Runes of Magic US / AU

all seems to be luck of the draw... today... stone dead at 35min... went and grabbed a pizza since I couldn't do anything. Luckily the other team seemed to not have the lag issues that our guild suffered. We were obviously the more strategic and better team, and should've won, but due to lag, we didn't stand a chance. It pains me that EU servers don't suffer the same problems we're having, it also pains me that they have a diamond vendor, and I just learned that Gameforge is making Aion F2P on the EU servers as well... damn, why does NA always get the shaft?

We can always reroll to EU servers.

Last night in my alts guild siege, we had 1 rogue that seemed immune to fear always.

R/P lvl 30 Elite - FEARLESS -Immune to Fear effect for the next 10.0 seconds.
(This skill can be used even if you are in a state that doesnt allow you to use spells)

R/K lvl 35 elite Courageous Guard - Protects up to 5 party members in a range of 100 from fear for 5.0 seconds. Can be cast when Feared.

.... just sayin

The lag can kind of get amusing: http://jemstuff.com/images/RAScrnShot_20120201_212521.png

I jumped off the edge all the way over by our B bridge, and I managed to walk under the map all the way over to the A bridge....and then I died...got hit by a bunch of hits all in a row...and then about 3 minutes later, saw this coming towards me.

Time is a beta function.

It didn't act as expected when approaching the speed of light or under immense gravitational effect.

After two weeks of crap, siege worked perfect for me last night. My lucky day. The smoothest its ever ran. It gave me a view of what could be and now I'm even more upset that I see no effort or communication of effort on working towards a fix.

Last night, my guild went into siege wars and got split into 2 different sieges
anyone have that happen before?

Been happening alot lately. Also last night alot of guilds had no opponents.

We tried siege last night, and it is even worse now than it was last week. We went from controlling all towers in the first 10-15 minutes to losing the match because we couldn't make actions. The lag is like a curse that you hope doesn't affect your side. Looks like we were on the bad end of the lag-stick last night. I can't blame our opponents for capitalizing on it though.

That said, Siege just isn't worth the effort anymore, so I am gonna give it a rest until it gets better - if it gets better. I asked for a status update on what was being done to address the issue an I have not gotten an answer in this forum from those who have a duty to support the customer and address the customer's concerns. This is disappointing to many of us who play and enjoy this came as well as support the company through purchases.

Believe it or not, Siege is a big attraction for me, so I don't know what the impact will be for some of us, especially those of us that have level capped. Some of us may lose interest, especially if we feel we are not being supported and the software stays broken at this level. SAdly, some of my guild members have rage-quit, stopped playing as much or have gone to other games due to the siege issues. I would like to think a fix would be done before guilds and groups erode further.

Obviously Siege War, which is a grand version of Capture the Flag, is not much fun when you can't compete effectively due to lag. That just kills the entire attractiveness of the siege module.

I think I would be encouraged if we received a transparent update on what the problem is and what efforts are being taken to fix things. Is that asking too much?

Thanks!

I guess we can ALL send in support tickets. After all it is a game issue.

with the upcoming maintenance we will make some larger changes (unfortunately this requires a complete server restart and some time, so we will not do it before we have a maintenance), with the hope that this will improve the stability.

@above, please discuss moderation in pm. I will not reply about it in this thread, since the topic will derail then. it was in no way meant offensive and it doesn't publically denounce the guild. It's a preventive measure to allow the existence of this thread, so i can easily pick out the details i need.

nothing has changed what gives? We the paying customers would like to know

Look, this is getting insane. How many weeks of this are we going to endure? I may have lost an officer who has been a loyal RoM player since closed beta because of this! He has spent umptybillions on dias over the years he has played- how many more like him are thinking the same thing???

We need this fixed. Not next week, not next month, not "when we get around to it"- NOW.

Timthum is right. We are paying the salaries- where is the communication? Where is the fix? We will run whatever little tests and tracert's you need, we'll do whatever it takes- just please please please fix it before I lose half my guildies to this mess.

Come on. Y'all programmers do this for a living. One would think you could spend a little time and part of the IMMENSE amount of money we all pay you and fix a part of the game that's as pivotal as Siege War. Shut SW down until you KNOW it's fixed, not for one night to implement something that you THINK will fix it. I'm sure everyone will agree with me that I'd rather not have SW for a week than have to deal with this BS every damn night.

FROGSTER please listen to me real quick, last year the fire festival was ended quick, like less then a week quick. Must have been a reason, check it out.

After Friday Seige, Dovahkiin will be doing no more Seige 'till things are resolved.

Some in guild lagged bad, others no lag till they got kicked near the end.

Still seems it's one of the segments that toons get handed off to when they go into Seige.

At the end, I was standing in Obsidian with 324 Merits and 4 Ft's. 2 min later I started try to drop a FT in Obsidian.

Really wonder why this hasn't been sorted out and why no communication for a couple days now. Kind of confused as to why no one indcated that either nothing was done on Maint night as we were told it would be or the fix did not work.

The vast majority of us reading the forums don't freak out at whatever is said, so please say something informative.

.

I begin to wonder whether they have any intent to fix siege at all. They have given us no updates, info, or anything at all...

I know my guild hasn't sieged in a few days since the last siege we took part of was so horrible. I was still in siege 40 mins after it ended... I just closed out the client cause it was obvious I wasn't gonna get any rewards.

Can you guys hire some testers instead of relying on us players to test all your "updates"?

A question though, can we merc for lower guilds to roflstomp another guild in under 20 mins before the magical lag starts? Yes I know it's not honorable but is it allowed is my question.

And again, I am not sure if this response is from the exploiter trying to derail the conversation, or just from someone who does not read the post to which he is replying.

These skills last for SECONDS, not MINUTES. Try again...

This situation just takes the cake. My faith in Frogster was actually starting to come around. I was even an idiot and bought some diamonds before all this happened to support a server move that I hoped had brought more stable gameplay, instead, we were met with this and no reasonable explination instead of

"Guys, we're working on it. We hope our fixes will work"

As I said before, you can't run an MMORPG on hopes and dreams, but as someone mentioned, it seems I've been proven wrong. I wonder if Frogster is even working on the correct thing...or...do they care?

Anyway, it's not worth my time to siege, I was actually starting to get some time away from work where I could start sieging with my guild just to find out that it's not really fun anymore to play siege...I might as well just sit on top of the castle and enjoy a friendly chat with the small amount of our guild that still does show up for siege war.

I'll just attempt to do my dailies everyday without crashing and hope and pray that Frogster/Runewaker actually does something.
