Runes of Magic US / AU

Siege did not start at teh top of the hour. Normally I pop Galloping Gale and hop on my mount to get that quick start. I try to do this just before I expect the announcement to scroll. Last night I did the same, but the Gale expired and I had to pop another one, then the announcement appeared, So, I expect that we had a start delay of around 3 minutes, like before. i started hearing reports from teamates of lag at about the 20 minute mark, but I was fine....until about 30 minutes in, then I rapidly went from about 1 or 2 seconds lag to 5 minutes, then forever...Also, seige never ended, one player went AFK and came back 2 hours after seige was supposed to end and he was still in the battleground.

It should be noted that for the last minute or two of siege, for us, the lag stopped and we were all able to cast normally. Up until that point it had been pretty bad for almost everyone.

I had a similar experience. I had no lag for first 20 minutes, 3-5 second delay on skills for next 37 minutes or so, then no lag for last 3 minutes. However, during that middle 3-5 second lag stage, I would lag on 4 or 5 straight skills and then one would go off real time. It was a very odd mixture of lag and no lag that was so inconsistent that it was almost harder to play with than just normal lag.

I mean, I know less about computers than I do about say... nuclear physics, but- I dunno.

Kinda want to know whay you know ANYTHING about nuclear physics.. ia lways knew you were a terrorist.

Instead of Santa Claus and Valentine hearts -- cut the crap and fix siege! The massive downloads don't enhance my game play at all. Siege does, and it lags, lags, lags.

Ok I sieged on my babylolscout in my alt guild tonight, and we had 8 people in and the opposition had about 8 or 9 also, so a small siege war. Unlike last time we saw the button light up exactly when the announcement scrolled.

We experienced very little lag until the 40 minute mark. It stayed around 5 seconds until the 50 minute mark, and then it increased to 25-60 seconds for me, and it persisted til the end of siege. My siege did not end on time, I got the zone screen about a minute after siege ended, crashed, and received no honor or badges as far as I could tell. When I relogged nothing dropped into my inventory anyway.

Ok, I am apparently no good at following directions, because I forgot cntrl-x, but this screenie shows all but the zone id (pls don't let that be the important part) thanks to xbar's addon:


Ping: 47
FPS: 31

Hope that helps some, I will remember cntrl-x tonight

I started lagging about 10 minutes from start, just 3-5 seconds.
Around 20 minutes in lag started to increase, 5 seconds with constant spikes up to about 30 seconds.
About 40 minutes in I lagged by a constant 45 seconds to 1 minute+.
I did not get out of siege till about 90 seconds after it was over for our 2 unlagged people.

One strange thing I did notice, all skills were lagged except summoning my pet, pet summon was not lagged at all.

Sorry I forgot to take screenshots, I'll try to remember next siege.

Garry, check tomorrow, because the thing is that for me at least, the pet cast bar isn't lagged- so it seems normal- til you realize that the pet itself doesn't spawn til your lag catches up.

No idea why, but when I first noticed this it's because I obsessively check my HP in siege to see if I clicked all my usual buffs, and I noticed that even though the pet cast bar had completed, I didn't actually get the buffs til the lag caught up.

Weird huh. Cause the mount cast bar has lag, as does the actual spawning of the mount.

Still wanna hear from Exileddemonhorde on how your lag was last night against us- Broguey where are you, you booger!

This booger has been busy, but am here now Ms. Murphy!! Since most of our heavy hitters were in ToSH when siege started, I got in about 15-20 minutes late. Our guildy's who were in on time, and raging at all us in ToSH, did not report any lag at the start. Myself and many of us who got in late to siege did not lag much during the entire fight, interestingly enough those who were in on time lagged out at about the 30 minute mark and siege was unplayable for them. So, unfortunately Ms. Murphy, my dear, we had about 10 out of our 30 who were not laggin, but they happened to be our top players. We will not be signing for any time soon. Complete waste of time in our opinion.

I had an idea you were lagging pretty bad as I saw you just standing at your castle gate for about 5 minutes doing nothing, then all the sudden you ran to the tower we had occupied, into my loving arms of death.

