Is DPS Lag back?

[Vengeance777]

Guild group got massive lag during a fight with the Abbot and with Harry in Shroud during the parts where melees were hitting the boss. Abbot lag was so bad the ice wand holders couldn't cast to make islands. Its very similar to the lag we had before the hit detection/melee alacrity fixes a few updates ago. Getting the same on the live servers as well since update 7 patch 1.

Heck, DPS lag for me never went away in the first place.

The massive Shroud lag that got fixed was an artificial downstream bandwidth limitation that got removed (or made high enough that it doesn't appear any more), it just happened at the same time as the other changes and wasn't publicized as much.

Unless you are now hitting the higher downstream bandwidth limit then it's a completely different issue.

Or, like me, you could now have an issue where the higher downstream bandwidth is sometimes more than your connection can handle.

Never noticed a lack of lag, or dps lag. Last shroud run, was still watching dmg numbers scrolling while opening chest in part 4.

Floaty numbers lag doesn't appear to affect actual gameplay though

ive noticed it back on live as well. same mmo, high speed melee attacks mob, lag insues... this happens everywhere, not just on abbot/shroud, just depends on your computer/isp tho for the most part.

I ran Shroud last night on Orien and had absolutely no dps lag. I still get hitches when going to chests (particularly in part 1), but I haven't seen any lag in the part 4 combat for some time. Well, excluding when I play on slow computers via poor wireless connections.
