Lag in Instances + Endless "loading" screens when transitioning to a new area

[Vahnn]

Lag here also on Balmung.
Vahn Athsea and Aurora Athsea. PS3 and PC.
No noticeable ping spikes during lag sessions.
I was running Stone Vigil about 8:00 CSTpm
Hit skills multiple times and they half way activated then canceled themselves(on drg). I had to hit the skills several times to get them to activate.

Never had any lag issues before.

I have to admit, most of the players In Mateus, US server have complained to me about this issue today. Also I experienced firsthand when I attempted to tank my First Roulette. This is being currently addressed on EU servers, but it needs to be fixed on US as well. From what I gather it seems to be a game-wide problem since 2.2 patch, but more specifically since they did the Emergency Maintenance last night. Lag is just unbearable to do any dungeons.

I feel like I'm healing naked.

It's different than the lag we used to get in the congested AK or WP dungeons when everyone was farming it for quick Myth tokens in that I can actually see my character casting, the animation fires, but that happy little healing number doesn't show up. Not the insane rubber banding and people not moving on my screen, if that makes sense.

4 Cure I's and then it fires. This happens for about 25 seconds and then the tank dies. We couldn't clear the trash in Haukke Hard Mode because of it. Sometimes I get the little red "disconnecting" circle next to my head, but usually not at all. The monk was complaining that his stances weren't changing appropriately.

I thought it may have been the dungeon, so I did a Low Level Duty Finder. Titan Regular-Mode was completely unplayable.

I don't think it's my end, Wildstar Beta is playing very smoothly and I haven't had any issues. I've been monitoring my ping and signal and all is normal. Judging by the in game conversation, they're aware; I just hope they fix it before the weekend is over.

I'm in the USA (Texas), and play with a buddy from Canada, and we're both having extreme lag / skill interruptions. People warping all over the place, but the real annoyance are the constant "INTERRUPTED" on skills accompanied by "Cannot execute at this time" messages.

Took all of these screenshots today as evidence:

This needs to be fixed - ASAP. Lots of people I grouped with today were complaining about this issue, mostly casters with long spell cast times (like myself), but it probably effects everyone to a degree. I had some people in my FC just give up doing dungeons today because the lag/skill interruptions are so bad.

I watched Transpose take 6+ seconds to switch from Astral Fire to Umbral Ice (several times) after casting, while sitting there being completely useless with little to no mana. I've had the same skill get interrupted SIX times in a row.

Unacceptable.

FYI, me and my friend are on the Leviathan server.

I also found this thread on GameFAQs mentioning the same issue: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/67805...eborn/68898091

That thread looks familiar.

yeah Balmung & the duty finder server for it are lagging hard clocked 15 seconds!!!

Fix it please.

I agree with the OP, before 2.2 AV was unplayable but everything else I did was fine, since 2.2 pretty much all instances/guildhests are lag-fests.

Whatever SE fixed is now well broken.

can't get through my combos, healers can't get their casts off, happened to me in both pharos sirius and copperbell hard, couldn't get past first boss in both cases. people disappearing and reappearing moments later. forget about hallowed ground, normally to be jammed when in trouble, can't ever get it off.

Also experiencing lag on Hyperion. Just ran Haukke Manor (HM) around 8 PM EST and my party members were also having similar issues. Having to button-mash to get abilities to fire off and interacting with items (for example Tiny Key and Locked Door) takes a lot longer. Been monitoring my network traffic and I'm also not getting any ping spikes, nor have I had any of these issues before the update.

Lag is so bad right now I can't even get the launcher to bring up login area without getting a timed out error. Lag started to get worse as the night wore on. First indication of lag came when attacks weren't resetting as fast as they should have (minor problem, but tolerable). Second was when hitting an action multiple times just to get it to activate along with an issue where doing Diabolos in The lost city will cause Doors to not work properly. When I say not work properly, i mean that during the transition from one door to the other you become bugged and stuck at the exit door without showing up (remain invisible). The only way my pt could fix this was to logout then back in which usually resulted in a wipe (had to do this 3 times before the fight didn't bug). Then the final one is where I can't even get the logon screen to come up in the launcher, it just times out again and again or it gets stuck at trying to check if the launcher is even up to date.
