I am so sick of the lag in this game. In Gianthold with a full group of level 13 and 14 heirlings wiped out by lag and contracts expire. I like to see how long I can keep the heirlings in my party not how fast I can go through TP. I wish they would do something to address the lag problem. Couldn't move and then dead. I bought a brand new computer with 8 gigs of ram to prevent this. Starting to feel like Turbine is just trying to make money on all the heirlings. Sick of it.:mad:

Bringing more than 1 hireling with you is a recipe for disaster, unless you need to park them on a pressure plate and forget about them (in which case use the lvl 1s as they are cheap).

[Internetisrsbsn]

Lithic is right. Even one hireling can cause you to lag. Bringing 5 is asking to crash DDO.

Roses are red
But dead flowers sag
Devs, hear what is said
And please fix the lag.

I don't think I ever remember there not being lag in GH

I'm lvl 14 and spent 1 hour in GH, that was enough for me. Its not worth it, IMO. I actually was getting sick trying to run straight or trying to turn. I have lag in all the wilderness areas, but GH is double that. I have no expectations or hope it will ever be different.

Gianthold is one of the best areas out there...without a doubt. That said, it isnt uncommon for me to spend around two minutes just zoning into the place. I experience lag more than most, and am confident that it is mostly due to my own limitations and not those of Turbine, but everyone I run with experiences the worst lag in GH (Shroud Raids aside).
I know the hireling/lag issue has been beat to death, but I have run Orchard solo and I have run Orchard with a hireling (many times both ways) and it is pretty obvious to me that hirelings contribute to lag.
