Terrible Lag?
What server are you on?
Yesterday I was doing a Sister Psyche TF on Virtue at offpeak time, which was almost called off due to the unbearable lag being suffered by the entire team. One person even logged off in a tantrum it was even that bad.
Triumph has been having horrible lag problems for 2-3 weeks also.

[QUOTE=theOcho;3409811]As to the REAL reason I'll be leaving, I'm afraid it is indeed because Tamaki Revolution dc'd on me during a RSF.[/QUOTE]
We got some really bad lag last night on Guardian during our failed MoITF run. Started at 8pm EST, ended 11:20 PM, 2 DCs (me being one, but that was my internet), and long load times into the missions.
After it was over, it took me about 5 mins. to load into my SG Base.

Biggest Troll on the forums? I'll give you a hint:
I don't know about 3 weeks, but I've been getting an unusual amount of lag these past couple of days. Been using /sync like never before! I'm over on Champion.

Yeah Triumph is bad. The reason there's no widespread outcry is because the forum-only trolls would immediately turn the thread into a q and a on connection speeds and graphics cards despite protests that it's happening to everyone.

This definitely happens on Infinity, too. You'll spend several minutes on the CoH or CoV loading screen--literally, I timed it--while hearing things going on around the outside door, like people landing to use it or enemies fighting nearby. Eventually, the map picture + hint will flash briefly as the loading bar fills in a couple of seconds, then the entire team will burst through the inside door like the raiders at the end of a Rikti Ship Raid. Then one person says "sorry, long load times today" and four others immediately respond "like that for a while now."
I had a Posi TF last week where two people used Ctrl-Alt-Del to exit the game after a minute of loading. They were able to reload the game, log in, and zone into the mission a full minute or two before the other six people popped out of the door.
Earlier today, it took me 12 minutes to zone into my base on Guardian. Zone to Zone was taking 3-6 minutes and about 6-8 minutes to load into the mishs. Even after I loaded, I was rubberbanding and getting the occasional LCTMS.
Loaded up Pinnacle and it was fine. Went back to Guardian and it lagged and rubberbanded like an epileptic meth head on payday.
Haven't played in forever and a day, but logged on yesterday for a bit. The lag and rubberbanding was so bad on Champion, I only lasted 10 minutes before I logged off.

Short Story I did: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=228383

Last night was the worst I've seen it on Pinnacle in a long time.
A friend and I both experienced terrible lag in Kings Row on Virtue. We were simply hunting Clockwork by the hospital and my powers were stuck for a couple of minutes than several fired in a matter of 2-3 seconds and battle was done.
We called it a night and moved on to other things.
Yeah Virtue was pretty bad last night. I was on an ITF and the lag made it almost unplayable for the last two missions (and that was even with us avoiding the really high lag areas of those maps).
I've been getting terrible lag on Infinity for the past ~3 weeks, and it isn't isolated to me. Rubberbanding throughout each mission has been the norm for my teams as well, and many (about half) say this has been going on for a couple of weeks for them, too.
It's bad enough that I'm actually most curious about the lack of wide public outcry (hence posting in General), which makes me wonder if it's just some sort of regional problem that is somehow infectious to teammates of those infected.
Does anyone know anything about this?
