EQ Discord shows same complaint with players cross different servers. Not only raid, but different zones as well. We called raid early.
FV closed raids early as a result. Wiped us on Deepshade 1 when we all lost connectivity for 3 minutes.
ETA on network/routing fixes? I have no lag as others do, Comcast/Xfinity in the PNW. Seems localized to midwest and northeastern US, from what I have seen as others have complained for the past 4 days.
We managed to finish the raid but suffered 6+ lag spikes where the connection bar hit 70-80% before coming back to 100%. It seemed each lag spike was maybe 5-10 min apart. It was just long enough that we were able for off tanks to grab the boss/adds. Rez up the dead, do a few buffs, then brace of the next round lag spike. Hope you all can figure out what was going and correct it. ( and give us an explanation )
Adding myself to the list of complaints re: *severe* server lag since latest patch. In my case - it appears only in raid instances. I play on the Antonius Bayle server, and only affects my play in raid instances. Today, so far, I had issues in every raid instance starting in Shar Vahl. Spell gems do NOT refresh, AAs can not be used. I can confirm it is not my connection to the Internet; discord works fine, Internet browsers aren't an issue at all; occurs only trying to raid in instances in NoS. In my case I am connecting to the Euro server from the Northeast U.S. and this hasn't been an issue for me in 12 years. Til today. An update would be appreciated.
Last night the entire server was having lag spikes, big ones. Bertoxx. Everyone in my guild throughout Norrath reported it happening to them at the same times. The network connection meter in-game (F11) was showing the percentage starting to drop, as if going link dead. This went on for maybe 20 seconds or more before restoring to normal. In one case our tank died during this. This happened several times that night.
Is anyone still seeing significant connection issues for everyone in the zone at once? i.e. the netstat meter dropping for 5+s or long enough that everyone in the zone is disconnected.
Same, Comcast/Xfinity in the Seattle area, but zero lag for me. Might be something else on your side.
In CO and was getting the lag during raid. There were others in all other parts of the country and got it at the same time. Not everyone got the lag just 15 folks or so. One person in the raid had a box on the raid and one character was getting the lag and the other wasn't.
This is also occurring on The Rathe server, specifically when the raid force is in close to each other and casting/melee the mobs all in melee range where lag has a chance to occur prior to the patch. It now is so bad that it takes seconds just to turn the character to run when the emote requires that action and some have even died before they could get more than a few steps towards the required destination. In our cast it has been NOS raids.
The lag initially reported in this thread was externally caused and we believe that it is resolved now. If you are having specific lag issues, please open up a new bug thread with details. Thanks!
