Runes of Magic US / AU

SW just isnt fun anymore. Its been 2 years, get your crap right.

Lag in SW is just too much, it's impossible to play. I'm not wasting another dollar on this game, time to move on.

Agreed......Fix the Game, the lag is worse than it has been in a long time in siege. I was at least 30secs behind everyone and that makes Siege rather pointless. Might aswell just roof camp and hope for the best.

I'm not putting any money into this game when the one thing I look forward to is more trouble than it's worth.

i think we are all missing a detail. the server move was also the day of the blackout. wich was followed by the attack by anonomous hack group wich shut down fbi,doj other sites. check ur antivirus?

Now that would be really funny if the siege lag was because the server is ddos attacking the fbi & doj

Okay, so my photoshop skillz aren't the greatest...obviously.

For giggles only!

hmmm the SW servers have been zombied, i think that's the term... but when a machine's been hijacked as a piece of a cluster from a remote source to add it's resources to another purpose than intended.

SW is futile, your diamonds will be assimilated.

Can you just not STFU and give him pieces of information he actually needs?

Rude much? I'm not even sure why you opened an account to post on the US forums since you have stated you don't play the US servers.

As to the topic of the thread all we do is say that it's lag, it starts at the 15-20 mark and gets worse until siege ends. Some are more tech savy than others so they can give more detail but most people will just say lag because that is all they can say. So yes that is the only info he can provide whether he needs it or not.

I love that the server move, instead of making things better, made things so much worse.

There is not much info we can give them anymore. We told them the problem, some of us gave them the tracking IP.

I relog before sw and still get lag, if i don't relog still get lag. Some days i don't get lag. When the lag starts it is a 1-3 sec delay at first, and as time passes the delay gets longer and longer. Can go up to being 15 mins delay. (i have tested it) Hit a buff skill and turned on a timer to see how long it takes.

The lag seems to only be for the players screen. I person who is not laging sees everything you do when you press the button.

We had a herald with a 5 min+ delay but when he hits fearless everyone who is not laggy gets it as soon as he does but the laggy people have to wait for the amount of time delay they have.

What more info can i give.

I was lagging from the get-go as soon as sw started. Lag as in all my skills were delayed, people were standing in 1 spot, then they fast forwarded to another position. At first there was a 1-5 second delay between each of my casts (horrible when you're a healer and not sure if your heals are going through). At one point it felt seemed like all of Notorious were pew pewing my sorry self, so I just slammed my "oh crap!" skills till my screen showed I finally caste them. It also seemed as I was rubber banding, as that many people should have easily taken me down. Perhaps the location of my character wasn't updating? Not sure.

Then 7:13 local time hit, and I began dying, with my character not rezzing for a good 45 seconds after I hit the rez button. Laying a face of trech and 2 flame towers took a good 3-5 minutes during this time. After dying 1 more time, I had a delayed rez once again, and crashed to the login screen. All my skills were delayed by a minute, then 2 minutes, then by 5+.

After crashing, I would log back in, try to enter siege war, then my character would fade, and disappear. I could not move my invisible, nonexistent self, and missed the rest of siege.

During this time, we had 5 people able to move, but only 4 active (one of ours was stubborn and thinks preparing for last minute caps while there's 20+ minutes in siege is cool). The rest of our guild either never crashed out, and had all their actions delayed by 3-5+ minutes, or couldn't get in. 1 member however, crashed, had the invisible/fade dilemma, logged, logged back in, and entered siege war without him actually opening up the window and hitting the enter button. Not sure what that was about.

Regardless, the ones who lagged all had their actions delayed, and people on their screen would freeze, then fast forward and update, then freeze again. The ones who went lagless all live on the east coast btw. Im in Cali.

Honestly, siege should at the very LEAST be stable by now. Ever since I joined in early 2010 its always been problem after problem. Enough is enough. Take the damn thing down and work on it. If you lose customers by doing so, well, you deserve it.

What more info can i give.

Actually, I am still very interested in how the normal PvP battlegrounds work when you experience these issues in Siege War. So is 1vs1 Arena and such just as laggy as Siege War.

If the above is true, and our skills are casting but we just don't see it on our screen, then Id think maybe everything packet-wise (Im no techie, so bare with me) is being sent fine from our side, but the server isn't updating us, bits having trouble sending US the data/packet/whatever you call it. Overload perhaps? Since there are some people who can play without any delay, it could also be at one point/location where the data is being sent, its interrupted. idk. If my laptop complies (re-installing Rom atm) Ill check out arena.

Hmm, I will try to get that info. Next time in sw if i am laggy and have the delay i will leave SW and join the arenas 1vs1 and etc to see if i also have the delay or if it is normal.

going to try siege tonite with no expectations (wont be surprised if nothing changes in the next year of beta testing for siege) and will have a guildie try some pvp arena at the same time

so last night's siegewar... we managed to break into the opponent's castle as the lag was starting, we owned all the towers, and as we were breaking into their main keep, we all started to turn to stone... however, we still managed to get it down, destroy their crystal guard, and cap the crystal, with about 15~20min left in siege. Once we were all exited, more than half of us weren't rewarded for our success, and were denied our badges and bags even though we didn't get disconnected...

My guild pulled off a tie night before last despite the lag. Upon the ending of siege, I received my packages, badges... but no honor points. Approx 20 minutes after siege ended, I got a stray message saying my honor points were awarded.

Not saying there is no chance full rewards are being denied, just saying that the lemon of a server that frogster swapped us over to is mucking up the rewards for more than one person/guild.

After the last mini patch you guys did the sw lag for me has been worse, it always gets alot worse at 20 min past the hour. I rubber band a ton in the game and usually get stuck at one spot. If I log off and try to get back into sw, I either disappear and never get into sw or i disappear then 3 min i get the loading screen, then take 5 min on the loading screen. Resurrecting is lagging also. FPS is 30 in game and sw. Ping is 28ms in game and 25ms sw. It takes 11 steps when i did that ip into the cmd.

@GaryL, thats not what im saying, just that there is alot of trouble on the net right now due to what is going on politically. when the market crashes and dollars are worthless will you blame the store for not selling you bread for dollars? just look at the big picture, pull ur heads out of the sand, read a newspaper. do some research. they are binding the bandwidth up hardcore. i dont know how else to explain it, this is just my intuition speaking so take it with a grain of salt. i dont blame frogster soley for what is happening with game. there are much bigger issues at hand. it is nice to escape from that reality now and then into this game, if it would only function"as intended" im going to check out arenas.

Edit:arena seems normal. of course the matches only last for 2 or 3 seconds so i dont see how this tells us anything.

Just got done with siege, was starting to get 5 second lag, so went to do some battlegrounds pvp. Went on a 1v1 no lag at all, then i went to tyrefen and was in their for about 10m no lag at all. So seems like its only in siege that lags.
