Massive warps even with only 6 guys in icon range. According to everyone else, I'm not the only one having problems.

Host Queue looked a lot like a seismograph.

Don't see any problems with the connection when I use pingplotter, average 50 ping or less on every hop out with no packet loss. So... whats the problem?

Last night was the worst ever for me. Frame rates at 35-46 when I am always at 70 or better.

2 Disco's and a semi constant Beacon light.

This is all new! What's going on?

I had to pull out. My 51 was engaged with an F6F, Spit XIV and one other. Everytime they or I managed to sit in 6 position, I and they would warp to new locations. Very bizarre. We continued to fight like this for sometime. I think just because it was so bizarre LOL. But it made the game unplayable and I left following my Lag death into the mountain side with an F6F at my 6.

Definately the worst ive ever seen it.

This is not just tonight, the problem has been everynight once numbers get over 400. What happened to the new server that was being tested? Why was it only up one day?

Big packet loss today, didn't even log on.

Have no idea where it was being lost..

I suck on Sundays anyway..

Logged into the dueling arena, good connect and got my keester handed to me twice by SFOX...

The no doubt about it, a keester kicking..

I suck on Sundays anyway..

Especially in a spit

Dam little flitty things..

It was a 4.6

Must have been worse where you were. I was in a pnzr at the time. Took me a few seconds to realise that firing the main pnzr gun should'nt make the house shake

UK connections have been porked all day anyway thanks to Verio NET (see my post and many replies in the internet connectivity forum). CT was fine BTW. Just logged off from 2 of the best hours dogfighting I have had.

I'm going to have to agree here. Good pings, but MAN was it warpy.

I'd like to think that's why I flew so pitifully poor tonight, but now such luck.

Still, I had about 12 aircraft warp out of sight as I was about to fire.

There is a new session of the Klez Virus doing the rounds, its 130Kb so if theres enough of it - then it may well increase net traffic. I got quite a few hits from it in the weekend.

Servers seem to be quite over-loaded. I don't think AH is going to grow very muhc beyond a certain point until this is resolved. I heard alot of new names tonight with questions along the lines of "Is it always THIS bad?"

It would be a shame to spend so much on advertising and then not be able to deliver a good first impression.

Delay variance in the MA was horrible. Logged into the CA and smooth as silk there.

I usually have very good connects, but tonight was rediculous... cant tell you how many Niki's were warping out the old piper.
