I know this will not go over well but .....
Due to the lag many people have posted that the lag is due to insufficient hardware and or Internet connection.
I play company of heros and when you go to join someones game there is a indicator bar that tells what the lowest FPS that players computer had in the last 5 games (i think).
Maybe that is what DDo needs a way for players to tell if , that computer + connection is up to par to allow for lagless play.
Sounds rough but well for some people might have to hold out on playing untell a reasonable upgrade is possible .
I find it funny that when this game came out , it was supposed to be playable on dialup, who knows maybe ddo still thinks that dialup is a ok connection medium , and allows computers real **** poor connections to connect .
Sucks when you have a game that you cant play due to a sub par computer but ..... games change and i think the min and recommended specs change over time ...
Maybe turbine needs to reevaluate what computers are allowed to connect.
