I hate to say it but this now comes down to the console being the issue. First yeah sure you could blame Trion for the game lagging due to poor design or server issues but now most of the lag issues are coming from consoles. The X360 and PS3 are limited. Their hardware is mainly for single player games or limited deathmatch style games like COD. They were not built for MMO Shooters and the MMO market was never sucessful with consoles. This game runs on last gen hardware requirements. Sure Trion could upgrade the the game to next gen Xone and PS4 but it costs too much and lets face it the numbers on console are far too few to invest in an upgrade. Lag will always be the case for this game on consoles here on out unless all graphics are turned down makin it look like Halo 1 for xbox. So much has/is being added to game can the old gen version really handle it? I blame the Mirco & Sony for expecting devs to create massive games inside of a shoe box. How many friggin games had to be cut down to meet those R tarded requirements?

First let me say that I, as an XBoxer, seldom have many issues with Defiance. Having said that however...

Only in the land of microprocessors and memory chips does this kind of excuse seem to hold water. I fail to understand why people are so willing to blame the consumer in this land of electrons . A company, in this case Trion, created a game on multiple platforms and sold it to the puplic. Pretty sure they understood the limits of the system they were working with. If you bought a L/R handed gun, then after purchase, found out that you, as a right hander, had limited use of this gun because of design flaws, would you just keep it and blame right handed consumors? Of course not. However for some reason in the land of electrons, that is always the standby argument. Of course as long as the left hand people have no issues with the gun then they just can't seem to fathom the problem.

Bottom line, if a company creates a game and sells it as usable on your system, then yes, they, not the consumer, are responsible for the end result.

This says it all. Obviously this game does not run well on Xbox. Maybe it did at one time, but it doesn't anymore.. due to the things they've added or the way they've coded them to run on the system. And I dont think its so much lag as it is processing or cache issues. Never had ANY problems seeing snow on PS3. And right now.. I only get booted once or twice a day through sessions that last hours. The likelyhood of this increases of course at the Crater or Muir and when entering arkbreaks.. but still, now I can do like three ark breaks, teleport all over, do missions, play deathmatch, etc without needing to restart. Certain places still process slowly - Kinship, gate to Port Stinson, etc. But I started playing last August and for me its the best its ever been.

Player population is definitely a contributing factor, xbox eu is dead and I never ever lag or crit out, but na is really busy and recently I crit out after every 3 wm or so or hard freeze pressing back to open the map, OP is a ps3 player so its not just xbox having these issues, they broke something very recently, like the last 6 weeks or so, would be nice if they could figure out what they broke and put it back like it was before, server stability was at an all time high before this happened, but were headed back towards what the servers were like at release, I'm sure they wont let it continue as it is after all the progress they've made over the last year, would be a massive step backwards
