todo.aver agree this is very simple and easy to understand, how many more pay, as many servers and desconestion of the most saturated, therefore less lag.yo hé played several days after the payment and clearing yesterday that had enough lag, other days almost non-existent, or very poco.que mean? because that the more we pay more quality in the game because there will be less delay that ... or we run out juego.un greeting.

True...i didn't expect a lag free game...i did subsribe and will pay once my email is answered. However, the title says better lag... The answer from what I played last night is lag worse.

But I guess the placebo effect is better?





(I'm on an iPad,......and it seems to work for mé already!)


O boy, I better place a LOL here........

I would be willing to pay more than the $1.99 to dump the real freeloaders if that is what it takes....

Seems like that is the only reason that some are on here, it's entirely free (per what I read on WC).... maybe a squad could offer to sponsor an exceptional pilot if they can prove they can't afford to pay.... (a note from mom)

offer an intro teaser of a few free levels,(separate server) if they aren't hooked by then let 'em go....

This is too good of a game to be dragged down by the 'anything for free' crowd....

Hi Zuperman.

After subscribing and new update, I feel less lag, smooth flying and now plane tail too moves, pilot bails out is hilarious seems enjoying jumping rather shooting LOL.

Good job Zuperman, With more servers adding to existing one. Definitely lag is going to improve further.

Better lag? Who would want the lag to be better, I think it's just fine the way it is. Lol. I for one haven't noticed any difference in the amount of lag. But I do offer a suggestion..... When you enter a game, stay in it. All of the logging in and logging out can't be helping the issue! I for one am also guilt of this from time to time, for instance I don't like allied zep games. But, however I have noticed that quite a few pilots enter and leave the same game over and over again. Just a thought, maybe stay put, perhaps the game you leave will be your best one ever!

Hi zup , still getting quite a bit of lag from here in the uk and I have good wifi ( so my service provider tells me ) And on the issue of revenue I too would be willing to pay more especially if it helped you develop the game further. On a side note have you ever thought of a fee for fuel ? The more you play the more you pay , and for new players offer a couple of free tank fulls ( which would only allow you to rank up a couple of times at most ) and if they get hooked then they continue by paying for fuel if not that account can go no further . Admittedly you'd get a few people constantly creating new accounts for the freebies but for the majority its about getting that Moraf rank , regards Johnnie

Really only 40 that's really a poor effort. Given the number of people that play for many hours a week, we as a community can do better. I know some kids, students, unemployed etc won't be able to sign up, but there are an awful lot of adults here in fully time employment who can afford $1.99 a month(hell collect loose change you find in the street and you could afford it).

I bet the ones that complain the most are the ones that aren't signing up. I say pay up or shut up.

I just bought in using win 8.1. After I made the purchase, I logged out and then back in and all worked fine.

I can now see the pilot and experienced him jumping with the chute for the first time. I heard about this addition on the forum months ago. I thought the graphic had been removed.

The graphics seem sharper, new logo background, mouse click noise is different, etc. But no improvement in lag.

Freeloaders?..
Some of these guys have worked their way up the points ladder by shooting their way up. They have not been able to rely on daddy's money. Only to get there and have the door slammed. That's not right and it's not fair.
I have bought and spent about £100 already to this game which I may well loose.
But my respect is always with those who have literally fought their way up, point by point, upgrade by upgrade.
So let's drop this word 'freeloaders'
Rant over. Just my thoughts....

As for now, I am one of those "freeloaders" and until the bugs are worked out and I have the update for my iPhone, I will continue to be one. As for complaining, I don't think you've heard much from me!

Can you give some detail about where you are with servers?

Do we have the same number of servers as before? I click on different servers and end up in the same game. Makes me think that now one server is serving multiple areas.

Are these new servers? Maybe just not as many? Are they faster than before?

Are you waiting on subscription revenue to purchase more servers? How many do you ultimately plan to acquire if you get enough money?

Bump. Thought maybe this got by you. Was hoping for answers.

