Is the end in sight?

[steelrock]

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.

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...

Point is, lag has been worse since Monday, and on the slide for forever and a day over the last 2 years. Come see our igloos when you have a chance!

Do your self a favor:
1) quit DDO
2) play WOW
3) come back to DDO

Come see our igloos when you have a chance!

Um... no.

But seriously lag is lag my man, and no matter what game you play online it will be there.

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.

Point being, the new and improved everyone has been waiting on since, well as long as I can remember, hasn't happened. Just pushing buttons to see if it will change. 2 years and more is long enough to put up with a poor product.

As I said, not looking for a door in ass response, but thanks anyways.

And the penguins are mating now. Come check it out!

I guess i was shooting for the grass is always greener on the other side, not really a "KK BAI, CAN I HAZ YER LOOTZ?"

Thanks for adding another reason to stay out of Canada.

heh, yah... with so many new games coming out, DDO is in jeopardy unless they can up their A-game
pretty sure DDO would just about die when D3 comes out at the rate this is going

[TWDiggs1980]

Lag isn't gone thats for sure as to it being worse can't say I agree with you there personally it feels like it is running "a little" smoother to me. Tell me more about this Forgotten Realms MMORPG so I can say goodbye to Ebberon so many better worlds to run DDO in don't know why Turbine choose Eberron.

yet you post a rant about how turbine cant produce a decent game, despite the fact there are many people, myself included, that still enjoy the game.

not only that, you posted it on the khyber forums.

Hi Welcome

You can still enjoy the game while detesting lag. The lag IS worse. The fixes and nerfs didn't work(that was their main purpose if you remember). I am someone who still thinks the game is amazing, but thinks they really dropped the ball with this one. I agree, sometimes you ahve to spend money to make money. If new people come in and can barely get anything done due to lag, then what kind of impression does it give them... would you spend your money on this game if it was your first time or day playing it? I love the game because I have invested time and made friends here. Someone who has not done that... well...

I can totally understand your frustrations as well as a lot of other people's OP.......it's only been a few days tho....so modifications will be made.

I have to honestly say nothing since U5 has been put in has made me want to quit.....and they are active on the hotfixes.

Just have to wait and see what happens IMO.....this game still rocks.....and I really believe the so called "build breakers" are not really all that.

I have a WIND IV monk and a Kensei 20 fighter.......I still enjoy them as much as I did before. I honestly find the MT change refreshing as I usually only need 2-3 different weapons for a given quest. The guild leveling is nice, it actually gave me a lot of motivation to join a guild.

The only thing I am annoyed by so far is the auto-porting hirelings, and it's still up in the air as to whether this is WAI or not. I do have to agree that lag has been an issue since day one...or at least since I knew enough about the game that it was effecting me.

The other worlds (mostly Forgotten Realms) have been done to death in video games. I like the fact that they went with something different for a few reasons; in other more establisheld Realms, you would have more people questioning the Lore. You also have less established NPC's, I really don't want Elminster, Drizzt, and the rest. I also think WotC didn't want to give Turbine the liscensing for FR. 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, then Galorian (the Pathfinder world), and then Ravenloft.

I enjoy this game still...but U5 was a poorly executed, ill-designed mess. It seems like it was thrown together with no planning or foresight and then tested by blind chimps. Turbine has been in this business too long, they should be above releasing a turd like U5. Call a spade a spade...

<-- looks sad in his pirate costume

[MeliCat]

it always amuses me when people comment on lag.

GET REAL. TRY LIVING ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD ****AND*** WITH A SLOWER NET

uh hum.


anyways, sad to hear it is frutstrating you. hope you find another game you like.


personally i find fun is where i find it and i find lots of things fun
