Hello!
 
I finially bought Wildstar.  Along with it I got the delux upgrade and some CRED.  I have been playing for less than a week (about 5 days actually).  Overall I really like the game and desire to keep playing.  I am currently a mythic/heroic raider in WoW. Obviously at lvl 16 I can't comment on gameplay yet. Three things:1) lag response is about 0.4 - 0.5 secs.  On WoW it's easily 10 to 20 times better.2) downtime.  Seems to be about a 50/50 chance the servers will be restarted/maintained/down each day.3) downtime again.  Really? Doing it the same night as WoW weekly maintenance.  Are you purposly trying to not have people who play WoW try Wildstar? Suggestions:1) Improve your lag issues or revamp whole game to make it fair to everyone... not just those within one city block of the physical game server.2) Communicate.  Put planned downtime on the game launcher app.  And please do it any other night than tues.  And.... overall please provide a more stable gaming experience.  It's not fun feeling like I can't do anything because the servers could go down at any time.  Please please fix.  I really like the game.  It would be a shame to be forced to leave due to unfair lag or downtime.

Welcome :) !
 
Downtime is kinda rare really, you just happen to begin the game almost at the same time as a big content patch (drop 4), so yeah there's been more hotfixes and maintenance than usually.
 
As for the lag I couldn't say, I understand you're at 400ms ? This is odd. On my end here in Europe, more than 100km away from my capital city I have 60ms I think.

80ms here and live 1000 miles away from the servers.
 
Are you in Austrailia by chance?
 
Oh and welcome to the game. Great to see another player

			Welcome to Wildstar! :D

Hello and welcome! 
 
As others have mentioned a large drop did just occur so there has been more downtime than usual. As for the time / day of week it was chosen, normally we patch well before WoW, and it's typically only for an hour or two. The times don't coincide that often. :) This week was an unusual round which you can see if you go look at our server status page. 
 
Are you using any addons that could be contributing to your lag? There's a lot of information in our AddOn section that could help you out, and knowing what location your playing from could also help us better understand what your issue may be :)

Thanks for the replies all.  I did get the latency issue fixed.  Still experiencing some patching downtime but it's understandable as explained above.  Would be nice to get more that 15min notice though ... just sayin'.
 
Enjoying the leveling.  NOT enjoyig 27,000 one-shot-death mechanics in lvl 20 dungeons.  Cumon we need to learn right?
 
Cheers
