I've been having some crazy lag since winterday was removed, was wondering if anybody else was experiencing this. Sometimes monsters appear suddenly next to you, and when you attack, you walk to where they actually are. Other people in my party have always saw the same thing. This has been happening a few times, all with different people. Are you people having this too?

But tonight I had something I had not seen since Diablo and IRC, a sorta netsplit. I was running this guy through Thunderhead keep and had been experiencing a little lag, but all of a sudden it got worse. I could see what he was typing, but he couldn't see my msgs, heck i even couldn't see my msgs. I couldn't move tho i could see all the monsters getting killed, very strange. He could open the trade window, but i couldn't accept. Have you had this?

P.S.
To the person I was running, if you are reading this, you weren't scammed, tomorrow we'll finish the run, or you'll get your money back. Tip: next time someone is already counting ingame to see how bad the lag is, if he logs out, wait a minute, I logged right back in, but then you were offline

But we'll sort it out tomorrow!

I experience that all the time, I click on an enemy I wanna attack and then wham I teleport to it but im just standing there but in reality I would be running up to it, then a few seconds later it starts to attack...

I've noticed more lag than normal lately as well. I took a couple months off while I was in school and now that I'm back I've seen a lot more lag than before. Part of it I think is my system, but I'm able to play other games just fine so *shrugs*

I've had some "teleporting" - movement prediction errors - since I got the game in April. Can't say I've noticed it getting either better or worse.

There was a period late this summer when lag was real bad, with ten second pauses, haven't seen that in some time now.

This has been happening to me a lot lately. It seems to happen more often when i click to run instead of using WASD. I don't think I've ever been killed because of it, but it gets annoying and throws you off a bit, especially if you're in a "sticky" situation. It's definitely been more of a regular occurrence since wintersday ended.

I had a lot of lag yesterday. I rebooted my cable modem and it's now completely smooth. I don't think it's Anet's fault.

This evening we were out exploring and when we killed a monster and it was lying dead...I would run past it and then it would "shoot" me once and cause damage. The others did not see this happen. To them I was just running up normally. Weird....this happened three times to me.

I've never had lag problems before, but for the last two days it's been crazy.

Either that or the new henchies at Tombs are releasing Tachion particles that are screwing around with time and...erm...nevermind.

Its been prety bad for me in towns. Do you think this is because Anet is focusing on Chapter 2 right now and kinda blowing GW off for now?
