I've been getting terrible lag today on East 2 as well. Something is up with the server I suspect, I never had problems like this before.

I just spent about 5 minutes running around watching people warp all over but being unable to actually shoot anyone, watching tanks roll by and pegging them dead on visually with rockets but never having it show that I hit, even running up to tanks and them firing right at me and me not being hurt and firing back and them not being hurt (it showed them shoot, didnt hurt me). Then suddenly I died to a MAX that I never saw while my health and shield bars were still showing full.

After that I gave up playing for now.

Same happened to me except I assaulted the Crown solo, and ended up in a fight with ten of fifteen vanu, none of them could even damage me and we were just unloading into each other. I ended up standing still for fie minutes shooting into them hoping it'd go away before just quitting as well. :\ Lot of work before it runs smoothly but hopefully it gets there soon.

Is it just an East thing? I haven't been playing on west recently, but East was fine for me before. Hopefully this improves soon.

I just assumed it was because I'm West Coast but the US West 2(?) had perfect latency while East was unplayable with the amount of rubberbanding going on.

East was running pretty well until last patch, so i dont think its distance (plus Im in the east). I've noticed lots of people rubberbanding and laghopping ( I think I just made that one up) lately though. Makes them hard to hit...

I haven't experienced any of that on West 1 or 3, even when West 1 is at pop cap. Of course perhaps it has much better hardware or internet connection.

No offence to other parts of the world but part of me feels that the East servers might be suffering from non-US players joining and lagging everything up.

I fully realize a lot of areas have no better choice and some people even with better servers would choose a more central server to play with friends in different areas... I've got no problem with that, I just feel that might be an explanation.

Personally I'll stick to West 02 because my experience with East has tended to the poor connection quality side.

East 1 is screwed up with rubberbanding wich didnt suffer before latest patch. Not a problem about my computer or network wise as they didnt change since well... a good time now.

I originally tried to go east 3, but it was comically laggy (people jumping 10 yards at a time laggy).  I tried west 3 and that seemed much better, even though my latency should theoretically be worse.

Probably no reason other than it giving them a larger B-peen.

Are they still giving out beta keys? If so, what's the average wait time? I'm dieing to play this game. And I'm one of those guys who like to give feedback :(

Access Denied

Does this even when I'm logged in (and I'm in the beta).

It seems their whole support service is down , could be they are getting hacked again? There is no official response from Sony .

They are giving them away here and there, but you have to keep your ear to the ground. Right now it seems they're handing them out to websites to give away. IGN just did a giveaway I believe, not sure if there's one going on now though.
