136590-ability-delay

So, now while a lot of the more general lag issues have been resolved, and people aren't getting stuck in a loading character loop anymore....there's a new issue now.
 
Basically, skills are very randomly getting delayed. Sometimes there's no delay at all, sometimes it's just a half second...sometimes it's a minute. And more strange, it doesn't seem the same between all players either. In PVP, my skills will be getting delayed, while the other player is getting all their skills to activate normally.
 
Who else is seeing this and how bad is it for you?

			It's server LAG.	
----
			
That's the thing though. It seems different that general server lag.
 
For instance, my raid group just tried to attempt a trash pull in GA. While my own skills were firing off great since the server restart, our tank and a healer were not able to cast any skills. And then, once the encounter ended, the healer was chain casting everything they had queued up. It is very bizarre and not like normal server-wide lag.

While it amy not effect you directly they themselves are. It's the equivelant of when you sometimes see a person running into a wall and then all of a sudden they're down the hallway. It may not be normal server lage(although all server lag is technically not normal) it is a form of it In a nutshell their characters were lagged and not yours, but you were able to see their lag.
 
lag is like time, its all wibbly wobbly...

Hey Coldin!Thanks for bringing this issue to our attention (I actually experienced this too while leveling my Aurin this morning) - While we are still working on the general lag issues, I can definitely pass this along and see if this is a separate/new issue and see if someone can take a look into it.In the meantime, for you and any others experiencing issues, using the /bug command in game helps us out tremendously too!
 
 
P.S. I always see you in the WildStar twitch chat - Thanks for always being so awesome and supportive!

			I've experienced it the last few nights, usually when I also see zone chat scream about lag issues.  Usually my ping shoots up over 2k when this happens also.  Running speedtest/trace routes shows my ISP is working fine during these spurts so I'm prone to believe it's the servers having issues.

Getting this constantly now on my lvl9 Esper in Celeston. Eventually I get unsync'd with the server and get a message "Network Error Connection Closed" . I was fine today before the hotfix. No lag and no issues.
Ping is showing as 80-120.
 
Closed the game, and then relaunched. When I got back in to the queue, in the top left was the message: "You were disconnect because of Server Lag".

Yeah this is weird...  Here I am, hammering on my skills, and I see an esper off in the distance firing off her skills no problem. o.o
 
EDIT:
Alright no, this is fullblown lag like I've never seen it before.
Ran my may down to tempest refuge.  No NPCs were there, relog, logged back into spaceport horizon.
 
I could still read chat, and it was updating, but my messages werent' going through.

			I'm having this same issue and I have no clue how to fix it. My abilities cast whenever they want and then become frozen and go off all at once. A couple other people in my raid are having the same issues as well so if a fix can be found or a reason for this happening could be provided it would be much appreciated :)

			Been having this also but its very odd because its like only my skills lock out but everyone else around still keeps going normally. I can tell by looking at the damage meter and looking at the attacks and seeing what attacks they are casting but for some reason I am a vegetable I can move and dodge but just cant use my skills. When I can its like every button I hit is cast in order and cant cancel. So if I had hold to cast on its GG until the server catches up ...jumping wont even cancel it since it just has to catch back up. It is kind of annoying.

I've had huge lag all night doing everything:
 
-Abilities take several seconds or at times several minutes to go off
-Players stop moving then warp around the screen
-When interacting with NPCs it takes several seconds or several minutes for windows to open.
-After several minutes of waiting I frequently get "Connection Closed" and need to reconnect
 
The issue is not on my end. I can play on Entity-2 just fine. After the server was rebooted the lag was gone for about an hour or so - then returned. It does not matter where I am in the world, in raids, or instances, its everywhere.
 
It feels very much like a network problem, similar to what you experience with packet loss over a TCP connection.

It's not just abilities, like 25 mins ago when I was housing I tried to place a Cassian Cylinder. But it didn't place. So I thought it was a crated (since it changes and is the same button as place). But this wasn't the case. So I placed another of the same Cylinder in the same exact spot, only to have nothing appear again. Then after I went to place a third and different item (for the heck of it) and it didn't place I went to log out.
 
Suddenly all 3 items appeared where I wanted them to appear and it didn't log me out. No further issue with placing stuff, so far.
 
Oh, and when I activate housing items (doors and levers), on rare occassion it doesn't de-select them if I click off of them. It doesn't even de-select them if I hit escape, like it normally did. The interact popup icon stays, no matter how far away from the interactable item I go. Both indoors and outdoors.

Having same issue. Click an ability when standing still. Can be anywhere from 2 seconds or instant, then any charged ability can random also. 
If I move and attack at same time. Always seems to cause the lag.
 
I see some others lagging next to me. Others are fighting smoothly and having no issues.
