Hi, I'm playing on Chronos (or trying to anyway) Been having really bad lag the last few days. Just wondering if anyone else is having problems too?
i do right now. 5 second delay with a 150k line, one of the fastest in the EU. Tested it on different freeshards. Problem belongs to the official servers by NC soft. Just like the disconnects all the time. Yesterday my Forum, Homepage, Updater and the game itleft didnt worked, while the rest of the internet did. They should finally move theyr ***** and tell us whats happening atm. Need 2% right now, got runes running and im not able to play
I know myself and some clannies had terrible lag tonight, like 5-10 second delays, and last weekend other people suffered from it. If you're experiencing it tonight please post your location, and also note if you were hit with it last weekend (I was not). I'm East Coast US.
Yea it's pretty bad lol, hit me during an Oly match, luckily for me it wasn't a big deal to lose the match. Lf more ppl to post, I know you're out there, so we can get NCSoft to look into on a larger level.
I've been experiencing hellish lag here on the West Coast USA. At one point the game was all but unplayable. I decided to soe to town to OE my Ipos before logging for the day. Mistake. The game just froze for what felt like a minute. It was pure agony having to wait so long to see if it succeeded or failed.
Me and 2 clannie had while going SOD. I was filled with lag at swamp last night.
It did that in Fairy settlement a little today.

lol I OE'd my blessed TW gloves after I gave up on the lag, it was agony waiting. It succeeded to +4 yay!
This network problem makes it hard for my constant party and I to spend 150-200 bucks per month per person on this game.
Not sure if this argument is still valid in a game F2P since months ago. Its not like someone will have a contract with NCsoft by buying some consumables/fashion items in its ingame store or website, simply because, while you can, you'rent really obliged to. /offtopic.
Anyway, the ingame seconds freezes are really painful for certains classes, such healer/feohs.

Think about this, why would I spend $ on limited time items such as XP runes when I cant play the game due to network problems.
Every day the lag is bad enough to not let us play is a day we dont buy runes, this affects the amount of money we spend on this game for the month.
Ongoing since Wednesday's maintenance. Early in the day is better, but after ~8pm(EDT) the game becomes unplayable. The first 4 days of the 7 day runes that were opened after Wednesday's maintenance have been such a waste.
I was in party with a guy with almost another extreme on earth (geolocation talking) and got exactly same issue at same time :mad: this is not net problems is the server !
I had crazy lag spikes yesterday and today during kartia/soa/harnak half of my cp had it we couldnt click for like 20 seconds unplayable. We are from the East Coast USA, and 1 player is from Brazil. So its not just coincidence
I want replacement xp runes. My constant party is no longer until this lag gets fixed. Refunds incoming if nothing gets done. Game is currently unplayable for many of my friends and I.
Maybe when this is fixed it could be made up to us with... free augments?
At a minimum. People are using the 100% and 200% runes that were just taken out of the store, wasting their time on them and can't just buy new ones when this is better. Resetting the timers on runes popped after Wednesday's maintenance would be far more appropriate, or refunding the ncoin outright.
Ive lost more in deaths from this lag and am at negative xp after the xp runes. I think there should be some sort of compensation especially to those of us who have spent money on nc coin to purchase and were unable to use
Anybody else have some lag issues since that date? I play from Poland and in the main server time [20-24] i feel badly lags. They don't appear in the morning and in the night, exept main server time. I just wonder its only me cuz my provider did smth or there are more ppl feeling those lags also.
Hello, im playing Chrono and i cant Move... my vita potions u.u why ncsoft ?
... is impossible play ATm.:mad:
i just play another game like lol and Hon and my latency is normal, so isnt my fault, the server is broken or something? ppl complain all the time on kartia, always u can c Piles of corpses near kartia research lol:D
Same here in Luxembourg, as well as clannies from France, Belgium, Poland, UK.
Trying to tracert our way to lineage2.com (assuming game servers are in the same location as web server) we noticed a huge spike when arriving at last node before lineage2.com (test from belgian clanny)
IP address was 4.69.145.75 who resolves to ae-2-70.edge2.Dallas1.Level3.net
Level3 website tells us how reliable they are... i think we need more test to locate where the problem happens, but i have to wait for lags to come back (not that i hope for it).
So far, my tracert showed no sign of this IP, dunno if it can be related to my lack of lag but i will keep an eye on it ^^
[Edit : yep, that'd mean game server are not the cause :p]
i've same lag everyday, not whole day but it usually start at 1am (gmt+1) or something like this, rarely i got in afternoon. i got various random pts with this lag and someone had the same , others no, and not even in europe like me. so idk. but anyway ty to this lag i made my pts die in every instance xD i get like 10 sec delay and when game come back BOOM half pt dead.
Is it possible that Isaac has caused some damage that needs repaired?
It would be nice if we could at least get a confirmation that there is indeed a problem somewhere.

maybe you are right i test with other isp and use other tech (adsl) and work better but is low bandwith so i dont even try on play with that, just for test.
You people have no clue at all what's going on do you?
NCsoft is currently unable to keep their "promise" to players who bought GW2. Which is resulting in them banning a mass of people on GW2 for even the slightest EULA infraction to lower the numbers down; still they can't lower the number enough so they're siphoning Bandwith from L2/Aion and putting it towards GW2 so their GW2 servers remain stable.
Hell, who cares about L2 anymore; NCWest showing us they obviously don't.

