Ah... I10 is quite fun.
Although the lag can be obnoxious it is just as bad as trying to get to the Black Market sometimes. Try turning off other peoples effects in your adv. graphics options and switching to First Person View when you are running to join in on the fun. That seems to help me out.
Unfortunately I'm not high enough level yet to get into the warzone fun. Hopefully soon though.
The Rikti models look great. As do the new costumes.
I don't see the problem with the red admin chat. I don't think of it as spam.
My only complain with the issue is that the rikti are waaaaaayyyy easy. Just chillaxing with my four minions they pulled a slaughterhouse 9 on everything that jumped me. Worst that happened was nobody killed the monkey so I shot it twice. Way easy.
Well that and why are the bombs so hard to kill? It was like the time I tried to solo deathsurge for kicks. I might as well have been making a sandwich cuz nothing was going on. Then eventually it blows everything up. Very unfun.
Also either I'm really lucky or you devs significantly upped the dropping of costume pieces. Gotten two in the last couple hours of play which is more than my last week.
