Hi, I just recently returned from a 3 month vacation from Dust, after leaving in dismay at what the previous Imperfects did to my former home of D3lta forc3. Back when PC first started I was ringing minimum 8 PCs a day for nearly two weeks as I was one of DF previous FC's and it seems to me that even as I play the game now (about 2-6 PC's a day) not much has changed in PC game performance. It seems to run a slight bit smoother, of course that could just be because there is not 43 PC battles per hour anymore it seems. But rather the server these games are held on needs a boost. Again I'm rarely new here again so don't try to bust my ass for it, but before I left I was told these PCs were held on the the same glitchy, bug ridden, latency like a blocked corroted artery, corp battle servers. It shouldn't be as much CCP needs to fix the lag and things, its they need to fix the servers.
Realisticly when is the last time you ever jumped into a public match, and the textures in front of you didn't render, or your frame rate dropped to below 10 fps, or you black screened just by spawning in. And yet on the PC field, this is every single game.
Also, it seems when we play a small corp that isn't stacked with talent aka not 16 full proto the game runs all too smooth. Yet go against any all proto team and you might as well have your finger on the power button for a restart. This is a MAJOR PROBLEM and has been for months even before PC because corp battles did the SAME EXACT THING, and has caused much of the people to leave the game of dust and caused CCP to lose potentially millions in future revenue, as I'm hard pressed to find ANYONE that has spent aurum within the last month or so, as many don't deem it necessas with how crap the PC gameplay is.
But frankly I see lag in PCs anywhere I go. Simply going from an outside objective to an inside one halfway through the battle even with no equipment in the 'city' will throw my PlayStation into total and utter disarray of barely 1 fps. Simple things like jumping off s building will sometimes do this, or just moving too much back and forth across the map in general.
If I'm wrong please correct me
But this is corporation lives that CCP is just leaving up in the air to who can survive against the lag the longest. That is why no one wants to wage all out war at the moment, because it won't be who is better that wins, it will be who's better and controls the lag and frankly, I could give two ***** about fw 2.0 ATM, when all anyone is gonna be doing is fighting for weapons to use in PC battles just so they can lose them to the lag.
Frankly, people should want to look up to PC matches as something as an accomplishment. Finally getting all those months worth of skill points grinding it out to get your proto suit up to snuff, to be handpicked out of your corp to fight and represent themin battle. To step into that warbarge with 7:50 left on the clock to joke and strategize. Counting the seconds till that clock hits 0. Just so you can fly into a city with 4 fps, your FC disconnect from the game along with your main forge gunner, then enemy take the top of the towers, you lag so much you ccan't move, and your entire team is plungedbinto disarray. I'm tired of this. If I ever made a game with a mode as important as PC that ***** would be 1080p 60fps with custom maps, not this garbage of an attempt at world conquering.
Frankly, I've gone into pub matches with squads in which we spammed hives to get ammo to everyone, and once such occasion my friend dropped over 145 hives spread across the map from a supply depot, and not once did my frame rate drop low enough I was hindered while killing. Looking at or away. Yet throw down a few hives in PC and you might as well have your hand on your power cable to unplug it from the wall. And the lag seems to gradually increase as a PC progresses.
So overall CCP needs to get on the ball. This isn't a 'new' problem, its been around for longer than half a year now and still no fixes. Tons of people have left the game because of this, this is why PC is governed by 50-100 person corps instead of what used to be 750-1500 person corps. The only reasons I even play PCs anymore is A. I like playing against the best and killing them. B. I like to hang out with other corps when I ring for them. C. I like getting payed. In fact I've been paid over 150 mil in the past 3 weeks I've been with 0.H. which is pretty nice.
But I digress, I wish you all well with your pursuits at finding a potential fix with these issues, but overall I think its ccps fault to manage this crisis. I mean I love dust, but let's be reasonable, have you really ever had to restart your system just to play a game before?
Blame it on the outdated as all hell Unreal Engine yo. |
