Please see: https://forums.station.sony.com/ps2/index.php?threads/soe-services-downtime-05-08-2014.185889/ Attention players: we will be performing maintenance to upgrade our network infrastructure beginning at 1:30 AM PDT* (10:30 AM CET) on Thursday, May 8, 2014. . This will impact the following SOE services: All SOE games All official forums Account management Commerce functions, including purchases Thank you for your patience! Sounds like we are getting new hamsters (and maybe improved hardware/servers...!)
It's about time too, maybe now AV turrets will render better and bigger battles will be more enjoyable. I'll be optimistic and say that this upgrade will be a good thing. If we're really lucky maybe the crazy legs bug will come back.
Don't hold your breath, unless their current infrastructure is absolutely terrible most of the "improvements" you'll see will probably be due to the placebo effect.
Well, since the "upgrade"...oddly enough I somehow lost all my UI settings and general settings...and it "feels" like I'm moving in "slow motion"...while the Enemy seems to have somehow "sped up" with their movement speeds...I mean, I REALLY noticed it...on my TR Engineer, its like I'm moving against a strong wind or something that's pushing me backwards...while the Enemy has that same "wind effect"...but its pushing THEM forward faster... Its all extremely unusual...but when I see a VS HA glowing with their "Over-shield" up...and moving faster then I can track them with a mouse in hip fire with a Lynx...after over 1,300 hours of game play, you just seem to notice this stuff...
