I refuse to do Visions again

[Dori]

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.

I hear ya man

[Deval]

The shroud still aint no picnic either.

They really need to fix it once and for all.

Hey we will always have tangleroot

Welcome to DDO! Home of lag, lag, and more lag. If you look to your left you'll see some lag. If you look to your right you'll see some fanbois claiming there is no lag. I hope you enjoy your short stay and have a nice canceled subscription!

[Draekoss]

The is no lag in DDO its a myth.

[Freeman]

Well, I went on a guild run once, where we wiped at the very beginning. Of course, it is hard to survive for long when not a single heal spell ever goes off because of lag. Both myself and one other barbarian went all the way through our combat logs and didn't see a single instance of a heal, cure, or reconstruct spell landing. We could even see the casting animations going off, but nothing would actually happen. We should have known better when just getting to the quest was tough because of people lagging off ledges, halfway through jumps, etc. Even in Shroud, we had a run last week where the lag was so bad we barely even made it through, and that was in a fairly good group. But even the best DPS doesn't help when only every third swing or so even registers.

Mirta you are always a beacon of positivity ^_^

...but really you need a new video card which is what the forums tell me, with all that combined DDO knowledge they must be right!

If everyone on Thelanis buys new PCs and changes their ISPs first, then Turbine may check into this potential lag issue. Otherwise I just don't see them owning up to this issue.

Other players aren't finding lag when they are on Korthos island, so how could there possibly be lag in raids?

That everyone is getting huge lag spikes (sometimes lasting up to 3 minutes) could not possibly be Turbine's fault. I suggest everyone who is upset about the lag add it to their signatures so it gets the attention it deserves.

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.

[Deval]

Totally agree memnir!

For people to even suggest that its ones computer makes me laugh every time

Peoples computers have not changed since the game came out, yet lag is worse.
People have upgraded to near super computers, faster net speeds etc etc, yet the lag gets worse.

A 12 man shroud raid, built from people all over the world get the lag at the exact same point, yet people will still suggest that it is their computer.

If by chance you dont experience lag, I think you should start your own cult or something for you are the incarnation of the lag god. Delivering lag to everyone but yourself, either that or you are completely full of ****.

Unfortunately when mod 9 does eventually come out, (I hear it really does exist), the lag is gonna be unbearable.

Imagine the lag when we travel to the devils plane, which I would presume will be raids of some sort.

Has anyone thought that it is the Devils delivering tha lag, gotten alot worse since meridia you know......( just trying to lighten it up a bit lol)

In closing:

FIX THE LAG

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....


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

[Wrigley]

Its not lag. It's a feature. Increased difficulty level due to raid mastery.

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.

[Hafeal]

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
