Whats is with this Lag Fest?

[MCS-Apophis]

<p>Ok, ever since this expansion has started, lag has gotten out of hand, (permafrost).</p><p>Sundered Frontier is a joke, we raided palace for laughs tonight and it was like the bugged MMB from a few weeks ago, complete lag fest.</p><p>Whats going on?</p>

[Thunderthyze]

<p>Fun isn't it? Although, makes an otherwise very easy expansionsomewhat more challenging.</p>

[Muraazi]

<p>The ironic part is, I'm betting the SF gear not having procs was an idea to lessen the lag. Only it doesn't seem to be working heh.</p>

<p>If you have lag on your server don't try AB, nuff said.</p>

<p>I havent really had any problems with lag lately I play on permafrost the only times I had trouble was launch day and the day after</p>

The Lag is absolutely outrageous. I am pretty upset that I have paid for this service for this long and this is how Sony repays us. They should be ashamed of themselves for such a poorly executed rollout. Whether it be bandwidth or underpowered servers it should be within their power to fix this.

<p>I haven't had any lag at all either, except a tiny bit when crafting in Paineel itself. Nothing really detrimental. Been smoother than the last expansion, which was smoother than the expansion before it. It's a good progression. <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/e8a506dc4ad763aca51bec4ca7dc8560.gif" border="0" /></p>

<p>Agreed with above poster re: AB.</p><p>Lag, especially in but not limited to the SF zones is mind-blowing.  No matter how many instances of SF pop (8+, at least) the whole thing is an exercise in frustration trying to do anything more difficult than standing there, looking pretty.</p>

<p>On Test lag in Paineel has been so bad the past few days that it looks like film taken with a strobe light. Almost unplayable for me. <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/c30b4198e0907b23b8246bdd52aa1c3c.gif" border="0" /></p>

<p>The problem is new zones are not being created because you can't see how many players are inthe zones until you get there.</p><p>In beta we asked that they show us how many players were in the zone when we are given the list of ones to choose from.</p><p>This is what happens.</p><p>Zone 1 fills up</p><p>Zone 2 is created</p><p>Zone 2 fills up</p><p>Zone 3 is created</p><p>Players assume 3 is the least populated and go there</p><p>Zone 2 disappears</p><p>Zone 1 and 3 become overpopulated</p><p>Zone 4 never gets created because 2 is missing.</p><p>Last night we had Hole 1, and Hole 3.  What happened to 2?</p><p>Point is it's not working and the intended max of 50 players is getting up to 75+ and making the game almost unplayable.</p>

<p>Max of fifty players?  What is this madness you speak of?</p><p>In SF 7 last night, when I checked, there were 86 folks.  I zoned in to Stonebrunt, and there were more than 90.</p>
