Bad lag Sarlona?

[Beethoven]

Tower of Despair end fight: roughly 3 seconds delay on intimidates going off. Heals frequently did even longer. Melees froze and stuttered when trying to move. It was atrocious.

I seen laggy before (and usually am no one who complains) but this was probably the worst case I have seen and unlike other times it did not clear up - felt like the whole instance was out of sync with several seconds delay. As said, it affected the entire raid group (12 players connecting from different regions in the US) so doubt it was connection or client side.

Now, please don't get me wrong - it's less me ranting and complaining but meaning to ask anyone else experiencing this in ToD or other raids (ie: something broke) or was it just a fluke with some really bad luck with getting into a really bad lag/screwed up instance?

[Lifespawn]

it's been happening a lot lately not just in tower either whole raids of people complaining something is happening

[Dozen_Black_Roses]

Not just raids...quests also. The lag the last Id say 2 weeks has been getting progressively worse and worse.

This

[KreepyKritter]

It's been more than just the last two weeks, it's just gotten progressively (significantly) worse in the last two weeks. I don't notice it on other servers, though... Orien has been smooth as silk, and Gallanda has been showing me much love over all.

Now, maybe I'm just not logged into those servers during their horrific-awful-scary lag moments, but I can't be the only one who has alts on multiple servers.

The last week or 2 it has gotten worse and worse.

[Lord_WC]

It progresses with time and number of people in the instance.

If I solo I feel a slight lag, which is annoying but not game breaking.
With 2-3 players pots/clickies sometimes won't work.
With 6 toons hits start not registering.
Yeah, and raids are really bad.

It's like the server is slowly dying.

And no, it's not my rig or connection, both are able to handle many times more demanding programs.

[mws2970]

Yes. All over the place.

Morning Baer...

Prior to your run ran one myself.

Part 1: LOTS of rubberbanding when the party was tossed about.

Part 2: Expected lag/wipe due to lag but none was to be found.

Part 3: Started off fine, but just got so bad, we HAD to Ddoor and call it.

Several seconds of no melee hits registering, Spells not going off or landing - or IF they landed, effect took place 4-6s after casting. Swapping weapons would take a handful of seconds as well.

TBH, been some time since I have experienced lag like this - little concerning after maintenance.

[Partydeluxe]

I've been having the same, even failed a shroud last night because of it. 2 healers (one of which was me) spamming at least 4-5 mass heals and cures each of which only one made it through the lag-monster after about 10 seconds, which was to late unfortunately.. Shroud after that, same thing except now i expected it and frantically smashed every button that matches a white/red icon on my bars, guess that worked :s

I've been having the same problems as well but honestly was expecting to see 4 or 5 of the 'l2p and get a real rig' posts here. You know it's bad when the system snobs don't even bother showing up.

[Terdfergeson]

My son talked me into downloading LOTRO a couple of weeks ago. I started having much more rubberbanding lag immediately after this. One of the programs that loaded at that time was Pando Media Booster or somesuch. Once I removed Pando, my rubberbanding lag was eliminated.

[terribabe69]

This is my lag...
Running through Marketplace: stop, go stop go, OH im in a corner lets try running up the stairs..whoopsie I slipped..stop go stop go.

In a dungeon stop go stop go, start fighting whoops I missed him completley DING! Goes some party members. OH SNAP there was a spike trap there?!?! (says the lvl 19 rouge) =/

[Sarisa]

Especially bad tonight (Wed. 12 Jan). Helping someone flag for Titan, and would have the "stop go" freezing and 3-5 second spell cast delays for a significant portion of Slavers of the Shrieking Mine. People in widely varied geographical and network areas all experienced the lag, so it wasn't with any one person's PC/connection or with any one ISP's transit.

[twigzz]

Yeah last night was freaking horrible! I was getting atleast 3 sec(more like 5sec) lag. Was trying to run Sins and pretty much gave up.......

[HansVonMorr]

I dont notice it on account that Australia has bad lag all the time.

[Grimmsie]

Unable to play normally today..been losing connection and reestablishing it over and over...anyone else getting this?

Also having some packet loss ranging from a 0-1% and when i'm losing connection to 40% even (which is not being able to move at all).

[Karrgon]

had 2 disconects eary on today on the span of 15 min and later on this day had 3 massive lag spikes one almost ending in a wipe. It be stormy out on the high seas of the servers.
