Like the title says would like to see what everyone else has to say about this so called patch. Did it fix anything at all? I know they added to the Incursions so they would be less lag, but seems to me it made the lag worse to the point the game is unplayable. Is this just me or others having the same trouble?
Release the fix!
It works great for me....Love the 2 incursions at the same time thing!
Guess to you it would work great considering all you do here is troll old clan members. Maybe you should take time to play instead of trollQuote:

This thread has officially derailed.
To answer the original post: yes there are 2 incursions going on at the same time on PS3 NA. BUT, they both lag massively. Last night there were about 6 of us at an Afflicted one in Sausalito, travelling around and it kept taking up to a minute between events for us to do. The other one was Volge in Madera and didn't seem to have that same hesitation. It was progressing so I'm sure there were people there but for some reason it kept going and got to it's final siege at North Point well before we got to ours at Diablo. Both did finish...but lag was MASSIVE. Arkfall lag was also massive last night. Invisible enemies, floating Mature Hellbug shell about 50 feet off the ground, Mother of all Hellbugs died with 7 minutes left but no rewards - timer just ticked down to zero and we all got NOTHING. It's pathetic. That patch did nothing but give us extra lag, I suppose because the server now has to track TWO incursions so it has twice as much to do. And clearly, can't handle it at all. We continue to suffer for the bumblings of Trion's ineptitude.
This goes back to what I've discovered about lag thru trial and error over the last 8 months playing Defiance: No matter what you do, no matter how many people are around you, you're going to get lagged the longer you stay online. Getting kicked offline or a hard freeze is inevitable. The only way out is to restart your game when you start getting so lagged you can't play.
Just out of curiosity, are you on a console? I'm on PC/NA and I've never had a problem with increasing lag over time or hard freezes. I haven't been able to play since the patch so I can't speak to that.Quote:

LOL - on PS3 NA. It's not just me, we all get this stupid lagggggg thing. So you're lucky in the sense that you're on PC I guess!Quote:

There's been an answer to it, in thus less than 10 days there is a fix for more incursions, both back to back and/or 2 at a time.
How many other MMOs do put on such a fix in less than 10 days that can affect server stability, loot economy, etc...
I've been playing MMOs for the past almost 15 years, I've not seen this happen very often. It sometimes takes weeks if not months.
Yes there are still problems, well I guess I'm the half-full glass type of person because still i'm very happy with this fix ;) !
Im on xbox na and this lag is gamebreaking. They better fix it fast or people running away to play other games will fix it automatically.
unforeseen high activity - Ok sure. Every single time there's been an update/DLC it brings a lot of players back in. They should know by now, GEEZ.Quote:

How many other MMOs do put on such a fix - Most of them do at least a little something. But most of them have these issues too, to one degreee or another. Online gaming is a pretty new industry esp. for consoles so it will be like this. Imma try to accept that...
I guess I'm the half-full glass type of person - *sigh* I'll have what you're having. Drink up!
On the PTS or internal server ? Certainly not...Quote:

Well Shoogli, yes Defiance is better than it was. Trouble is the improvements over time are so small it's too hard to notice. On PS3 NA, it's true that every update gets a bunch of players back in, causing extra lag for a week or so and then it dies down again. Also, every update gives us extra problems that somehow they can't figure out will happen as they put up these patches. I don't get it. With this patch we got some old problems back - floating Hellion arkfall shells, and stuck arkfalls - Mother of all hellbugs last night died but timer just kept running so we got no rewards. It's irritating. I do like this game (duh or I wouldn't play) but it's so frustrating to look forward to playing and then get DC'd again and again, and hard freezes.
Another issue is that Trion just CANNOT get with Sony's schedule. EVERYONE has the DLC #3 except for those of us on PS3 that don't have season pass. It's unfair, it's ignored, and it's TWICE NOW that they've screwed it up. I'm the kind of person who tries to learn from my mistakes. But with Trion, they make the same mistakes over and over again. I think maybe one reason for this is employee turnover - how can someone learn from previous mistakes if they didn't make them before? the employee who made this mistake a couple months back may not be there anymore so the knowledge is lost.
Anyway, blah blah blah, still annoyed but still playing Defiance so there's that. :p
Oh I forgot to mention what I'm having: a slow Friday at work. Later tonight? Perhaps some Jack Daniels to dull the pain.
lol, yes the DLC brought new players, how unforseen? They should know this by now wow lol, worst excuse I have ever seen. and yes, 10 DAYS AGO MAN, and nothing is fixed, people still screaming, and now there is so much lag its unplayable...Quote:

What does that have to do with anything?
It has to do with the fact that my original comment was about that it was unforseen whether on PTS or internal servers. So if you want to rant about live then do it on your own because there is no need to call me out with idiotic comments such as :Quote:

PS3 here. Lag is the same. No better, no worse.
Incursions are great now! Not having to deal with the spawn campers! Not being blinded with incessant BMG usage. Jekkin' glorious! Completed more last night than all the others since release combined.
No game-breaking complaints here...
I play on PS3, admittedly the worst console for lag and discos for this game. I play on average 5 hours a night. Every night. To say the game is unplayable is just false. Frustrating? Sure. Cumbersome to have to continuously reconnect? A given. Annoying to disco right before the end of an event and lose the reward. Extremely.Quote:

My opinion hasn't changed at all from the recent update. The top notch screamers are still annoying and they didn't address the population issues with incursions really, I'm noticing them back to back instead of 2 at a time.
Yep, you sum it up nicely. And thanks for getting this thread back on track! Am on PS3 as well and agree, it's playable. Same old same old.Quote:

That reminds me of back near launch when you would see 2 or 3 majors at a time.
I've noticed 2 on map at same time also. The really cool thing now though, they pop on the dead shards with nice frequency. I stayed on the dead shard most of last night doing them with, at most, a dozen other people. Had a blast!Quote:

I agree with Ice, I just did three or four on PC/NA and it seemed to be running about the same and there were fewer people which made it more enjoyable.
Still glitchy, laggy, disconnecting. I find that every 30 to 45 minutes I get kicked off game. I usually quit game after every major arkfall/incursion if I haven't had a hard freeze or been kicked off.
But still......I cannot put this damn game down! Why? Idk. Really, even though all mission and incursion and arkfalls are always the same but.......I think its the noises in the game kinda like how casinos realize the sounds of the machines were highly addictive. Hmmm.
