Yup. I logged in yesterday after maintenance expecting it to be fixed. It was, almost. Today MOST of my attacks are missing soul shots. I'm starting to question if L2 is even worth all of this trouble.

It was confirmed that yesterday's fix did not work, although today's fix did. There are a few reports of continued lag, but it does not seem to be affecting everyone, as otherwise the forums would have already been covered with such reports. That is not the case. We'll continue to monitor the servers and the forums to see if a confirmed problem arises.
Incredible but that's true. and I leave Innova to come hear, where already fixed the SS lag 9 days ago...
To clarify and avoid possible misinformation, Innova's problem also started earlier than ours, and was different. Their fix did not work for our issue, so a new fix had to be made.
I'm still getting SS lag, to the point where none of my attacks are attributed with a soul shot. My guildies have also stated that they are experiencing SS lag. Hopefully you can get this resolved soon as it does seem to be a problem affecting the whole server. In fact earlier today my SS was working just fine, then around 2pm (EST/GMT-5) it seemed as if a "lag switch" was thrown on. It was a sudden change from no SS lag, to no SS being used at all.
Based on that, I would say it's fair to assume today's fix did work...then either something new happened or it failed after a few hours.

That people don't complain so much anymore is coz many just gave up complaining and starting to leave the server(s)
Says the guy at 3am, when nearly no one is on but shops. The SS lag isn't just there because it wants to be. It's there because the servers aren't equipped to handle 3000+ players on at the same time. I would have assumed the last maint that took over 10 hours was an upgrade for the servers, but I guess you all know what they say about assuming...
At any rate let's hope they upgrade soon, or lose about 1k players/server soon so we can finally play again. Whichever works better for them.
Every gold farmer and their grandma is creating a new character to either 1) get to lvl 20 to shout, or 2) use specters of light. If you don't believe me, go to talking island and look at a huge long line of names "ashahsadf" doing the quests, in the exact same order, because they are using a quest script.
This isn't new players, 90% of them are all gold sellers.

You look for other players to brag about SS lag? For your info, me and my whole kamaloka party (8 people) had lagging SS at about 18:00 GMT +1. We were from different countries if you happen to talk about individual lag.
But, it doesn't matter, it's not our job to start whining all the time about lag. It's somebody else's job to prevent such things or act rapidly to inform.

Fully agree with this. And apparently Sace is not well informed at all.
Lag Issues (also known as the Soulshot/Spiritshot Lag issue): This issue persists and it is our top priority to get it fixed as soon as possible.
Straight from the compensation news post. Seriously, if you guys can't even pay your community managers enough to read the announcements just go back to P2P.

I can confirm that ss lag is NOT fixed. At the time of this post, I notice that it is maybe even worse than before. Hopefully you will another way to test the result of a fix rather than judge it from the number of complaints in the forum.
I can also confirm that ss lag resolves after a certain time every day (around after 1:00 am GTM +2, or maybe even later), probably because of fewer players online.
Since daily XP gain has been greatly reduced due to ss lag, I think that you should consider extending the time of the 30-day limited period weapons and armors obtained through path of awakening. As you understand it has been impossible to cover the levels required in one month (mainly for 61-76 and 76-85) since we were unable to xp.
Even though I got mentor buff now (contrary to the naysayers in my thread) changing bewteen 2-8 shots per mob to 4-16 shots per mob has been devestating to the exp/ hour ratio.
Worse yet is the added down time. Overlords exp nonstop without any down time. It isn't the fastest... but it's the most steady exp. Full parties are better, but A, people prefer WCs and B, WCs are everywhere. So soloing it is.
Only with SS lag I can no longer drain enough to keep my MP up so I now have to sit and regen mana every few minutes.
EXP is going at a fraction of what it should be while SS is lagging and while the 5 hour runes and tweaked server settings are nice.... I honestly think we are better served with 7 day runes if the problem is going to keep going on.
Because the issue hasn't been fixed yet.
A fact that has dramatically impacted play experiance. A fact that is preventing me, as well as many others from buying Ncoins for the exp runes since it would be a waste of time.
