I've been having the same issue at times over the last week, but it comes and goes. I've even turned my graphics settings down to minimum and my connection speed is great, just don't know what it is. It seems to be happening in the more populated zones as you get towards the center areas where most of the people are hanging out.

Actually I was able to confirm that this is mostly happening so far in Atlas, Kings Row, Steel Canyon and the Hollows.|

When my blaster moved to Faultline, it magically disappeared. And also, now that you've mentioned it, it doesn't happen with the same intensity at every point in a zone. Like it's really bad around WW, Icon and the University.
It's annoying, but for me I'm more worried trying to figure out the stupid graphics crash I keep having with the new patch(es). The game runs for about an hour and then conks out and freezes mid battle and just sits there with a black screen and a sound loop. It doesn't matter if I run it at optimum settings or in safe mode, it still does it. It's driving me nuts because I just bought my new laptop which is loaded out and the game crashes every hour, but on my 4-yr old desktop it runs fine.

Updated video drivers? Running windows 7 or vista?
I've got Vista. Drivers are updated as far as I can get them. My graphics card on my desktop is ancient(about 3 years old) and it stll runs the game just fine w/o any problems.
It's odd, whenever I talk to contacts or look at info for other players, it doesn't show the pic of the person, just a black space. Basically what happens is the game will be playing fine and then it will start to freeze up, then the screen goes really dark and I can still see some effects, and then it will finally just lock up and I have to reset.

Been seeing the stuttering and rubber-banding a bit but its inconsistent. Some days are better than others... I expect some while traveling near the usual gathering spots (under Atlas, the market in Cap, AP, or Talos, Pocket D) but I've seen it just standing in a quiet street in the hinter land of a zone.
Like I said, its inconsistent, so I can't pin-point an exact cause. Some times I play for awhile with no hitch, then sudden stuttering. Some days nothing, others I can't do anything.
I play on both a Mac and PC and its about the same, some good days/hours others bad.
Wish I could point at something specific and say "that seems to be the culprit" but I have nothing. Other than to say: I see it too.
Does anyone know if there is any official word as to why Virtue is so laggy lately?
I made a new blaster there a week or so ago and find that everything stutters. Just watching citizens walk and traffic drive is like someone is hitting and releasing the pause button on a video really quickly.
Is this just me or are other people noticing this lag? I'm not getting this on Victory, Infinity or Justice where I usually play. The server load doesn't show read or even yellow. It has the one green dot.
This is seriously frustrating.
