Hey all, What's your turn around time between games? For me I feel I stare at the Victory screen and XP screen for a maddeningly long time ~20-30 seconds each).
While in the game, everything is great (or will be once the NOOS errors are squashed), but outside the game every menu feels frustratingly laggy and slow. So much so that I'm finding the "juice not worth the squeeze".
Anyone else experiencing this? It has been consistently slow in a variety if wifi locations.

Average 6-7 mins for me with the "rush deck" 2 mins connect + 3 mins game + 1 mins victory screen. So half of the time are not spent on playing the game actually. No to mentioned NOOS, lag, ... etc.

Mines been similarly slow for games, and the market has been very frustrating lately too. And also when the game makes me log into Uplay again everytime I tab out. In fact the only time I don't have horrible lag is when I go into to story mode to try out a new deck. It makes me wonder if all the online game components are running off one server that can't handle the new software from the patch.

The wait time is so irritating. I've started to do something else why I wait. Sometimes that something else takes over. I don't even earn my 500 credits that often anymore.
The competitive section is a joke. It counts every cancelled attempt, NOOS, stopped match etc. since that is not reliable as a measure of skill, I would rather they go back to the old form and build something that works as competitive later. Now it is more a rank of best connection or luck (who gets less NOOS or cancels). that is not worth 2-3 minutes of waiting.

Haven't even earned 500 total this week due to menu lag. Still put up with the market every couple of days.

Literally every other game gets a disconnection error when connecting to my opponent. So I play one, get an error the next, play one again, etc.
So what I do now is play one, cancel the next match, play another, cancel again, etc...
An then ofcourse there are the NOOS errors...

I've reduced my playing (or should I say: waiting) time radically the past few days. It really isn't much fun waiting for games that end with NOOS errors more often than not. Oh, but here's a pro tip if you want to get connected to an opponent fast: Just try doing something else like reading a book or answering emails. Just when you have started concentrating on this new task and have forgotten about your open game request, you'll get connected and thus distracted from the task you just managed to focus on. Trust me. It works.

You know what the worst part is?... It's when you wait a reeaaallllllyyyyy long time to get a match, and then your opponent knows how to do that sure-win thing where you immediately see "Defeated" on your screen after you get auto-matched!
I got three of those yesterday and it was irritating (I don't know how they do it but I saw the thread about it with the steps deleted - I hope they fix that with the next update).

I experience the same, and thus play less and less, being more and more connected to the other activities I do while waiting for it to work. I sometimes even find myself playing history mode to get sure to have a match .... A shame for the game's really really good. I quit any idea of being in the hall of fame, for I lack patience (sigh)

I've never played ACR without being doing something else... Whether it's watching TV shows (Mad Men currently), doing some work, drawing... Etc. Yeah the current state of network does suck but mostly it's business as usual for me

I have the same experiences and the one that really gets me is when the searching for opponent screen just cancels itself. I get excited because I finally got a game, but no. It's like the game saying, "haha, fooled you".
Ubisoft really needs to do something fast they are losing their player base. Between this and the major barriers to entry for new plays Im concerned about the game's long term potential.
It such a great game at its core. I hope someone is paying attention. It would be a shame to see it die.

I know how they do, because it randomly happens to me. But u can force it too (thing i have never intentionnaly done). I prefer not to give much details here for some obvious reasons, but pm me if u want more.

I totally want to know. Maybe I'll exploit it. Maybe not. But I love being in on the conspiracy.

I hardly play anymore because of connection issues and NOOS. The connection issues should have been highest priority for Ubi pre-patch (some players could only play with DMZ, probably because of port issues). Instead of fixing these issues or at least paying attention to it, the new update is even much worse.
If these issues are not fixed in the next patch, I will probably delete the app. Don't want to play beta tester for a game I actually paid for (by buing credits).
