They took a game that was full of lag and time outs, and made it worse
I'll second that. If this is better than maybe I should shoot both of my PS3's. They screwed the controls the guns inventory and I'm just going to stop here. It is so unplayable that my wife and I can no longer play it and we have played the game from the time of release.
Maybe if someone in their company had a ps3 and put some hrs on this game they to could feel our pain
I had hardly any time outs till today. I mean it happened about 4-6 times to me in the time since release. Now, post DLC it's almost unplayable. I don't want to get invested time wise into anything because I will get kicked and not get credit. Already happened on several roadside events and 2 major arkfalls for me. First all the baddies stop reacting to me. Then I check my map and see just the map with no points of interest or anything on it. Then my loadout screen has all blank spots then I am booted to queue with a 47 minute wait time :(

PS3
Major Arkfalls are bugged and have been kicking everyone just after the DLC launch. I was not sure this was happening on all the platforms or just the PS3. For now I would I would advise everyone to only do Minor Arkfalls. My clan did last night and we did not get booted as much. Another thing that helps is go in the router you are using and blow open the ports that your system uses for the game. You can look the steps up online of how to do this and gat a list of ports for your system. Also remember to put your system in a DMZ on your router as it will become a week point in your network as far as security. Mind you this is not a 100% fix but doing this helped, While I still get the disconnect it is not as bad as my other clan members.Quote:

I had only one or two timeouts (and one Que time) yesterday on PC NA. No problems before then. To me, it seems only natural since there are a ton more players in the game right now because of the new content. I have had similar experiences with every other MMO I have played - either DCs or lag for the same reasons. Should Trion beef up the infrastructure during these times? Sure, but it will all even out after a week or so anyway.
I have several accounts, so I stand two 'toons next to each other to trade, out in the middle of no-where. No action around me, I'm trading from one 'toon to the other. One toon will get booted while the other is fine.Quote:

It will also happen when I go off to fight with one of the 'toons, leaving the other as a place to port back to.
** The 'toon I'm fighting will frequently be the one to disco' alone. The place holder will just as often be the one to stay logged in. And it's also often happened that the fighting 'toon will lag out after having recently logged back into the area with few players and NPCs to snipe some raiders or 99rs and lag out without doing much so the 'buffer' hasn't had more than a few minutes to fill on a 16 Gig PC.
It's random, and not specifically related to the battlecomputer in use at the time.
since the last patch i wasn't experiencing the random time-outs i was experiencing when they did the patching for the recent DLC
Today started with 3hrs of down time . Got on talked to the clan mates with hopes of hearing good news, nope ..still disconnects going in to maj arks, and lost ark battery because the ark will not start.But before they could finish I was disconnected at a dark matter
I downloaded the patches yesterday as i have't played since 1st of october and the game worked very well for me on the ps3 i even had a voice chat for the 1st time ever and i had no dc at all so i really dont see where your coming from.
Did you really play ... Did you get you get the dlc? If so what can I say you are one of the luckiest people I never heard of.
There were plenty of people playing the game last night... according to my XBL friend list, anyway.Quote:

As it was, we needed only a couple minutes more to advance to the final.Quote:
