Fuck you turbine, fuck you for making me grind 2 TR's on my first TR toon, fuck you for nerfing glancing blows, fuck you for nerfing TWF, fuck you for slowing combat down (again).
Fuck you for not even replying or making a comment on all of this for over 2 weeks in a thread with 150+ pages.
Seriously, fuck you.
I like this guy already.
I've been having trouble filling in my spare time and had been considering coming back for a bit... but I know the combat slowdown will drive me absolutely nuts.
What really kills me is that they "discovered" the real problem in a Llama thread earlier this month, thanks to someone doing some studies. The
REAL cause of DPS lag is their artificial bandwidth cap. US players are capped at 20.5kbps. Once you start using a weapon with lots of magical effects (or otherwise increasing the amount of data transfer to reach that cap), lag starts kicking in.
Here's the real kicker: not only is Turbine aware of this problem, they have the ability to raise the cap on the fly. In other words, the utilities to change it already exist. How do we know this? Apparently European users do not share the same bandwidth cap.
Here's the thread on the matter:
