Revive tool becomes useless when server is busy!

Miller on Saturday night
Server was packed, we (NC) were at VS warpgate, and the revive tool starts taking forever to get players to 100%. The icon reads full health but as soon as I stop healing the recipient's health bar goes back down and they start shouting for a medic. Sometimes it would take 10 seconds or more (all but top level certed) and often I would get XP quite a time after I'd finished healing. Actually reviving players aws really hit and miss too.
I understand that the game has serious issues under load, and the enemy draw distance got embarrassingly low, and the lag was apparent, but it's very annoying when, as a medic, I'm unable to, you know, be a medic.

Welcome to the SOE version of "Size always matters"

On a serious note, Repair tools behave exactly the same way on Miller last few days due to sheer number of people fighting.

We're even getting bucket loads of BR5-15 so more new people keep joining. I'd say you won't really get a fix for this unless you are somewhere quiter than at my friggin WG boxing us in !!

In essence, I am glad its not working you rebel scum

Miller is extremely laggy. I'm European and I have worse lag (insta-deaths, hits not registering for few seconds, a lot of kill-trades) on Miller than I have on Waterson and Mattherson (US East).

Of one hour I play on Miller there are more bullshit moments than a day on Mattherson. Even at early hours, like 2 in the afternoon. It only gets worse later.

Yeah game has become pretty unresponsive. I don't know if they added a delay to cloak or if it's lag but since gu2 you have to wait half a second or so
till you can recloak. Before I could uncloak, fire dart and immediattly recloak. Cloak energy also goes crazy lots of time. It's already fully charged after uncloaking to using half a bar when recloaking. The same happens to light assault.

Other tools like repair gun also lagging behind. The circle and the blue lighting showing already full health while vehicle still shows missing health.
