I'm duoing with a bst in Western Altepa, killing desert beetles, and we both are lagging like hell. FPS is approximetly 3.0 (same with the friend I'm duoing with), when I normally have FPS between 17-21. This is even more lag then I have in Besieged with over 500 people in zone,
and there are no one but us and an occasional beetle at our camp.
Is anyone else having similar problem? My internet speed is about 20MB/second. Any idea what could be causing this?

Check your background processes, make sure Firefox or your A/V or something didn't kick on and try to update...

Happens to me and a friend sometimes, too, FF will try to do an update and we'll both get hit for a minute or 2 while it's thinking...

That's exactly what I've been thinking. Because if I remember correctly the lag became worse after the last update. Of course, it could be just my imagination.

Blame Comcast. Always blame Comcast. Even if you don't have Comcast, blame Comcast.

Comcast is pretty decent to other services I've had. Cox is a horrible cable provider. What horrible TV and cable services... /sigh

And Bellsouth. Blame them.

Blame Charter. Worst major ISP according to the rankings on speedtest.net as far as internet speeds/price.

lol, don't even know what Comcast is, but I'm guessing it's some kind of internett provider. Anyhow, don't use that, but could it be the fact that we are on wireless?

I'm on wireless myself, and while I'm sure there is a "tiny" bit of lag from that, wireless itself is fine. Only way to really know is to hard wire to the router, if you can...

Interference from cordless phones/microwave can mess up wireless pretty bad, but from my experiences in the past, it either totally disrupted it, or didn't touch it, so I dunno...

The worst part is when I'm on rdm and main heal, and I start lagging....
Thank God no one died yet so far 'cause of that. Because of how much I usually lag, I dont even attempt of thinking on joining any dynamis LS in the future, chainspell stun with lag......

I'm pretty sure it is, I was in besieged this morning and about 30 people around me R0d for like 15 seconds then just popped right back.

This morning as well, I was in a meripo and all of a sudden for about 5-7 seconds I hit a R0 as well as everyone else in the party, thought we were goners, now the weird thing is when we hit R0, normally the mobs will continue to hit you and whatnot, but I noticed no loss of any of the members HP so it could be a full fledged server issue not just the player connections.
