Four weeks since FTP started and the LAG on Entity 1 atm is really bad,
 
Do we have any idea from a DEV as to when these issues will be fixed?	
----
			
Yeah that sux. I have never had the lag except one time so i am not sure why a lot of people have it and a lot of people do not.
Well good luck to ya  :D	
----
			
Have you tried relogging or closing the client completely?
 
The one time I was getting horrible lag I either logged off or closed the client down completely, logged back in and was lag free.	
----
			
Jabbit is still a horrible mess too.
 
I don't think the issue will be fixed anytime soon. I don't say that to be salty and take a jab at the devs but it has been several weeks now and it's still awful. I honestly don't think they can get a handle on what is causing it. 
 
It's a huge problem but it's a problem it seems we are stuck with. 
 
It's a sad thing to say but I think it's going to drive a lot of people away. Wildstar got itself a terrible reputation last year and now it's become a laughing stock again with "Lagstar" being thrown around several gaming communities. The devs have done themselves no favours with this.
 
Combine that with the single character cash shop items and even normally laid back folk have started laughing at them. 
 
Had to laugh last week. Someone telling Carbine they had fixed the problems and it was time to merge servers again. I think we're a looooong way off having the servers merged. If ever. 	
----
			
Yeah, tried all that.
There are a lot of people in chat complaining about the LAG, so it is a server problem.	
----
			I haven't lagged on entity 1 in almost 2 weeks and I play on shit Aussie latency with practically dial up internet.	
----
			I am just giving up om this game, too much lag no fixes and all the fanboys want to blame it on anything but the game.  Devs haven't said a word meaning they have no idea what to do.  I have lost interest in this game.	
----
			I have been getting server spikes as well for the past week, for me its not too bad normally a second two. It is rather annoying but I am patient for now and when it starts to get unbearable I just go play Chivalry to vent any lingering frustration  :D

Oh please don't leave! We will miss your insightful commentary and shimmering personality!
 
Plus, I made cupcakes that look like little coffee cups! You won't get a cupcake if you leave!

HEY! Those are supposed to be for guild members only!  :P
----
			Lag spikes are pretty bad. Luckily for me I've been doing Shade's Eve stuff on my alts for the most part this past week or so. Don't have to worry about the spikes killing me. When I have ventured out into the world to quest, ugh. Awful. A fix would be super awesome.

			You should also blame the overwhelming amount of people who decided to overcrowd the main PvE servers, too. It's not completely Carbine's fault. I have been playing on Warhound just fine for the past few weeks. Only difference about PvP servers is that you can *possibly* get ganked or run into PvP in the open world. Big whoop. A lot of your experience comes from crafting, dungeons, adventures, and other instanced events, not open world questing. Of course I'll get some flack for saying this, but hey the truth hurts. Want your issues to be instantly fixed? Reroll on a PvP server or Entity/Jabbit-2 and even out the populations a bit. That's exactly what I did and guess what? I have no complaints! Go figure, eh?! It doesn't take that long to level back up.....

Based on last nights numbers you made to many ..... about 4 times to many  :blink:
 
On topic: Has CB mention any information on the status for fixing the spiking?
----
			So have the devs said anything about what they think is causing the lag? I'v heard speculation from players that omnibit looting causes the spikes. I hope they're trying to figure it out. I know the bots thing is an issue, but if this is effecting the whole server I think it should take precedent.

This is false, not only do i have warhound characters i also have server 2 characters for entity as well. I still get the same spiking issues.

			My wife and I both have played a good bit and for the last three weeks or so we have been lag free except for maybe World Boss fights. Just stating that to say I don't know why you are experiencing lag, but its definitely not everyone!

The best though was when ...

Get better internet? It's not false when I'm telling you I have been playing lag-free for the past two weeks on a 50mbps connection. I'm pretty sure I'd know if I was lagging a lot. If you're trying to game on a 5-10mbps connection then that is also one of your problems! I get it, self responsibility is too hard any more. We must blame everyone and everything else for our issues.
----
			Come on now, guys. Arguing is not going to help anything. :\ I wish we could get some official word on what is going on with the lag. While I'm not suffering much from lag, it's obvious that a lot of people are. A load of people wouldn't just decide to make up something like that for no reason.

			I would say start with a support ticket and do some trace routes to see where the delay is. It could literally be so many things, but I can assure you the lag is not server wide across all players. Must be something else going on (that may or may not be carbine).

			I haven't had any lag for the past couple of weeks. Figure it out.And yes, hundreds of people piling themselves in one server is definitely an issue. Like I said, switch servers or continue to "lag"Of course I'm "trolling" and yada yada. No one agrees with something if it goes against their own beliefs.

			I never said I didn't believe that you were lagging, so no that remark doesn't apply to me, too. I am merely saying there are ways to fix it. One of those ways being, stop trying to play on a full server full of people. Like I said, I have ZERO lag. If any lag, it is video lag, not latency-related. Is my computer magical or something? Do I have a superfast connection? No and No, I just choose to play on a less populated server. I just asked my guildmates on Warhound  a few seconds ago if any of them have experienced any lag in the past week, all of them said no. I didn't get a single yes from those 8 people. Would you like me to conduct a bigger survey? Also, if this was a huge issue, don't you think there'd be more than 10 people commenting here? They're probably in game playing just fine, like myself. So maybe the issue is on Carbine's side and maybe it isn't, but not everyone is experiencing the lag you're experiencing is my point.

I sent off a tweet to @wildstarops just a little while ago and got this response, Hi there, the devs are working on it, however we have no updates at this time. So at least they are working on it lets hope that a fix comes sooner rather than later. I haven't been able to join my weekly raid group for 3 weeks now and it's getting old.
 
 
edit: no freaking clue why some of the text in this post is in whiteout.

As I posted here: https://forums.wildstar-online.com/forums/index.php?/topic/145377-review-love-the-game-lag-makes-it-unplayable-and-un-recommendable/
on page 3 it may be issues with the physical infrastructure and not the game server software. Don't know if Wildstar is running on self owned or contracted infrastructure -- if the latter then they will need the hosting provider to get involved to track down the problems.

Just to update everyone, we did a server restart last night to help address the immediate lag concerns. We also are working on some other fixes and will update you when we know more.
 
Thank you for your continued patience!

Woot, thanks Yaviey. I have noticed less input lag today in Thayd, overall: just two weird moments where it spiked up to 5-10 seconds, mostly on bank or inventory interactions, moving items.
There are still some consistently laggy areas in Thayd, but I'm guessing you know about those and it's specific to those areas.

 My eldest daughter is getting married this weekend, so I fully expect I'll be out of the loop for most of Friday and Saturday.
