More lag?

[Delssar]

I dont know if anyone else has noticed this but


Before the update and on lama land I had almost zero lag ever (there was the odd time here and there and what not)

But now with the xpac I find it hard to even move 15 feet in a public area. Im guessing it could be from the amount of people logging in, but when it takes you 10 mins or more to go from the Market/Harbor gates to House D its a bit annoying.

Now, im not having any problems in private instances, so I dont think its from my end, and nothing about my connection or computer has changed since before the xpac.

Any idea's?
Is it happening to anyone else?

I've also noticed more lag since the expansion. Started getting it in places I hadn't before.

It's happening to me too, in all content.

Worst is when I am trying to decon stuff in the crafting hall. It took me 10 mins to decon 20 items. Every time I clicked the decon button my whole screen would freeze for 5-20 seconds.

But in general I'm getting a hell of a lot of lag lately; lot of stuttering and hitching I hadn't seen before. Even some of the stuff that was really rare before seems to be happening more often; like having to relog to get rid of permanent damaging effects, casting 1-5 times the same spell and nothing happening, having traps hit you 10 times all at once when you are well past them in the next room, being stuck in mid-air for 15+ seconds etc...

Yesterday, I thought 'well, its probably because of server load'. But today I'm kinda worried because it seems to get worse and worse.... :(

I am experiencing a resurgance of lag since MotU went live. I attributed it to more players in the game. Then I started to notice the server does not appear to be overly populated as it was when it went FTP for instance. Only time will tell if it settles down (my guess not).

Holy hell Khyber seems laggy tonight, at least in Wiz King....

Hitching, rubber-banding, having to drink a pot or cast the same thing 5-10 times for it to work... :(


Yikes...

I'm having a different experience on khyber. I'm occasionally getting little hiccups where swapping weapons takes a half second longer than i feel it should, but 99% of the time seems things smooth.

The 1% that it isn't smooth, my party got approx 2 minutes of "hangtime" (I was midair and just stuck there during this lagspike XD), but somehow came back with only 1 dead party member. She took 603 damage from burning blood. In 1 shot. After 30 resist. AND THAT WAS JUST THE FIRE DAMAGE. And people say burning blood isn't a good damage spell XD!

Well, I THOUGHT I remembered reading somewhere that turbine had outsourced their servers, so I did a bit of digging and this is what I found.... http://forums.ddo.com/showthread.php?p=2169431

I'd say thats the problem..

Makes sense about the lag if you think about all of the people that have returned, and are actually playing, because of the expac plus all of the new code with all of the flashy new things the server must keep track of it is only logical the lag went up.

One more expac (2 more are planned) and the game will implode and a divide by zero error will just seem like a mild rift in comparison to the black hole we will all be sucked in due to it.

I also know Turbine said they had plans to fix the lag so I can't wait for that.
