Is Massive and/or Ubi going cheap?
What is wrong with the server lag nowadays. There seems to be a huge increase in the loading times, lag and server response times. Just tried kill a boss and actually needed my Recovery Link during the fight. I noticed that when fights start the frame rate dropped so much you can hardly shoot straight or move around. But of course server side all bullets are flying in my direction resulting in massive damage at once when the packages arrived. Never had the RLink pop in LZ before, normally it only takes few hits to take them down. And whenever you get close to the boundary of the dark zone performance drops significantly as well for whatever reason, I am still roaming in my private session without other players, or at least it should be. Same happens when you go to base, always notice that loading icon in bottom right corner, which also never happened in the past. I am sure it isn't my connection because I can download a game of 70GB under 2 hours.
I suppose they are either losing money on The Division franchise and drastically cutting costs on server performance. Or they just don't care anymore and let The Division 1 just die out hoping that remaining players will go out and buy TD2. Either way I think it is cheap and totally not respecting their customer base. And I am not speaking for those who spent thousands of hours already like myself but for those who very recently bought the game. It is just shameful and it completely convinces me of not buying the sequel because that is what eventually will happen for that game as well. But apparently players have to deal with huge lag and never ending stream of bugs in there already.
