I know this isn't new, but this lag issue is absolutely FRACKED up. It's not internet lag either. Way too many have great ping times, bandwidth, etc.
It's the server not doing it's calculations fast enough. Unreal that you basically can't use your stealth bots. Inquistors getting tracked at the apex of a jump? That's 2 or 3 seconds. My stalker basically gets 3 seconds of stealth.
I have yet to get one of those lag symbols on screen and yet this just gets worse and worse and worse. I finally adjusted my stalker game play, but didn't on inqy and when I say i'm still getting tracked 2 or 3 seconds... i mean it. It's total BS. Maybe you still have a few seconds after your stealth wears off, but don't count on that.
So GD irritating that a company that makes this much money can't even provide decent servers.
Hey, at least we get to watch Kumi's skipping all over the gotdang place, and who doesn't love teleporting griffs?
UNPLAYABLE

Because of this issues Iam nailed a lot when playin w Dash Bots. In FFA you have to handle quick against 2 but the Lag makes it impossible.

I know what you mean, I get both.. network lag, and then something else.. stuttering, freezing, pausing??
Call it what you like but something went horribly wrong in 4.0 and the crashing started for me in 3.9
All I can tell ya at least for me is the problems are less severe in FFA.

Also what Ive noticed is that scourge dont fire in time while iam in range and fully loaded, lag gives a big handicap.

I'm sorry to have ranted like that, it's just so frustrating to have a strategy that has worked effectively for a while, then have to throw it all away because the game can't keep up for whatever reason. Got home tonight and implemented the wait. Was able to actually capitalize on the "lag" and just shift everything by 2 seconds. Did somewhat better. But it's not instinctual yet. I led every orkan by much farther than I used to. Counted to 2 before moving out with my stealth bots, etc.
I know we bash on Pix a lot here, but holy smokes, the money they're supposedly making, think they could at least get the basics down. I can live with shocktrains, and OP Tankers, but if you can't consistently bank on game play actually working, then what's the point?

New abilities and boosters are just too much for the game to handle well. They released too much at one time.

I get the scourge issue but only after I do a manual reload... might be coincidence.. I dont use emulator. My reload goes automatically (android user). But the scourge even when still half ammo when go to next target it dont light up so i can't fire while iam in range. Because of that you will be hit out very fast on the map Rome (FFA) since players are compact.

I guess I'm not alone in getting my bots blown away after they freeze for 15 seconds, it makes for EZ kills for a lucky somebody. As it's said:"One man's meat's another man's poison "
