It would help a *bit*, but there's not really much you can do about lag with 50-odd heroes and villains all spamming powers as hordes of Rikti spawn around them. Even with bikinis on and gfx turned down to "City of borderline wireframe toons", the servers can only handle so much.

Bikibis? 
You mean making a costume without a cape or aura, right?

Doesn't that include all back details though? Not just capes?
Yeah. Costumes with no Aura/Capes/Wings etc. Preferably in White. (Still have my Hamikini cossie on my Blaster)

Uh oh, problem though. Crab Spider Soldiers have a back details all the time, their back pack. And currently it doesn't dissapear even when selecting a different build path like the Bane Spider or Wolf Spider trees.

I don't think all its a server problem since I upgraded recetnly my computer and my graphic card and now I don't experience lag at Rikti raids, only have lag on Imperious TF.
It made me think that people instead of complaining about the servers they should try to upgrade their PC as best solution. It feels silly to me to blame the servers when its not the main reason...

I had a blast. Good fun. But the Lag was a bit of an annoyance. So I'm suggesting: Bring back the Hamikinis for the Mothership raids. Would that help?
