After EH-Raid yesterday I really think it depends on how many players are online over all. We fought gardener when our server was quite empty and i felt like casting with double TC (if possible )

But after a while, here in germany about prime time, everything went absolutly the same :

I push a button for a spell, nothing happens - i pushed it 2,3,4.... 17times and horray i started casting. my spell stopped at 99,99% and froze for about 5-10secs. This is absolutely the worst kind of lag we have and this has to be the no.1 priority.

I don't know where, but DraconisExtinctor posted an example of a fight against Tunare somewhere here on the board, heard about 30people in LesserFay. If you focus on the spells the player is trying to cast you'll see what i mean.

This might be posted a little late, but our last Avatar of War kill, there was a good 5-6 seconds (server side) of spell lag where your spells would just there and do nothing, then all of a sudden you see the recast had already started. In the words of someone else "it was pretty much the ballerist shit ever."

Ok so since you want to single out Pinski tell me again who these characters are that are in dissolution on nektulos AND on who they are in a top guild on a french/german server.

They dont exsist. Running around by yourself in antonica is not the same experience as doing a raid zone with people equipped with the high end items that have to recalculate spell casts, recasts, etc.

Fuck I bet you cant name even one person who actually has this high end gear that has been proven to cause massive amounts of lag that has characters on an english and german/french server. Not to mention every server has that one day a month where for 3 hours there isnt much lag, although thats about all it is.

Shit I have a spell called Deluge that is a 1.5second cast time and a 9 second recast. There have been many times where I have chained this spell on AE encounters because the lag was so bad the recast was up before I had actually seen it finish casting.

Oh but you guys are way worse right? Shit your zone crashes every 20 seconds and you all load back in before the encouters break its so bad right? Get a clue.

EDIT - I should also add, we've run off most of the other competing raid guilds so there are very few people that show up to contested now and not very many doing instances, yet they still lag to shit. So if we have 10+ seconds of spell lag at times on our small server and your claiming its all from multiple people in the zone/area I guess the bigger servers must be having like 30+ seconds non stop since they have so many more guilds that show up huh? God what a stupid fucking claim.

The bottom line is the servers are shit, the lag is horrible to the point where playing the game is downright unfun. But what does SOE do? They decide to make bigger zones with RoK because obviously they can handle that!

The video from Draconis is on the Innovation boards here.
But in my opinion it doesn't show the lag even close to how bad it is. As Tota stated this shouldn't be a We-Lag-More-than-Thou-competition, we're in this freckin boat together. We might have some additional translation lag, well, we might even have major additional lag, but that doesn't mean that you have NO lag.

The situation is really unbearable, it's just not FUN to raid like this. Well, we kill shit either way, Draconis has even (quote) "merged" with the lag (quote). But this is not the way things should be. SOE is just not able to cope with this lag. They tried (sometimes and every time very very late, look at MMIS and the like), but they failed. I dunno what's wrong with their code, or if just all of us have shitty PCs (I doubt it).

/vote for Lag-Solution-Dev....

PS: You could at least have left us the illusion that server transfer was an option .

Judging from Ishbu's heated reply (actually has anybody ever seen Ishbu make a calm reply?) I'd say: Wow, Nek server is piss poor. Glad i'm on Splitpaw.

The lag on Splitpaw is not comparable to any of the non-english servers. We used to have lag problems but tbh apart from all the usual whining at least we don't have regular lag in instances.
Doing phh or cmayong when there's 3 guilds around does cause lag but that's to be expected, huh?
And actually Fable usually kills the contesteds before others even know they're up.


Splitpaw at least is a hell of a lot better than the german/french servers (we did have some lag during the week of the server transfers, though) so I guess Disso just rides the short bus called Nektulos.

Lol to be honest Ive only made maybe 3 "heated" posts ever. This wasnt one of them.

It takes a lot to make me actually upset in a post and doesnt happen very often, but it has happened once or twice, but they are few and far between.

TBH thats the same amount of lag we get every day, plus our server crashes weekly. If you guys didnt want this to be a "who lags the most" then you shouldnt have made comparisons to english servers.

Reading whole posts ftw.
I meant it wasn't really a good video to show the situation.

I did read your whole post, and it wasnt in reference to you, it was in reference to the video. Hence the YOU GUYS(see the plural) and not ardain. It was also why i only sniped the video quote from you instead of the whole post, thought that was implied but i guess not. I also stated that is our everyday lag, it goes to hell when 2-3 guilds get in the zone or if another guild is in the same instance as us.
