There is currently a lag induced bug that allows one weapon the fire as fast as another weapon if the switch time is longer shorter than the lag they are behind. I was quite amazed at seeing sniper trails flying across the map as fast as a sg2 and hearing rapid fire rocket launchers off in the distance... o.O

This whole lag thing is really friggin annoying.  I mean when I log in it is like there are maybe 4 people actually from north america on the north american server.  It is also annoying as hell because the majority of the people that I see running around the North American server lagging, teleporting, glitching and doing things that should just not be possible are people I have seen on the EU servers and their ping is WAY better on that server.  It is obvious that many are playing on NA with the horrendous ping for the soul purpose of exploiting it.  It is all too obvious when 1st place in a match is always 1 red dot who has been teleporting everywhere and has 3 to 4 times more kills than a skilled player running full green.

PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. 

In the past week I had 8 friends who wanted to come back play one friggin game and quit.  3 of them have uninstalled and refuse to reinstall because the exploiters are not being dealt with.

I have began converting my screens to jpg for upload and will be presenting them to vogster shortly as well, screens have been coming in from other players that have heeded my message and PMed me to get the info on where they can send their screens that I will happily forward to vogster and believe me, there are alot of them, but it is always the same people.  Go figure.  We can see them clear as day yet nobody else seems to notice this crap.

I spent 3 days reporting those i met with the most obvious exploiting because no one ping spikes perfectly everytime someone with a shotgun comes close, but i soon became exhausted and felt like i was spamming the Cheat report feature. 

The main issue is, how on earth can they PROVE someone doesn't have crappy internet and are not switching?

I think the issue isn't to post-actively ban the exploiters, but pre-emptively make it too hard to exploit that it isn't worth it. On another thread I posted an idea for lag switch protection, when it detects a lag spike, freeze the player until the network stablizes. Although this would hurt some users connecting to the US server from across the world, maybe they will stop using the current lag system to there benifit and use a server closer to them... Anyone can keep a stable ping unless they are infested by spyware, so just disallow this and fix the lag induced glitching and it'll be alot better.

Exeter as it stands is lag-wars...

Exactly rich, like i said i know that alot of the exploiters have better ping on the EU server because I have spectated them there.

People that can get better ping on the EU server SHOULD be playing there but they wont because they seem to need the lag in order to perform well.

Dont get me wrong I am not saying that everyone is exploiting the lag but there are some that are and are very obvious and they can even be seen teaching others how to do it.  It is time to clean up the north american server and make the game once again enjoyable for north americans.

 

I also had issues were snipers fired 2-3 HVI rounds in no time behind each other (like if the two bullets were both HVI) with the fire rate of an SMG.

As you can see the HVI is orange, there were 2-3 orange bullets, the rest was white again.

It is pretty much exploited already as it seems.

 

Another thing is: 

I switched from custom profile to a class profile through one of those lags. And somehow I still "used" the clothes of my custom profile. After several hours of playing with classes only, I switched to my custom profile.

And now see, the clothes were all red as if i had used them all the time. That was really annoying because they could have been destroyed that way and still lost much resistance (they were expensive..)

The europeans (like me) playing on the US server because they cant go to the EU. I'm lvl50 with full sets, boosts, 8 bank slot full of materials, 2 complete craft and etc. On EU I'm lvl 31, my bank is empty over there... I dont have any money, I have only one profession which is lvl 60-70...
Whats the solution? Delete my character on EU, and copy the lvl50 from the US. Easy. But no, cant do that... i already wrote 3-4 tickets about this stuff, no solution so far..

It is anyoying as I connect from Australia to play, and I get the best connection on the exeter server but only just.  This last week my lag has been very bad to the point were it is affecting my ability to particapte in pve matches.  I do not exploit the lag issue.

I want to keep playing this game but I am getting sick of this issue, and would really love something to be done. 

To figure out the cheaters from people like me, could the server keep track of someones ping and there current state.  This would indiacte if someone is spiking there connection.

I agree Dean, I really think they should allow EU players that ended up stuck on NA servers because they missed out on the original character duplication a character transfer option.

The more players they satisfy, the more will be willing to upgrade thus the more income and thus the faster they can afford to get more localized servers online.
