No lag problems for me here, on US east coast. Decent faction, decent glad points, lots of shit talking, just your average typical RA weekend. Even almost got 15 wins until we got wiki'd down in TA

I got an err=007, but that was because I got banned for inapropriate language. My mouth went on autopilot... I couldn't stand all the noobs.

A few party members haven't showed up for me, but I haven't gotten any lag at all.

Though I suppose the faction could be nice.

Disconnected a few times, not too much lag for the most part though. And I've seen some very...questionable builds. Of course, I tried to get into FA and it took well over 20 minutes.

I'm confused. Isn't there a language filter people can use?

Well, my connection is great, there is no sign of any lag. HOORAY what a surprise.

but this weekend brings out the bad side of players.
1) players are still syncing.
2) report system just made it so they cannot leave the team, once the first match is over, no matter if you win, they still leave.
3) Sych is UNFAIR to other players.
4) If you want a well coordinated team. PLEASE go to Team Arena. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

now, where is the bad and unfairness in all the above?

You have a well planned team. You use it against a RANDOM TEAM, and the chances of players like myself who don't sync just become, what 100% more difficult then it already is?

(believe me, I have loads of friends to sync with, I just told them off :P~)

I'd imagine Syncing is a bit more tricky in a weekend like this, and it's really not as bad as it used to be with the Dishonorable system.

Probably, if they took all the time they put into Syncing and failing and it into just playing with the teams they have, they'd get more points and Faction.

Spending most of the time on the floor. Suportive spirit is little comfort.

I suck at PvP currently running the Assassin Spike build, and i have gotten 4 keys today, even after I went and completed Slavers full run none Ursan for the first time.

Not really, syncing is still quite easy.

Again, not really. A good sync team can easily get 10+ wins, and win in TA. Most random teams struggle getting a monk, let alone 5 wins.

So you expect people to play Random Arenas with random teams? Pfft well you're just a big jerk it sounds like.
