Sunday around 3pm est we tried to raid SE but we got hit by the worst lag on the server i have ever seen. Everyone had lag between 30% and 80% till we left the zone wich was about 15 minutes later. Relogging your char fixed it for about 30 seconds and then the lag hitted you again. So after this VERY frustrating thing we decided to give another zone a chance. So we all moved to Sseru. wich crashed when we where at the locked doors of the guys that spawn lord Seru. This zone stayed down for some time till we had to call off the raid.

This lag on raids is killing high end WR. It is really anoying if you get 30+ people together only to kill them all by lag. i already heard people talking about leaving WR because of it.
 
Just as a note, this wasn't lag due to larger numbers in one zone. I entered Sseru with Delacroix before anyone else got there, and was hit with the same lag. There were two people in the zone and it was acting like SE. When I was finally able to work normally we started raiding and killed about 10 mobs and that same freaky lag hit again. I don't think it's entirely due to large volume, unless the 30 players in SE created the server to lag and that could be what caused two people in sseru to lag.

I do agree however that yesterday was the absolute worst I have ever seen before.

P.S. I'm not bitching. I am fully aware the staff is doing all in their power to work on this, I am just helping to give info on this type of lag, as I've never seen it. <3
 
Sseru has always been a laggy buggy zone. Storms Eye, on occasion, has gotten messed up too but not nearly as often.

Ruins last 3 raids to ToT and NToV have been nearly clear since the last netcode change. We only got hit with that massive packet surge thing one time in NToV and it was very brief. A lot of our people do seem to get bugged regularly now for no reason when we get everyone into a single zone and everyone still takes turns going link dead occasionally. But the 30k packet surge that normally freezes everything and ends up wiping you has been nowhere near the problem it was the last 2 weeks. Knock on wood.
 
I was at the SE and sseru raid attempts and I must say that it was a real pain. Hours and hours we spent for nothing at all :( Now I know that WR is doing its best to recover and I am not upset because i know everyone is working to make it better and im sure it will be worth it, but again, it is frustrating....oh well ;)
 
i'm an ass

I'm an ass!!!! quit messing up the travel system and fix the LAG NOW!!!! NOW!!!!! I..... I... COMMAND IT :D

/emote watch all the GM's aggro to him
Cyrus attempts to Feign Death and is unsuccessful
GM Growls
Cryus goes etheral
Cryus is still hit for 100000k of damage

On a serious note though even in small groups and on zoning lag seems to becoming more and more of an issue again.
 
What you described wasn't the netcode, it was the server processor being all hogged by something.
 
So you still feel we should have no trouble raiding from now? (unless the server processor is crappy again)

How much people in 1 zone raidng should the current server be able to handle?
 
I don't really think the processor freak was related to the raid, it's usually caused by a zone going into a loop (which makes it unaccessible) or the FTP server freaking, or the box running out of RAM, but for anecdotal evidence, after some tweaks and rewrites I did today Ruin had a 40-person raid for several hours with like one single-person LD in total.
 
HELL YEAH!!!

ROCK ON!!!!! gonna be sweet to see the raid forces now : )



Also I have an extra stick of 32mbRam if you want it :lol:
 
Lag

Ok, Whatever you did during our (RUIN) raid did the trick I had no packet loss or packet flood.
I didn't notice anyone going ld either Nice job Wiz.
