If you are in Europe and you notice lag (besides what is normal due to the network issues that the update later today addresses), something you can try is this: In the launcher, go into the options and change the proxy from "none" to "EU". This resolved the latency issues I had when the headstart began, and it's been super ever since.

It may not fix your lag, but it is worth trying. :)

    In the Launcher, on the top left, there's some links. There should be an "options" link. Click it and it'll open a little options window, the Proxy drop down is in there.

    WHAT!?

    180 ping and you cry ?. Are you stupid or something ? 180 in a mmo is just fine at this server load.
    Come back crying when you begin to have 500-1000 then you lagg. You have zero lagg at 180.....

    Yeah, it's not good :( PWE should've made this more clear for those in Europe.

    In an action MMO, where dodging/blocking and/or moving about is required, 180 ping is the difference between dodging and dying. If this was a point-click MMO, I would be saying the same as you...

    I had a similar problem in Champions Online that was supposed to be fixed with switching the proxy, unfortunately, it did not work in addition to a myriad of other trouble shooting efforts.Anyways after some heavy testing, I suspected that my ISP was traffic shaping. Told them about the issue with Champions Online and I guess it was fixed because I never saw the problem again afterwards.

    After having just tried this myself, I couldn't even connect to the character select screen. Reverted it to using no proxy and I am able to play the queue bouncing number game again. I like to take a shot every time the number shoots up instead of going down. While fun at first, I fear I might die before the maintenance later on.

    Sadly I'm on the Jager at the moment, I've already drunk all of the Sambucca. Though I feel if I finish this bottle of Jager I may actually throw up, not good when you think it's only just gone 10:30am here

    In Germany we are used to play online games with pings of 20ms - maximum 80ms , 180ms is not acceptable. Word.

    The servers are on the West Coast. I get sub-200ms ping, and it really does not matter in this game. It is an action RPG, but there are delays anyway (getting rooted when you perform a skill, etc.). It's honestly not an issue. Now, if it were a shooter ...

    Sorry it's not working for everyone. :( Changing the proxy to EU made a major difference for me.

    I got rid of the lag issues by switching my server to Beholder. No lag at all and around the 20-30ping.

    I'd be more than happy with 180ms, last night i had a ping bouncing between 1-2k. I regularly received the red text message at the top of the screen telling me my game hadn't updated for 6+seconds.

    If you happen to have 200ms or less i'd count yourself lucky.

    Most useful tip EVER!
    Thx a bunch. Wish there was a way to tip you some AD for this :cool:
