I'm really starting to get irritated. In all but two of the battles that I've fought today, I've been dropped in to the battle long after it's started. In one, I got dropped as the battle started, and I actually had a chance at capping a beacon. But what really has set me off, is in several of my battles, the lag has been so bad, that I can't turn my bot towards an oncoming enemy, therefore sustaining severe damage before I can fire on him/her. In my most recent battle on PP, I was heading towards an enemy stalker. As he came around the corner, I pressed my DB. The server started dragging and lagging. The next thing I know, he's gone around another corner after unloading both Pinatas at me, and I haven't even fired yet. A few seconds later, the same thing happened. He came around another corner. I was ready. I pressed my DB, and... lag... shaking slooooooooow mooooootion moooooovement, then he's gone, having unloaded another barrage of pinatas while I'm firing at empty air. He was able two unload to salvos on me, and I couldn't do a thing. By the time I caught up to him, he was safely in the bosom of a Thundage and a PDB, who swiftly dispatched what was left of me.
I tell you. It's uncanny how the lag and drag mostly happens when you're ready to bear down on an enemy. He unloads on you, and you're left in suspended animation, helpless to do anything but explode in to ashes. I almost threw my phone, I was so angry.
I know it's just a game, but doggone it! It gets so frustrating. You wonder if the reds experience this issue, or is it just us blues? I know. I know. I know the thing how everyone appears to be blue from their own prospective. I was just being ironic.
20 minutes later, and I'm still mad.

Times like these, it's best to just turn on the TV and grab a cold one. : )

The server is drunk, it should go home.  |

I lock on a target, move out of cover, shoot into thin air, while having taken an entire salvo to the gut. |

Same here!! Its ridiculous! And it got WAY worse after the latest update with those 「slow」 korean bots. Its almost impossible to play the game.
Now what im seeing, players are just dropping games. Of the games today not a single one has had a full team stay. In one game, within the first 30 seconds my team was down to 2 or 3 players. Its happening almost every game now.

Also, 「fluffernutter」ing too many Gekko Pattons and Noricums. SMH. The gameplay was better when I joined. |

"the lag has been so bad" Last night I fell from D1 to D2 because I couldn't hit anything due to the lag. My avg damage was about 1/4 of what it usually is. I should have stopped playing for the evening, but I kept playing hoping it would improve, but it did not. Seems to be a bit better today though. |

This also makes it nearly impossible to hit dash bots as their dash makes them appear at the lag point where they started until the latency catches up and their halfway across the screen. Meanwhile you've wasted all you've got by unloading and really letting that rock or patch of earth know how you feel about it. And yes, I haven't seen the first thirty seconds of a match in but probably 2 of my last 10 matches.

So far, my "favorite" aspects:
-- Walking and seeing 1/4 of my health disappear without any animation of being hit by what or where.
-- Levitating Griffins and then Griffins about to land then glitch back to the jump arc then landing; while I stand with no loaded weapons and they are the same health before I shot.
-- The dash bot that got to start the game before everyone else. Blues and the rest of the reds where still in the countdown while this bot already captured a beacon before anyone else got to move.

Blues and the rest of the reds where still in the countdown while this bot already captured a beacon before anyone else got to move. Excellent point. Thanks for bringing that up. Several times now, I'm watching the countdown, and everyone but me starts walking towards beacons while I still have four or five seconds left, and I have to wait until my countdown gets to zero. I don't think it's me, because it happens when I'm on different wifi routers, and even when I'm on 4G. My Galaxy S7 Edge isn't that old, so I don't think it's the tech of the phone. |

It's a massive re-balance -- they nerfed the whole server.
It's been horrible again tonight -- constant disconnects everywhere, in the game, in the hangar, trying to open clans, leagues, chat, major lagging and stuttering. Good to see they're putting all that black market windfall to good use.

I have never lagged in this game until recently as well!
It is so bad, that reds will disappear from in front of me, then repair behind me unloading their payload into me and im pretty much dead before i can even react.
It has been happening way way too much. not even dash bots, often the heaviest slowest walking bots, like natashas n such...
Additionally, I made sure it wasnt my personal internet connection. I have tested on T1 connections, friends internets, and even wired adapter connections straight into my android phone!
No matter, the lag is constant. I hope they fix this, or at the VERY least acknowledge the problem and that they are trying to work on it!
