Ok, so I just got out of two matches in a row with a particular south american corporation who shall remain nameless (though Hugo Chavez would be extremely proud of). In the first match, the lag made the game unplayable, not only were there rubberbands, there was also this suspect behavior where the reddots would be standing stock still and I fired an entire magazine of Dren Shotgun into them and they didn't die until the final shot. Yes, I was standing so close to them that if it had been in real life, my shotgun would have been in their *******. This occurred several times, on top of that, the rubberbanding was so very terrible that their vehicles were teleporting around the map. We were unable to hack the objective in the beginning because I was hacking it and it just sat there at a full circle for roughly another 30 seconds after the hack should've been completed. Needless to say, we lost this match, nearly everyone on my team went horribly negative and the members of this corp all went ridiculous positive as in 10:1 or greater.
In the second match, they were on our side. Needless to say we won handily, this isn't to say that the same lag issues weren't present for us. There were rubberbands, there were teleporting vehicles and all in all, it was fairly ridiculous. IDK how it was for the opposing team, though I can't imagine it was much different for them than it was for us in the previous match.
CCP, if you expect people to spend money on Dust, you NEED to address issues like this. I am not definitively stating that there was cheating going on though I wouldn't be surprised if it were. Cheating or no, this is something that needs to be addressed and addressed quickly. People are spending real money on this game and if there is cheating going on, they are effectively being robbed by the cheaters; if there is no cheating going on, they are effectively being robbed by you due to the shoddy connection conditions.
I am not definitively placing blame on any party involved, though I feel the need to bring this up.
CCP, Please do something, either upgrade your hardware to handle the connection (or give countries with little to no connection speed their own version of Serenity) or aggressively target anyone found to be cheating (there are condition I know you can track that will indicate cheating or at the very least point you in the right direction for further investigation).
These players, if there are cheating players to be found, are no better than RMTers in Eve, treat them the same.
