State of the NA servers

[Kaoklai]

They have been abnormally laggy for the last ~month and a half.  It feels like almost a 1/3 second delay on blocks/attacks/hit detection fairly often.  Asked people on the server multiple times over this period if they felt it too, and about half say they do.  I've seen people complain about it themselves more than a few times.  Any other NA players or devs want to chime in?

although i have 45 ping ~ it still feels like 108 ping / NA 8 Server xd

[LUBU]

Yeah I noticed it too. My ping is around 13-25, I'd release a swing and the animation gets 'stuck' for a little before actually releasing.

+1

[POOPHAMMER]

I will have to agree. I play on my 2H STF alt often, as well as my shielder main and I am not just saying this to compensate because there are instances where I wonder how my hits even hit them, I will swing and like a solid second or two later the kill or hit will register. Something is very funky with the servers. There are also other instances where my ping will go from its normal 30 to like fucking 600-900 for no reason at all, its awful.

But yeah laggy too, also ping will jump from my normal 62 to the hundreds and drop back all within seconds.

I agree, too laggy for me to enjoy the game really, can't see animations on weapons and when I swing or shoot it feels like my sword/bolts go right through people and do nothing, but I'm probably just bad.

[HungryNBroke]

The server lag is really severe. Team-wounding is guaranteed if fighting near anyone,you cannot block anything reliably, and it is next to impossible to hit anyone (other than teammates) with the longer polearm stabs. Hopefully this problem will be resolved soon.

My suggestion for being successful on NA1: SPAM

and run into large groups of enemies and spin a lot. It turns out the enemy helps you survive.

I have barely played the last couple months after "Destiny Patch" because of this lag.............I knew the first time i came back and played there was some weird lag shit happening!

[StonedSteel]

ya, combats pretty wonky sometimes, and the random delays make it pretty shitty getting your timing\distance down.

but eh, we've BEEN asking for server resets, EU and NA. its crpg, it will happen when it happens.

[WITCHCRAFT]

This is why I haven't gotten a hard drive and put my gaming computer back together yet (also waiting for tax returns).

Everything is a bland spamfest when the server has lag like this. Animations seem glitchy and wonky because your computer and the server disagree on where everything is. Reminds me of really fun (and high skill ceiling) fighting games ruined by bad netcode.

uhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm yea you better fix this

[Novamere]

Well when feb patch is out servers are going to have to go down and back up so that might be the reset/lag fix we need.

[Taser]

I can confirm. I was server lag.

Hopefully when the new patch comes and the servers are reset this helps. Because its annoying. If I wanted to be pissed at lag I'd just play on EU.
