LOST CONNECTION TO MAP SERVER!

Okay, I dont know about you guys but I can't get on to the game long enough to report that I am constantly getting kicked off the server!!!

First problem was I enter Boomtown through the gate in Steel and I get my login screen.

I go to use my powers like heal, clear mind and RAs and they have LAG! I tried hitting the number key it was registered too and clicking it with the mouse, on average i found selecting it about 10x usually encourages it to work or lose connection.

Then I am trying to talk in team channel or private messages and my typing has LAG! Then sending the message has LAG! Then I am not recieveing tells back which I can only assume is because they were sent when I had LOST CONNECTION TO MAP SERVER.

After half an hour of this, apologising to friends, re-joining teams, getting past a laggy loading screen and reconnecting from more than the tenth time in half an hour I decide i will log the bug this time....

Only to log back into the game to a screen that says 'Lost connection to map server'

I am sure you can understand why at that point I decided enough is enough and came onto the forum to have a moan and see how the rest are you are coping with lag that seems worse than I ever experienced on COV!

It's not just you. My lag was atrocious. Somehow the team I did Citadel with managed to bear with my slowness, not to mention the stupidly long zoning times. Didn't have time to explain all this to my second team before I lost the connection, at which point I got fed up and couldn't be bothered trying to log back in. So apologies to the team Tarah joined, but the PC wasn't playing ball.

I used to steer clear of COV due to the lag problem. Hopefully COH won't go the same way...

A lot of other players are in the same boat as you, and normally after a new issue comes out, there's a few problems with server wide lagging and downtime with map discons all over the place, BUT!

However as of today, this patch has been deemed as a more pressing need.......

I have the disconnecting problem, but no lag. It happens waaaay to often. I thought it was my internet connection (I have wireless, and it keeps disconnecting because of interference from wireless phones). I take it not all of you (if any) have wireless?

I'm with you on this one, I already did a thread on this even before I7 was released.

Sounds sort of familiar...I seem to remember, not so long ago, they panicked and rushed through a patch to cure a game destroying bug that awarded players a little more exp than they should have received. Never mind the bugs that ruined gameplay for the paying customers though (which we still have to put up with), they obviously weren't deemed important enough

If you see the truth, spread the word. Someone in Cryptic needs to wake up and smell the coffee.
