    Lag on Xbox is insane. Some comments about patch 1.4

    Literally unplayable in the DZ. The moment I step outside of a checkpoint or a DZ safehouse, I lag constantly. Every second or two, my game freezes for multiple seconds in a row. Not touching the game until it's somehow fixed... I was really looking forward to this patch, but this is pissing me off. And my whole squad was having the same problem. I'm sure this will get fixed eventually, but come on.. Patch after patch after patch after patch... This is tiresome. It's difficult to be objective about the patch after being let down repeatedly, though I understand Massive is working on it. All they gotta do is talk to me about it and I guarantee most of the problems will be fixed.

    Oh yeah and everyone STILL running around with shotguns and shotguns are still the best PvP guns in the game.

    I know Massive was aiming for balance with this patch, and I think they were at least somewhat successful. It's a mixed bag. Many good quality of life improvements were made, but weapon balancing is still lacking. All weapons should be viable. All the decent weapon Talents were nerfed but the stat requirement to unlock them remains unchanged. I don't know how many tries it will take for Massive to balance weapons. This isn't hard. Give LMG's higher base damage and more stability. Make shotguns into high-risk, high-reward weapons. Right now they're only high-reward, without the risk. SMG's are simply underpowered. Need a small boost to base damage. Sniper rifles rate of fire, ADS time, and reload speed should be drastically lowered, and bullet damage dramatically increased. They should be high-risk, high-reward weapons, like shotguns 'ought to be.

    LMG's are still garbage.

    SMG's suck.

    AR's look like they'll be replacing SMG's. My friend has an AK with 18.5k weapon damage.

    Sniper Rifles are all bad.

    High End armor Talents are all still absolutely terrible. This is what I am most disappointed about. High End gear is almost completely useless, and most of the ones that seem somewhat viable (reckless chest, savage gloves) have been nerfed.

    I was going down the patch notes for 1.4, and became disgusted when I saw almost every single thing in the game has been nerfed, as far as items are concerned. Some things deserved to be nerfed, like Pulse and Smart Cover. Shotguns are still too good.

    I like the changes to Nomad and the former B.L.I.N.D. set.

    Having almost every single item I own become instantly obsolete overnight sucks, but I understand why it had to be that way.

    All loot dropping in any activity is a great change.

    There are a lot of other changes, but they are overshadowed by the lag. I spend more time with my game frozen than I do being in control of my character. That isn't hyperbole, that's literally how the game is in the DZ.

    There is a way to change the server you are on. Not sure how you do it, but might be worth you looking around for a guide or something on it.

    Group management screen, then there is a link under where you can mute a player or leave group etc..find a better server option, will only work if it detects a better sever or if your sever you on is indeed bad and can move you to a better one
