A Healer's view of dungeon latency::

[Lyrinn]

I don't have issues with skills going off but the teleporting drives me insane.

Tank is just standing here, I wonder why he's not pulling. *Teleports halfway across the map with all mobs aggro'd* Oh no. *Sprint to tank* Glad I made it in time. *Tank teleports around a corner or something* No line of sight. *Run up to tank* Out of range. /fliptable

I wonder if they're waiting till the "rush" of the new content wears off instead of actually making attempts to alleviate the lag? That would really suck because then I'll start to wonder if every new patch will suffer the same issue at the start.

Yea, that would be the most stupid thing they can do, it's putting across a bad message to players if they can't sort this out, wait and see is not a good option, unless they want to lose a lot of subs.

You expect this kind of thing at launch or beta but not 6 months after, just add some more servers SE.

With your end or the path you take to get to the servers. Not absolutely with the game itself. Anecdote; I have friends in Hawaii that only have issue with Titan Ex/HM. It's almost always your connection or your setup.

However, if the game moved away from server side checks, everything would be smoother. Like most modern MMOs

Uh, yeah, it is the game itself. They even said that they know about it and are working on it. So it looks like your friend in Hawaii is the exception, not everybody else.

I had no trouble healing with the lag. Why is the tank taking so much damage so quickly anyway, the only way the tanks' health spikes is if you get a lag spike, why are you queueing with lag spikes? A small delay lag is nothing.

There is a boss who's always there,
watching, waiting, brazen, bare.

He stalks through servers, one and all.
But never breaks the golden rule:

Of all the players that he curses,
And cures and cooldowns he reverses,

However far he spreads his rot,
He always makes sure one is not.

Before the patch the lag was contained within Arum Vale pretty much, but since they updated the servers it has spread everywhere.

I'm expecting an extended maintenance sometime this week.

It also seems to get a lot worse around US prime time which says it all really, they should just spend the money and give EU players their own datacentre.

STOP BEING SO TIGHT SE !!!

wont help, the problem is the equipment is subpar for the latancy they chose for patch 2.2 on instances, they need to replace the subpar parts to fix this issue. a new datacentre will just have the same problems if they use crappy mainframes

How is it that I still haven't seen any of this lag? We did Turn 6 last night and I didn't notice any at all.

[Zaiken]

It's the same with Tank too, the skill Combo never show up even hitting it multiple time. By the time it work, mob is chasing someone else.

I would like to say its cause coil has its own servers but I'm not sure of that since many of my friends are experiencing this lag in almost all instances
it could be you are getting lucky and getting into instances on fresh servers. no idea

my theory on how the DF servers work is they have so many instances on each server so for instance
say a DF server can do up to 100 instances. that server qill queue up till its full then tell the game to start on another till its full
ofcourse this could be wrong. but unless SE tells us the details its all we have to work with are theories

[Sadana]

Yep. LC as SCH last night. Mash the buttons for aoe heals and just hope people are actually nearby. Usually though, it's healhealheal -rubberband catches up - everyone dead already.

So merge this with players tendency to rush ahead and grab everything without buffs. >_<

Because it comes and goes. Because there isn't just one big server with all the instances on, but lots of different servers with varying levels of load, and not all may experiencing problems at the same time. It's an RNG drop for instances. Just because some people haven't yet seen at Atma in hours of grinding, doesn't mean Atma doesn't exist.

But mostly as I mentioned above, it's because the Spiked Demon of Lag is cruel and enjoys seeding distrust and causing friction between players and so will always make sure that some people are spared.
