Server: Ghallanda
Zone: Any private (although this last was in Soami Gardens)
This occurs while I am soloing with a hireling (cleric). I get into a fight (this time was rare cat), while my latency remains 50-70ms, zero packet loss, sent: 250-300 bps, rec'd goes over 20000 bps. Once again I died. While my death pop-up showed, I stood there for a bit getting hit by the lion and healed by my cleric (yeah I was dead), I ran around the zone and got the grey out of my minimap, I chatted with my guildmates. And I was still getting hit and healed. My guildmate came in, I sent him a party invitation. He joined came into the zone and I was standing at the entrance (no I wasn't dead.) We immediately began talking in VC (yeah I was still dead, getting hit and healed, running around the zone dead, and all the while standing alive at the zone entrance. He went to the location I told him I was, and he found my own and my cleric's soulstones (yeah I was dead and standing alive at the entrance). All the time, I was getting hit by the lion and healed by the cleric. He carried my own and my cleric's stones to the rez shrine (no I couldn't see those shrines even thoough he put the stones right in front of them). Again I was still getting hit by the lion and healed by the cleric dead while standing at the entrance to the zone alive. When the melee damage finally did catch up (several minutes later), the flash screen popped, I was dead and my stone was in front of the rez shrine but I couldn't use it, and neither could my cleric. (no I didn't bother to find out if I was still standing alive at the entrance as well, I quit out of the game.
This is happening all the time now, while mainly on the weekends. Allways solo with a hireling and never in a group. I have reported this bug several times, told in game support what happened, they told me to submit another bug report. I have released while this was going on, popped alive at the spirit binder and died immeditely all over again from the incoming melee damage (no, not left over spell effects).
This is getting old. It's happening VERY frequently and has been for over 3 weeks. It is also going to cost Turbine a customer because I won't pay for a game I can't play. I have no idea why it is only happening when I solo. It is NOT my system because I have no problems at all in 6 man groups and in 12 man raids. It is not my ISP. And it has only been happening for the last month or so. I have played since Sept when you went f2p, and I didn't have any problems until recently with any of my characters on any of the servers (yes I have characters on all the servers just play mainly on Ghallanda).
And, from the general chat channel conversations, it is not just me this is affecting. Folks on this server are having problems with huge lag spikes in quest instances all the time now.
