    Lag/server not being able to keep up is definitely contributing to this. What you see on-screen is not always what's happening on the server. See also: people complaining about cheaters (no: again, what you see on-screen is not always what's happening on the server).

    I suspect even the level scaling bugs we talked about some months ago are due to this.

    Same for........drum roll......hit registration issues.

    All these issues boil down to crappy servers/netcode, even when playing solo (always online design).

    Yup. Pretty much this.

    People who want to think the devs are out to get them should consider this quote very carefully:

    "Never attribute to malice what can be explained by incompetence."


    The original quote says "stupidity" at the end, but I think this version is a bit more fitting.

    When going in an elevator the re spawn is different for everyone - some spawn right away players like me must wait a painfully long time to spawn as the game trys to catch up - you can hear the battle going on but your still waiting to spawn. Back ground is white when spawning and then comes into view. Skills sitting idol not taking commands - button for the vendor take a bit of time to appear - lots of evidence of a lag but obviously not for all players.
