Awesome time regardless.

18m12s? Nice time.

Only way we could have done it any faster would be to have killed the 300 Romans faster but the lag (on the two runs we did) was horrible right from the start of the 4th mission. Power key lag was very disappointing. I'm sure that with no lag at all, we could have shaved a minute off our time - or that's what I'm telling myself. But the ITF has been plagued by lag (at least on Defiant) for as long as it's been around.

However, we now know what time we need to beat!

(Unless anyone knows any different!)

No, I agree with you, power lag makes a big difference. It's not so bad fighting the generals/computer but can get really awful fighting Rom which is where it really counts.

I'd say it makes a difference of at least 30-90 seconds, if not more. If you think about it, it grinds the team down to like one power every 5-10 seconds. Not to mention screwing with perception of recharges on important powers.

But yeah, ITF has always been plagued with lag on all servers AFAIK. Some patches it gets better, some patches it gets worse. I think its due to the huge amounts of ambushes that get spawned all the time. I don't get why the Devs don't just vastly cut down on the number of ambushes and just increase the spawns standing around.

Huge ambushes are epic, playing a slideshow is not.
