This LAG reminds me of another launch...

[Thenell]

I am trying, actually trying , and I do mean trying to complete a full run of Tam-Tara Deepcroft, but this lag with 30 sec and constant 90k disconnects followed by 10102... I have only managed the first 2 bosses. Do I need to go on?

Years way back when WoW was launched there was trouble... some nights you couldn't even get into your server to play because of queues. We had massive lag and about 10k other bugs, BUT, Blizzard actually talked to us, the community. That kept me from moving on...

SE however... If they don't start to talk with us then I will give my money to another company more deserving of them.

That they should talk with us, the community, is not to much to ask for is it?

[mayonnegg]

It's not, I agree. And it's actually the most frustrating thing. I can put up with issues if I know they're being addressed, but no response is just annoying.

I would sub for 3 more months if they would at least make a public announcement of some sort. as it is, I am out of here. I might check back in a year or so and see if this has all been sorted out.

[Jotunhammer]

You know why they wont talk to us? cause they all speak japanese, they are all in the japanese forums, so far there has not been a single NA/EU forum moderator thats opened their mouth. cause we don't matter to them, only the japanese matters to them.

[mayonnegg]

They're not dealing with this well, but I doubt that's true.

Ok SE, whatever you are screwing around with right now on the servers... stop it.

Monster Lag spikes on Excalibur. Sheesh.

[Faelart]

Excalibur here too, and its horrible lag, tracert and ping show packet loss and high latency IN their datacenter. Its fine, slows down a bit in montreal and toronto but once its in their datacenter it goes to poop

[ShadowVerse]

Having issues here since Tuesday morning. Lag spikes and multiple log outs due to connection issues. No other game that I have is doing this and everything is running fine otherwise.
Hopefully it'll be resolved in tonight's maintenance.

The lag has been going on since release for me, usually during the evening hours in central europe, i.e 19.00 to 22.00 pretty much, sometimes it starts a bit earlier or lasts a bit longer and on bad days both. It's the only MMO I've had lag issues in, counting back since the days of DaoC and my 512Kb back then up to now with a 24Mb line I've never had a real issue. It got a wee bonkers in WoW at times, but even then it wasnt this serious. I played from sweden on US servers back then and have done so in most MMOs up to date. GW2 and WaR being 2 exceptions.

And as I've said in other threads about this, it's just not acceptable to let this slide without communication, since we are infact paying customers. There are F2P and B2P MMOs out there with better CSR capabilities aswell as much more stable servers, catering to their whole player base and not just the native ones. It feels like SE is shutting their non JP playerbase out, leaving us in the dark. What Yoshi said in the letter regarding latency issues is not an acceptable answer. We pay a minimum of 11 Euro a month so they can keep the servers stable, add new content, fix bugs etc. so we can play and enjoy the game without worrying everyday about lag.

I work for our local cable company and have been looking into these lag spikes, and I don't think it's the servers causing the problem.

There may be an issue with their backbone provider (GTT). I have contacted them along with one of our circuit providers to find out why there are errors between the two points. Depending on your geographic location and router conditions, some might not experience any problems while others would.

I connect to Hyperion, and route up from Virginia up thru a Quest-CenturyLink circuit. That circuit was clean until it hands off to one of the GTT routers in Montreal (xe-4-2-0.mtl10.ip4.tinet.net [141.136.107.125]). This hop had 10% loss over 45 minutes while the Quest hop before it had none during the same time frame. The problem cleared up about an hour after speaking with GTT, so I couldn't get much done with our rep from Qwest.

I'll keep digging...
