Since the last patch im lagging and having delay while playing Neverwinter. Are anyone else with the same problem.
By the way im from Portugal, and i never lagged in this game since they fix the first day lag in the open beta.

Hope they fix it.
As stated in an official pw answer, the latency experienced since yesterday is the product of a cuf fiber beneath the pacific ocean.
It'll be restored vert soon i guess.
Well that's good! I was afraid they started to bottleneck connections from Ukraine. Since yesterday I had lag/rubber banding and dungeon content was downloading with "bytes/s" instead of "Kb/s"...
Where can I find this official statement ?
i hope it clears up for you europeans and others that live outside canada/USA.
I'm not sure, but I think that, with graphics settings reduced, the server has less information to send the client user, for the graphics processor to output, so you may have a capable pc, but in fact, if the server is slow, then your pc is asking for more information that it can give you, with the same fps, which is, I admit, BS, however, this is my theory, as I was having lag issues on a computer I bought recently for 80 dollars, I'm not going to post my specs, but lets just say duo core 2.4, geforce 9600, 4gb ddr2, p5ql mobo, 450w psu, no fans... Not my first choice but I have other things to focus on than gaming, like my boat. So anyways, being a tech, I was able to tweak the settings on this computer to the point of it running games it shouldn't, including games that are more demanding, graphically than Neverwinter, however when I started playing NW a couple weeks ago and noticed the intense lag in Protectors Enclave, I naturally assumed that it was the fact that I bought a throw-away PC from a friend just to get by for now. Because of this, I tried down-scaling all graphics settings, including in the nvidia control panel, even wiping most windows services, as the game was taking 90% of my cpu and 75% of my ram, and had the graphics set so low that it looked like quake 2 on medium settings, and still lag. At this point I was optimistic, because it meant to me that maybe it wasn't a system issue, so when I followed a guide on this forum which basically told me to turn of "On demand patching", I came back into the game after a 2gb patch (no background patching anymore), and found there to be no lag, I cranked the graphics up to medium, still no lag. It was great.
This is on contrast of my above theory of graphics settings to high to handle server bytes, however, it still may have some truth, as today while playing I noticed a lot of lag again.
Now, I am in the middle of the new 150mb patch process this evening and will see if it's better after that, but I doubt it because I'm getting about 100kb/s off the patch server, and if the patch server is a reflection of the game server I play on, then the NW servers in general are problematic.
regarding this cuff fiber on the ocean floor, as interesting as it sounds, I am not going to believe a word of it until I find an official statement on that. May be true though, in which case, to the commenter above who assumed it would be fixed soon, I for one, being a boat owner, really doubt that anyone has the money to just have a ship go out in the ocean, dive down to the bottom and fix a fiber optic cable, willie nillie. That's crazy. Who's paying for this kind of service call? How would they know where this problem is? The ocean is a big place man. Trust me. NW wouldn't own their own fiber cables obviously, this is referring to a fiber line that connects countries I assume, so this would be a high level tech issue, and for the eta on a fix, you would probably have to find out from the country's government that's in charge of fixing it.
Either way, I will play tonight on mindslayer because I love this game!
A very quick internet search on downed fibre cables, only shows one link (affecting Pakistan) on 28th of March. Presumably there would be SOME information on downed cables, as they don't only affect PW.
That, for me anyway, this slideshow-lag, (in dungeons) appeared only after their last update and that last night I was reading a post (by PW) from 17th May, now untraceable by forum search, (edit...found it:- http://nw-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?163651-In-game-issues-Lag-rubber-banding-Updates-here/page29 ...still not fixed though, but I guess at a mere 29 pages it's not a major concern for PW) saying it had something to do with their firewall (If I recall well), makes me...<sniff sniff>..."Is that a rat?"
WoW runs like buttah, but would rather be playing Neverwinter
same here 150-200 ping then bam ... 2000 ping ... then again 150-200 then bam .. server not responding ...
now is this the game you want to spend money on o_O ?!!
As krip fela gave some info about this it's working fine when US sleep and EU play or other way around but when at certain point EU and US players get all online servers just melt down... but hey this problem can be easy fixed but spending cash ... what they don't plan to do atm i gues .... lame ...
