Yeah I know phantasm posted the same thing. I figured if the same thing was posted numeral times more attention light might be shined on the subject ya know.


It really seems as if the lag is getting worse day by day. Sometimes its ok, we understand its ya know a "game on a phone" basically and there is expected to be some difficulty with making it perfect for the players but it is really starting to interfer with gameplay, and this is not just coming from me, I speak for myself, DtC members that've been complaining and the many people in game that have spoken about it.

This is what seperates the vets from the noobs, we have been dealing with this issue from day one, and still many of us are still here, only so much the developers can do on there end. I use wifi with good signal and it's hit or miss, get the same results using 3g. Guess we are all going to have to buy a droid.

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH ! noooooooooooooooooo... some of us can't afford to upgrade all da time

Can you guys explain the lag any further?

Is it visual lag (stuttering images/etc), or is it network lag (character jumping back to where he was before)?

[terencela]

Both impact. I see that I'm moving but slowly, so much so I don't know where I am. Plus, I'll run around a table and out of a building and although I know none of the other guys can see me to shoot me I'm losing life quicker than Michael Jackson. (I'm Bad) ((Pardon the pun))(((I'm drunk)))! Then I return to in front of the table where they're shooting me.

Another example was in a CTF Hospital game today. I ran round a corner and could see certain players who were round the corner and previously out of sight. All of a sudden I'm back to where I can't see the player again. So either I've seen them, or I didn't really go there. Strange but true!

Another case is when I'm throwing a gas bomb. I throw the bomb, nothing happens, I ping back to where I was and the gas bomb is then thrown and I can see the animation, often through an object or barrier to where it looked like I was when I threw it. eg I get to point X via point Y and throw the gas bomb, I ping back to point Y and the gas bomb seems to leave me at point Y, through an obstacle and to where I threw it from point X.

I've tried to make it as clear as possible, I hope I can help.

Yeah it actually is both. It isn't about the connection dipsh*t, so you and all that "vet/noob" talk can go die.

Sorry?

[magik]

zoom, you really should find a different set of words, and attitude. This part of forum is to help the development of the game, not to start fights. The lagg has plagued the game from the start, and we bring it up, and the developers know of the issue, and are constantly trying to make it better. The "vets" have learned to deal with it.

[ZooM]

I apoligize for that. I've been trying my hardest to be civil and not argue back its just that terencela is really become a nuesense( if I spelt that right). Ill settle this off forum, as for the issue I realize its an issue, but coping with it will take a while..

Easy kids!! Just a game.

Magik I believe ZooM's uncharacteristic cussing was aimed at you, not terencela. And I kinda agree with his sentiment, but not his tone or language!

While I do agree that the visual lag is a part of the game and must be played through, the network lag is ridiculous at times and quite unplayable.

Yesterday afternoon I could play in like 30 second bursts followed by 2-3 minutes of move/back/move/back. One time I was at the base and I would be in a move/back cycle and some one would drop the flag on me and I never even saw any one near me. Then I'm killed with no one near me. Or the flag disappear from under my nose with no one ever appearing and is captured before I can move. Obviously it isn't affecting everyone the same, and I thought it was my connection but people are telling me that it is the network and impact confirms that thought above.

Another lag like issue is how I can, when returning a flag, walk all the way across the flag and someone comes up behind me and picks it up! I generally play as a flag returner so this really makes my life difficult. Lol. I gotta kill three carriers per return and its not like they're passing or anything!
