Ok, I was intent on pummeling the 14.6 forum with me begging for answers regarding the lag issues since the last patch. But now that they have closed that forum, (I guess they figure any further feedback on that patch is useless) I will begin posting here.
I hereby beg the great and wonderful, wise and all powerful, CZ to please offer some feedback, or even recognition that there are alot of people complaining, about the serious lag problems that have crept up in certain areas since the patch.
I will again state that no, I do not have a top end computer. But I have bandwidth to spare. Before 14.6, I had very few problems with lag. At times the frame rate was a bit bumpy around large crowds. But not a fun killer.
Now, in places like trade, and NLC, the lag is horrific. What used to take a few seconds to zone and start moving, is now taking a minute or more. And the problem does not end there. After taking the first step or two, tons of people (including myself) are reporting that after the first step, each step after that, for a good minute or so, takes 15-20 seconds to complete.
It has been brought up that it may be the new advertising boards that were put up in those areas. That very well may be the case. However I have also experienced increased lag in the grid. Frame rate has become quite choppy at times.
Customer support on some issues has been great. They took great strides to make changes to the NPC pets, which a large portion of the people were complaining about.
Now I would like to request to get even the slightest respect that any paying customer deserves, and get just a little feedback on what may be going on. Even to hear that they are looking into it. Even to just respond once that you freaking hear us.
CZ, I know that you are busy. And I respect that. But it has been over a week since the patch, hundereds of posts regarding this issue, and nothing. Not a peep. Please, for those of us who are finding it very tough to deal with this, respond. Thanks.
