Well, they've 'fixed' the lag a few times before and I'm sure plenty of times before I started playing yet it is still here.
I can't understand how other games can run seamlessly (no lag) with just as many things going on if not more and turbine seemingly can't figure it out. Is it a mystery of the universe that I'll only understand when I die? Probably lol
I'll be the first to admit that I'm no programmer but I'm no automotive engineer either and I know when car is tuned and working properly.
Someone made mention of the fact that software > hardware. Why multiple instances of the marketplace etc? Is the script that botched that it's the only way their servers can handle the load? I'm not being facetious, I'm asking seriously. If that's the case then it seems the whole game needs retooling not just the combat system or twf.
