			I don't usually make these kind of threads but I feel the need to here.Wildstar has so much potential... it has a great artstyle, charm, and a top notch combat system. It scratched my itch for something more involved and dynamic. It was also the first western MMO whose character models didn't utterly repel me (hello Rift and WoW)But when the lag doesn't let me complete the simplest of quests, nevermind trying a dungeon or anything more complex, I just don't want to deal with that frustration. I want to have fun.So please, fix the lag, because like me who knows how many others really enjoy the game but have to leave it because it's currently unplayable.So I dunno... guess I'll give another go to gw2? I didn't like it very much but it worked properly. >_>:(

			It's been on and off. Yet, they smoothed out a lot of stuff before F2P - I am sure they will do it again. Game just needs the faith and support of players who believe in it. Definitely worth the faith.	
----
			Lag? Still? Wow. I'm on Jabbit, not sure which server you are on, but I haven't noticed any lag affecting my gameplay for some weeks now. The week after F2P launch was pretty bad, and I'm quite forgiving about these things. But I'm very surprised you are still having problems.	
----
			I think there have been some occasional lag spikes but nothing even nearing "unplayable" I mean, I was raiding 4+hours almost every day since tuesday and haven't noticed anything besides a few DCs and one or two lag spikes total.Might wanna provide them with more info like the server/zones/frequency/etc if you actually want them to look into it, because I'm unaware of any issues at least.

Do you run AMD OP? :)
 
Also, that sucks :(	
----
			No lag for me at all and I have been playing a shit load over the past 3 weeks.	
----
			My experience has been that I have had no lag for two weeks, then there was lag for about two days-- mostly in Thayd, which really only made Challenges annoying-- and since then, the lag has disappeared again. I am currently lag-less.	
----
			I have yet to experience lag, but I've had my share of disconnects.

*cries* I miss him already! 
 
But yeah, I play a lot.  I mean A LOT.  I am on Entity 2 as when the f2p launched there were queues to log in on Entity 1, horrible lag, etc. so I voluntarily moved my characters to Entity 2. 
 
I have zero lag anymore.  Oh sure, I did have lag a few weeks back.  While questing in Whitevale, game would pause periodically.  IT was quite annoying.  I even posted asking for server reboot as that weekend, by sunday night it was horrible.  I had a couple of days of one or two quick lag spikes (like a second or so) but since then, zero.
 
Now I have also had a couple of disconnects, but you know what, I have sometimes crappy internet here.  There are times it just stops working.  SO I can not blame Wildstar for those.
 
But lag . . . not seen it in several weeks.  Did I mention I play a LOT?  Like hours per day lot?  Wake up, log in for a couple of hours, do some chores, log back in for a couple more, get food, do a few more, etc.  so all in all the last week or so I have been on easily 8 hours a day.  Zero lag.  This is on an AMD computer for the most part.  Not a cutting edge one either.  Heck I even had graphics cranked up to ultra high the other day and except for a few pauses when areas loaded it still played quite well.  I have leveled 3 characters to 50 (They were pre f2p and around level 30). I have done dailies, vet expeditions, lots of housing stuff (I built a treehouse! :)  all while not seeing any lag.
 
So, I am not seeing this horrible, aweful, game killing want to poke your own eyes out lag.
 
Could it be that you purposely went to the highest population server?  Could it be that you refused to voluntarily free transfer to the less populated and lag free one?  Could it be that perhaps this horrible lag is because you refused to do anything on your end that would fix the lag?   See, Carbine DID do something to help with the lag right away when it was at its worse.  They opened new servers.  Actually they cloned the existing servers instead of just spinning up all new ones.  You know why?  SO that when they get the coding right, etc. they will merge them back together.
 
SO there was something you could do to help the lag on your end.  It was/is free and takes all of about an hour or so as long as you do not have any issues (like active auctions). 
 
Now most times I am one of the people who say that every exit post should be looked at and try to figure out why they left as it is bad for the game to loose players.  IF everyone who posts actually represents a demographic of the game, you want to keep all the players you can.  I want the game to succeed.  I really love this game and think it has AWESOME potential.  I am really happy that there was so huge a influx of players that the servers were slammed.  I wish Carbine had locked out the main servers and forced people to roll on the new ones to help stop the continuing lag issues going on there as I know the lag has cost us players and given the game a bad rep for it.
 
But the time comes when you have to say WTH.
 
SO yeah, no sympathy here.  Cya and do not let the door hit yer butt on the way out.

What kind of crap standards do we have around here?!?
----
			I used to DC on wow WAY more than I DC on wildstar.

There's a noticably thick line between having "crap standards" and just not overreacting about the occasional hiccup. If you play for several hours and you only get two instances of lag where there was (maybe) a 10 second stall, is it really having crap standards to not think that's a big deal? And when you disconnect, the game gives you time to immediately log back into your character with no loss in progress, and that takes like 10 seconds, too.
 
You "giving Sega ultimate shit" for disconnecting once every 3 months sounds way, way more ridiculous, personally. That's not really a standard to hold other people by.

I don't get any lag either.
Maybe the op should contact support and give them more info about his system
and net configuration so they can help?

Hey guys, op here. For those asking:
 
I don't run amd but Intel (i5 4490 I think, its nice)
 
I was an exile in entity 1 server and lagged in Galeras and then in Whitevale most of all. (There was about a week when Whitevale was fine to play tho, it went to hell with the last patch)
 
Anyway, I'm giving gw2 another shot right now. Unsurprisingly, it works perfectly, no lag at all. So yes, the problem IS Wildstar, not my system or isp. 
 
In any case I still like ws combat more, but I'm warming up to gw and I quite like the character I made. Hate the ftp restrictions tho, ws ftp is so good. :(
 
I may be back if they sort this lag problem, in the meantime I'll be hanging out in gw2. 
 
Take care all.

No worries Mostlyharmless(that'd be a great pvp name btw hehe). It's good that you enjoyed the game and I hope you'll return shortly. The lag issue seems to be off and on sadly like they'll fix it one week and then BOOP it's back again another to me.  To add to that Whitevale and Malgrave seem to always have issues with lag now that I think about it really.
 
Only thing I can recommend is that maybe pop in and see how the servers doing and if it's too laggy then boop on over to GW2.Regardless of anything I hope that you enjoy your time wherever you are

What is wrong with this picture?!?!
Didn't notice anything except a few dcs and 1-2 lag spikes.
While doing content that has been a lot less hit by lag (open world definitely worst than dungeon type content ever since they fixed the horrible loot lag that made everything a nightmare).
 
You hear yourself, man?!
 
What kind of crap standards do we have around here?!?
I give Sega ultimate shit if I DC once every 3 months and that is genuinely also my fault for playing in Canada on Japanese servers. And yet a few dcs and a couple lags are A-OK?
 
I must have stepped into some twilight zone.
Wake me up when the world comes to its senses.

			I started a topic about it that went for a bit.  It seems to me (and several other folks) that the game's lag/connection is good (not great).  However, for some reason, Whitevale was just out of control unplayable lag.  I am through it, and now the lag is back to good levels.
