Ok we all heard about people waiting till the last second then leaving on the count down timer of queued events. They then rejoin again and do it again. Now they use sacrificial toons to join Elite and Advanced events then leave at the start so that we fail the mission. Whats up with that?

    I've had lots of random crashes it takes no time at all in these to be popped right back into the instance where I was dc'd.

    Hmm. I played the MUE last night and lagged for almost 2 minutes in the middle of it. I'm sure I looked like an afker to the team on that run :(

    Yeah, I got awful lag in one last night too. Not framerate drops -- the couldn't activate any powers or fire my weapons type of lag. Only happened once, though, so I'm not sure whether the problem was server side, on my end, or a bug with the mission itself.

    I was doing MU earlier and the game crashed but it was the 3rd time in 2 hours so i did not log back in as i was pissed off sorry if you was on my team. But crashes are doing my head in.

    I will leave in an advanced que if I realize theat a couple people are pulling 2kdps.

    then I look at the log in detail and see they are using dbb plasma, phaser turret polaron turret, antiproton cannon, and 2 different torpedos. Look further and see they use dem2 and aceton beam 3, yea.

    I hate to be an elitest, but Its called advanced for a reason.


    Unless you feel like your skills, gear and most importantly your knowledge of the game is 'advanced' - the advanced ques are not meant for you.

    Must be nice, by the time I can get back in thanks to login lag I've gotten an AFK penalty. It's not very fun to get a ctd punishment, then a 2 hour 'sit on your hands' penalty as a bonus. At least in advanced queues the whole team feels the burn too.

    That is pretty bad behaviour. First of all you shouldn't PUG then and if you do have at least the decency to help the team as good as possible. If I have two rainbow warriors in my group then I make it a challenge for myself to achieve the optionals nevertheless. But player like you are the real problem.

    There are apparently crash issues that mostly affect some people much more than others, and it started with DR, cryptic is "working" on it.
    Space the final frontier. These are the voyages of [your name here] on a five year mission to gain one level after the delta rising xp nerf.

    Wow....just wow. That's a pretty mercenary attitude, and I have to say being a **** like that will eventually come back to haunt you. Karma is a *****.

    I do join up to three que's at a time and take the first one that pops up. Never saw it being nor thought of it being labeled as " Trolling " as I couldn't decide which que to join and if I do crash, I sure the hell log back in as fast as Cryptic allows me and try to make up for it. Or double my effort when someone sods off just because the option failed, mainly to them stuffing it up and blaming the rest of the group or just sitting there.

    Should be something that AFK'ers agro enemies after 30 seconds or so to give the rest of us a bit of time to whack them. :mad:
    AFAIK, if you join 3 queues, only one of the three missions will actually include you. When you start one, the other two will see it as if you left. Before the timer pops up.

    Not sure about that one, I only see it in cases of heavy server load. Usually MU, or CE. Your controls become completely unresponsive for a while, then eventually your ship goes nuts trying to do all the stuff you told it to do while it was lagging.

    Its been happening to me alot with crazy lag. Right now the games unplayable and i cant find out why. So if i end up on a mission with you i am sorry.

    Sometimes its great for an hour but then blame 18 disconnects in 2 hours. :mad::mad::mad:

    Here I learned the intelligence of the average mod/forums poster when no one really understood my intentions, if you read this, and don't understand what my motive really was, I cannot help you.

    There could be lots of factors. As mentioned, it could be lag, it could be server not responding issues, it could be complete disconnects. But, I also agree that it could be greifers or people that are simply frustrated.

    I've been known to warp out without offering explanation before. Here's how it works out: I'll create a private match or "room" and we'll talk out the mission. Who does what and when, that sort of thing. We'll all agree to wait for hangar pets. Then, when we enter the instance, someone will take off and immediately start shooting without waiting for those of us with hanger pets.

    I'm not wasting my very valuable and limited gaming time on someone that's not willing to do what they say. So, I warp. Gone.

    Currently a lot of internet issues with Cox cable. Don't know if that's part of any problem but here in AZ speeds have been seriously terrible the last few days. I haven't queued for a while just because I don't want to lag out and TRIBBLE over any teams. Apparently it's being "worked on."
