I think the only way to fix this would be to decrease DPS and all raid animations. D&D is a game of imagination and I think it would help if we all just stood in the raid and pretended we were attacking. Even better, the game should roll some dice when we enter the quest and basis that roll, determine whether we succeed or fail.

I offer this advice on fixing lag for free so just a simple "thanks" is more than sufficient.

Thanks Danmor. I mean really now, can you believe some people? Sheesh.

Meh, sarcasm's hard to get in written word. But still, c'mon people, nobody seriously suggests replacing quests with single dice rolls. That should have been obvious.

Now I'm being way too nice. Back to the Khyber forums. I need my daily fill of flame and hate

As per Phax's request to update on the weekend lag, here are my notes:

-Thursday/Friday throughout the day had complaints from my group-mates of getting stuck in loading screens from zoning into different instances (particularly from market to one of the houses, and also loading into the depth's series) experienced a little bit of this myself. mild annoyance, did not last for more than a minute at most.

-Saturday tried to do an epic raid or two. noticed in VON 5 while running around, quite a bit of rubber-banding going on. exiting and restarting the client did not affect this, continued to rubber band. turning the graphics settings down still did not help. several party members complaining of it also. During VON 6 there was a 5-7 second complete freeze of the client for the entire party while beating on vela. after the game unfroze, any heals that were being spammed went through, luckily she did not breath during this time frame and didnt cause us to wipe.

-several times throughout the day where I noticed latency Jumped up to about 600-700, did not notice any rubber banding on character movement but noticeable delay on combat actions (damage being dealt to a mob, drinking potions using spells ect..) lasting for 2-5 minutes at a time.

system specs:
Gigabyte GA-MA790FX-DS5 motherboard
AMD Phenom II 940 processor
4 GB 1066mhz RAM (OCZ brand)
Gigabyte ATI Radeon HD4890 series graphics card
2 500GB seagate HDD's formatted in RAID-0 (striped array)

..don't know if any of this info helps, hopefully it does. These are notes of about 12-hours' worth a day of being in-game thursday, friday, and saturday. will continue to monitor for minor issues after the patch on monday.
