I have been experiencing some server side lag. More than usual and have been placed into games with large groups of Japanese players as of late. American server.

That is the only difference I have noticed since Foxfour dropped and i don't think they are related.

"Patch" is just as easy to type as "Hotfix" and is accurate.

Now I know that most people may not know the difference, but why use the wrong term?

Why does CCP use "Hotfix"? Well probably because it sounds more cool than patch, but it is still very wrong.

I can only say to people that if you were teaching someone a new language and they used up to mean down, would you not try and educate them to use the right word so they don'e seem uninformed and not able to communicate correctly?

Well "patch" kind of sounds like there is a problem, like patch a hole in a flat bicycle tire. Patches are associated with fuckups and balancing a few numbers isn't a fuckup it is an alteration. Maybe they just choose to say hotfix because it sounds more exciting than a flat tire idk..

If you can get screenshots of the location or video then send it with a support ticket to CCP so they can identify the problem areas. As far as lag/spawn issues, that's probably server burps. WoW has taught me that Purple means Legendary. This means Quafe suits are the optimal loadout for killing all of you.

CCP does not have any "Hotfixes" so the term should not be used, especially by a CCP employee or someone representing knowledge. FYI a Hoffixes means that a patch was applied to a running system without interrupting service. This should be called a minor update, update or patch. As to what their updates include or not include, I can not testify to. All I do know is that since the update these are issues that are now happening that were not a problem before. No screen shots from me, don't have that set up, maybe someone else can help. Death before dishonor. Adapt or Die war is hell

Maybe we should use a very old term for CCP. It is called "ColdFix" sometimes confused with "CodeFix". But they should not be saying hotfix and heaven forbid they should perform some testing before deploying fixes.. Death before dishonor. Adapt or Die war is hell
