[quote=Sky Dovahkiin]I really hope someone reads this and i'm not wasting time lol.
Dust has a serious connection problem,ive been playing online for 20 years and this is the worst ive seen and its not my connection,i can download 25 megs per second.Its inadmissable that a game as big as Dust has connection problems,i play Battlefield 3,for example and i get no lag nor connection problems and that game has got beautifull graphics.
I'm sure ccp is aware of this and i have a suggestion.You guys could contact a company that rents servers just like Dice did for Battlefield 3 and people could rent these servers.I also suggest banning lag switchers,if you dont know how to get them,heres another suggestion,just implement a report system and if they have like 5 reports for lag switch using,you just moniter his activity and warn him of it,if he persists you ban him,kinda like many other games.Thank you for reading this and please consider the servers rental,you can even make some money and every corp could have its own servers,thus ending all lag/connection issues.Its just a suggestion and im sure you've thinked about doing it,but just in case you havent,im writing and if youre wandering if this will kill the game,all i have to say is this...If you dont solve the lag issues,this games dies anyway,i barely play it already and everyone i know complains.Thank you again ccp.

For some reason I did work my way through the OP... more or less at least. Anyway:

1. Your download speed is of no importance in this context. What matters is latency and it's quite possible to get good throughput even if you have high latency -- gaming will suck though. Further, your ISP may have poor transit to the dust servers even though you get a great connection somewhere else.

2. IIRC CCP already rent both battleservers and VOIP servers from Hypernia.

3. Lag switches? How can you tell anyone is using those what with your poor connection and all? Do they even work in this game?

You are indeed mistaken, there is no limit to the number of physical servers used to create individual battle instances. You can't run an MMO like Dust 514 on a handful of servers, and CCP wouldn't be foolish enough to attempt that. CCP is no stranger to distributed networking, as EVE requires a much more complicated server architecture which they are handling very well.

It is absolutely critical though that all of these servers are part of the internal CCP network, because otherwise you could not trust the data they send to the master server (e.g. how many SP and ISK each player earned).

Also you cannot outsource server resources in an MMO, not just because of the trust issues, but also because providing reliable server resources is what (some) active players pay for. The situation is much different with Battlefield, where DICE has no ongoing financial model for the multiplayer part, and each server is completely isolated, so does not have to be trusted.

rent servers?
so you can cheat?
NO THX

CCP Rejavik
CCP Shanghia

Same company different studios, one has near perfected the player feedback process, the other is still rolling on the floor after it fell over its first baby step.

1. Lag switches only **** up the user as the game is server sided.

2. Use paragraphs

There is not a single language I can recall that likes the wall of text, even the cuneiform writings break up their stories by columns.

In grammar a paragraph is only used when you change subjects...and my grammar is flawless lol

By rental servers i mean CCP servers that you would pay to maintain...

Wikipedia and Grammarly disagree with you.

I have had similar issues and have found that it isn't my connection at all, but the client itself has memory leaks that cause low-frame rates and desyncs. Resetting my playstation for a fresh game usually fixes it for a while.

No they don't....and stop being a hater and wasting my time.
The way it is typed in here is not meant to look good.

pay to play?
NO THX
dust514 is free2P
you an xbot or a bitter PC fanboi?

All I'm getting from this thread is

"son, son"

and from IWS "SMUGSMUGSMUG"

I agree that it sucks to pay but i wouldnt mind paying if it solved all the problems,most people already pay for blueprints.
And stop being a hater and trying to judge people.
Im not a nerd,i havent touched a pc in 10 years lol

Well if you really insist, the The University of North Carolina also disagrees with you, thus proving my point that paragraphs are not only used to switch subjects, nor that your grammar is flawless.

But harvesting the tears of an arrogant troll is fun!

What tears kid?
And what arrogance,you dumb ****?
Get a life you baby **** LOL

Proving my point exactly that you are a troll, was fun while it lasted.

Ok...
Now let the grown ups talk,youre obviously bullied at school and think youre smart because you got a laptop and your mommy pays for your clothes lol

Your idea of grown ups talking seems to be arrogantly claiming that rental servers are the best possible solution for latency issues, despite several people showing to you that it is a false impression, and going as far as ignoring evidence shoved right at your face. And then when someone gets a little on your head you start insulting them, reaaaaallly grown up, obvious troll is obvious.

I'll leave you to yourself now, have fun.

/me backhands the original poster

The whole thing is already wasted space son, paragraphs use em!

Thinking man's shooter.....lol
