what is it about the dread ring zone that makes it so laggy is a few others that get laggy from time to time but dread ring is a nightmare I dread doing my dailies there because the lag in that zone is so bad. yesterday I got the quests left the base camp made it to the second camp to be rubber banded clear back to base camp that's nearly half way across the zone.

and its not at certain times its all the time that that zone is realy bad maybe they could move the zone to different part of the server because seems what ever server that zone is hosted on is over taxed or there is something wrong with the zone itself.

    I always move to an instance with fewer players whenever I have to run dread ring. Seems to help with the lag. Kind of stupid since anything over 5 players and I'm bouncing all over the place.

    its weird, every interaction there you have to sit for 20 seconds or so to do it. Even to leave the damn place.

    Now you mention it, I have the same problem in DR

    Takes me 2 minuttes to enter Dread Ring .... cause thats how long you have to wait before you can't switch to another instance. The default instance (often #1) is always unplayable.

    Me and a guild mate have been running DR again on some new alts.. and we have the same problem. Its all over the place.. with the exception of the Dread Spire, Death Forge and Phantasmal Fortress... everything in the zone is on a delay.

    It would not surprise me honestly.

    The dungeons (spire, forge, fortress) are no exception to the lag. I was just in a 3-man party in the forge today and we got a massive lag spike during the boss just as it spawned minions. Full party wipe while we were all basically frozen in place. I ran the spire solo yesterday and also had noticeable lag spikes. Not as bad as the forge thing just now, but still obvious. And it's not limited to the dread ring and sub-zones, either, as I get noticeable and frequent lag spikes in Sharandar, as well. It's much worse in the dread ring, but basically it seems that all of the starter end-game content is nigh unplayable at times. I believe I've heard complaints about this in Icewind Dale, too, but I've not spent much time there as I'm not really geared for that yet. So maybe it's more like "all level 70 content has intense lag issues". Apparently emanating from the Dread Ring. Darn Thayans! When do we get the quest to quash the Zulkir that's casting Mass Global Lag?

    EDIT: I see a notice now that would suggest my Forge experience was a server issue that messed with everyone. That wouldn't explain why my solo spire was also showing signs of lag all the way through, though.