Well then maybe they should start doing the same for L2. the bots are all the rage
all my friends have lag ... and 50% of server i think last 2 days i didnt have lag but today i have it too lag is growing :) now maybe 80% have lag...
make something about this
Didn't think I had to, figured people had some common sense guess I was wrong. :cool:
There would be 1 server, if there where no bots
Mind reading is not one of my God given talents. I probably have far more sense than you,but that's assuming and you know what they say when you assume. Makes an A** out of you and me.
And no there would not be one server and what would it matter,bots aren't real players anyways so might as well.
Isn't about lag. The server have connection problems because loose packets. Look...everything i ping, work perfect but if i ping lineage2.com i get next result:
This lag started a week ago for most people i know. I don't mind the server having some issues now and then, but when people spent money on runes, its pretty BS. You should be able to quickly recognize when your servers are having issues and also reset people's runes when they are affected.
Things like that have happened in the past (AFAIK 2-3 times from 2006 I started). NC Soft never acknowledged them (being their fault I mean). Usually it gets attributed to one of the providers "in-between" NC servers and players. It took 1-2 weeks to get fixed in the past. I guess something similar will go down this time as well...
i am too.. im in shillen too so laaaagy when im killing a mobs my character is not moving but the mobs die.. haha funny right but its true!!
i tried in bartz the only problem is my character have been stack in a single place and cant move!! 1st im stack in a rock but i used a scroll of escape and i escape the 2nd and 3rd are worst i been stack in the middle of the field the 2nd is in gludio the 3rd time is in the ant nest haha
Same lag at South America in Chile, many of our clan members got a lot of lag this last days in Shilen Server, many of them was disconnected continuosly in different instances too. Someones plays without lag, but other ones get full lag just in the game. Let´s hope this lag dissapears as soon as possible, because of it is so hard to play in this way.

I picked up that he was talking about the last server "fix". With as often as I see you post on these forums I would have figured that you possess much better reading comprehension than what you're displaying, especially if you've been around since 2005. Don't judge a book by it's cover I guess ¯\(ツ)/¯
p.s. still lagging also, which makes all of last weekend and this weekend. didn't seem too bad during the week, at least from what I can remember.
all my friends have lag and got disconnect constantly last 4 days but somehow i dont have lag at all...all from same country but with different inet providers

It's not a crime to misread something. It happens. I'm willing to bet you've done it too.
I have the same problem,which is happening expecially on siege week-end,but now it keeps continuing from days to days randomly.What i basically get is a good lag with 2-4 seconds delays on actions,which become much more during siege.And this problem is going on since more than 2 weeks now.I'm happy to see that it's not only mt problem but others got it also...please try to find a solution for this =.=
Otherwise, I got heavy lag last few days too. Tested if it might be on my side, perhaps graphic problems or general problems with my ISP, but it works perfectly with some other games on EU servers with any kind of graphic settings.
So my guess would be that it has something to do with cross-Atlantic connection or perhaps with L2 servers/connection. If US players have no issues then it should be cross-Atlantic connection problem.
I finally get a 3 day weekend with nothing to do, and 2 out of 3 of those days the lag is so horrendous that the game is unplayable.
NCSoft needs to seriously reconsider how the timer works on some runes, because of the lag and disconnects, which are not the player's fault. It's like buying a gallon of milk, but having it expire before you even get it out of the market.
Please consider a solution for each of the above points.
Disappointing service NC !
Hope you all had a great time Friday at PAX cause in the meantime lag is driving your customers away.
By the time you get back to office half of the population will have left.
Lets just hope Wednesday maintenance fixes the lag problem.
Havent played in 2 months because the lag got so bad. I can play other MMO's that are more graphically demanding with no problem, but it seems that the lag in this game is just getting worse and worse.

+++1 i said same as this poster 5 days ago when i started having the horrible gamebreaking lag in lineage 2 on the shillen server.... they are babysitting guild wars 2 players right now.... i played guild wars also up untill 7 days before guild wars 2 started... ever since the beta testing began for guild wars 2 lag in guild wars was horrible.... now listen log-in servers for guild wars, lineage 2, Aion, and now also guild wars 2 are SHARED. of course the games dont run on the same servers but the log in servers for all listed above games are shared... call nc soft or arena net they will willingly tell you this.... they say it's not an issue... when we all can see it is... also arena net does not own servers for gw1 or gw2 they piggy back on a nc soft servers.... they basically rent server space from nc soft to run gw1 and now gw2. and when ya have who knows millions between all games trying to log -in this is what happens.. no matter what this is horrible almost gamebreaking lag... they need to push a patch or maintenance asap after the labor day weekend period :D
In my case,lag striked me and some of my party members tonight,lasted less than 1 hour thank god.Others in clan were complaining about been unable to do anything for hours,
ncshoft has to fix it and fast.

