ZERO need to go into a long rant.

Simply put, you have a massive player base and a massive player base that spends a TON of money as per this game. The lag in the dungeons is ridiculous. Player animations with zero affect, rubber banding constantly, wipes. I can go on and on but, there's zero need. It needs to be addressed immediately.

Shut the game down for a day if need be, or for however long it takes. Please respect and take care of your customers and address this please.

Thank you

+1!!!!! We spend well enough money for the game to shut down and fix the servers with minimal loss to their pockets...

Its absurd.

Add on the chain server disconnects and it's a party

Pretty unreal in most 5 man dingeons from my experience

Open world content (servers) seem mostly unaffected but their 'raid' segment is suffering for sure. The new content is challenging enough but with the rubber banding and all out stoppages, its getting unplayable in many runs.

I'm sure they are aware, and working on it, but I have been just working on the campaigns until it gets better.

Lostmauth is still the hardest boss in the game, and not even for the actual difficulty of the fight either..but for the insane amount of lag to the point where you can't see fireballs,falling rocks, and the lava until it's too late.

to many times I've frozen for several seconds only to come back and be 50 feet away in the gold lava..

drexci · September 2015

The connection's in t'1 and t'2 are a joke and I'd say count for most deaths and wipes. so many times you try to dodge a aoe only to be rubberbanded back into it and die.

stercesderised · September 2015

Agree with this thread. The rubber banding is terrible. spent over an hour on valindra, wiping at same part (the second interval w/ waves of lightning and spectres), due to it. Malabogs, same thing.

Same goes with sharandar, and general gameplay. Latency has been wayyyyy up in general, even when a ddos arrack is NOT in progress.

Plz address the latency/lag/rubber banding.......

thefiresidecat · September 2015

Agreed with everything said here. The lag makes it impossible

fastandfrivolous · September 2015

Wonder if they could do something like their competitors do and let you disable certain visual effects to allow for low quality connections? I had played that other MMO on Low-res settings and got a major framerate boost on some highly populated areas. I would gladly sacrifice a little sparkle or shimmer in a tough area if it meant snappier server response.

jikhan · September 2015

@fastandfrivolous It's not an issue with graphics so far as I can tell, and it's definitely not my connection. But I've yet to go into a T2 or any new dungeon (oddly skirmishes seem unaffected, it's just the dungeons) and NOT experience awful rubberbanding.

It happens whether you're fighting or not and no amount of waiting or resetting will fix it. It's terrible and absolutely something that needs to be fixed. I can slog through the trash and the first two bosses keeping my party up despite the lag but on the end bosses it's just impossible to succeed when you get bounced right back into four red areas all laid on top of one another.

randomdigits · September 2015

At certain times of the day it affects open world too - e.g. it's a pain to do daily tasks in Dwarven Valley in the morning when folks are running HEs nearby.

codher0 · September 2015

Every day I play pvp, and everyday once or twice the game will crash and when I come back I won't be put back in the game and I have a 30 min leaver penalty! I hope this does not ultimately get me banned

blinxon · September 2015

No tracert log? Only claims? Ok.
Sry...but i can play NW all the time without any lags...no matter where. All t1/t2 dungoens. No problem at all.

well same here, no lags or whatsoever. Sometimes it gets slow when fighting like 30 adds at once but well thats all "lag" I´m experiencing at the moment.

Only had serious issues when the ddos attacks took place last month iirc but other than that, no problems.

kriptical1 · September 2015

Hmm.
It's less traditional lag and more rubberbanding server connect issues. As I type this in dread Spire watching the server not responding text repeat itself every couple of feet I move.

snoborder101 · September 2015

It was happening a lot last night in dungeons and IWD. My connection on pc is 85/85mbps 8ms 0 packet loss. On xbox it's 84/83 mbps 60ms 0 packet loss.

It seems to be something server side. I really hope the devs are taking a hard look at this. I know of multiple people who rage quit last night due to the lag.

I'm a big pvp'er, but most people, myself included, want to run dungeons. If the dungeons are unplayable, then people will stop playing. I don't want that. The community doesn't want that. Please take a serious look into this problem. Please acknowledge that you are looking into this.

You lie like a Persian rug

worriedmammal8 · September 2015

Yeah, I have a problem anytime I play with rubberbanding especially the faster u move through an area. I don't get disconnected very often but, the lag is real. It's a constant struggle to fight when hits take 5 seconds to register or it looks like I used a skill but, due to lag I have to press three or four times to get them to go off. Must be something with how servers for changed with mod6 for the worse. I hope you guys are working on it, love this game but, it's impossible to play sometime.

mercbenz360 · September 2015

It is completely broken right now. Everyone in the group sees it. Randoms that come in complain of the lag. People talk about it in guild, on reddit, you see it during people's steams, etc. I don't see why a tracenet would be needed, this happens in no other game. Not Netflix, MLBtv, Tony Hawk, COD, etc etc. Cragmire is fine, Malabogs is broken. ELOL is busted 60% of the time.

zacoria1405 · October 2015

The lag and rubber banding is awful and dungeons are unplayable a lot of the time because of it. We've had a few guild members quit the game completely because of it and I'm pretty sure more will follow.

snoborder101 · October 2015

I'm supposed to be streaming tomorrow, but if it is like it is tonight, I simply won't be able to.

Let me ask this, for those of you with the almost nonstop rubberbanding as of late, do you have Verizon fios? I do.

So you confirmed that TCP packets reach their CDN servers with low latency.
How does that relates to slow responses from the actual game servers to game actions?

snoborder101 said:

I don't.

snoborder101 · October 2015

Low latency minus the timeouts, yes.

I tried changing settings in my router to no avail. Everything else is running fine(games, netflix, tests). Some of my friends tonight were claiming they weren't getting any rubberbanding, but I've been getting it all night. In fact, tonight has been on par for the ddos attacks the other week.

Verizon fios here too. Rubber banding / stalling was really bad last night, while friends didn't have an issue, same experience as you. Interesting b/c I'm from same part of country as you according to your trace log.

The lag in T2's is absurd. This really needs to be sorted out arc.
