I am sure I am not the first to mention this or bring this up.
I am not quite sure why after 2 years, NCSoft has not been able to dedicate a completely different server for PTS realm(s).
Players on Kain are adversely affected because of this lag. We are subjected more to frequent disconnects during battle, increasing the chances that we might die and drop something.
Now, while I do not mind having my character subject to the game's mechanics inside the game, what irks me is that we are not protected as players from server issues, lag or performance issues of any kind and still subject to these game mechanics, even though we cannot do anything about them because of lag and disconnects caused by the PTS.
What are you planning on doing about this NCSoft?
Thanks in advance.
