DB - your fix to reduce lag backfired

Lag for the faction event is now worse. It takes 2-3 seconds to open a faction mission, and it takes 5-6 seconds for a completed mission to show success/failure. i can count 3-5 animations of the circle around the reward claim before the success screen shows up

And, likewise, painful lag.
So lots of lag + less choice + display errors...!
There obviously “fixing” something they don’t wanna talk about
I mean if it was true then surely the lag would be better right?
I just hate the PR spinning junk. DB: Just come out and say it is to nerf the kick start. I'd still be mad, but I would at least respect the honesty. This is just insulting lol
I think you're all just upset that your little cheat no longer works. As someone who only found out about this cheat when everyone started moaning about it this week, I'm happy that I'm actually being rewarded for my efforts in a shuttle event for a change.
I've also had cleaner starts.
This sample of one indicates that the fix is both an improvement and detriment to lag.
Lol you haven't been on the forums long then huh? Seems like every month there's been several mentions of it in one thread or another.
I occasionally visit the forums and have done since the game was initially released, two years and two forums ago. Do I religiously follow all threads? No. I have a life.
I did searches and found how-to's in over 10 event threads.
Don't say hey I never knew about that without at least reading through those.
I don't wish to "kickstart". Am happy that it no longer lags because of players using it.
I don’t really mind the reduction as it basically makes a three faction event (18) similar to how you have to start one faction (20 missions) events (basically every hybrid).
The 12 fewer missions probably saved me five minutes at event start which is nice since I’m trying to fit it in during a lunch break.

So because others aren't playing the way you play we are cheating? That's interesting. How about this though, you half **tsk tsk** your play and get upset when others don't?
Now... yes, you attempted to fix something that wasn't broken and broke it. Lag left, right and centre and two errors just trying to load the game.
Good work DB. Remind me again why I'm VIP 14 more than twice over because gosh, golly gee Wally I sure don't know.
You are also missing my point.
The thread title says "DB - your fix to reduce lag backfired" How has it backfired? It may not have worked but backfired?
Alot of Angrys in here.
This and the impact (good or bad) of less unique missions will be analyzed as part of our efforts to improve performances as was said when we announced the change.
A strategy is not a cheat. It was completely within the normal confines of gameplay. My fleet has been using it since the game started pretty much and it has gained a lot of popularity recently, hence the lag problems.
...and why does are cheat gotta be ‘little’...I thought it was big of us
The logical thing to do is upgrade the servers, not downgrade the game. While you of course can't comment on, and as a community manager may not even be privy to the financial status of DB, on the surface one would think that a developer that has the licence for three major entertainment franchises could afford adequate servers.
