  1. The only lag I have been encountering is region based. My PC has been able to perform with minimal FPS drop even during the most hectic Fomorian event missions or Defense Missions. Still staying over 20 FPS at the worst of times.

     

    I keep my Ping Limit set to 250 (.25 seconds of lag) as a way to avoid horrifically laggy games. Recently however it seems the only games available are too high. So I moved to 350 accepting the fate of bad lag. Still no games. This means that the average game currently has over .35 seconds of lag most likely over .5 seconds which is nearing very hard to play levels.

     

    Yes, seems like the base ping went up quite high in the past days. Several times this weekend I've seen a dialog when searching for a squad (match making), saying that all games have been rejected due to the ping and my ping limit (set to 300).

    If I finally found a host, 7 out of 10 seem to lag pretty wildly. I measured it by standing in front of the door and counting the seconds it takes the door to open - and sometimes it took up to 10 seconds, that is 10.000ms lag!

    With this lag, the game starts to bug quite bad. Other players vanish, I only see dead enemies, no more damage numbers, dead players move around and can not be revived, energy orbs do not refill energy, ...

  2. Love those people here responding always in the same way in every thread: "It must be you, the game is fine".

     

    The game is NOT fine! I experience the same thing and all of my mates do, too. If the connection is slow, fps go down too - as host and as client. I must agree, I have never seen this in any other game, but warframe seems to be special...

     

    Warframe needs dedicated servers, the amount of (uncompressed, redundant) data that has to be communicated is simply too much for the average internet connection. Just look how out of 10 random games, 7 lag like hell. Don't tell me now all those lag hosts need better internet connections.

  3. You get some drops at least. I probably had 10-20 stalker encounters since he drops stuff, but NO DROP at all...I'm serious. I can post screenshots to prove that.

    I'm starting to wonder if my client is somehow bugged and I don't see the drop orbs...

  4. my upload peaks at around 80kb/s (1MBit), which s not enough at all. buddys report very bad lag on every mobile / endless defense map with many enemies around. also my TS3 voice starts sounding like a sick robot, i think that speaks for itself. I have never had any issues hosting other games though and 80 kb/s up should suffice, so warframe's netcode / bandwith efficiency must be really, really bad...

  5. I guess Torid should be pretty great in defense after the latest update. At least I'm having lots of fun with it, but still leveling, currently rank 14. You can stack those nasty clouds up right where the enemies rush in, putting out tons of AOE damag. With the last update the cloud damage is affected by every damage mod (including serration). The enemies also seem to keep ticking by dot even after they leave the cloud and the cloud wasn't attached in the first place (which is what I have seen, Wiki states something else).

     

    But I don't know how it compares to Ogris, I guess they put out quite equal damage, with the difference that the Ogris deals instant damage while Torid's cloud stays on for 12s and ticks 12 times. (which can be a good thing if you want to defend multiple spots). Plus you can stack Torids clouds as often as you want.

  6. Some say go as far as possible, others say quit at 5, rinse and repeat. Personally, I have never found keys on higher wave rewards, alway on wave 5 Io or wave 10 Kiliken (because Kiliken wave 5 is too low to drop any keys).

     

    As cknives says:

     

    You only doing wave 5 then reset?

     

    Only wave 5 has the 10% chance. Once you go past it you go into crazy odds territory.

     

    Wave 5 ~10% chance of a tier 1 key

     
  7. I've been pretty successfully farming T1 keys on Io, got 7 keys out of probably 30-40 runs. However a buddy never has seen one key and farmed the hell out of Io, so we tried farming together. In total we farmed about 12 hours over 4 days (thank god for the long weekend in germany), that might well be 70 runs, probably more. We did not see one single key(!!!). I should add that my buddy always hosted the matches. So we obviously became very frustrated but also a bit suspicious, so I hosted a few matches. Guess what happend? Two key rewards in the first 5 missions. Just bad luck/conicidence or some kind of weird RNG calculation factor based on hosts? We will further investigate with me hosting the next matches...