Hi Zuperman,

I feel lag starting from 2.00 PM GMT and go on increasing till 4.00 PM GMT on 19th December 2014. all the servers are showing three yellow bars in speed as well as capacity at 4.00 pm GMT. In game, the players disappear and reappear quite often. Plane movements too seems to be slow responsive. You can visit this time to check the server load.
before 2.00 PM GMT the servers are doing well.

I think this is the time when maximum players are playing. Mine location is in India. Just for your information and necessary action.

Thank you.

same lag started again in some games but in the bright side the games weren't so bad less lag better game it will be!

clarification; by 'freeloader' I mean those that are on here just because it is a free game and there is a free World Chat to reach out on....

No disrespect for those who actually enjoy the game and the group and try to make a positive contribution with their presence....

Should be a way to sponsor pilots who truly CANNOT do the monthly fee vs those who just WILL NOT contribute to anything.... I'm disabled on a meager fixed income and I'll find a way to go out and collect pop cans to recycle if that is what it takes to get the $1.99.... I'll even stand on the corner with a cardboard sign that says "WHY LIE, NEED DOGFIGHT, PLEASE HELP"

As for lag.... Barely noticeable if any last couple games.... now what am I going to use as an excuse for my lousy stats????

It "feels" good but lag and the slow connection warning keep coming up.

McFate where are you located? Which country?

Well, with the new system, if a person leaves the game they have to wait several minutes to come back. So I think we will see less of this. (of course, if they are subscribers they don't have to wait

Well... last stats from the servers:

android 46% (this also includes amazon)
ios 29% (ipad, iPhone and ipod)
windows 8 11%
windows phone 12%

so about 30% of players are missing the update...

Zuperman,
Can u let us know the count of subscribed users now.

I still get red warning saying connection slow.Three servers show up green but its still laggy.It seems that the players saying its lag free are PC users(I think)
I live in the UK.Other online games I play give me great ping times to European servers.
Below game I get 18ms which is darn good.I have had some real delayed kills lately like 5 seconds later.My connection is fine.

hey Zup and all,

a quick question.....

If the servers are all around the globe, does it make sense to log onto the one closest to you for the least possible lag??


If I'm on west coast USA and log onto Vimy and some one from across the world logs onto Vimy in the same game, aren't they going to lag a bit?? likewise if I log into a server labeled europe or asia, won't I be the lagging one compared to a 'local'?? or is it too small a time to matter??

So I just experienced the worst case of lag I've ever know. As a legit none subscriber, is this what it will be like Zup? Even waiting the six minutes it says, and if I subscribe, will that never happen again, or not very often? Cos after subscribing, and I get rubbish like that again, I know I have been ripped off Zup..

I said before and I say it again: LAG CANNOT BE SOLVED. It's like saying that you won't ever ever ever ever ever in your life experience a traffic jam because you pay $2 a month. The more servers we have, the more 'lines' we can add to the highway to help solve the jam, but that's about it.

So if you feel like asking for $2 is a rip off, don't pay but then don't complain about lag. I'm sorry to have bothered you with such a horrible connection. As you know, i'm responsible for all traffic going on at the internet at any given time worldwide. Saw matrix? Neo was an aspirant next to my powers.

Okay. You got me there. I'm subscribing. Thanks Zup...

Yes, you have to log into the server nearest to you for faster connection. The problem is that if someone from Saudi Arabia logs into that server (horrible speed for US), then he lags a lot and you think you are lagging too. Lag is the connection between all the players. That's why it's impossible to solve completely.

That player should connect to the server that's fastest to him and you should connect to the one that it's fastest to you. But right now people randomly connect and sometimes you get that weird super fast personal connection but an enemy that is jumping all over.

What I will probably have to do is eliminate all server choices, no more artois, messiness and so on. And then let the system pick the fastest server for you automatically so you can't pick one that is hyper slow for your connection and slow every other player.

the game still algs alot1

I woz just asked for my Amazon password!!! I don't think so..How about NO!!
I'm getting a little bit suspicious of all this..

I just posted about this here in detail:
