did they address the horrendous lag in the patch?

This is killing myth runs. Could barely do Brayflox yesterday. Everything froze for like 30 seconds. I just spammed cure hoping my tank was alive >_>

Lol it feels great to be lag free 80% of the time after these recent patches.
Usually i'd be the laggiest one out of the group, but not this time! ^^
Now i can watch as ppl struggle thru dungeons and fights just like i have in the past weeks. I know it'll get fixed soon and possibly i'll be the only laggy one again, but hey lol; i should enjoy this while it lasts.

They can't patch it out because the issue is at Level 3 which is a top tier ISP that provides trunk access to regular ISPs. You think SE customer service is bad? I wouldn't want to be the SE rep on the phone with those guys. At that level of the information superhighway there is a near monopoly so they don't really give a crap.

People should give SE a break since this isn't even their fault. If it is not on SE's end, then there isn't much they could do about it. I've play several months in a row without experiencing much lag except rarely for some slight lag. Overall, SE servers have been great so far.

My static beat t7 yesterday after only a total of about 5 hours of trying dating back to last week. No one experienced any lag but we did have one member 90k'd before raid started and one healer dc'd for about 3 minutes during our kill run.

Wether it is SEs fault or not the game is completely unplayable at the present time. They need to address this with their paying customers. Would be a good opener to today's Live Letter. Not holding my breath though. Too much Fluff to pass out. Not enough time for real transparency.

I remember some time back discussion about a L3 bad spot from NYC area to Montreal as being the source of this. I wonder if things don't improve whether SE might consider relocating their NA/EU server location. Might also be an opportunity to create some true EU servers. But then, perhaps the current problem is something else entirely.

If there is lag for some people, it's likely on their (SE's) network side the problem is. Be it directly on SE's network, SE's ISP's network or the upstream providers.
I can only say that I have not seen any sign of such lag myself, which indicates that it depends on which path the traffic takes to the datacenter.

Actually... Reading elsewhere it seems there are problems with Level 3 that affects other games as well... Which started some days ago for them too...

I have had 0 lag, on the actual server nor on the instance server, for many weeks. I did, however, see everyone else having issues around me - several DCs in the dungeon I was running, plus people on skype and in my FC that I was talking to also had issues. But for me, not a thing. Nor for one of my IRL friends. We're both British. I expect, then, it's an issue that isn't directly the fault of SE. The only people I do know it was affecting are those who are based in the US.

People seem to forget that networks are pretty fragile, and that information doesn't go direct to the intended servers.

Tried to restart the game. I am now getting a Fatal Direct X failure message. Is the me of the game? any info would be appreciated.

Can't address what is not under their control. It's L3 Communication.
