Just posting observations so you guys have it in one place. It seemed a little bit laggy until we started loading into Anchorhead. Once there response to commands started immediately being measured in tens of seconds then minutes.
I had 2 toons grouped and my swordsman didn't know he was dead, it was my rifleman that saw the swordsman's stats drop and the death screen. By then response times in chat were 5min14sec minimum. I tried cloning on the swordsman - he saw a loading screen around 7 minutes later. Then after another 7 minutes he appeared dead on the ground again instead of inside the cloning terminal. By then the rifleman had KraytKing appear on his head and insta-died. At this point I gave up.
