Whaa, it is always terrible in the beginning.

Each day it improves.

Yeah, because fewer people play each day.

Just ran a lag free instance of 20-25. We had about 4-6 per chamber and 2 per lever.

Additionally no summons etc.

Might try controlling the number of people and that may help.

[Musouka]

I vote against the OP then...

Currently on Cannith, cant move. Everyone in my party is completey lagged out, and has been for the last 15 minutes... Sigh...

Hey, I'm also on Cannith in a group completely lagged out in a bugged quest and tabbed out reading the forums! Go figure....

Yep, I had a party wipe at the dragon from lag in Cannith too. Couldn't move or cast for minutes at a time, and then when you could cast it just lagged harder.

But the mobs weren't effected by lag at all. How convenient.

While I don't doubt that lots of lag reports are due to something on the user's end, there is definitely whole-instance server side lag going on right now.

It's not every instance, but when it hits it's not pretty.

I don't have anything to say about the rest, but I wanted to say that I particularly agree with the bolded. Most of the time, when I hear people in the General chat complain about lag, I seem to be fine. The people complaining aloud are usually few and far between, so I would think it's something on their end, and no DDO.

[ssternlight]

We were just frozen the entire time. Lag was a minute or more and nothing worked. What a shame...

[Pewf]

Whole group reported lag spike, I just got disconnected on Ghallanda due to red connect thing.

Could type/talk perfectly though.

[GoRinNoSho]

Last year we avoided summons and too many persistent AoE spells like firewall and dance ball. That helped out a fair amount.

Additionally, when you hit all 4 altars you cut the number of players in that instance. So once you get 24-36 it may be a good idea to close an instance.

zero lag here

it is all about making your computer a gaming computer or one that is not one.

I will not tell you how, if you dont know then dont play

It has nothing to do with 'Uber Nasa Computers' i build and design custom gaming rigs, starting from as little as AUD$800, it's simply understanding the capabilites of your rig vs the game and 9/10 times i see my customers demanding far more than their rig can handle, stupid things like graphics ramped right up on a $50 card. Having said that i am not saying it is always the rig, because i see lag, nowhere near the scale some claim but i do get it often and yes i do have the 'Uber Nasa Rig' lmao. It comes back to turbines servers and pipes not handling the traffic, AND COMBINE that with a poorly equipped rig on the players end and i can see the crazy lag people are saying happens.

Here is DDO's system requirements. Recommended is 2.0 GHz. That's not very high.

I haven't played in a party at all so I don't know about lag, I only just got on an hour ago.

This lag is server side if people WHO ARE NOT PARTICIPATING IN MABAR are getting crushing amounts of lag. Don't just say "lol if you're having problems get a better PC" because no respectable game should require only the most high end of machines.

Gaming computers are primarily for improving the graphics anyway.
