Play on East Coast Server? Have lag? POST HERE!

i did a google search on the pccwbtn.net and found some interesting results. evidently aion is having major problems as well but it seems their support team is actually acknowledging the problems or so it seems by looking at posts made about it in various gaming forums on this very same issue. And yet all i can get support here to do is assigne me a never ending list of pingplotter homework. and so far my pingpotter has yet to complete the connection past the pccwbtn.net hop. this is hop #7 for me

My packet loss problem has returned and seems to be worse than before. In a new development, I'm having problems getting the website and forums to load and game login attempts are timing out too. The started some time today after 5:30 AM Eastern / 2:30 AM Pacific. It would be nice to get some official announcement from NCsoft regarding this issue, but maybe they only care about Aion now?

I've been lagfree since saturday. That's strange, looks like I started lagging while many other folks stopped lagging (monday maintenance) and vice versa.

Like the others have said, Victory was good for a week but this weekend the red is back! What is it with the weekends? Seems like if this happens a lot it might alienate those who can only play on the weekends. Also these lag problems only seem to be happening for those unlucky west coasters who chose an east coast server, at least I asked others who said they had no lag or red bars and they were all on the east coast. Strange...

Edit: Also the lag seems to make loading up the character screen from selecting the server take much longer.

Back to having red grass again

Same here. Returned to the bad way on Triumph

Sigh...same here. Red spikes are back.

Hoping against hope this is fixed by the time I16 starts.

Has anyone found this to be in any way related to shadow shard specific issues? I run on virtue and am usually fine, but the shadow shard is basically unplayable. Horrible beyond playable rubberbanding constantly with mapserves every ten to twenty seconds.

It's the same in all zones for me.

Interestingly, I have no connectivity issues while playing from my house on AT&T DSL. On the other hand, my friend uses Comcast and when we play from his house we get the red spikes from hell. Last weekend, the problem suddenly vanished (for nearly everyone, it seems). It stayed fixed for a few days then reappeared just as suddenly.

Playing on Freedom from both locations.

I play on Triumph. I was noticing that my lag issues had gone away and was just getting ready to say "Good job!" when I played Saturday and Sunday and got LOADS of red spikes in my netgraph. Very disappointing.

Can we get an update from a redname on the progress on this issue?

Storm

It was a nice weekend and monday morning playing without lag. Thankfully monday's maintenance seems to have fixed that, and I am now back in the red spike club. Yay.

packetloss and redspikes nonstop are BACK again.

this is so unfun, it's just ticking me off now.

I have never had problems like this before, but the past couple of weekends I have been having the same issues others have been talking about. Netgraph alternates between lots of thin red and yellow spikes and what looks like big green inch-high blocks with red spikes in between.



I hope they can figure out where the problem is. It happens with either ISP, Verizon (wireless data) or SBC DSL, in different cities - and on different computers - gaming laptop and my main PC, so I am pretty sure it is not me.

I really really hope when we can actually get back online with 16 live the red spikes are gone. and once again no further updatesfrom support nor a redname post even admitting the problem is a problem.

Tested and confirmed on 9/14/09

Red spikes are back on Liberty with a vengence.

Delayed animations, delayed effects.

I am going through Atlantic Broadband in the NE region.


Sorry NCsoft, I LOVE this game...but I don't even play it now. I can't connect to the new characters I made on Champion while I still have things unfinished with my Liberty characters.

I only log in to check the performance now and typically am out in less than 15 minutes.

I am done. I won't go over to the other game because the last thing I want to do is extended beta testing for a rushed game. (the former was my opinion and mine alone, debate it with me over PM's not here).

You could offer me another free month of play, but I would turn it down. What do I want with a free month of play in a game where I can't play for more than an hour or so without a disconnect, horrible lag on powers and graphics, and worse when I am grouped.

Sorry, but the $15 a month I spend will be going to a game where I can actually play as intended.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE send out some type of mailers to subscribers who cancelled during the time of this issue.

You fix it, I will return.

In the mean time...I wish you all well and bless you all for your patience...I personally have run out.

got a reply from customer nosupport telling me they are looking into it. cant type what they said because of forum rules but the basic message was they are aware but no eta on solution

Whatever this 'emergency server maintenance' was, it didn't do jack s**t for my connection problems. Still getting ludicrous lag on all servers, East AND West Coast (Comcast, Denver). Support is still giving me the runaround with the usual canned responses—known issue, working on it, please be patient, etc.—while repeatedly asking me to supply them with the same system information I've given them half a dozen times already.

It's been over a month now, I'm out of patience. My sub is up on Oct. 12th. If this issue isn't resolved by then, they've lost a 5-year vet. Simple as that.

Am I the only person who has seen an improvement? I am pretty lucky. I seldom have lag, rarely dc or rubberband. Grandville was the only slightly laggy area for me, and now that has cleared.
