Its terrible -- can't hardly do anything with players and myself instantly jumping all around (as if the server is confused on where to put my character, or for that matter, where the other players actually are) By the way, love the game!!!!! Keep up the awesome job guys and gals! Thanks,

I got one question regarding downtime though. When you announce a 'short' fix like today could you please give either a more accurate timeframe or just make the estimate wider than you expect it to? I came home from bringing away my laundry 2.5 hrs ago and see the message 'server down should be up within an hour'. So i'm like "fine, message probably is up for a while already, i'll make some food and get to playing untill i can pick up my laundry". Intead i've been firing up the game every 10 mins for the last 2 hrs I'd much rather see a message "server down for 3 hrs" only to find out its back up after 1.5hrs. just lie to me for my own good plz! fakeedit: by the time i finished this post server is actually up \o/ still, i could have watched a movie rather than OCD on my T:A shortcut every few mins

Hi,
i've started playing this 2 days ago and LOVING it so far, thanks for that!

I got one question regarding downtime though. When you announce a 'short' fix like today could you please give either a more accurate timeframe or just make the estimate wider than you expect it to?

I came home from bringing away my laundry 2.5 hrs ago and see the message 'server down should be up within an hour'. So i'm like "fine, message probably is up for a while already, i'll make some food and get to playing untill i can pick up my laundry". Intead i've been firing up the game every 10 mins for the last 2 hrs

I'd much rather see a message "server down for 3 hrs" only to find out its back up after 1.5hrs.
just lie to me for my own good plz!

fakeedit: by the time i finished this post server is actually up \o/ still, i could have watched a movie rather than OCD on my T:A shortcut every few mins

Re: Mar 22, 2012: Additional Backend Testing Today

Actually I was just wondering why I couldn't join any servers after queueing. You totally need an error message for "queueing failed, no servers found" or something.

I can still practice skiing in Roaming or tweak my .ini, thanks for leaving the login server online :-)

BTW, @dustinsilva: playing on London or Amsterdam servers yesterday everything went smooth. Latency seemed the usual one. Do you play any other online shooters to test whether it's a problem on your end?

(Edit) I could play on Brazillian servers no problem (290ms latency), but joining EU queue had me waiting forever. On game exit, I could briefly see a "lost connection to server" dialog that wasn't shown to me before.
