Do we need an extended server shutdown

Greeting fellow sufferers of the dreaded login/lag/cannot launch/game only loads on us proxy problems.

We have been having some pretty major problems with the game since the launch of the latest season. Now I know that we always have problems with season launches... but this one is a humdinger!

I am beginning to think that this place needs to be taken offline for whatever time is required and fixed! I know we get our usual patches but Im worried that its not going to be enough.

If they need people to do some testing during this period, im sure they could muster a group of loyal tribble users to help.

Im really not happy about proposing this idea.........but im beginning to think it may be the best course of action.

Would like other peoples thoughts on the matter.

Hang in there guys

    Today's patch is Cryptic's first attempt to resolve this issue. Hopefully it offers some improvement.

    Hope so, even reducing the lag by 20 percent will do wonders

    Today's date is the 17th Sunday and the server lag and rubberbanding hasn't gotten any better on my end. In fact it is the worst I've seen since the Risa summer event. There is lag every 30 seconds on the Kobali map! Grrr
    People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect. But actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint it's more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey ... stuff. --the Doctor, "Blink"

    Same issue, if i stand on esd and do noting i get 30ping, but as soon as i join a pve (any pve that has more then one person, solo missions are not a problem as i dont use the new spec system (cant my toon is only capt lvl)) my ping goes up to 1000 and over, if i leave the pve (warp out) it goes back down to 30ping

    today it's quite simply horrible : lag and rubberbanding , disconnects from server, crash to desktop on switching characters ( i.e. map load failing ) and this all while trying to simply do patrol missions ...can't imagine what it's like in a battlezone - well, I can , but not going to :)



    it's very clear something really drastic needs to be done to address the lag issue ( I find : "we're testing " and "trying to fix " no longer acceptable ) Many of us have spent quite some cash on this game - and are willing to spend more - so the "ah, but it's free so : no complaiing ! " is a BS argument as well.....

    I logged in yesterday, sat on esd and had 30 ping, queued for a fleet action, it poped, hit engage, went to defend the starbase from klingons, other people started shooting their new fancy lag producing gear, made me get pings of 1000+, rage quit and logged off, so yea this bug is still not fixed, tyvm cryptic!

    another update, still having the same issues, sit on esd, no lag (30 ping), join pve, people using the new stuff (spec stuff) my latency goes up to 1000 ping, leave pve (rage warp out, even cussed at the people causing the lag) back on esd, with 30 ping
