Do you Devs actually know that the game is lagging for everybody and hate everywhere?
or you guys know nothing?
something tells me this going to be a problem for a loong time....
Hope I am wrong.

Although it is just an Anniversary. Good thing it is for a game. One like this for a marriage can't end well.
Yes they know, it'll die off eventually. But did you really feel the need to create another thread on this issue?

a) they're too cheap to buy servers that can handle the load,
b) they can't code and there's an errors that consuming resources, causing the bandwidth leak, or
c) everything is working as intended?
A lot of them were probably in the office until 10:00 last night, but I doubt that they were celebrating.
The short answer to that is, yeah.
What I find really, honestly, disturbing is that there are extremely little official communication after the launch of the 5th. It's like they turned on the servers and went in to hiding, expecting the storm to come.
I am a business-owner and I sat here, last night before I went to bed, and thought if any of my employees did this they would not be doing their job right. If it is a product launch, or a celebratory launch, people still got jobs to do and some of those are to communicate with the customers and make sure everything is going smooth and as planned. If I, as the CEO, had allowed this to happen I'd be the laughingstock of my peers.
Then again I live in northern Europe, perhaps our business practice differs a lot compared to how it is done there.
IIRC the game servers are on the East coast, while Cryptic is on the West coast, so it's odds on that they, like many games, don't own their own game servers, and instead rent space on large server farms.
You should be able to fix your boff powers at the stations window. Boffs now default to their original powers, but whatever you trained them with is still there, you just have to select it.
This is no excuse. at all. They have employees who's job is to manage and inform the customers. If these people are not doing that, they are not working. If these people are working with something else they are not doing their job.
They knew it was unfinished and not working on Tribble. The rubberbanding wasn't there because no one was there to rubberband but a lot of, if not all of, the rest of the problems they were working a double to fix were there weeks ago and reported.
Rubberbanding is just the very tip of the iceberg poking out of the sea of storms.
If they properly implemented the changes in the code, you could up that instance limit to 100 and never see a stutter or rubberband snap.
On day X, everything is fine. On day X+1, it's gone to pot in one of the worst ways ever.
The only change? 2 or 3 small glowing spinning icons on the map. If they added those soooooo poorly that the game code turns to utter TRIBBLE because of them? That's just shoddy work. Honestly, shoddy shoddy work. There's unoptimized and then there's just "trying to sabotage your own game" levels of code.
This definitely falls into the latter.
I modified the infographic with a few tongue in cheek comments and they closed the thread down because they don't like their shortcomings (the vast many that there are) being pointed out.
Then it took me about 10 minutes to get back the exchange because i always got pushed back 5-10 meters.
6 minutes to get to the ship selector and 8 minutes to select my APU cruiser, upgrade it and discard the old weapons
i think the rubberbanding is mostly down to weight of trafic on the servers i dont think there is much they can do to fix it, bar lowering the number of players that can be active and we dont want that, it no fun waiting in line to get a place especially if you have limited time to play.
i think if it was the case that they don't like their shortcomings being pointed out they would close the whole forum, more likely that you modified their infographic is why they shut you down.
When I think about everything we've been through together,
maybe it's not the destination that matters, maybe it's the journey,
and if that journey takes a little longer,
so we can do something we all believe in,
I can't think of any place I'd rather be or any people I'd rather be with.
I would agree with the cause of the rubber banding, but DR had almost no lag when launched. So they could have prevented this whole mess, but as usual Craptic messed it all up.
dont get me wrong i was right royaly miffed last night when i couldnt get the ship because of that stupid particle game, i only needed the 40 to complete the project.
thank goodness its working ok now.
but the rubberbanding though awful can be worked through if you are persistant and its not as bad in some locations as it is in ESD.
though not as good as it should be it could be a lot worse.
