Rubberbanding killing DD-events

I hope with the official release coming up in the nearest future that you have worked on optimazing your servers significantly. Right now during the DD-events there is "rubberband" slow-reaction/spikes of up to a couple of seconds, which really makes reactionary and action combat feel extremely clunky and frankly when you dodge something and get hit like 2 seconds later you get very frustrated...

This is killing endgame for me right now.

    I thought this was normal. When we played DnD many moons ago, our DM would roll for rubberbanding. "You rolled a 2 on the rubberbanding check, move back 6 feet and negate your last action as it is now out of range"

    Repeatedly getting hit by stuff that I thought I dodged is driving me insane. It's been getting worse, especially since yesterday.:(

    Crappy server optimization is crappy.
    You have no idea how fun is to rubberband in CN as cleric...

    That always happens , at least for me, I only see it being far more painful during boss fights (dungeon or not).
    What i particularly hate is dodging away from a red zone, being what looks like 4 or 5 in game meter from the red, and the mob JUMP into the red to make its attack.... And i get damaged. Like for example werewolf jump attack.

    This and Chartilifax are *crosses fingers* best buds.

    I'm never going to be able to finish that dungeon!

    There has been a recent issue between the Cryptic Servers and a routing provider known as Savvis.
    If you're experiencing rubberbanding within the last couple of days which you hadn't before there may be a chance that it has to do with this issue.

    In the mean time most rubberbanding at this point in time is for oddball reasons. The servers themselves are completely stable.

    If you're experiencing rubberbanding the best thing you can do is post it in the bug reports section with information about your computer system, settings, and ISP. Keeping quiet or not supplying information for the developers to compare will not get the issues solved.

    The current performance problems are mainly, if not completely, case-by-case issues rather than universally experienced. :)

    After I had a ticket open for more than 3 weeks with a relatively easy problem, only to get it closed with an auto-mated response I'm done trying to help "fix" this game.

    Additionally stop kidding yourself, the issues are EXTREMELY universal and always happen at peak hours, especially during DD-events, trying to say that it is PC or ISP related is a gigantic joke.

    I've died a lot (more) the past few days due to rubberbanding on my Rogue. It seems that I rubberband the most when trying to roll out of a red circle / cone on the ground. There is like some sort of invisible wall that won't allow you to roll out of the red sometimes.

    CN as Cleric is easy. Rubberbanding doesn't affect Cleric nearly as much as it does a Rogue. I play both classes.
