Next Patch fixes the lagg?

I have played several games now and every game started to lagg very heavy after a short time and I dont think the maps were big.

The last patch was 20 days ago and we still have the problems that make the game unplayable.
When will it be fixed, when will the new patch come? Why does it take so much time? Last time I heared performance or bandwidth should be easy to fix problems. Just add more servers?

Why does the next balance patch take so much time? How is the community supposed to help test if the iteration of changes is so slow? At the current speed it will take years to achieve what you want to have.
Why dont you let the community solve your problems? Just tell exactly how the game should be played and people will solve it way faster than you ever could. I am sure lots of the problems you are struggling with are already fixed in other games similar to PA.

You are kitten woman.

WOW Bhaal.. are you trolling much?

Game development takes time. It's a task that involves a lot of work and planning. And what's even worse:
Plans can change while being in the process, depending on how changes are being adapted by the community.

It's a very iterative process. Balancing a game like this isn't easy. Especially because of the fact that maps around round, instead of squares, which calls for a whole different balancing method than any other game requires.

I mean, most people agree that it's hard and takes time to balance this thing right. But at the same time most people don't hesitate when giving their opinions on the matter.

Just be in the know, that Uber knows how to do their job. They're very experienced developing this kind of game.
And scathis isn't just some random guy. He has worked on many big titles.

And performance is something that is an ongoing process. There will be very many little steps of improvement in between, and from time to time there will be big steps, too. But it just takes time. And I'm pretty sure that the guys at Uber are working day and night already and are not wasting any.

The way Uber works means that there is no ETA. Nobody can tell you why it takes so long, and when it will be ready.

The only thing we can do is being patient and having faith in Uber.

Wow dude, really?

Its stupid to do a final pass on performance when all features are not currently in game. Everytime you add something to a game, optimization needs to be done again and so does balance. So instead of doing this over and over and over again, Uber is doing it right by waiting to the end to fledge out performance and polish.

Everybody has lag right now, and we are aware that this is going to be the case due to active devolopment, so chill.

Attacking uber to make your point is childish.

Everything in PA has improved over time, Anyone who was here for the first Alpha builds knows the game has come a looooooooooooong way since then! ;p

Hopefully some performance improvements will come shortly. I think they have some resources assigned to this.

I havent actually been able to play a game at all yet due to the low FPS.

Nice troll post, but I would also like a patch "soon" Hope we get one this week

They are at PAX East, i wouldn't expect a patch this week.

That's where you'd be wrong because PA is kind of first of its kind.
All in all, I hope yous is trollin.

The OP is not 'attacking' Uber. They have valid criticisms, even if their suggestions are not.
Performance does need a lot of work, and there are certainly optimizations that can be done that aren't directly related to new units or features. That doesn't mean they're top priority, and it doesn't mean they can be done quickly.
It has been quite some time since the last balance patch as well, and I'm sure there are others who aren't so fond of the current balance and would like to see an experimental balance branch (which I think Uber is considering, here's hoping).

It's clear the OP doesn't know how much work is needed to tackle performance issues, based on the solutions they suggested.
Calling them a 'troll' is dismissive and honestly just wrong.

Thats why I expect them to talk about the biggest current problems so the people who gave them the opportunity to work on such a project know whats going on and adjust their expectations.

Ahaha... and you probably thought that *I* was the worst one in a matter of b•tching around

No, I'd say the guy threatening to give the game 0 on metacritic if the devs didn't do exactly what he wanted and then posting on the forums demanding that Uber get steam to reimburse him was the worst.

They wont be all at it, probs Brad + 2.

Actually the Studio feels really empty right now, they had a few people already getting set-up ready and with more of the way as well. Things are still going to happen but it depends on the people who didn't go as to what gets done obviously.

Mike

Heh, I miss that guy, he was funny.

Not much but could not resist this one.

The thing i'm looking forward to the most is offline mode to be honest or full release as the say.
