You're right, clearly we need more than that to combat lag, hmm...

NEW TO DDO!:

Public area alert! In the effort to reduce lag running through a public area will trigger a public area alert, resulting in slower movement and the "harried" status effect!

Tired of loot generation lag? Well no more! Loot free chests will now replace chests in lag prone areas. As a bonus: no longer will you have to worry about filling bags with shroud loot!

DPS lag will also be eliminated by eliminating DPS. All combat will now take place in the form of a staring contest. Hearts of wood are available in the DDO store for those that need to re-spec their characters to the new stare-combat model.

I would just like to point out that the twf nerf was gonna happen anyway but they took the opportunity to remove some causes of lag... the nerf was not to fix lag.

Continuing on that train of thought the only things going to be nerfed are already in the works to get shot down.

The recent lag most servers are experiencing I am willing to bet is hardware related due to the population increase... only way to fix that is to provide more servers and upgrade hardware.

Also, lets change taverns and airships to instance one player at a time, no more pvp (not even staring contests), lag fixed.

Oh, and all trash mobs will be kobolds, further reducing lag. Also mentioning lag in General will auto DC you, reducing stress on your server.



EDIT: The nerfs don't affect me really, but coming up with funny *** ways to fix lag sounded fun to me.

I didn't even have any twf toons at the time of that nerf, I just found it funny that at first they said it was to combat lag, then they said it was to combat lag and a slight nerf. Then, most recently they say it was meant to be a nerf all along and also; take care of some lag issues.
