So been away for 3 days and I see it's got more lagged

So been away for 3 days from my home PC and I see that patch 1.0.7 has landed and made things worse.

First quest I try tonight and guess what abilities freeze or don't fire at all, lag means I go in a milisecond from the usual 'barely holding my own but on course for a win to... oops where did my health bar just go'.

I swear if this game actually worked I'd be quite good at it.

And in the announcements and patches what do I see - lots of lore breaking stuff to feed the long time MMO players, many of whom want this to be just like all the others MMOs & nothing seriously aimed at simply making the game work - which I think might make everyone happier.

And the day after basically announcing that the game is not in a fit state to go to market we'll get hit for our subs??

I think there may be an EU megaserver performance issue going on at moment.

Yes, it's called "distance"

Of course. I also think there's additional server issues as performance has slowed basically.

@Zargorius - you mean they moved it even farther away?!?!

@GossiTheDog - certainly seems to have slowed down since I last played, I suppose they'll get a bounce tomorrow morning so maybe that will speed things up. I think I might play may alt until then.

Overall though I'm getting concerned that they have no real idea what is wrong and no real idea on how to fix it, a lot of the 'known' problems are not officially acknowledged nor are they mentioned as things being handled in upcoming major patches.

My concern is that my sub goes tomorrow and then I am locked in to a payment for something that they are unwilling to out out on the console market yet. So I'll get 6 months of trying to fight lag with my twitchy or have to succumb to a cookie cutter build spamming non class-relevant abilities just to get along... or sacrifice a character I have enjoyed playing to reroll something in one of the working classes.

I really torn between just pulling the sub altogether and yet the bits of this game that work are a pleasure & when I enjoy it I am *really* enjoying it.

I have exactly the same dilemma. The Xbox One version is Windows 8 kernel with DirectX 11. If they aren't willing to ship on Xbox for 6 months+, am I willing to pay for PC for another six months?

Hell, Stormhaven is still rolling back on EU megaserver (DC faction) for all, and has been for 3 weeks. No reply to any of the 30+ forum topics about it, no reply at all to my two support tickets about it. They're just ignoring it. I mean, seriously?

I am getting the same thing. Hotswaps don't occur, abilities and attacks I requested don't always activate. I first noticed it on Tuesday and it has been the case sense. (Not reporting there is a problem, just trying to understand the coincidence.)

@GossiTheDog - This is my problem, if they simply admitted the problems, explained they were a git to fix and they'd keep working on it and keep us posted I'd be more inclined to stick. In a perfect world they'd come clean admit they were not quite ready & kick off everyone's free time come the day 1.1 hits (assuming that fixes most of the worst bugs).

@Armitas - This has been a problem for a while but, for me at least, it has been at the peak times... when it has blocked a quest for me I have been able to come back at a quieter server time and have the fight I assume they intended (and win it).

Now I think there are two issues that we may be seeing - one is the lag/server issue which causes this type of stuff to everyone, but there are also the problems with some of the skill trees of which a DW NB seems to be the worst victim (and typically what I chose to play).

And just dropped my 6months down to a single month - if they haven't fixed it by then I'll write this off as another painful venture into MMOs, stay offline for another 20 years and wait for DA3 to hit.
