Just a general survey, really.

On Khyber yesterday (playing from the UK), I had crippling stutter lag pretty much everywhere, pretty much constantly. Tried an elite short man DQ and effectively piked because spells were landing sometimes, maybe, after 10 seconds. Constant rubberbanding on the airship, House Cannith and the Marketplace, when I gave up playing in disgust and thought I could at least get some bank admin and deconning done. Bank was taking up to a minute to work (I just carried on working and tabbed in and out).

Regularly running up to 30 seconds latency. Completely unplayable. I had a sad This ran from about 3pm UK time to 5 pm UK (so 10 - 12 EST).

Anyone else? I'd never had this level of lag issue before, even when in Japan. Mostly I don't suffer lag so I don't think it's a system problem my end.

Do we think it's going to go away now people have stopped with the exploit? I'm cynical, as lag was never this bad for me when everyone their dog and their cat was selling dowsing rods.

I'm really concerned this is the challenges and this is basically what we are stuck with. I mainly play DDO to play with friends these days,

It's kind of hard for me to have an accurate estimate as I have just recently TR'd and haven't run anything that usually has a little lag (See: The Shroud). But even running around and doing lowby quests I've noticed an increase, even after the hotfix yesterday. Not horrid, but noticeable.

I don't see much lag morning-evening (note: morning is ~12-1 PM for me  ) euro times, but after midnight or so it starts to kick in. Stupid yanks it's all their fault

Last night was good for me.  I assume the server not having to compute millions of chests per a second freed up some cycles.

I couldn't even bloody cast a loot kitty last night

Pretty bad on the G-spot.

Stunning blows and healing curses not proccing for 3 to 5 seconds. You would hear the bell and the mob would run away and then stop and be stunned.

I was tanking Steelthorn (Power Play) on hard on my monk and the cleric was bitchin' about heals not going off, then I get 3 in a row.

Hopefully the code will settle out in a few more days and it will be bearable again.

The DQ2 wasn't bad but that Xorian Cipher run was horrible, as bad as our Shroud lag during drunken raids.

Frankly, the game just ain't been no fun lately.

Lag wasn't too bad but I did start losing some bolts fired on my arti at one point.  It was a short window of about a minute or two last night on Sarlona about 1am or so.  Other than that just fine.

Yeah, this.    I don't think I'll be playing much until it sounds like this has been fixed.  I mean, more people means more of this problem, if nothing else.  And it really just isn't terribly fun to play the 'omg, when does the lag train show up woo woo?' game. 

I hate it, because I'm a junkie, but it is what it is.  It's just not really a playable game right now.

I think I love both of those people at the shop.  hahaha.  The whistles go WOOOOOOOOOO

My lag wasn't bad recently until someone summoned a Ghaele.

Had the game just flat out lock on me a few times recently, on top of the typical delayed action. And my schedules all over the map, so it's not a peak-time issue, either.

Had very bad lag the day of U12.  Haven't had too much in the past couple days though.
