Small lags and rubber-banding

I'm getting small lags since Monday.
On mission maps, outdoors or even in my SG base.

It's enough to make using cone shape attacks extremely difficult.
Also it can be enough to not follow a mob even after hitting a bind key 'Follow', right after an attack I often hit 'Follow' again when I think I didn't before because my toon is not moving and thus cancel it.

This is on a DM scrapper.

I've been getting this too, as was my team mate last night, at the same time. Everything is just very choppy, not the sort of huge lag jumps I've had before. This was on Union Villains around midnight.

Both on a standard Office Map and in Cap Au afterwards (the instance seemed worse to me though).

Is your net connection wireless?
I am on wireless and this is when all of these problems/niggles started. (for me anyway)
Unfortunately, I still do not have the option to go 'wired' yet.

I was deliberately on the wired connection yesterday, I tend to just use Wireless for browsing the net or whatever. Happily the router is close to where I set my laptop up so when playing I wire it up.

I've been experiencing this too. Thought it might have to do with my connection, or the usual outbursts of lag we get from time to time, but it has never before been so consistently bad as it has been since this week. As Carni says not so much big lag spikes, but more like overall almost continuously small rubberbanding. Occasionally I see a critter slowly heading towards me from like 70 feet and 3 secs later he's suddenly standing right in front of me . Sometimes it's even so bad that defeated mobs are still visible (with health bars up) for a couple of seconds. Me cuing an attack and not firing off, because the mob is dead already, which I can only a couple of secs later. Makes targeting very ackward. It is playable, still it's a real pain in the profound buttom.

You're the team-mate I was referring to (you poor blighter)

The fact that both of us were getting it in the same instance when we're in different countries (I think?) points towards some sort of infrastructure or server issue rather than anything on the users end.

I know you were fu-ma! But it has been happening everywhere on many different toons and sometimes other ppl do experience the same and sometimes not. Anyways, I hope it's fixed asap if it's server instability NCsoft side, because it bugs me. And apparently im not the only one.
