Objects pop out of no where, players don't load properly, 10 minute loading periods, etc. I had a wireless connection during the chat. The GM told me that if I had gotten a wired connection, all my problems would go away (He/she kept assuring that it wasn't Trion's servers or had anything to do with them). He/she was wrong. It didn't improve my gameplay at all. The problems are still occurring at the same frequency and magnitude.
To sum it up...: Don't bother getting a wired connection - it doesn't help.
*note: I created this forum because it was really difficult for me to establish a wired connection. My internet output was on the other side of my house and I had to run wire through the attic and walls. Took about 3 days of drilling holes and such. I kept asking the GM several times if it would help. He/she said no doubt. Just aggravating that I did all that for nothing :/ . Would have been more helpful if the GM had just told the truth...
*on another note: I understand that Trion wasn't prepared for this amount of players on Defiance - hence all of the server-related problems.
