In most active times it is hell. Before merge i played with good FPS in all battles except invasions.

Now only with our zerg i drop to 30-40FPS and on big battle it is constant freezes, lags and slideshow. Even messages in chat are lagging back with 10sec or more.

In less active times around midnight EU time things get relatively better with lags and freezes.

Big thumbs up NGD battles are awesome and alot fun. :thumb:

Maybe, but shouldn't a game developer make sure, people will enjoy their stay now instead of someday...maybe?

"Hey there's this game with super-awesome mass-pvp. But it freezes and crashes every other second and lags like hell."
"Hey there's this game, no real mass-pvp but quite fun to play. And it runs amazingly stable. No crashes, no freezes, no mentionable lags."

What do you think, which one of those games would be preferred by new players?

Dont worry about the time it takes for you to come online.. thats 5min for me normally
{loading screen1-login character-loading screen2}
(even before merge)
I would be surprised if that ever changed xD

I do agree NGD has done some great things and with time they might be able to fix
some problems here. I do hope they fix the right ones ;)

Its true there's a lot of lag and it would be nice if ngd focused on fixing that. Personaly though i'm overly happy I'm on a server where I can go to war anytime I log, in large groups that fight seriously instead of farming or getting farmed on the way between the save and the fort. Seriously, Horus can burn. :punk:

For Linux guys here. I was with latest driver 295.40. In nvnews forum there is a thread that this driver have some performance regression. I tried 295.20 now and maybe FPS are more stable.

Not so sure if true i will test day or two.