  8. Hi all,

     

    yesterday I played my banshee and noticed a higher than normal energy orb pickup. When I looked at my energy, it was 239/240, and I could still pick up more orbs without my energy going up to 240/240. This happend until I used a power to drain some energy, after that it refilled properly to 240 and I couldn't pick up more energy, the orbs stayed on the ground.

     

    I hope you will find the bug!

     

    Kind regards

  9. How can anyone read that banshee got nerfed? It clearly states that sound quake does more damage (amounts) and since sound quake hits multiple times, another added hit equals more damage.

     

    However the patch notes do not seem to include banshees new ability to take damage while casting sound quake... :(

  10. I got the systems and the chassis on various defense missions and alerts, but I have farmed at least 20 runs on Xini to get the helmet. Yesterday it finally showed up on the reward screen :) Anyway, while farming for the helmet, I also got 2 systems and 1 chassis from Xini. The two Europa defense missions are also rewarding with banshee parts.

  11. Been doing a lot of defense missions lately trying to get the banshee helmet. As far as I can tell, there seem to be some preferred mods or even a list of mods which can show up as defense reward. Hellfire sure is one of them, I also get a lot of Focus, Streamline and Vital Sense.

  12. It's host problem not your side, I having same problems for as long I remember playing this game as well. I run into this everyday and my internet speed is 58 mbps.  Even you got high performance computer, but if you join laggy host it THE END of enjoyment.  This game currently having problem with Hosting game and During changing host.

     

    Well if you read the topic, you would know that I AM the host when my PC starts lagging :) I know that if there is a crappy host, the game lags too but only network lag, no fps lag. That is exactly what my friends are experiencing when I host a game, though I I think I have a connection capable for hosting.

     

    is your NAT set to open? that usually gives you better connection with other ppl and most of the time makes you host

     

    Thanks, I will look that up as soon as I get home.

  13. has this just happened today? cause i run about the same scept i have GTX 650 Ti an i run perfectly fine on high specs with the nividia particles as i like to call em

     

    Happens since I started playing warframe for the first time. Again, it's just a hosting issue, joining a match with a good host runs perfectly smooth.

     

    BTW the fps drops are probably somewhere around 20 fps, so still playable but noticable and annoying :(

  14. Hi all,

     

    I'm having some trouble when hosting a multiplayer game with larger amounts of enemies. On defense or mobile defense maps, I get huge drops in fps as soon as the enemy waves start to spawn. Not only do I get terrible performance, but my buddys playing in the same game report lagging enemies and delayed hit registration as soon as my fps drops start. My whole PC seems to be on load, since even on teamspeak my voice is lagging on my buddys side.

     

    If I just join in a match, my fps are fine even on big maps and lots of enemies.

     

    I have a 16Mbit connection with 1 Mbit upstream, Could this be the bottle neck? I've never played a game before where my upstream wouldn't suffice. Also I can't quite understand why my fps drop if it would just be a network issue.

     

    My hardware: Geforce GTX 670, i5 3570k, 8GB RAM.

  15. In my experience lag is not necessarily caused by the hosts slow upload speed. My buddys and I play a lot of private games, we all host some games once in a while and we all get lag with the upload speed of everyone being at least 1 Mbit. However it starts lagging as soon as the hosts game starts to stutter. If there is any kind of FPS lag on the host pc, the lag starts.

     

    If it really is a bandwidth issue though, the game needs some fundamental netcode fixing...

  16. They should just add a limit to the amount of screen shaking. I remember killing Lech Kril once, he was somehow swinging his hammer twice in a row and a teammate was bashing him with his scindo too. I aimed down at him with my latron and my camera literally just went crazy, from the ceiling all the way to the floor, I had no idea where I was aiming. If they'd set the limit to lets say 5 or 10% (or °) offset, I'd be fine with that.
