Lag in Eureka!!!

Is anyone else getting a really bad delay in Eureka when around big groups of players? Has this been addressed before?
I am level 10 and I keep losing EXP because raises are taking much longer time to load...
Everything is delayed, my attacks are not registering on time and its very frustrating!!!

Can SQE have less players per instance to minimize this TREMENDOUS lag?!

I do not get any lag on my Excalibur character. However, since 4.25 I get horrid amounts of lag on my Omega character and experience this same problem with being ressed. The lag is even affecting other instances such as dungeons.

I can confirm some lag going on on Omega, maybe on whole EU datacenter.

@OP, are you new to MMO's? Lag is not really uncommon. I haven't really seen much complains about Eureka lag so can be a 'one time' thing. Wait it out?

I have had lags since the start of Eureka and specifically when there are too many players around (like NM fates for example). It's not 'lag' in the traditional sense but more like DELAYED everything, my actions are taking time to register but my FPS are just fine.

I have not had delays in dungeons, only in Eureka (only around big groups of players)

Eureka is really bad for it because so many people are together in the train that the servers struggle with it. It doesn't affect me personally because I'm blessed with very high quality Internet and seem to have a really stable route to the server, but my best friend has issues in there. You see waves of people disconnect fairly frequently. One day he absurdly had to VPN in through Mexico to make it playable at all, which was downright odd.

There isn't a ton you can do about it unfortunately, unless you have other unnecessary stuff on your network. A wired connection may help if your wireless is saturated, too.

They should implement something that can split around fate trains in the instance, too many people at one place is creating a LAG!!!!!!!!

The lag is breaking Eureka for me. For the last week, every time I go in there it's unplayable. Half the time I can't get level sync to go off to so much as tag the NM.

During Paz tonight, I died and got raised like 20 times but waited almost 10 minutes for the animation to happen while raise sounds went off. People were saying in shout that he was dead, but I was still watching a rubber band fight with 27% health... waiting for the raise I accepted to happen. When it finally did, the area was suddenly clear and the train was off somewhere else lol.

It wasn't so bad at first, but this week has been awful. There are less people in Eureka now, so it doesn't really make sense that it's happening more now than when it was booming.

I get rubberbanding in Eureka often enough that I don't feel quite so safe playing my main job in there, which is MNK. It gets pretty bad when for anywhere from 10 seconds to a whole minute, you're not sure if you're standing in bad or not, or what you're actually casting.

happens to me occasionally, I use the battle effects macros to help reduce the delays (I hope) but it would persist until after there are less things happening on screen. I'd usually just find another instance when it won't stop. my ISP isn't a good company either (unstable net speed) so that's probably a factor

I dunno about you guys but The aether servers have been getting DDOSed in the afternoon/night hours of the day. They’ll probably last like a week or so like always and then disappear for another 4-8 months.

I've only just started going into Eureka and am a lowly level 7 with terrible lag. The NM fights are exactly how the odin fight used to be. I don't actually see anything, I try to run around casting aoes in the hopes I tag it. I can't avoid the NM aoes as they don't appear until after I'm already dead :p I'd just thank all the kind raising fairies and the people who don't mind ferrying me around :)

Kind of why they close of instances. Depending on your device you may need to lower the graphics and hopefully your playing on a 64 bit operating system if PC. For PlayStation I refuse t o play Eureka. Too choppy. It's extremely rare that I get Lag on PC... well for my server anyways.

Only thing I've seen that has not happened to me personally is during Pazuzu, when dead people can't raise even though they have a raise cast on them. Their character gets bugged and unable to raise even with people casting it on them again and they have to relog or click off buffs to actually raise.

Sounds more like a bug to me though.

I am having the same FATE sync problem, sometimes sync will not register, so it is all a bet if we can get exp or not.

They should reduce the cap on the instance. 96 people would create significantly less lag because adding more people close together creates an exponential load increase on the server. A redesign to the way the whole place works to break the train is far harder* than just changing the instance population cap.

*Also a bad idea. The train is about the only thing that makes Eureka tolerable.

Nothing's really changed, because each instance is 144 people max. If there's half as many people doing Eureka, they have half as many instances and each one is still full.

It was pretty bad last night. Was in a group that was doing Paz and it started becoming a slideshow. I got 90k'ed and logged back in just in time for the group to finish Paz to get my reward... or so I thought. Teleported back to base when some of my team were saying they were still fighting Paz and he was down to 10% HP. Turns out half the instance finished the exact same NM about 5 minute before the second half of the instance... dunno how that happens but wow that was bad.
