Not everyone has problems. I for one, experience this only on the very odd occasions and I think most of that is due to the huge amount of apps I have open when I play!
Scanning this thread I see very little information that the Devs can use to help identify issues; I have only seen complaints.
Please give examples of maps/missions/powers that make the lag worse. Give dates, times (plus timezone!), errors, warnings etc that you get.
Did others in your team have everything freeze up at the same time?
If so or if not, are you all in the same country? (remember not give any personal information out!).
Have you given the results of a ping test.
The more information you can give, the more the engineers have to use to try and diagnose the problems to then work out a fix.
I also saw someone mention about the Dev Tracker. The new one is in production - we will have it here as soon as we can.
This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.

Please don't make it sound as if every single post on these forums is a complaint as that clearly isn't the case. There are a great lot of us who have posted detailed information - including Cryptic error tracking numbers and such - to the appropriate bug forums here. Most all of them go unanswered, or are said to be "fixed" but aren't, or get the general "we're working on it".
Personally, I don't see the harm in asking for an update on how these issues are progressing. Something besides "we're working on it" or "MMOs are complex" and the like would be nice.
Exactly. There has been numerous, extremely detailed, traceroutes, ping tests and diagnostic output given on the forum before now. This is a call for an update on where we stand regarding this, as it is game breaking for many.
I found a post telling us like small children to submit more info quite frankly insulting, even more so from someone who starts his post off by stating how lag doesn't affect him? Wow. Just ... wow.

Thank you. I've helped with all of that at various times. That post almost seems as if it paints the forum as nothing but unhelpful, bratty whiners who have never done a bug report in our lives. Just like all the trash talk towards the forum that I pointed out on Reddit. Even if that IS the "official perception," I don't think it really reflects the truth.

"He shall be my finest warrior, this generic man who was forced upon me.
Like a badass I shall make him look, and in the furnace of war I shall forge him.
he shall be of iron will and steely sinew.
In great armour I shall clad him and with the mightiest weapons he shall be armed.
He will be untouched by plague or disease; no sickness shall blight him.
He shall have such tactics, strategies and machines that no foe will best him in battle.
He is my answer to cryptic logic, he is the Defender of my Romulan Crew.
He is Tovan Khev... and he shall know no fear."

The problem is, sometimes there just isn't anything to feed back on even if they are working hard on it, do you really want them posting on here "hey guys I'm still working on it, so far this week I've done 56 hours of staring really hard at the code to see if I can find an error, but i'll be fooked if ican find it!"

Why not? It's better than nothing.
Why bother? It just says nothing written in a more interesting way, so no it's not really better than nothing.

I'm with the Mod on this. I'm in the UK, I suffer very little rubberbanding and UI lag and pinging at 118ms. I do get FPS stalling, which is down to my laptop's limited GPU (768Mb), but that's ok most times and only affects busy maps, especially Borg Disc (The Voth ship explosion specifically), which is why when some blames FPS on the server I laugh.
On my trace route, I don't see Cogento anywhere, so maybe Cryptic needs to stick the boot in there??

Maybe, but they need to hurry up. After MONTHS some people are going to give up sooner rather than later. But yeah, sure they are working on it.. (zzzz). Im pretty sure that is not what they are working on it.. (but the next shiny group of ships, yeah i have powers i know what are they working on).
And btw... what info has been posted in the forums???? people is complaining precisely because there is NO info about the status of the lag problem.
Scanning this thread I see very little information that the Devs can use to help identify issues; I have only seen complaints.
So you are saying we can't complain anymore? I read that as we are a bunch of ungrateful, unhelpful adolescents. That is the purpose of the forums. The definition of forum is "a place, meeting, or medium where ideas and views on a particular issue can be exchanged." So get over it. we are expressing our views in this thread. Currently our views aren't positive. But his is your chance to calm the natives so to speak give us some quantifiable details IN THE OFFICIAL FORUMS. Don't make us search the internet for some cryptic quote from a DEV. (see what I did there?)
I submit bug reports and issues in game. I get no responses there other than the automated mail. I for one would be quite happy with some details behind "we're working on it" Ie something like this.
"We've identified that the powers X Y and Z are causing 3x the server load than similar powers due to <insert reason>. We are current revamping the process within the server that executes these server requests and we anticipate that we will have this fix done in the next two weeks. We are also going to be examining that graphics display for powers, A B and C as we THINK this is causing client side lag etc etc etc."
Just telling us that you are working on it in this day and age where more and more of your players are knowledgeable in the software development process doesn't work.
Give us good answers and stop being condescending to your player base.
Nah, midniteshadow7 have no idea at all. Lol, the forum is filled with tracers everywhere but absolutely no info about the problem from cryptic's part. Just dont read what he writes.. he is obviously defending cryptic for some weird reason..

Well if this doesn't stink of self-righteous ignorance I don't know what does.
As plenty enough folks have said already, there are plenty of us reporting and trying to get the issues in this game dealt with, and that goes for everything. This lag issue has been going on for ages, it isn't unreasonable that we ask for an official thought on the matter if nothing else especially with how prevalent it is. If you can't find the information that others have been posting not just about the lag but other issues as well, might I recommend you step down as a mod seeing as you apparently don't possess the required skill set?
Ten soldiers wisely led will beat a hundred without a head. - Euripides
I no longer do any Bug Hunting work for Cryptic. I may resume if a serious attempt to fix the game is made.

Since some of us don't want to be pressured into signing up for social media (example: Book of Losing Face ), this is definitely helpful.

Exactly. Or are we now supposed to violate forum rules by spamming every thread with the exact same material and post?
I run an $1900 desktop monster, have an insane internet connection and this is the only game I have any issues with at all. I feel safe in saying it's them not me.