Playing in EU on a EU server, still got 10 second lagdelays
ncsoft should give us some compensasion..
something like 7 days rune of 200% for this..
i am using that this week and couldnt use that effeciently..
lagged out so many times cant enjoy the game much now..
Yes, no question this is an NCwest problem! You know I mostly defend them everytime, but right now yes, the users has maximally right.
The problem appeared only at the NCwest and only the NCwest able to solve it.
I'm until lucky good if until I had totally 10 mins lag.
But many of my friend, clan mates and players from the server has huge issues.
Also now, that many people bought the Rune of XP 200% or 100% what had high prices, no question the NCwest must to give everyone compensation who had lag issues
FYI I have merged together various threads about the same topic of lag that begin in the past few days. The support team is already looking into this issue as we have received player reports over the weekend. If we can determine the cause of the issue we will let you know.
Please remember that the issue might not be on the NCsoft side, but rather at a popular connection point between players' computers and the NCsoft network, and that NCsoft does not own the internet.

Most interesting is that i had these issues with both aion and L2 on NCwest servers, my own net was fine with anything else.

Lags are strange - dissipate of place or activities sometimes 5-7 seconds freezes, then 10 min without lags.
Apart of lags (observed at Naia since 5-6 days) I have observed some strange Server side actions.
Last most amazing - 7ppl party at PoD after 30 min got 4 EAR drooped, and had NO SINGLE cannon item.
Hope maintenance fix it.
P.S. Location Europe but apart last week, in past no special lags observed.

When people from this many countries post about lag, reason would lead me to believe that the servers are probably the common connection point of which you speak...
I use lowerping and others in clan that are laging for more time than me use lowerping too,or battleping or nothing at all,some play from same country like me,others from other countys if battleping or lowerping or some countrys server was the guildy,only those people would expirience that.Issue started some days ago with the disconnects we had every few minutes,then it was ok for 2-3 days and now the lag came.
For all that are using BattlePing just fyi there is a big problem with BP's latest update so for some ppl lags/dcs might not be NCWest's fault
i played in a party with guys from BR,turkey,greece and myself from germany.
we all were suffering lags, no1 was using any ping progs. We xped for around 1hr in gf in all peace before it started to lag. After getting dced due to lags i started up the trial of Lowerping to check if it helps, which it didnt at all. So i dont think its due to some popular internet connection point we all are connected to at the same time, but more because of the servers of NcSoft in a status above their limits. Correct me if im wrong but might it be due to the bandwith usage of GW2 which might impact L2-servers? Tons of players downloading the 20gb clients of GW2 might do something.
I believe this is not problem of automated programs, yesterday I join a group with hero, they are boting [or no, only they clanie with their bots]and I don't see lag. I can't share the movie because NC defense the bots. Top clans, top bots.
Woops back to topic... no lags in Brazil

While my lags were gone after 4 days after they started(on both AION and L2), i do not use any sort of conection boosters and known many with same issue that don't use. On League of legends and sword2 i never had these lags.
Fact is these lags are random and are not conected to any sort of aditional program. You should proove something before you spill out fake trash.
From 30.08 to the 4.09 got terrible lags on major server time (Naia). Everything work fine in the morning and at night. I live in Poland, but i asked few friends and they didnt felt any lag those days.

All of us understand that NCSoft does not own the Internet. I am sad to say that I am among the people out there that baught a 7 day 200% xp rune that cost 50$ in NCoin. I also spent 30$ plus in vitality items for the last 7 days to be used. I basically had the same laggy issues as all the people listed in this thread. Therefore I got poor return on the time sensitive Item I purchased because of this I only had 2 days of normal play and 5 days of lagg where I couldnt play the game.
The answer "NCsoft does not own the internet" you could imagine is music to my ears. =( So in which business model does this type of statement fit? Once again NCsoft is consolidating servers and allowing people to transfer to more populated servers. The decline of players is on the rise once again in under a year of going free to play. Even though NCsoft may be making more $$$'s if there is a decline in player growth it deosn't ensure security of the customers of NCoin. With no security means that one day this old game will eventually be gone.
I hope it stays around for a lot longer. I don't mean to stir controversy but, unfortunately it might. I just hope NCsoft will take measures to make their customers want to stay and spend loads of money on NCoin and make there customers happy so that our community grows instead of declining or becoming stagnent.
