It is as if tasks are queued and then suddenly released (then back to lag again). After several actions are queued, I tried going to a friend's island and applied buffs. It worked for a time and then lag occurred, followed by a boot out (refresh message appears / click button / back out to Login page).
At times, technology fails. This I accept. However, when failure occurs, I expect some form of timely notification. The message need not be detailed. A simple acknowledgement and confirmation that action is being taken will suffice. I doubt that this is a hardship, nor should it take considerable time to accomplish.
Such notifications are a standard followed by top I.T. shops in the world. One would think that Ubisoft, an international company with "1.061 billion euros" in sales 2011-20122, declared as the "2nd largest in-house development staff in the world with 26 studios in 18 countries" and a staff of "More than 6,900 team members worldwide including 5,800 dedicated to production" could spare a resource to send a notification.
To the Co-founder & CEO of Ubisoft Yves Guillemot,
Sir, thank you for this wonderful game. It is quite entertaining and allows me to gain friends. I am sure that you are aware that in the United States of America, our constitution guarantees the pursuit of happiness. This game provides me the chance to do so.
I hope it is not a terrible inconvenience for you, but could you please wake up one of these dedicated team members. They appear to have fallen asleep.
Thank You for your time,
