no no bobble heads on a screen is far more important. seriously though i just think the the bugs are

a} held off for completely new systems to take over before they start fixing it up.

b} making a bobble head is like making a paper plane, fixing the lag netcodes errors is like navigating concorde through the eye of a supernova. with added coal.

It's amazing what a simple post in a forum, by a dev, can do to mollify the rage of the masses.

Let's hope we get more of it in the future.

Exactly. Even a simple response like this, saying "We have people working on it, don't worry" will calm down many many people.

Came expecting sarcasm and ********. Instead your words soothe my soul.

[Rifton]

Completely agree with everything said so far.

I work on the recieving end of an IT dept. and I know that the code crunchers in IT are unsung heroes who get very little appreciation (and not a little scorn and derision).

I'm really enjoying MWO so far (almost 800 matches and counting since the beginning of Open Beta) warts and all and have faith in that PGI will solve the major issues to make it even more fun .

As someone else pointed out, when the netcode fixes come they will do so in a major fashion, changing everything (hopefully for the better ). Looking forward to it!

Bump for justice.

[MoonUnitBeta]

Last time I bump this for the guys working on Netcode. Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for saying such great things!

yes you touched my heart. those sad souls have to live through codding hell to pull a fix for well intended but fundamentally flawed game design out there ***. ultimately giving us 12 vs. 12.... still the games max speed needs to be higher and eliminate the lag shield. i don't see that happening.

[Razorin Faust]

I would like to point out that the Programmer that specifically work on the netcode are not that far into martyrdom.

Unlike normal company desk job, they are not working a 8 hours shift with small break sitting before this sack of knot.
I do believe they are in the same office than the other people, and benefit from a relaxed environement with facility to blow off steam.

As in, arcade, ping-pong table, and so on.

Dont see this post, as an attack on them. Just pointing out that this is not a ****** job as you guys would think ( Tough far less "fun" than other side of the project).

Also, on a mildly relevent topic : Region server, When the **** ?!

Whatever they did this patch, they have made this into a different game. I am not noticing the need to lag shoot, AT ALL, any more.

I just landed repeated shots on a full speed spider, at 600m, with AC fire... Simply seeing the shots hit, means they actually hit... which is awesome.

Give a bonus to the guys who fixed this stuff.

Hmmmm... I would expect that if you fire a 1200kph AC round at a target 600m away moving 150kph, you should still have to lead them by 20m. If not we may be dealing with reverse lag.

That's the thing..

I have to lead them, but it's only due to the travel time of the weapon.

I no longer have to intentionally miss in front of them to score a hit... I just need to lead by an appropriate amount, such that my shots hit the mech on my screen.

You need to lead a target with AC fire.. but you do not need to lag shoot.

[Mike Silva]

It seems better. My Commando is actually taking damage from direct fire weapons now. The game is more fun.

[xX_Nero_Xx]

hey i have a big complaint...... wtf am i suppose to do with all these lag shooting skillz now

[Viper69]

Anyone reading my posts in the last two months would know i was upset but just reading everyones feelings about this patch makes me anxious to get home from work and try it.

[Mike Silva]

I hope all the crybabies man up and show some sincere appreciation. I've only been active again for a few days and all the hate I've seen on the subject was enough to make me want to stay off the forums.
