Major lag in instanced areas

[Malzian]

Is anyone else getting severe (like "having trouble with even basic combos" severe) lag in instanced areas like dungeons? In the open world everything is crystal clear, but when I went into Antitower, as well as Stone, Sky, Sea, and even in my inn room, it suddenly became atrocious.

The instance servers are likely being slammed right now, this isn't unusual for a patch day.

That's what I had figured, but I didn't remember this happening for 3.1 and previous patches. Oh well. A real problem for ninjas though lol

Well, remember that this patch has a lot more instanced content than usual. It's not just dungeons, raids and primals. You also need to count the Hall of Novice and Stone, Sea, Sky as instances people are digging into now. I'd say give it some time, it'll likely level out and if it doesn't then the devs will address it.
