Update: Xbox 360 US Lag and Connection Issues

Does no one understand that one the servers are still down so rele no one should even be on anyways and two this games was made for all three systems to work together on single servers....since they had to back outa that they were not going to spend all the time and money making new game clients...this game is run off the same client and distributed to differernt platforms servers...and xbox is way harder to run a server based mmo since not only does the game servers gota work but than they must connect to xbox live servers and they also gota work with the game servers....idk why all you *****en about them actually gonna fix it...so what they released it now...because they want all of us to have the back story of the show before it starts.....when it works its a fun *** game with so many posibititys for the future dlcs....mmm not like this game going anywhere I got more than enough time to waist at least 5 years playing this game like I did WoW

what happened...was playing lag free before the latest update...now I have a 3 sec delay on everything after the servers come back up...

Same here man

rollback the patch..there was no lag before you took the servers down!:mad:

I really have no complaint if I have to wait like 15-45 minutes to play. Queues don't really bug me, cuz at least it gives me a set time I know I can log in. What I don't like is taking 45 minutes to log in to have lag that is 10-15 seconds long to the point that (not if) when I die do to lag, it won't let me save myself and I lose 80 script each death.. I'd like to see at least for the people who have logged in for these past few days given a script bonus and maybe a few costumes or SOMETHING. if you can add some servers because seriously.. with diablo and sim city getting blasted for server problems I was hoping this would be set for launch. I truly love what I have played of this game (when there was no connection problems) and I would hate to see the same thing that happened to sim city recently happen to this game. I am hoping that fixing the servers is also meaning to add servers. Word of mouth is the best way to make or break a game, and all I can truly say negative about this title at all is the connection issues. I know the tried and true "this is a mmo, you should expect it.." but come on really? why should we "expect" it? I have owned this game since the day it came out, and I have played maybe 2 hours in a attempt of time where I could have played 15+ I know you guys are hard at work fixing this and I really hope to see the Xbox servers up and running with minimal to no lag soon.

Good job fixing ps3 issues.
Xbox people, keep paying for membership ripoff.

All I Can Say

Sony ps3 Hacked
Xbox Not Been Hacked

I wasn't having any lag issues when I signed on earlier, then I saw that the game was being updated and now I'm lagging worse than before.

I agree players need to be compensated. But whatever you did with this last maintanance, take it out, it fouled up the game.

game was running absolutly perfect before the new patch today. go back!!!

Really you want a tape measure so we can see who's is bigger too?


The lag is outrageous now but was non existent on 360 all day before hand. You may want to roll back the patch.

I'm not even saying a massive compensation, but I'd like the 2000 script back from lag dieing, maybe a costume from the store and a really nice mod. Digital Compensation costs them nothing really to distribute.

yea i was playing fine before they updated not i cant even get out the car lol i have to wait til the mobs blow up my vehicle

Did we get on too early? That delay sucks, considering I was about to fight final boss.

Nycturis you make a good point but you would think that most of the issues would be solved before its release but when has anything ever gone according to plan. updates are no biggy as long and the problems get fix hell i've had a few other games that got updates with in the first hour. everyone just needs to stop whining and deal with it so that the tech team can get things done right with out being hounded by everyone to hurry up.

Yes tell us how your able to even voice chat with your friends on ps3 while your playing different games and singleplayer games, also how you can speak to your friends while playing defiance. C:

One thing about online games I often wonder are they expecting only a few thousand to log on and trash the servers? Why not make a game that'll support a million players and then scale back servers if you need to. It's like they expect the game to do the bare minimum...

They underestimated our numbers O_O

Well, I think they should just give us 10,000 Bits and that'll be the end of it. Everyone will be able to buy something nice for themselves and I'm sure everyone will be happy. The lag is going to continue for a little. The game isn't even a week old people. Every MMO goes through these stages, so stop fretting and just let Trion do their thing. This game will be running perfectly next week and everyone will be happy.

why do these so called fixes keep making things worse. for the first time right after this update it is so laggy that i cant even move from my spawn

I Not sure if there is a server spec capable of holding that many players

Just purchased this and I am trying to play and can't.
So instead, I am posting to every game site I can find NOT to buy this POS.
Tell all your friends not to waste their money!!!!! Unless they offer an immediate fix or compensation.
Maybe they will get the point if they see thousands of these posts all over the web.

We are not whining. We are simply stating that the last patch needs to be pulled and players compensated for lost script caused by problem patch.

lets see ya we pay for our membership but i cant believe how many times i hear about playstation network cashing or being hacked all the time. so ya ill pay for it if it means i get to not worry bout hackers lol

I get that "every MMO" goes through these problems.. but why? Have we come to expect that every mmo will launch bad? every one? Honestly I think the issue here is they raced to meet the date of the show, gave it a week to work some of the the kinks with a test audience and we are participating in a "beta" sorts of release.

Poor company leadership to allow this, especially if it is a known problem in other MMOs.

its been out 4 days this is normal for gamers new games have problems like this it will be sorted

If people allow this, then they will continue to Fail. If you make an issue every time they do this, them maybe they will do some actual quality control and real large scale beta testing. Then only the Good Companies will survive.

Hi I am trying to play with friends of mine from USA but every time I invite them they cant join does anyone know what's going on please?

Do not be one of these people, it will work out in time.

idk if the update took hold or what but right now the lag is pretty damn bad.

The issue I raise is why do we expect every mmo to fail during the first few days? I'm not sure if this is something we should continue to expect.. i mean.. someone's gotta release a working day one product eventually right? I know the kinks and server issues will work themselves out soon, just sucks that this could tarnish the games rep before it even has a chance to start.

I am not going to lie....... This is starting to get past the point of a typical launch..... This is actually a problem now...

Went from awesome connection to lag...great.....
