Lag on the Duty Servers

Has anyone else been experiencing a lot of lag when in dungeons the last two or three days? I have two characters, each on a different server, and while I can run through the most populated towns and fields without any lag, the second I enter a dungeon or Guildhest I encounter ridiculous lag spikes.

Normally I'd chalk this up to my using wi-fi or someone using the computer, but since it only happens when in a Duty I can only assume the issue's on SE's side of things.

Not last two days but i sometimes get it randomly.

Sometimes we have to reenter in a new DF until everyone is ok. Do this for Titan sometimes...

I haven't noticed duty lag, but 90k disconnects seem even worse after yesterday's hotfix.

Trying to do Aurum Vale for Rank and have encountered a great deal of lag. It comes and goes as you enter new areas or where there is a lot of movement needed (coincounter very bad).

Yes AV seems incredibly buggy. Skips me out of my combo rotations, everyone constantly clips, you get hit by aoe thats in front of the target even though your behind them.. the whole time.. ect

Yep. Also on two servers on different data centers.

Aurum Vale's lag is a nightmare. My last run we dropped at Coincounter twice and Miser's Mistress three times because the dungeon was lagging so badly that the cast bars, zone telegraphs (for Miser's Mistress), and adds were delayed in being displayed by a second or two.

Qarn suffered from it a month or so ago too (I'd run it successfully a ton of times and then one run about three weeks ago, we couldn't even clear the golem boss because the lag was so awful.) But it seems to have been fixed.

Aurum Vale is messed up since the recent update for me. After waiting about 35 minutes for que last night on bard my party tried the first boss 3 times and every time at least 2-3 of us would get a huge lag spike when we tried to eat the fruit. You literally could not move, use abilities, nothing, and after it ended and when you could move again it still didn't eat the fruit.

I've also had terrible lag in Aurum Vale.. Coincounter did 100 ton swing and hit me when he was standing in the middle of the room and I ran all the way to the wall haha....

Also my combos seemed to not light up the next ability as I was doing them in order. Some mobs I could not melee even though it was right in front of me and I'm not even talking about attacking a moving mob lag that people usually experiance, the mob was literally standing in front of me not moving but still couldnt hit it.

Seems like its AK all over again, only with people grinding xp instead of tomes.

Not: im basing this off of posts here, I have not run AV in a long time, but know that recently its become a thing to just grind the first room over and over.

On topic: I've been running AV for the last 2 months with different character and I don't think the lag issue is very new =/ it does however seem more common than pre-hotifx.

There is a creative use of in game mechanics that players have been using to express level from 47 to 50 in AV. This may be the cause of everybody having terrible server side lag, especially in the first room area / first boss.

Note: I am not describing how its done because I don't want to make the situation worse. If SE wants to know more about this, please contact me directly via the normal customer service route. If anybody knows about this already, please do not put it in this thread.

My account as a WHM is I have lost tanks after not getting heals for over 30 seconds. I am chain casting my heals and nothing is landing. At the zone in, the lag is less than 1 second. In the first room / first boss, the lag is up to 8 full seconds. Past that it becomes less and on the final boss the lag is back down to less than 1 second.

Hopefully SE is aware of this and will come up with a solution that will make things better for everybody.

A bit yes:p

Only Aurem Vale for me. Other than that everything is fine. Getting nice little 2 second lags in that good ol' AV. Making it rough to spam for exp atm.
