Geez...first ToD run got the full party lag-wipe

[Chauncey1]

We had the boss nearly killed...then we got the Patented Turbine Greater Lag Buff...
Then we we all got deader'n heck.

BUT!!!11!!
It was great up until that point.
I'm glad I watched those youtube videos of the ToD raid, it helped quite a bit.
Felt like I'd already been there...even though I had only a vague idea what I was supposed to be doing. It was nice knowing where and how to avoid stupid deaths, like falling off the fire bridge, or the slippery staircase thingy.

I think the effects logging and bursts of activity has made raids a LAG fest and other places.

The effects communication to the client is nothing new. The only difference is now the client shows it in the chat if you so choose. I seriously doubt it has anything to do with lag.
