hard to kill anyone if they just run to the dem zone, would be nice if you couldn't go in to the dem zone if you are in combat.

 

Logged in to see Refractions up today, I got excited and joined in to see a ton of fellow ally ships gearing up for battle. I went out and fought alongside my cross-server VRU pilots and engaged a giant pack of enemies. I encountered a lot of lag when there appeared to be around 40-50 players on my screen at once, but this was expected. I tried to isolate myself from the pack of them, picked one off and went back to start shooting another and then the game froze for a few seconds. A million thoughts rolled around in my head about how I'm probably dead, or alive but barely, or maybe I got lucky and it logged me out. After about a minute it unfroze; A Christmas miracle! I was still alive and nobody was near me! I quickly isolated myself and pressed the "Exit" button and it took about 10 seconds for it to place me safely back in my x-1 map. All in all, it was a good experience except the lag and freezing. Maybe a 40 player limit on who can join, possibly make multiple servers like in UBA. Great idea, though. Much appreciated to the work being put towards this.

 

yeah dose dose lag abit try and get away from nmes and still see shots coming from off my screen meaning my screen is not where i am my pet shows me where i really am fun getting stuck in but its a small step in the right direction coudl do with a few changes as u can see 1 player when they are using ring and speccy and asoon as you get them low hp they run behind the stack and you think what a waste of ammo maybe if there was a goal like

 

a few of us are having an issue with a blank box for refractions tab. could you reset please

 

help me i was fine entering refraction at first but since restart now its just counting and counting plz let me pop people can u plz check this out for me flip

 

It was a complete disaster for me. There were like 10 sec lag constantly, totally unplayable. When I switch configs I ended up inside the wall for some reason. I was so bad that when I finally lock someone by chance after the next lag the enemy just jump on the other side of the wall. My ship wasn't able to log out and then on the later attempts it wasn't able to log in and finally it stuck inside for like 15 min. Good thing I was able to get it out via ship switching option. Overall it was a complete mess and nothing actually worked. And what is that strange message that "I have found something" where I shoud look about that thing or is it just another glitch.

I am still unable to access R-zone.
Thought at one point I was actually in there .. popped an enemy but did not count towards mission count, so was still on my server maps.
Tried loads to get into R-zone.. nothing but a window that can only be seen if you put pointer over it.. but it's blank.

US 4

I am getting the same

 

To be honest you guys did good job ! Big applause for programmers, designers, team leaders, QA etc. ! What we need here is obviously some way to be able to recognise clan members as we know somebody can use same name if he play on different server. What I also would love to see is the the server initials at the end of the nickname like [CLAN] Nickname [GE1] Just so we know who is that player. What we need is a mission control station for each fractions. So far I don't see any bad things on the cross map need to play for longer !

 

Blank refraction tab here too, was in there earlier got half the daily mission done but now cant get back int

 

I have the same , Blank refraction .

 

I also want to know why some people can do the Cross Server battle and other's can't because the refratcion is blank and they areon the same server ?

 

The refraction zone was a great experience. The balance was fine and I didn't have any laggs.

 

Sorry, the refraction zone was a good idea in itself, BUT...

- there are just players with Spectrum
- two full shield configs with ring formation
- run away with EMP + cloak
- players from my company can attack me ( that is really so senseless )

The ammunition waste is to big. Well, there are many players in your company but you waste so much ammunition.

It is just a map like: stupid shooting. Just shot on any target and nothing else. There is no tactic to win.

 

help me plz my internet is fine and can do anything but loading refractions in game takes ages and when its loaded it jumps lags and take a min or so to work again and this is constant plz look at this as it anoying as main game is perfectly fine peace out

 

Cross-over was interesting but still needs a lot of work, looks like some-one didn't take into account the severe laggyness that would be
caused with a small server, to the point of freezing up, when only 45 players on line, but am used to that with the lagg on home map with
far less players, the lagg is so bad in fact that u don't even know ur dead until u end up respawning. ur use of small servers is what causes
this lag, u really need to start using largers servers like the ones cable companies use, this will allow for the exsessive amount of players, on a server. But as it stands good work on completing something new.

if ur are not at a certain level in the game u won't be able to play on refrection.

 

So... i have basically been left with this for the last 1hr 10mins, after trying to get access to the Refraction Zone. see pics! i cannot swap ship, cannot connect to game and for all intent purposes my Ship appears to be lost!? jmho, not the best update implemented, or received, well not actually received it myself as i mention cannot access game at all!!

ok, so i cannot add images here without a URL, but basically my ship hanger states my ship is no where, there is no map number etc and connection box just keep scrolling

 

Have to say the R-ZONE was pretty fun The company raids did kind of have an old school feel to it If i could change one thing I would make DEMIL zone have a 3 second cool down when you retreat back to it.

 

refractions is good just the lag issue and it freezes up more often now than when it first came out and when trying to join or leave there is an issue trying to establish connection it gets stuck at the connection information screen this is a new problem logging out n back in is only way it seems to reset it

 

It simply dont put me in cross server i press join and it get me back in 1-1 map where i was after a few seconds. I cant join it :/
