More unplayable siege lag and crashes? Really?

I have no idea if it was just our guild, our server, or all the north american servers, but siege tonight was the worst I've seen since the debacle early this year. I am giving a generous estimate of 20 minutes I was in siege playing between crashes, and the majority of my guild had the same problem. I know the whole 'siege is in beta' excuses, but if that was really TRUE, siege would be actually improving, even if in small increments. I dare ANYONE to tell me that they have noticed any improvements...go on, tell me. I dare you.

There was no appreciable lag or extreme crashing today. Nor was the world chat filled with angry vitriol that happens when such problem occurs and is widespread. We did have a few disconnects more than usual; not statistically significant more.

Back when siege was a lot less stable than it is now, there was a definite pattern. We had nights when disconnects were left and right and lag was horrible and it affected both guilds. But, most of the time it was just two of us.

While I don't know the architecture of siege servers, the leading theory was that there were some problematic siege "slots" or perhaps siege servers serving particular siege. You got the bad slot/server and things were bad. You got the good one and things were fine.

If that is the case, they plugged up the worst ones a while ago. While you can still draw a bad slot, the disparity between bad and good is a lot smaller.

And, yes, I noticed quite a few improvement in siege.

Oh, and people who have more than 3 classes are clinically insane.
