Well my 10th FRE of the last 4 hours has forced me out of game and onto the forums for my customary pre-sleep bitch-at-kk.

I've heard people say lots of times that Saturn is a bit laggy. Being a Plutonian until recently this didn't bother me much. But now I've moved to Saturn...

...and by god, how the fuck do you people put up with that shit O_o

You must have the patience of a saint, because after 4 days (today being by far the worst, but all worse than Pluto at it's worst) I'm about ready to do unspeakable violent things to anyone daft enough to stand still long enough to take the blame. :mad:

I think he's referring to the fact that 3/4 of the time when you're shooting at somebody, they stop moving for about 8* seconds, then disappear completely, and about 2* seconds later, you're at 21* hp and can't move.


*-your mileage may vary by a couple of seconds and/or hitpoints

Is now a good time to say that, personally I very rarely, if ever, FRE/crash? 8|

I play on both Saturn and Pluto, and only get a little lag on Saturn whereas Pluto is near perfect. Having said that, I'm fairly near the servers (South West of England), but I *am* on dial-up.

Hmm.

Peace.

Not that I play staturn much, but pluto has been extra laggy these last few weeks and I've been getting more FRE then ever before. My ping has been jumping from about 150-200 to over 1000 at times. O_o

I have to admit Saturn is in need of a doctor's checkup =P . Its been rather lag spikish lately. pluto isnt as bad as it was but it isnt good either. But it sure as hell is alot better than Saturn atm lol. Hopefully it will be looked at. I'll try and see what i can do. :) *begins brainwashing GM friends to restart the servers* BWAHAHAH!

Doubt it, they would probably upgrade to a healthy hamster first.

Ah the weekly Saturn lag thread.

Has KK ever offered a public explanation as to the cause of Saturn's lag?

Sounds like we may have found one of the answers to Vetts earlier question about why some people have stayed on pluto.

Sorin

I know what they did. Remember when Uranus used to lag to hell and back? Well KK went like this:

/set transfer_lag_to_saturn 1

Anyways, some sort of real explanation would be nice, other than the obligatory blaming of Level 3.

Sorin, Ever work tech support?

Thats the golden parachute kid. "thanks for calling (insert ISP here). How can I help you tonight?"

(insert bitchy customer here)

(Tech waiting for opportunity... steady, steady, wait for it...)
(there!)

"You see Mr Shmuckatelly, your connection to (insert game server/bizzare llama sex site/gambling site here) is routed over many networks, and as this traceroute shows the server that is bottlenecking doesnt reside on our network, your best course of action will be to contact that provider and advise them that 85.302.482.31 is having issues." (knowing full well Mr Shmuckatelly will not.)

"Is there anything else I can help you with? Thank you for calling."

The golden parachute, a techsupport agents best friend, aside from the "mute" button on his phone.

It's hard to leave Pluto; you invest a LOT of time into one char, it's a real painful experience to leave them behind. The lag (and crazy economy) on Saturn don't really appeal much either, but for me anyway that wasn't the main reason I hesitated for months before moving over.

Yea no doubt, I've got a char on saturn but he probably wont do much, starting over isnt all that fun and what with the lag, and the economy that is straight fucked up its ass... I'll stick with Pluto.

my hobby is mc5ing on saturn on sunday ... why ? because the lag makes it even more fun :)

no kidding, you have the full place for you alone cause they all die outta lag anyway :P

when ya play saturn since day one then ur used to it and you work around the lag :) ya allready know ya gotta be carefull when the pings glide to 1499 and such :)

with the chaoscaves its diffrent: how ca ya level fast when ya get stuck infront of 20 critters every 2 minutes :P but certainly sumthing ya have to go true to experience saturn to the fullest :P
