I got to try my hand at an invasion over the weekend and - for the most part - was genuinely impressed. I never played TT, so this was my first experience.
That having been said, the lag made it completely impossible to enjoy.
Lag kicked in immediately, and locked up solid. I heard three of the announcements from JR, and saw two of the message bars indicating that waves were attacking different barricades. I freed up for a bit, and got in on a little action, but as soon as JR voice over for his assault come on I froze up again for the duration. I did see him walk directly over my pirate at one point, but wasn't able to move.
Obviously, a quiet server will be a benefit - but, any suggestions on overcoming what appears to be lag caused by the audio files?
Long term I think that the plan is still a sound starting point. I was able to attune three crew members before the lag hit and managed to keep them out of jail using the healing hex's. Was able to do some damage using cutlass and also pistol once the lag abated.
I'm hoping to be able to crew up with a big group on a quiet server - ideally partnering with a guild that will have multiple crews: which would allow comm thru the crew, and guild chat windows to streamline coordination. If a guild is organizing such an event I would be happy to lend a blade.
