I refuse to do Visions again

I just failed in a group because of lag. The lag in there is terrible. It is a waste of time and resources to get close to the end of a raid and fail due to the lag. Until it is fixed I'm just not going to bother.

Normally I would chide the OP for a post like this for being a noob, but I can't. That's sad, and why? Because the lag is so overwhelming right now that I actually sympathize with him. Yes, me and sympathy. I know . . . I know . . . write it in your diary's kids.

Doesn't mean I'm going to stop running VoD, just means I can understand why, especially on a resource-intensive toon.

Well, I will count myself lucky as I have not really had many lag issues. My loot pulls, however, leave something to be desired.

I have been running lowbies and mid-levels during the xp time and I have had 0 lag.

It is interesting that the lag seems to occur at the higher levels for the greater part. IS this due to the number of monsters? Is it due cc spell affects?

I've done a mixture of low and high levels lately. I've seen a decent amount of lag in some of the lower level quests, but nothing on the scale of the high level ones. I suspect it has something to do with the damage numbers, both given and received. A party of 16s can put out a lot of damage, and it will come from multiple sources. On the same token, they will also be taking damage much faster, usually from more sources as well. There are probably numerous other factors involved as well, but everyone should be able to attest to the existence of DPS lag in the Shroud.

snap out of it man, he is a noob and you know it

just kidding, I log in less and less these days, because I can't bear to do high end content the way it is and my lowbie leveling just isn't super exciting these days

Who are these community members anyway? I think the players are responsible for the lag. If turbine could get rid of them I have a suspicion the lag would disapper too.

The lag is, slowly but steadily, eroding my desire to play the game. This is my off time, time that I want to spend having fun with my friends fighting monsters. Not a time I want to spend fighting frustration and anger due expressly to lag - commiserating with my friends over the sad state the game has fallen into.

It's not my computer. It's not my video card. It's not my IP.
It's server-side lag, lag that only hit me once they changed their network provider. And it needs to be fixed soon, or I won't give a bloody **** what cool things are coming in the next mod. As I said in my other post - I'm moving into a new house soon, and adding a lot of additional financial burden to my life. If I cannot just log in to have fun & not have to worry about lag - then I simply will find a better use of my free time.

I'm right there with ya Mem. If you do go, let us know where so we can all join you in the Merry Old Land of Oz.

Just be sure no one drops a house on you....

LAG stands for what? Lowest Actual Gamers? *wry expression*
