Fraps of SW Lag (01.02.12)

Trainee

K I know most of us know what the lag experience is like (enough of us have whined and QQ'd about it since it started)...approx 20mins into SW lagfest kicks in, casting skills, summoning pets/mounts, attacking or even things as simple as running is delayed from 1-5mins...

The following fraps is just to share with the players who don't lag and any players/GMs/Devs who don't attend SW but would like to experience the fun of the lagfest in order to have a better understanding of why we're all QQing so much.

Damn, I jump a lot o.0

Just to give you an idea on how bad it was, when she told me in vent that she was jumping on/t-bagging my dead body, I had already gone through the rez wait period, and already out of the castle.

Yep, that pretty much sums it up. Love the audio overlay!

First time I've ever seen a stone castle in siege though, gg Heretic.

Yeah, that looked pretty much like my nightly siege experience as well.

Maybe they could pipe that jaunty musical track into siege so we can all feel less like slamming the keyboard against the wall and more like giggling madly. In siege, lately, I start fantasizing about what my monitor would look like if I punched it.

Well done guys.

Im surprised this hasn't at least been acknowledged by a gm/QA. This is pretty much what we're all experiencing. And lets keep in mind the 1 fight that was shown...had happened 2-3 minutes prior.

Was funny getting into a lag fight at the beginning of the hell period, that was interesting. Wasn't fun running over the bridge and randomly being dead 50 ft back.

I'm surprised no gm, fm, cm, qa, watever else hasn't said its cause of your computer/internet connection I guess that excuse no longer works :rolleyes:

. What happend to that seemingly great data center migration too, seems like some people at the workplace where misinformed of server node specs or really trying to cut costs of server operation. Sometimes cutting corners backfires

OK FROGSTER, Please oh PLEASE fix this, apparently you aren't doing everything you can, cause if you were you would be sending out new updates everyday till this was fixed. At least take siege down and just beta test it till it doesn't lag for you guys, then bring it back into play.

Frogster, you're losing customers, and frankly I don't think you care. HEY EVERYONE let's move to a less buggy game (aka any other game).....

Yup, our warden is a very skilled player and a very capable end gamer. Very fortunate to be in his guild. Lucky bastard got no lag >.<

Seems FAI is too busy working on Flo and Andy then worrying about siege. If we didn't have 36 episodes of Flo and Andy this game would REALLY be in the crapper.

Elvie.. the weirdly cheery music really doesn't fit the topic.

I wanted to rip my ears off.

This has been my experience as well... basically all i'm able to do in SW now is run forward spamming my macro and hoping i'm killing people I can't see. Then my screen catches up.. I die.. i click rez, go make something for dinner, come back, still haven't rezzed, so I go get something to drink, then come back and finally am rezzed up. Then I take about 10 minutes to buff... then SW is over!

Oh Drac.. Iphone comment.. Lmao.

Same for me last night, see someone, run up start spamming attacks, and 3 minutes later one of us dies.

Was interesting, kind of like playing an old turn based game.
For the last 15 minutes I couldn't get away from the bridge,move three steps and bounce back

To Frogster/RW, as long as money is still being made, they don't see any reason to put extra effort to properly FIX issues. They know there are still some Fanboy's out there willing to spend money on a broken, ghost town game that is Actually a Beta Game.
