Just A Question

Sorry if i am placing this in the wrong area, but I just started playing a Villian character a few days ago & have noticed extreme lag, that I don't get while playing on hero side (asside from when those bloody zombies attack, then there is always lag no matter what).

On villian side, every 15-20 min or so, there is so bad lag, that you can't even move your character or even type & when I asked other gamers, they all said the same thing.

Is this normal for Villian side? Is there maybe something the Devs could do to curb this issue, because it is really frustrating, especially when you are in the heat of battle & are surrounded my thousands of mobs.

Now this does not just happen at the AE building, like everybody might think, this happens no matter where you are, no matter what city, ect ect, any thoughts?

Which server do you normally play heroes on ?

Which server are you seeing this issue on ?

There is an issue with the East Coast servers caused by one of the ISPs that route data from that data center.

If you have switched servers it could be due to that.

The servers have had some hiccups lately; also keep in mind that the Isles tend to be a bit more graphic-intensive than Paragon. Paragon is all blocks and straight lines, while the Isles have a lot more geometry for your graphics card to render. Try lowering your world detail to Medium under advanced visual options. If that doesn't work, check your machine for any background downloads. If that isn't the problem, it's the server getting a bit traffic-heavy, and all you need to do is wait a few.

It is on the Freedom Server, I know freedom is a very high traffic server, but for instance on hero side, at the AE building in Atlas, once you get into the instance the lag vertually stops. The only time there is contant lag is when the zombies appear, but that happens on both villian & hero, also on hero side, once you leave the AE building & go elsewhere & even do regular mish's once again, lag virtually stops. So this issue with the lagging heavily every 15-20min is only on Villian side.

Villian side however, I have noticed even in The AE no matter where you are, the lag isn't so bad, but what is happening is you will be playing & all of a sudden the lag gets so bad, you can't even move an inch. This happens every 15-20 min or so, after that the game runs perfectly. Untill it repeats itself.

When I asked about this ingame, several gamers had mentioned it had been going on for over a week at least, so I don't think its my graphics card or the game setting I have as other posts suggest, only because everybody else seems to be having the same issue.
