Re: Lag
VP tonight on Nek seemed to lag for a second or so every 5-10s while in combat. Spell bars would hang at 100% before casting, and if i wasn't paying close attention to make sure i waiting long enough for a spell to start before hitting the next one they'd skip, as it took the server a second to register them being hit.
It wasn't to an unplayable level, but it was certainly at a level that greatly impacted play. It seemed to get much worse just before we entered Milex's room at the top of the elevator and then through his fight, but it was noticeable the entire time. Didn't think to check packet loss, but ping wasn't spiking. BPS was a consistent 18k-25k or so mostly during combat, didn't notice any large variations to it. During Hoshkar people reported a couple times actually lagging off of the moving platform.
This made maintaining perpetuality as a chanter near impossible when combined with the increased resists since the LU (I think the lag probably had 3-5x the affect that the resist changes did) On bad fights I could barley hit the upper 2k's as an Ilus (A minimum of 1200-1500 off what i should have been hitting without lag) Also when the lag got exceptionally bad one thing I noticed was that the Wizards Rays of Disintegration wouldn't actually trigger me to cast the spell.
Even on the fights where the lag wasn't really 'bad' I could easily notice a sluggish feel the game had with casting, just enough to make my play feel not quite normal. Will try to remember to report back tomorrow when we head into the 3rd wing if the issues still persist, also will keep an eye on the packet loss bar.
