And it will not make a lick of difference when they transfer to those lower population shards. There are inherently two clusters right now for the N.A. group (I am not sure what the EU group has). Both NA clusters are lagged pretty bad during peak hours in the evening when there are major events occurring. Remember Ember Isle on wolfsbane during end-boss zone events? It wasn't just lagging the shard, it was lagging the whole cluster. Greybriar had the same issue, lagging out the cluster it was(and still is) on. Another scenario, another time, same issue.Originally Posted by Sariina
The lag you see isn't exactly FPS lag, it is server side lag. For example, you press an ability, it delays and does nothing, or it would simply say 'another ability is prepping'. This is a prime example of server side lag, not client side lag. Moving your client to another shard/server will not fix the underlying issue that is occuring currently with trions servers, not your client.
The other issue with where your client and other clients 'freeze up' but you can still press buttons, however nothing responds at all, then catches up seconds later in a burst of abilities and screen spam. This issue is a multi-edged issue. One part can be that trions bandwidth is being exhausted, the RAM / CPU is being flat out thrashed, gasping for resources on the servers; or a route between you(your internet provider) and trion is having issues.
edit; I would love for someone at Trion to correct me on anything said here. I am grasping at straws at this point, with what is going on.

Players from nearly every shard are experiencing ridiculous server side lag that makes instanced raiding nearly impossible. Devs, we'd love a little bit of information right now. At least throw us a bone and acknowledge that this is a known issue on your side. My 15 bucks a month can easily find a more stable game to play if this has no solution in sight.

I didn't want to use that line but I seriously do not even enjoy raiding at the moment. The amount of lag experienced anywhere not even just in raids is ridiculous. The game is awesome, but they are currently making it unable to be played; they need to acknowledge this and fix it. You cannot leave this problem alone.

Honestly i've been on the fence about continuing, mainly staying to see through ID + my sub is paid through October and I was ready to throw in the towel. It's not fun at all and I love raiding.

On Seastone.
terrible ability lag since 1.9 ...on a fight like Laethys with tight DPS checks this can really crap on your raid.
Normal ping: ~70
Last night avg: ~400
Our poor clerics who are trying to time shields+anticipatory heals were just not able to compete. A lot of instant cast abilities (Healing Breath, etc) just wouldnt fire.
For me, playing BS (drain rogue on Laethys) was a PITA to keep buffs/blinks up since a finisher or port just wouldnt fire every now and then.

Yea, it's screwed up good this time. Server lag, Conquest PvP lag and it's dragging raid instances down as well. It's all dead :/
No problem LADS, we are focusing on MASS EVENTS, CROSS <insert random stuff here>.
But ... "WE" got our butt kicked by being cheap on infrastructure. Paul was right, servers are being hosted in Bulgaria.
Being in game at this point is the most worthless time spent ever.

I've never been a "change this or I'm quitting" QQ type of guy, but not being able to do the only content I pay for due to server side lag issues makes me a sad panda. I'll keep an eye on this thread and will remain optimistic for some sort of Dev response or acknowledgement, but I have my doubts that will happen.
Not gonna lie i'm pretty upset right now, inability to raid due to lag on their part and unable to pvp due to bug on their part. I know they're working on the 2nd part but i'm running out of reasons to log in. I want to play the game but they are making it difficult for me.

Yea, the ball was really dropped on this one. Even with the testing. Right now Conquest is unplayable. People just sit there waiting for others to crash to get in and get the wack out of balance favor, pres., exp, etc. etc.
And on top of that the unplayable PvP instance is dragging every other raid instance down along with it. People can't play Conquest and can't raid, but just sit there and wait 'till it's over again. Icewatch must be even better with everything already lagging like hell even before 1.9 hit.
Why not just disable the cwap until it's fixed?! :/
Thanks for the laugh, I needed it on a day like this one.
Record-breaking heat outside and unable to play the game I like inside... Might have to go see a movie or have a drink at the pub. Egads!

Yes and no. If people were like, "Gnarlwood and Threesprings, that's the places to be!" Next thing you know, they'd be Deepwood and Deepwood would be low pop.
I'm exaggerating as to the speed of it, but I'm pretty sure that's basically what happened with Deepwood. People go where people are, or to get away from somewhere, until the majority of servers are either ghost towns or 24/7 lag fests.
This is insanely stupid, all I have to say right now...

I completely agree. There's no reason to try and do anything productive since the lag takes over. Oh well, time to start pre-gaming for tonight I guess.
