What Did They Break On Sunday?

I played from Beta 1 and have never had any form of lag until after the Sunday maintenance. I'm getting 4-5 seconds hiccups now. It's preventing me from doing my job correctly in AK, HM Primals, etc...

Yeah, instance lag is pretty serious right now. Was trying to do Titan and everyone was having serious issues with hiccups lasting multiple seconds. They definitely broke something.

The weird thing is that a few of my friends were telling me about how they had this "lag" for the past couple weeks, yet I was fine. Now that I have the lag issue, their lag is gone. What is going on?

I just experienced this issue.. Except it's now occurring outside of instances as well.. Makes the game totally unplayable... grrr

I just did Praetorium and had this issue. Now I'm starting to experience outside of dungeons. :(

Noticed it tonight in Dzemael Darkhold. In fact, lag was so bad everything stood still during last boss fight...then noticed red circle...then stood still...then...yes you guessed it...healer was rezzing me. We still managed to down him through it all though.

I was in Amdapor Keep and I knew the Demon Wall was about to use Repel in just a few seconds and suddenly I just see everybody running in place. This time the hiccup lasted approximately 10 seconds. By the time the hiccup was done, I found myself down in the pit below Demon Wall.

I was out of town on Sunday so didn't realize they had any form of maintenance. I had been noticing massively increased lag though. I thought it was just me.

You'll see people in your party occasionally display the disconnect sign next to their name as well then recover a few seconds later. More often than not in the 30 or so CM runs I've done since have had latency issues where data receive will hit zero and you won't be getting any server updates then everything will fast forward to catch up again after it recovers.

Lots of people in my CM runs have been complaining about this as well so it's not just an isolated issue.

On Hyperion as well and I've run into a couple instances of some horrible, horrible lag during an instance group. Nice to know it's not just me having this problem.

Ditto for me. While I've been mostly farming and crafting I have macros for some of the easier things I craft and they are getting messed up by lag all of a sudden just this week. I have been running the game since beta3 and this week is the frist time I've had this much lagging.
