I didn't have this, but had a different bizarre lag issue on Freedom after the surge.
Moving around town, no problems, doing missions, no problems, enter the reactor building at the end of the WTF, 700 ping, packet loss everywhere for the whole time i was in there. Finish the trial, come out, all back to normal.
It's true. This game is NOT rocket surgery. - BillZBubba
Prior to the event I didn't have problems with lag beyond what one normally gets when running trials. The day afterwards however both myself and Roommate and friend who lives in another part of town are getting giant blocks of lag every minute or two of any activity, including normal teaming even simply running around zones.
Its aggravating to watch mobs actively attack my toon while I can't do a thing to defend myself for a good 20 seconds, although my attack that's on auto fire will still go off. Its all happening in real time, I watch myself take damage and attack with auto fire power assuming I had a mob targeted, but can't click anything.
When crossing zones I don't notice the spike until I realize there is no mobs, players, npcs around me then I'm rubber banded back upwards of several blocks.
Now when these spikes occur the Net graph gets 3 or 4 Single full yellow bars then after the spike passes a solid full yellow block scrolls across. Normally The graph is very low and green.
However the blocks of lag never occur if I don't move anywhere or do anything, its only when I start moving and inputting commands that i'll have problems.
