Update: Xbox 360 US Lag and Connection Issues

[apollo]

Hey Trollin,

what time zone are you in? Just wondering if this is US/Eastern, etc. Hopefully it will scale up so when everyone gets on tonight it doesn't lag out.

what are you playing on too? PC,XBOX, PS3?

thanks!

Whatever patch was implemented last night did a lot of good. Connected to the servers almost instantly. Not a bit of lag. Did about 5 or 6 Arkfalls with out any problems other than a few audio stuff but that's not a big deal. Never once got disconnected. Have to say you guys at Trion are doing a great job getting these problems sorted as quick as you can. Keep up the good work.

Cool,

I am on xbox on east coast. So it'll be after 6pm before I can try it again. Keep us posted on how it goes, and if you want to group up in game, send me a DM.

Thanks for all the update info Sledgehammer....it means alot that those who want to play the game are informed about the issues, that way you will keep a loyal base of gamers.

Been reading alot on the forums here and just have to say to all the hardcore MMO crowd to take it easy on the console people who are new to this situation like myself. Nobody with an xbox or a ps3 knew they that wouldnt be able to play a game they just bought at the store. Not everyone knows the standards for MMO releases including myself but since reading through here i understand it will be some time before things are where the need to be in order to play. Thats fine i can wait.......but bashing people becuase they just didnt know is messed up. They have been playing xbox playstaion and other consoles all their life and guess what.....when they go to the store and spend hard earned money on a 50-60 dollar game aside from a day one update they can play instantly. No one wants to order a steak and not be able to eat it for a week to a month. Not everyone that plays games has all the free time in the world to drink mountain dew and get cheeto stains all over their shirts sitting in front a monitor all day playing an MMO or anything else for that matter. Normal people other than kids who are on break have jobs and lives outside of gaming. Although they love gaming they just have other resposiblities. No one wants to go to the store and buy a game for whatever amount of money and not be able to play with the little free time they have. I will wait for the game to come around but try not lash out at others who simply just dont know the process of an MMO because you do and you think that they should. Also keep in mind the xbox is a much more popular online platform than ps3 for third party titles. So the wave of xbox complaints is because more copies were sold on xbox in general. I imagine more copies could have been sold on pc than either console but im willing to bet the xbox has sold the most at this point. Could be wrong....

Mods,

Its to hard to follow 60 pages to find out what you said. Can you please start updating your first post with an "Update" field instead of posting inside the posts. Took me 15 mins to find all of your posts in one forum.

Thanks!

keep up the great work and improving the game

I see a lot of this rationale going on: "Don't you know that this type of product is of particularly poor quality? Because precedence for poor quality exists, you should be ok with it!" It's just a game--a product, not some special experience with unique expectations detached from general consumer laws and expectations. So we will complain, we will give bad reviews of this game to others, and we will remain in the game. Welcome to economic reality.

I have played many MMO's on the pc and i always expect a few issues at the beginning of the game. I expected no different with this game, however i am shocked and really glad that the dev's of this game are so on top of the issues as they arise and give players as close to real time updates on their work as they try and solve the issues. Hopefully this game is up and running ASAP so people can begin to get of the *** about it and see the work and dedication they are putting into this game.
