how odd is it

to have a double xp weekend and not see at least freedom full up?

What's funny is I still couldn't log in on Saturday. Kept getting db disconnect error with Freedom at 2 yellow circles.

I think they had some issues they rolled out an emergency patch saturday for stability.

Well, I'm out. After not being able to log in on Sunday either, both of my accounts have been cancelled. I'm done with this pathetic excuse for a game. Freedom has been completely unplayable due to lag ever since I15 came out, and it's becoming clear that nothing is going to be done about it.

Thanks for everything Jimmay. You're one of the coolest guys in this history of this game.

I didn't have huge issues with lag (and i sit in lol Germany with retarded 2mbit/sec connection :x) however i agree it was very odd not to see Freedom grey like all last dbx - irony?

AE is still there every day for all your pling needs, 2xp made it stupidly fast but you can still get levels crazy fast on any given pug. also, you have to remember we just got over a bunch of "exploits" that allowed alot of people to fill up their server with 50s anyway.

They upgraded the hardware on most of the servers a while back to avoid Freedom filling up like last DXP weekend but the login server and DB server were ******** themselves most of the weekend (even though Freedom wasn't near population cap, the DB server would crap out and you'd get kicked back to the login screen when trying to get to your characters).

I never saw more than 2 instances of Atlas on freedum either, which isn't that unusual, but then you factor in that pretty much everyone is in Atlas post MA and it makes you wonder if very many people were around for the event... or are around at all anymore...

I look at every zone and they are mostly empty with everyone in Atlas, Steel, and Talos (mostly Atlas though). And then even Atlas isn't full very often (laggy as hell though).

I can only imagine the ghost town that the other servers are. Any ideas what current population numbers are at? I'm worried that regardless of how good CO is or isn't it will push this game well below 100k (if it isn't there already) and the doom siren's will sound outside of the forums (ie game sites).

GR is going to have to do something amazing to get people to unplug from the simulators in MA and doing something other than farming bosses/luts'

Since I15 i cant even come to RV it lags for me so bad. Ticks me off to cuz i was having a blast, but now its like the 3rd mission of the ITF. Well not that bad but close.

Yeah.

Should I assume you just dont have the money for a new computer? If you're having lag issues as bad as you say, your box must be steam powered. My computer is over a year old now and I play on max graphics with no lag ever in Freedom RV or anywhere else.

I have a top of the line PC. It's 100% a server issue. Everything runs perfectly fine on other servers. No lag at all. Freedom is completely unplayable.

I'm gettin the same issue, i run triumph, my home server without lag even in the middle of a rikti moship raid with 6 thug mms on my team without a hint of lag, but i log into the fiteklub station in freedom RV and i get hit by random lag spikes from the depths of hell

For me it's not lag spikes. It's constant, absolutely insane lag. Actually it's more like packet loss. It seems I'm literally not getting like 60% of the packets or something. Hence why absolutely everything on my screen (including NPC's) teleports all around the map.

I'll be following a guy that's 30 feet in front of me, suddenly he's 50 feet behind me, then next to me, then 20 feet above me....and then 100 feet in front of me. Basically I have no clue where anybody is at any time. I've put up with it since the day I15 came out. It started on that exact day...was perfectly fine before. There's no doubt in my mind that there is something they released in I15 that's causing this issue.

But there's zero point to what I know. I know with 100% certainty that if I send a bug report about it, they'll just say what that hamster guy said....that I should get a new comp. So it's easier to just cancel my subscriptions, which I did.

Maybe it is internet? But again i have ****** inet and relative old computer and for most part i am fine unless i run farm with uber mobs on my plant (*hint* creepers *hint*) dom (one could say it is just me but my whole team freezes at the same time) or when cloud of 8 MMs passes by in RV. I blame AE, since i14 came out this weird lags started.

I blame i13 because that's when everything ****** happened.

Like frost elf d transferring to freedom and bringing her eu cousins.
