing (just saying "I'm lagging!!" doesn't help with determining whether your issue is graphical or network-related) there's not much to go on to rule out different things.

    Latency and lag are caused by a list of factors a mile long. Unfortunately, many people just want someone to point a finger at and say "YOU'RE causing my problem!!"

    This would be reasonable, if mobs, AoEs etc. would continue to attack or make dmg, bc the game would go on normal and the delay is somewhere else. Thats not the case most of the times. If I cant move, mobs dont move, AoEs dont hit/ make dmg, it is a server lag imo. I am not a programmer, so if someone can argue, that this can happen with stable servers, plz elaborate.

    The lag wouldn't be as bad if the game engine was at least decent. I'm getting another fps drop on preview in Mod 7. It's trending into the wrong direction.
