    I appreciate that the Devs are telling us that you are addressing this issue. For a lot of members, there is rubberbanding all over the sector map, and I can't wait to see that lessened or eliminated.

    They tend to speak in Pacific Standard Time for most operation. That would be 11 AM GMT.

    I see, now how long is this maintenance going to last?

    I've been experiencing rubber banding in all parts of the game since beta. I hope their fix applies to all of the locations!

    Rubber banding has been pretty bad the last week or so. Thanks for the update and hopefully the fixes do the trick.

    I have sent bug reports on this issue since 1/31/10 and all havent been looked at. Just like they said before 1/16/10 that they had server equipment on expedited order and we still havent seen anything done yet.:mad:

    Good to hear but i will not be cheering till i see it really fixed. It is all over sector travel i.e alpha beta blah blah quadrents of maps and sectors. I really hope the fix is real and does work but im sceptical really.

    Hopefully today's patch fixes this but I've still been noticing it throughout the Admiral level sectors and other sectors when they appear busy.

    Good to hear its being addressed.

    Even better to not hear 'its your ISP go away' like most would do.

    Sector Space has turned into the new Lemuria from Champions Online. I hope the rubber banding gets sorted out a lot quicker here.

    I hope it works, those rubber bands in my warp core just aren't as efficient as dilithium. :p

    Hopefully this will be fixed for all zones and instances. We had this really, really, yes really bad in a zone call Lumuria.

    It was so bad people tried to avoid the zone completely but it was needed for the final push to top level.

    The community ended up calling it Lagmuria and it took several months of complaining before it was even addressed.

    I have not been in Champions recently to see if it was ever truly improved for that zone.

    As a question, was your fix intended to fix ALL rubber-banding, or only the rubber-banding that was caused by server side issues?

    I ask just because I experienced a very small amount of rubber banding after the patch--nowhere near as much as before, thankfully--and so I'm just not sure if that was due to the patch not catching everything, or if in this case it was just my ISP. (I do have to deal with Qwest in a rural mountain area in Colorado...)

    Just so everyone is abit more aware of the situation.

    http://forums.startrekonline.com/showthread.php?t=110605&goto=newpost

    Is a thread where i have repeatedly raised this issue. There is a DEV response in there stating they have been undergoing continual server upgrades and didnt think it warranted letting us know.

    Well ... as others have asked, are you fixing some peoples instances? Or are you fixing the problem with it happening everywhere across the server?

    EDIT: Just thought id add that i would LOVE to submit a bug report every time this has happened to me, however they are so frequent (IE. Non - Stop) that due to lag i am unable to submit bug reports on the subject.

    Rubber banding has almost vanished for me since the update so a big thanks to the devs. The big test will be the weekend so fingers crossed.
