Cool!

I don't think the reason he did it was to be able to use dual pistols. He/she just wanted to show that it was possible to make a MM without pets. The pistols is just for fun I guess.

City of Warcraft, 1 Hero's Burning Crusade, Wrath of the Statesman. Nah I'm good with 50 being the max level. I enjoy my toon's so much that I keep on playing them even when they have hit 50

As I said between playing CoX I play EQ2, EvE, WoW, (very little but it happens). I don't accept that CoX would be heavier on the load then EQ2 for example. And I assure you that SF4 is far more heavy on your computer when you have every single setting maxed out.

I can even play Crysis with everything on high. The problem is not my computer, everything in CoX is maxed out and I do not experience any issues with performance drops.
My problem is the connection to the server and in some maps like Pocket D. Pocket D got a strange lag when I turn the camera in a specific angle when I'm standing in a specific corner. It's in a corner in the hero bar. Somtimes I get delayed when I run over the dance floor but not always.

Comparing this to not have connection problems with any other MMO that I'm playing.
A problem with my router or something like that would have been an easy fix but i've already tried that out and there's nothing wrong with my router or my connection speed.
And again as I said before I am a EU resident that always play on US servers (stupid in a way but I have my reasons) and I have not experienced any lag in any other MMO. It's an issue that I have only with CoX.

Edit: running around the major cities in CoH yesterday I found that while standing behind some buildings (don't remember exactly which buildings) and turning the camera makes the game lag a little bit.

I may sound very negative but I do love this game. The lag is frustrating. And the "you shouldn't aggro too much mobs" is just dumb. Why is it my fault that the servers can't handle if you aggro too much mobs? If it's an custom AE map I can agree that the players is to blame, but now and then I lag if a tank in the team goes around aggroing 3 enemy groups on the same time and foot stomps on a regular mission with settings +4.

You know that this isn't true right? Blizzard has been very efficient to keep on upgrading their graphics over the years. Just take a look at the graphics between WoW, Burning Crusade and WOTLK. It's a huge difference from player models to mobs to buildings and landscapes.

this.

And I can add in that I could run The Matrix Online (until it was shut down) without any problems with the rig I had back in the days. MXO's graphics was a lot more detailed then CoX and more intense to draw up. A lot of players had problems with getting MXO to run at good fps when it was new, because of the requirements was too high and advanced for a lot of the old technology that we had back then. It was a game that was before it's time. You talk about clothing separated from the body.. well just take a look at good old MXO!
Heck, I can mention that even Star Wars Galaxies ran like a charm for me when it prospered.

Now I'm playing a 6 year old game on new hardware that run SF4, LoL and WoW without any problem and in CoX which again is a 6 year old game I have conn lag issues during big maps and in an almost empty Pocket D!? Explain!

Edit: missions didn't lag today *yay!* a Pocket D populated by 5 player characters still lags though... It might have something to do with the light effects or it might have something to do with the npc characters... I don't know yet..

So is it that strange that I am worried of the lag that may come with Going Rogue..?

this is absurd...

So in the end the lag is the players fault because we aggro too many spawns?

booo...

Well I ain't got a monster machine. My rig is; Mac Mini Late 2009, 4 gigs dd3 ram, nvidia 9400M and a 2.53GHz intel core 2 duo but it's more then enough to handle the games I play without any hassle. As I'm also in Os X 10.6 there should be no problem at all with memory needed to run CoX. Especially taking in consider what I said before; that a 25 man raid in WoW with most of the settings maxed out, some on high and medium draw distance doesn't even make my Mac Mini break a sweat (yes it stutters some in Dalaran but that place is so damn zerged).

I love CoX. Would they only adress this issue I would love it even more then I already do. Hopefully GR won't suffer from the same tearinesss

Aye, recently the game has started to lag as h*** for me when I'm in a team. In Arachnos bases it's dreadful. In other big maps and office maps it's bareable. What happens is that I don't just have delay for a sec or so, I can't MOVE, attack or do anything at all lately! And when it doesn't lag as much I still have that damn irritating small delay lag which makes my toon look like I'm afk and that pisses everyone off.

More then often I get dced because of all the lag. Yesterday when I was farming with my SG I got dced every 15 minutes. Doesn't matter if i'm on wifi or wired.
My computer doesn't suffer from this in any other mmo I'm playing (Aion, EvE, War, EQ2, WoW) so please devs, FIX IT!!!

It's correct that I'm a europe citizen who is playing on the US virtue server. But I play on US servers in those other MMO's I mentioned earlier above as well, where I've yet to lag! A couple of these MMO's have far higher system requirements than CoX and hundreds of more active players so my location and my internet connection is not the issue.

CoX is an instance based game just like Guild Wars which works flawlessly during missions and even in pvp zerged instances or events so what the f*** is CoXs problem?! A 25-player raid in WoW with 10folds of buffs, a lot of animations at the same time, several AOE's and healing/damage numbers floating around everywhere doesn't lag a single bit while a small 8 man instanced mission in CoX lags a**? I fail to see the logic..

If it lags like this now, what will happen when Going Rogue hits the store and more people probably will buy subscriptions? Lagfestalicious?

If I'm needed you can find me dancing to DJ Zero or drinking sambuca and flatliners in the bar at Pocket D till this lag gets riddled out...

aight ty

Btw will this keep spamming the text as long as I hit the key or will the text only appear when the power is recharged and ready for activation?

Cool pic! OOT, what's the costume pieces that you are wearing? Is it lvl 50 unlockables?

showoff

Thousand thanks for the informative answer
