Look well done, seriously. That most recent patch, a night ago or whatever it is really has kicked ass. Played in three seperate 4v4's last night and i kept fanboying it up in ALL chat saying how i couldnt believe how smooth it was. To date, 3v3's have been the only way for us(in australia at least) to get smooth games - ie no animation jerkiness which comes from latency/lag.
The first 4v4 was smooth as silk and i was thoroughly impressed. The second not as good but still better and the third likewise smooth as hell which ended up being an epic 1 hour 11 minute game where we came back from being penned in our base on exile, brimming with artifacts to knock out their citadel in a suicide mission while they attacked ours - us winning with them having our citadel on 5k of 58k health. Massive game which i feel HUNG OVER from.
But yeah key point was the smoothness - awesome job, i am stoked. I hope this translates to 5v5's also - or helps. I can handle a little jerkiness in order to have a bigger game. Have not played a single 5v5 since release due to issues, hopefully that might change.
Kudos Stardock/GPG/Brad/Kittens everywere.
