Pinnacle Server Lag - BAF Trial

I think there is to much data being bruteforced upon you when using the league ui.
The stop sending buff numbers does not seem to work either.

I get "normal" lag when on a non league team during a MSR and Hami. However if i'm on a league during those raids i dc often and crash.

No i don't need to get a new computer atm(not that it would matter.) and i would probably need to live in Korea to get good enough internet to handle the extra data.

Was on a Hami and a BAF last night on Victory with a lot of lag (Hami was the redside version), both utilizing the league window. Things were laggy enough on Hami that we gave up after the 50% phase... we were trying to redo things without being in a league, to see if that helped, but enough people had skipped out of zone that it wasn't seen as worth it. I have never seen lag on a Hami raid like this before, redside or blueside, though I have only been on a blueside one since I20 hit.

BAF was not quite as bad, but it was laggy, and we had 24 people in the league.

Ran an ITF afterward with a team of 8 and had no lag, other than the usual bits on the third map: and even that wasn't as bad as on the two leagues I had been on.

Just in case anyone important is really reading this, as support keeps telling me I should come here cuz the devs read our problems....

I spent saturday going through every one of my drivers, updated several, including my graphics card driver. This had absolutely no effect, and no, I don't need a new computer, the one I have cost me more than $3K and it is less than a year old.

Well, at least that is some recognition that there really is a problem. I'll believe they'll fix it when I actually see it fixed. Seems that I have been seeing people complain about lag in things like MSRs and Hami raids for a very long time without anything being done, so I won't hold my breath.

I think it's a little sad no red names have commented on this. Even with the generic "we're investigating this issue". A little sad and very much disappointing.

I was on a BAF today, on Virtue, with a full 24 league, and the lag was worse than a Mothership raid, as it has been since the last patch.

However, at some point one of our players dropped, leaving us with 23 players, and the lag diminished considerably. Unfortunately I don't recall what AT/power sets the missing player had, but the fact that removing a single player from the map coincided with a substantial gain in performance makes me wonder if the issue could be related to particular powers.

I recall an issue at the launch of i19 that caused people to crash when Alpha-slotted characters summoned certain types of pets.. perhaps a similar thing going on here?

In any case, this needs fixing ASAP.

Rikti ship raid on Victory Sunday night at 8 pm Eastern.

Lag so bad, I looked forward to doing a BAF trial afterwards.

I was alone on a sector of the ship, no buffs being sent, combat attributes UI turned off and was still >3fps.

If devs are watching this thread, pull up the logs of RWZ on Victory from 8-9 pm eastern on Sunday 5-1-11. I hope you'll be able to pull some information from it that will allow a solution.

Ran two BAF (14-16 person) before work on Pinn today, both AVs pulled to the helipad...

Huge difference. Practically lag-free. So I think - for me at least - that third team is the tipping point.

Looks like the devs are narrowing in on the problem. That's good to hear.

I still get loads of lag when im on a league during hami and ship raid. Monitoring it looks like stop sending buff numbers isnt working properly.
