I finally got round to logging into the current build and... I was actually able to play, like a real game, okay still with a bit of lag at times but it was actually FUN and not the frustrating slog through treacle I've grown accustomed to. Whatever you guys did for this release, bravo, it seems to be working! *applauds*
The Lag epidemic at Celestis seems to have quelled significantly. The patch might have reduced the load on the resources needed there. Hooray!
They didn't do anything, the lag was in your head the whole time you just needed to open your heart and accept SotA.
DAMN! It was all in my head! Those 5 second spikes were all not real! On a positive note, leaving our community Tavern there even while escaping on an Airship was a 20/20 hindsight then.
