Terrible lag in PvP zones and arena matches.

While I haven't seen most of this (and, really, don't crash) - this, I have noticed.

Which is rather a pain when you're watching for, say, Rage to crash.

See my Guides and Tutorials

Ugh, I've actually come here to post about this bug. This is driving my CRAZY. I've spent the last 4 days on support ATs. All of them running leadership, one is a Thermal, one a FF, one a Rad with AM. Buffs are completely random whether they show or not. It seems to have little/nothing to do with proximity. I can FF my whole team and have NONE of them show those buffs. Or like one of the leadership toggle buffs will show on my team, but not the others. Sometimes, self-buffs show, sometimes they don't. Even sometimes on my own healthbar, I'm losing buff icons.

Not to mention, there seems to be something going on where if you re-buff while the buffs are flashing (you know, the "I'm about to expire, quick re-apply me so there's no gap!" flashing?) then the buff CONTINUES TO FLASH until one zones. No matter what. I was having people today with multiple AMs showing, all flashing, with only one actual AM applying (I don't have my recharge high enough so there's no gap yet.)

Added to that, lag has been awful. People and foes seeming to teleport around the screen, foes failing to fall down and vanish when they die, really bad rubberbanding.

What the heck is going on?

Ugh, this too, yeah. Lots of fun watching my character just stand there while things happen around her...

This all sounds uncomfortable familiar. I sent in a petition and was replied to with a generic survey about what kind of modem I use and who my ISP is. The issue certainly does not appear to be on my end if it is affecting so many other players.

I got the same thing, but I actually went through and answered all the questions. I'm also not afraid to get snippy with the support staff when they are wrong, which I did do in all of my responses to my petition... as it stands it's been escalated and I'm waiting for a senior GM to tell me it's working as intended and it's all my Computer's fault. /sarcasm

But yeah hopefully the fact that I was a lot more pushy about it then I would normally be while not being "rude" will help. Honestly whether or not you respond to their irrelevant questions, the more petitions sent in about it, the more likely they are to realize it's not on our end - it's on theirs.

So far UberGuy's posts seem to have the best all-encompassing and most educated explanation and description of the issue.

Also, this has indeed been happening for at least 3 days that I've noticed at this point, with fluctuating severity.
