Shroud lag back bigger and better

[magnus1]

so went to a shroud run and in part4 right towards the end of the fight, pow team wipe.we were all wondering in 2 seconds how we could go from full health,spamming heals to total party wipe? so we all recalled started a new group went back in and we get to part 4 and pow another lag spike so drastic that when i got put in part 5, dead, for 30 seconds damage scores rolled by my head. i imagine that when the patches came out it rolled back the lag fix that we all enjoyed that week after last mod. but lag is back bigger and better than before. the word "un" comes to mind, unsatisfied,unremarkable,unmotivated,unprofessiona l. not really mad as this is what i've come to expect. i fall into the unsatisfied category. so is this what we get? more lag, as it seems to be the great equalizer.do they even know how much lag there is? i really dont expect a fix, just wondering if they even have a clue as to all the broken parts of this game.oh.well have a good day and watch out for that old,new shroud lag.

Oh NO!
Don't let the Rouge die!
Otherwise you'll have to quest looking all pasty faced and unhealthy!

You guys don't know that Arraetrikos now casts Time Stop and Twin Spell: Delayed Blast Fireball, Twin Spell: Meteor Shower in rapid succession?

All kidding aside, no, I have not seen Shroud lag after the update. Were healers spamming mass heals when this happened? Were members of the party from different geological regions of the earth? i.e. Some from Oceania (Australia, New Zealand), some from Eastern Asia (China, Japan, Korea), some from Europe and some from North America and some from South America? DDO now has a system to deal the spell casted (like haste, etc.) asynchronously and the recipient won't get it till their system has caught up.

Not all lag is Turbine related. The poor gaming PC's and connections of your fellow players mean that it is harder for the servers to update their clients, causing lag.

You cant blame all lag on Turbine (some certainly, but not all).

I had a similar situation last night, but there were 3 groups runnig shroud at the same time. I hit a huge lag spike but I heard my hard drive chugging pretty hard at the same time and when I checked my toolbar I noticed that my laptop picked the worst possible time to do a backup and a virus check at the same time. Stopped both and part 5 went fine with a few little hitches but nothing major.

Not all turbines fault but it has improved from before when it was really bad.

I haven't seen a problem specific to the Shroud since the update. However, I have seen an uptick in the number of jarring completely game halting full server lag spikes which have on occasion been nasty enough to cause mass DC's.

What I do see, almost everytime, is a lag spike at the end of part 1 and part 4, when running to the chests.

Agreed. Something about the loot generation on the Shroud chests in 1 and 4 especially causes a violent freeze. It's pretty much just part of the experience for me now.

Name your servers if you are going to claim lag. What kind of lag as well. Standard Melee Lag, or spikes and waves. Times and party details as well. How many casters, how much DPS, any Monks or known long distance players from EU or beyond and how many Disconnects.

Details details details...

On Thelanis, the Melee Lag for THe Shroud persists but inconsistently, more often just spikes for a few seconds. But a few seconds of caster lag in Pt 4 or 5 is a party wipe.

The general complaints are decreasing among the server population on Thelanis, but the ridicule of DEVs and their abuse of the truth continues..
