Anyone Else Unable to Play Due to Lag??

Since yesterday, the game has been completely unplayable with the exception of a few spurts in the late afternoon (West Coast US - PST) Saturday and earlier today for about 1-2 hours.

Yesterday I could barely get to the character selection screen. Half the time the game would hang when trying to load my characters on the character selection screen. If I was lucky enough to get past that the game would then hang up on the loading screen. If I managed to get past even that I would experience latency in excess of 11,000+ (type in /netgraph 1). This went on almost all day Saturday. The worst was when trying to load a new zone - assuming I even got that far. Disconnects or absurd latency followed by more disconnects and inability to load zones.

That was yesterday. Today?

I can get to character selection just fine and even log in but my latency pretty much guarantees that my character warps around and is sometimes outright frozen in place. I've posted on the issue with zero response based on advice given here.

I texted my buddy who plays this game as much as I do at 10:40am this morning asking what his experience was like and he has been having the same problem(s) all weekend as well.

An entire weekend. Is this issue so sparse that it hasn't warranted any acknowledgement? No announcement. Nothing. The game being unplayable for a couple hours I can understand but two whole days??

Is this issue impacting anyone else?

    I'm in Australia so lag is generally something I have to live with - but - the last couple of days has been absolutely fine.

    Occasional rubber-banding in Enclave but it usually sorts itself out after a few minutes...

    I used to get the occasional rubber banding too but what's been happening the last two days has literally made the game unplayable. I either flat out cannot log in or just sit frozen.

    Absurd.

    This isn't 'occasional rubber banding'. I can't play. Period.

    was fine until about 20 mins ago. looks like major backbone outages since it's affecting not just NWO but everything.

    I can't do a damned thing without rubberbanding and massive lag. It's ridiculous.
    It was probably me.

    I was suddenly having the same issue after the game went live on the 20th-constant lag everywhere. I literally uninstalled and reinstalled NW. Also, I deleted the game prefs file (Couldn't launch using my dedicated NVidia graphics processor without that step) and then launched using that processor specifically. Voila. All the constant lag is gone. BUT...in battles, dungeons, pvp...it's still so bad that I can't even fight properly. I die 75% of the time from an inability to see what's going on real time. Still looking for a fix for this...
