Is the end in sight?

[Bacab]

I get what he's saying.

DDO has made a TON of money lately. I would really like to see that money re-invested back into the product.

I still think DDO is *THE* best MMO out there (for me). I do think the new Star Wars game looks amazing, but its still 18 months (atleast) away.

I am not a computer programmer. But maybe someone at Turbine needs to take the game cartridge out and blow on it and then re-insert it. That always worked on my Nintendo.

But seriously there were huge bugs with this (every) update. This type of stuff did not fly in FFXI and I doubt it flies in WoW (never played long enough to know...found it boring). I would just like a better form of QA and QC.

I re-iterate...I love DDO and will keep playing it...would just like it to fix some known issues..ladders anyone?

[Tarnoc]

I had an educated response for this... but you are from Canada.

Lag is a part of every MMO. Delete your Toon now, the lag is never going to go away.

Canada lags...

so im curious wat kinda dial up AOL you use as most of canada is using fiber optics.....

[Lifeblood]

Ok, thanks for the input. Glad you are still enjoying the game. Once again, this update has done nothing to fix lag, in fact, making it worse.

!

we ran an elite Shroud and an Elite Hound last night
I experienced Zero Lag in the sub, zero lag in the Hound
and Zero Lag in the Shroud

Not saying there is no lag but I have not seen any in the usual places

[Arcticwarrior]

yes.... DOOOOOOM!!!!1!!1!!!!one!!!

How do I explain to a Canadian how Canada lags? its like talking to the dog sure they like the attention, but they have no idea what you are saying.

This ^^.

I have seen a dramatic improvement in the lag, including in the sub, the shroud, and tod.

There are only a couple of worlds that I would like to see in an MMO, and only one of them is owned by WotC; the first is Greyhawk,

Yes, I'd like to see an MMO set in Greyhawk too. Also I have heard of DM's putting the original Ravenloft / Barovia module (as opposed to a Ravenloft gameworld, which I have never heard of) within Greyhawk, in the Earldom of Sterich, in the foothills of the Crystalmists and Tors.

[Wurmwood]

I have played shroud tethered to my cellphone with about 2-3 bars. Was laggy about 45% of the time. Then I played on a dsl connection, and shroud lagged pretty much 90% of the time. Weird. Anyway, Im with ya on the tired of being lied to. Cant wait for Copernicus to come out.

I did Shroud and TOD. Till part 4 of shroud there was no lag for me(well only running to the chests lol) but from part 4 to the end and in TOD I had lag, while others were saying they didn't so might be good to look into your connection as it might not only be Turbine fault.

[Ashurr]

So yeah, I +1'd ya for having the stones to post this tuna-smelling drivel on Khyber.


Hej Welkomin

WALL OF TEXT WARNING!

Hey. What can I say. I'm not a troll(well maybe a little). or a rep farmer(well maybe a little). My thoughts......

Is the end in sight? What do I mean by that? Do I mean an end to nerfs? There hasn't been any nerfing from the latest mod, hel*, or previous mods, can't be that. All for the betterment of the game.

Do I mean the end of lag in DDO? No. The last shroud run I ran was filled with lag, from part 1, right to the end of part 5. Never seen it so bad since U5. Just ran a VOD, same bullsh*t as always, lag galore! But it never has been or will be from now on, according to our online masters! The same as I can remember since, I can't recall.

Maybe I'm talking about the end of throwing my money at a company that doesn't give a rat's *ss about it's costumers. Yeah, that's it.

Why the lies? Haven't seen an improvement in this game for a loooooooooooooooong time. Just more getting boned, spend your TP's on fixing your toons that have been pushed over the stump, kind of stuff.

Well, I'm going to be maybe the first(probably not) to say this game has gone in the sh*tter over the last 2 years, from the vast and mysterious(sorry about your little tiff with Atari, not my problem), to the latest promise of fixing lag, only costing you your left arm(mention for TWF's) for nothing in return.

Tired of the bullsh*t from Turbine. The game is broken. Why would a company spend money to improve a game that so many people enjoy, without question? Whatever! I'm asking questions now. When do you plan on fixing this game once and for all? Or do you? Is it a matter or how many people do we let go before we improve it enough to stop the mass exodus, for now? Or is the unquestioning F2P players turnstile going to keep you afloat? 1 in, 1 out, no net loss.

From my post, I hope you good people at Turbine can see I'm just about done, and when I say done, I don't just mean being a VIP, but playing your game in general(I won't be re-subbing, or paying to play). Don't worry, already paid for the guildships in advance out of my own pocket. I think I have enought TP's to pay for the upgrade in astral diamonds for the big guildship on my own. Sorry, no money to be made there.

The jist of this thread, FIX LAG! QUIT SCREWING AROUND! Open up your bandwith, rewrite some or all of your code to make it run smoother, invest your mass wealth in some new servers. The line of we have invested in new servers don't cut it! You can't throw $50 at a $500 problem and expect it to go away!

In closing, I'm not trolling. don't care to hear about the door hitting my as* on the way out. Hey, I have enjoyed the game for 4 years. But enough is enough. In the same way I feel sorry for typewriter companies that have gone ti*'s up due to the PC and printer. If you don't want to invest in your product, you will go by the wayside.

Nothing in life is about pure profit. Put some of your mass wealth back into the game and people who pay for it, directly or indirectly, and enjoy it.

You want my stuff? Ask me in October when my sub runs out. May or may not be on between then and now.

Hope those guys talking about putting Forgotten Realms aren't as big as a bunch of boneheads as I've read about.

You want my business, show me you care about me.

Comments, thoughts, suggestions? Fire away! Or just throw rep, pos or neg. Why do I care.

tl;dr

I haven't lagged yet....piked quite a bit, but not lagged.

Piking = not contributing to a quest in a meaningful way

what do you call it when the "piker" is in the kitchen eating stirfry and someone else is playing their toon?

I call the one eating the stir fry a smart player

And Lag? Haven't seen any over the last 2 days of playing. I made sure not to be on during the first 2 days of U5...

[ArichValtrahn]

Maybe its just me, but there appear to be more lag complaints coming from Khyber users than any other server.

[Ashurr]

That's cause Khyber gets twice the amount of Server "PMS Time" than the rest, everynight...between 4-6 am EST...when I'm questing...and just about to pull an Eardweller....*grumbles*

How do I explain to a Canadian how Canada lags? its like talking to the dog sure they like the attention, but they have no idea what you are saying.

You should go wiki NORAD or look up the impact of computers on the Oil industry in north America or something...it would be a start to remotely having any idea what you are talking about.

And op is clearly talking about serverside lag anyways.........
