Fix the game (Lag problems)

[Brightshadow]

Please fix these lag spikes they are unbearable making content unplayable for many players. I mean with the expensive cash shop and the high volume of players we would assume that this wouldn't be such a huge problem.

Its not the game that's broken, or EVERYONE would have lag.

Its routing between certain ISP's, which SE has NO control over...

Edit: Who's you ISP? What's your Ping and distance from the server? Are you wired or wireless? Ps3, PS4, or PC? Laptop or desktop? Do you have a new modem/router or older ones?

All of these can effect your connection to the game.

Grabbing my pitchfork, torch and heading to Comcast HQ. I have extras if anyone wants to join me.

May I borrow one of these?

I've been having issues the last few days, but it's more or less the result of heavy cyber attacks by various countries. Yeah for living 5 minutes from Lynnwood, US.

I'm in Redmond and having no issues.

Then maybe I should move a few miles southeast, because I've been getting 5 second long lag spikes since the recent round of attacks started this evening.

If your ISP is Comcast, its not a problem on SE's side. Several people on these forums and reddit, including myself, have reported lag spikes around this time for the last four days and a majority of us have Comcast as our ISP.

[SpiritTamer]

Yep. It's not a problem with the game, but an ISP issue. I also have Comcast and the game works perfectly during the day, but at night I get lag.

Far be it from me to defend Comcast, but I've traced latency and packet loss back to servers. There's nothing going on until you get to the "end of the line". It's also restricted to dungeon/raid servers; my realm servers are working well.
