Warhammer had no lag problems. D:

Warhammer had no lag problems. D:

I played Star Wars Galaxies on 56k with no lag problems as well.

[Insanecyclone]

Warhammer had no lag problems. D:

Fortress was the only lag I ever received from that game

[Eanae]

Well, I meant from betas. But in general there was no lag yeah.

OB ends the 13th and the headstart is the 20th full week to fix problems they encountered in the OB. Just hope there isn't any problems on the 18th when we make our guys ahead of time.

Semi-confirmed:

NCSoft traffic being throttled at 192.205.35.170, major ATT hub.

Edit: I just finished a chat session with an ATT representative. This guy tried to tell me that the address where everyone's tracert stops is inside my network. Now, I know first of all that there are not 13 hops through my network from my machine to the router, and the address listed above was hop #13. My tracert log goes to an att hub in georgia before it hits the bottleneck, so I basically just got lied to by my service provider.

My tracert dies at a level3 hub in baltimore

[Ratatapa]

same for me

Baltimore lv3 hop#13

So it might be the issue

[Tokitoki]

It isnt just Vaziel. Triniel is lagging like crazy now. I engaged a Leph, lagged for 20sec, attacked once, lagged for 30sec, attacked once, died. Then the server wouldnt even respawn me, I was just sitting there dead.

No lag, just randomly falling through the world and dying. :D

[booly]

this is just retarded, i cant even log in all while im sitting in vent hearing at least 15 people playing without a problem. i know betas have problems but seriously they had to have known this was gonna happen.

[Olo401]

At least we know the problem isn't with the game, but with fucking AT&T/L3.

[Ratatapa]

Yeah but if Ncsoft can't fix that with AT&T, i'm scared for the launch.

Well they have 2 weeks atleast but still

I wasn't lagging the first 2 times i logged in but 3rd time was a charm. Found the logging out and back in after 7 times or so fixed it. I noticed 3 different situations for me, either I lagged so bad I couldn't get from the login to in game on my character w/o disconnecting, or I could get in and play but rubber band crazy and skills took forever (with pings of 200-1000), or play just fine at pings of 80-180. Seems relogging helps a lot.

[Priran]

Yeah but if Ncsoft can't fix that with AT&T, i'm scared for the launch.

FFXI had a similar problem with Optimum Online a few years ago, except instead of throttling FFXI they completely blocked it. If those clowns at SE can fix something like this I'm sure NCSoft can handle it.

I go from 100MS to 2k+ MS w/in seconds (or mroe like w/e you engage something). Seems odd that my latency increases the second I try to interact w/ something. It was definitely better yesterday, and I don't understand why I get next to 0 lag on China client when NCsoft is so bad

[Elites]

Never have i seen so much QQing for an open beta such as in Aionsource.

[aers]

My tracert dies at a level3 hub in baltimore

Yeah.

Yesterday, for the first half of the day, I was getting routed through Limelight Networks - as were a bunch of people on the betaboards. Then all of a sudden, later in the day, it switched over to level3, going to that Baltimore hub. At that time is when the horrific lag started (for me at least). It looks like LLNW blocked Aion traffic or their router crashed and everything is routing around it now, as I haven't seen a single llnw tracert since posted since it changed over for me. Because of this the load on that level3 network has increased; maybe that's why they throttled?

[Eanae]

Aionsource is pretty terrible. I'm awaiting an Elitist Jerks / BG type site to open up.

Protip: Do NOT pick the youth female voice. It sounds fine in the character creator, but the melee attack sound sounds like she is delivering a baby... Didn't listen to the rest other than basic, which doesn't sound bad in that regard.
