Game issues getting to be a nightmare

croupboi

I would like to state from the off that i am in no way an expert.

I have played this game from beta and i am reaching my breaking point with the severe issues this game is experiencing and the apparent lack off response from whoever should be dealing with it.
Yes i am talking about the severe lag issues/rubber banding.
One min im fine in a battle then the next i jump back to where i came from and either miss things ie goals or die.
on previous threads i and many others have submitted traces which constantly show the problem is one place before it even reaches the cryptic servers.
When oh when will the developers stop letting an outside supplier ruin the game and actually do something about it, if a company is not providing the service to a satisfactory standard then take the business elsewhere.
The issues in this game are making it a nightmare to play at times and this is when the game is quiet.. come the Christmas event and this is going to be unplayable.

Please please please get this problem sorted.. it has been going far too long as it is.

Pretty sure Cryptic is not required to keep us informed on issues such as this and how they are addressing it. However I do believe they do appreciate any data players can give them, as it adds more ammo for them to work with.

As for it being a quiet period in the game... doesn't feel like it with the back to back events. I WISH it was quiet as I have a growing case of Event Fatigue.

I never said they were required to keep us informed but when you have an ongoing issue and the developers are not keeping you informed on if there even doing anything should send you to red alert

I also mean quiet period as in not many active players on at any one time.. no where near as busy as it used to be

The issue seems to be with Akami, which aggregates a lot of Web activity into its security filters and routing service and is more of a general internet issue as large infrastructure companies stake out their own Web empires and corrupt the original dispersed structure concept of the Web, rather than just STO. In fact, lately in a lot of games with both US and EU servers the relative latency has reversed and the EU servers are often faster than the NA ones for US players.

Companies like Akami make one way push content faster but often degrades rapid two-way traffic like games, and STO apparently is situated in a place/service structure that routes through Akami. Like a lot of experts said during the early net neutrality arguments, the web is slowly corrupting into a sort of cable TV / cellphone network service structure like thing as the corporations take it over and turn it to their own purposes and the original university / dispersed small self-host/user based concept erodes away.
