We`ll, our german servers have a special status: there`s a real-time translation program running on it..........at this data amount: worst solution ever!

Patch valor and innovation into an english language server: major problem solved.

These players who can`t handle this will leave, but the thousands who left the game because of these lag circumstances will return.......a fair trade......

We`ll see what this patch did to valor today. The majority of us didn`t expect anything great, but this thread here ruins even our lowest expectations towards lag improvements, again......

And the traces/logs Snargh mentioned: we sent them to SoE. Last time we were fighting PHH and had horrible lags again. (about 60 people in zone)
It was always the same: data packets had about 50ms latency, but reaching valor itself busted the scale up to 10 seconds.
This is NOT a problem towards the game machines the players use, this is NOT an ISP issue, it IS a serverproblem.

And furthermore I agree with Ishbu: I hate casual players and especially raidforces, because they are too stupid to manage their raid proper.
Instead they`re assembling in front of an instance for several hours, spamming the channels they`re looking for healers and piss of the raids who want to pick on any contested in the same zone.


burn in hell, noobs

So great, there is no content worth doing for more people than can be counted offhand and we got a little quest that took people 5 minutes to do. YAY that was totally a good use of resources and improved the game and made people want to log in tomorow and continue paying their fee's!

If you were in charge of this fix or any of the prior "fixes", I have a question.

How do you stay employed?

I can't think of a single update in the last year that has actually fixed lag. When theres 3+ guilds in MIS, lag is unplayable. When theres 2+ guilds at a contested, lag is ridiculous. I don't even think you guys have 48 employees at SoE to even test this. Thats why you have the test server right? Actually you have quite a few test servers. Everyone who posts here is on one.

You guys drop the ball, go look for it for 4 months straight, find it or think you find it, add a new ball that uses the same ball design, find the old ball 6 months later, which turns out to be the new ball, say you are working on the ball, by then its Expansion time and what did you fix? Not the friggin ball. Time to release more content!

Log in all those toons people, make money selling back those courts horses from DoF and getting a better mount while also getting a half an achievement point and about 40 g in quest rewards for doing 3 quests that take five minutes!

This is the best deal in game for casual players. Only problem is, it's really difficult to look at those new mounts. You seen an Ogre ride one yet?

There was no server improvements. I think they forgot to put them in the game. Castle Mistmoore was worse than I've seen with a second raid force in zone. Lag was immediately gone once the other guild zoned into IS.

Ok ........... i want to put my own thoughts into it.

We didnt do any contested last night (Disso was busy owning the PHH even through the lag), so we were doing FTH. Some of my guildies were complaining about more lag than usual, no idea if they were just saying that or anything but ZONING took a few people who are usually fast zoners alot longer than usual, and when COQing from the zone afterwards I (and a couple others) got booted to the character select screen (something i've seen more lately than previously).

Also while fighting Treyloth i noticed either as, or just before the 'kick' that I (as MT) would get hit with Searing Rot. There was also a nice little delay several times (Including EVERYTIME the encounter started, cause we wiped several times due to the supposed 'lag' and such) from when i would hit buttons to when the CA's would cast (and zerk stuff is basically instacast).

Just figured i'd throw my two cents into the ring, who knows maybe it would help.
