You'll probably get more help if you post this kind of question in the technical issues and bugs section, which is where the tech-savvy people hang out:
http://boards.cityofheroes.com/forumdisplay.php?f=578
It's helpful for them if you post your computer specs along with your question, to give people an idea of which performance issues might be caused by hardware, drivers etc. There's a stickied guide in that section for what info is useful to include:
http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=231628
You might want to have a look at some of the other stickied posts there, too, to see if any of them address your problem.
Good luck with getting it fixed, and welcome to the game and forums :-)
Arc#314490: Zombie Ninja Pirates!
Defiant @Grouchybeast
Death is part of my attack chain.
Keep in mind some of it might not be your computer, but server load. With the Incarnate stuff being the current new shiny thing, there are more people running their 50s and high level toons than usual to up their incarnate powers, who are more likely to be in those high-level zones. It could just be there's more for the server to communicate which is producing the lag.

total kick to the gut
This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.
Thanks for your responses everyone. Sorry about posting in the wrong area, I guess I should have looked around more carefully before posting. I will repost in the correct area along with my computer specs now.
In response to the last question, I'm playing a villain on the Protector server.
The fact that this forum doesn't have a perma-link to the Tech forum has been a pet peeve of mine for a while 
Don't worry, it happens. We just like to point you in the right way because there are a number of people who hang there who don't hang here. Mostly Father Xmas and je_saist, because the higher ups haven't learned the lesson yet of "measure twice, hang once"... or something like that.

Everyone seems very supportive here. I really appreciate it, I've been a victim of forum snobbery in the past so this is a nice relief.

Sorry if this is a waste of a post, but I don't understand. Maybe my humor capacity will increase with the rest of my general game competence? |

One of the coolest episodes of the series, and all because the actor playing the titular character had no time to do an episode for that week |