We would require some more information from players who participated in the last Siege Wars and were dealing with lags and issues again. Please provide us with the following:

- Start time of the siege wars battle (meaning, when did your siege war actually begin, exactly at 8pm PST or when later, when exactly)

- After how many minutes does the lag start (e.g. 8:20 pm PST)

- Please upload a screenshot on today's Siege War, if you participate, that shows FPS, Zone ID and Ping (Ctrl + X)

Here's some info you might find useful:

1. I entered siege promptly on 2-15-2012 when the Battle began. This was at 10pm EST time in the US.

2. I noticed a slight lag when entering siege, which hadn't happened the night before after the maintenance patch.

3. Siege was a bit laggy from the start, but good enough to combat and oppose the opposite guild.

4. At approximately 18 minutes into siege, lag became progressively worse and worse until my toon was completely unplayable 30 minutes into siege. I tried logging out and back in a few times, but it did not help.

5. Each and every time I would try to relog, I would get a critical error message when logging out, basically telling me the game had crashed during siege

6. Eventually I logged out and could not get back in. My toon would disappear when trying to get back into the battle and then I would be kicked back to the log-in screen.

7. Eventually Siege completely crashed at about 5-10 minutes before the end time, showing a blank battle screen and it appears no one was credited with a victory or win.

Sorry, I don't have a screen shot with cntrl X info (I couldn't get back in), but will try to capture one next time I try siege again.

Siege had the same semi late start by about 20-30 secs after the hour the guild we faced was split into two different sieges so they only had 3 people in compared to our 23 so no chance to lag since we took the crystal in five min, so sorry once again no screen shots again today.
Have a good weekend and good luck fixing siege.

No info today, it was all over in 8 minutes, done before we hit the lag wall.

21 minutes into siege. 5 seconds of CONSISTENT DELAYS. I already told you [LOVELY PEOPLE] the timeframe of the issue and yet you NEGLECT to fix this for HOW LONG

I entered siege 45 minutes after it started, and it was essentially empty. There was no NPC's, players, and towers. Castle, gate, as well as siege building like processing factories, etc.. loaded and was present
In the second picture, the players and NPC's loaded after I was killed.
However, when I resurrected (in the third pic), players, NPC's and towers did not load, and were not visible again.

Ping and zone ID enlargened for easier viewing. I hope you will find this helpful.

Same old, same old.

Sideways gates made it a challange to defened the castle though.

Inner gate would drop us inside the walls if we teleported through.

- Siege started at normal time it has been starting at all week, nothing abnormal about it.

- Lag started at about 20 mins in, game became unplayable about 30 minutes in.

- Would love to have gotten this info for your, but after I lagged out I was never able to reenter siege war. Restarted computer, restarted internet connection, logged on/off probably about 20 times... siege war never let me back in to get this information. My character would just fade away, then i would disconnect, sometimes falling through the world at the login screen.

Seems like you all put a band-aid on a hemorrhage with this problem.

i have a question for everone who truly thinks siege/pvp aspect of rom is so fun, why u not filling up pvp servers to enjoy 24/7 pvp? dont be skeered, not like it used to be with the ganking.

SW started at 7pm pst exactly, at 7:25pm pst the lag started with 1-2 second lag. As sw progressed the lag got worse, at the end sw was at 5 min lag. FPS: 20 avg, Zone: 402 and Ping 90 avg.

Not all artists paint 24/7.

Not all movie enthusiasts sit in front of tvs 24/7.

Enjoying PVP is not an "All or nothing" hobby.

Some people like to be full-time PVP, some people like to be part-time PVP.

You'd think 3 years on in ROM and most people woulda figured that out by now

(This is new) Two of us went to go into Seige and the button for Seige was not lit up. Also neither of us got the Seige Wars is starting world message. Noticed we still had the seige matchups from the night before in the Battles window. We had to log out and back into game to get battle window to show tonight's (Saturday) matchup and be able to get into seige. Neither of us had logged out since Friday night Seige.

Still lag in Seige tonight, but not as bad. About 1 min was worst for anyone. 10 to 15 sec was typical for most in our guild tonight.

The lag seemed to come and go as well.

Also seemes to lighten up near the end.

Sorry forgot about screens.
