What the fuck is with the lag?

Element · 11-10-2004, 06:12 PM

I can't even fucking play too much lag.

Warrik · 11-10-2004, 06:15 PM

Its the only reason im not playing atm and in EQ2. I hope they fix it for launch.

Cryptin · 11-10-2004, 06:16 PM

You referring to EQ2 or WoW?

holydevil · 11-10-2004, 06:22 PM

Wow.

Every night since open beta sign ups wow has been lagging like crazy. Anything server-side seems shot to shit. Tradeskills take about 30-45 seconds to make an item instead of the normal 2-3 seconds. I can't sumon my pet that takes another min. Fighting is somewhat normal though, it is weird. The game is seriously unplayable I wonder what the problem is, like if its bandwidth, software or something. I just hope its fixable.

I can chat just fine, but I can't interact with a merchant, loot or trade with another player. It's weak.

If it's on targetting, and you have Cosmos alpha, disable your cosmos chat and targetting distance applets.

Kalahad · 11-10-2004, 07:06 PM

Only in the newbie areas. In feralas/badlands/searing gorge I can fight/loot/smith etc with no problems.

OopsICrappedMyPants · 11-10-2004, 07:18 PM

I've been playing since a few hours after open beta started. I've crashed twice, but beyond that zero lag. Medium computer set up, nothing great.

Not sure what's up with you guys.

Arbuste · 11-10-2004, 08:32 PM

It may not be on every server. On Test4, everybody was complaining of lag spikes. Every 1 or 2 minutes, everything would lag for 10 seconds or more... Mobs warping, impossible to use inventory or interact with NPCs...
The Server MOTD said they are aware of the issue, blah blah blah. Open Beta added some lag yesterday, but tonight's lag is much worse, after maintenance. They must be toying with the servers. I hope they fix it tonight.

Kodylan · 11-11-2004, 02:31 AM

This lag isn't clientside for you guys saying it is. If you think you're not experiencing lag, try looting something other than coin from a kill. You'll definitely see it there, it took me about 5 minutes to make 3 solid grinding stones yesterday on test 3.

Kalahad · 11-11-2004, 02:55 AM

I made the mistake of trying to make a bandage while in the back of a cave. Took 5 minutes to make it and the cave all respawned by time I did (none of them showed up until the bandage was made, oddly). Had to train/die 4 times to get out, kinda sucked, especualy on the repair cost.

FuckYou · 11-11-2004, 12:52 PM

Sounds like DAoC tradeskills. Push combine, wait 1 minute to see the results. Do this about 100 times then go aquire a bot program like Xylobot and macro it from there on out while you do laundry, watch MNF, bang the s.o./neighbor/neighbors' daughter....
