Server Lag Since Reset?

[DenzelTaru]

Has anyone else had server lag since monday?
It started happening around reset which, i thought might have been due to everyone bum rushing coil.. but its Thursday now and I am still getting it making the game virtually impossible to play.
The kind of lag where boss's will stand still for 10 seconds then you get 5 mechanics at once or youve lost hate completely.. and in Vassago in CT i cannot chain anything together at all, no skills hit and no dots appear around the next skill..

and you can imagine with our, oh so supportive, player base how badly people react even though i have said beforehand "i don't always but may experience problems"

So has anyone else been having trouble? i heard tell that it was a Chaos data centre issue..

I have a slow connection i know that but usually this just causes latency in fights and slow positional updates nothing on this scale and never 10 second skips or no skill chaining >.<

Yes, the lag is worse since last night's patch. Ever since 2.1 I've been getting 1-2 seconds game freeze repeatedly. This only happens when the server has high traffic however. Now since last night the game freezes for 3-5 seconds repeatedly.

while it's nice you're linking a thread that already has posts, more threads that are opened up, the more attention it will bring. Whether good or bad attention is up to the community, but I'm hoping for some type of response with all these threads opening up.

There are a lot of people that have been having the same problem as you since Monday. You're not alone, but SE still haven't got back to us, so I suggest;

1. Send a bug report into SE in-game.
2. Make a ticket in-game.
3. Post in these topics and bring more attention to this matter; here, here and here.
4. Like posts and show they're not the only ones having this problem.

This is undeniably a problem with SE and needs addressing as the game is unplayable in these conditions.

Post a tracert of your connection to the server. This will tell us if it's at your end, SEs or in between.

Game performs better than pre 2.0 but I was expecting that the maintenance for these servers would be something like washing your car, changing oil, etc. Not getting it to the workshop to replace nuts and bolts that just...sproinked out of the car while you're driving it. Sure feels like it.

No, no change for better or worse for me. Probably Level 3 Communications still hasn't gotten their act together.
