didnt feel like fixing lag/freeze during patch?

General Discussion Started Last reply 15 posts
most everyone i talk to is getting this past few days.... any chance of getting it fixed?
A bunch of US and Canada based players from my clan complained about this...

Although I, from Brazil, haven't felt any problem...

I am from US, and me and my clan/friends have not felt any lag.
You know what this Lag means?

although it could also be due to Hurricane aftermath, i believe it's the oher thing i was referring to in my initial question...

PTS is on its way!
this lag always happens when it's PTS time.
man, i hate it to the core, but it brings new fun things.

Why would PTS have to do with main server? Aren't they separated computers and internet links?

i think FidgitTheClown is right
Bartz and PTS always shared hardware so bartz always lagged when they were working on the PTS. I am not sure if Chronos is using the same hardware but I would assume so as Bartz was always located onsite of NCSoft.

Sace already stated that Chronos is located in Dallas, TX. NC Soft West is based at Seattle, WA.

I'm guessing PTS Bartz is near NC Soft, in Seattle, but I've not got that info, I'm basing this on what you said that Bartz and PTS shared hardware...

NCSoft used to be based in Texas where Bartz was located. NCSoft has recently moved its headquarters to Seattle. Bartz location did not move with them, nor did the PTS. Nor did Chronos.

Oh, I see...

Well, so maybe thats true...

Still many people had no lag so far...

GoD had already been translated into Chinese. I hope NCNA is just finalising and testing the PTS at the moment...
yes not everyone gets it not even all my open accounts get it, but multiple people on different ends of the US and even in dif countrys all get lag at the same time and separate times. 3 ppl in a group w/ all have a 30 second feeze meanwhile my 2box is running perfectly.
i would say 60% of people i know/have talked to have been experiencing this.
All servers (not only Bartz) experienced lag when PTS was tested from NC. Maybe it had to do with the total bandwidth? No idea really. Fact is that PTS is probably closer to release.
It's all related to the quality of the provider.
Good provider with interconnects at nonsaturated levels with almost everyone else -> nobody has network issues, well except ppl that saturate it at their end, bad (cheap) provider connected with only a few or only one (not major) backbone, or not even that directly -> delays for the packets, freezes and disconnects when the route changes (frequently).
For example, many ppl in Germany had problems with the EU server a few weeks back, some couldnt even login at all for weeks, some in UK had DC every few minutes, I had a few days freezes for up to a minute coming and going, all seems to be sorted now at least in this part of the world.

Yeah Lag was all gone all weekend for me.
