Lag in Maelstrom

Seriously. What’s the point of pushing out events when you have a broken game.

Can’t even weapon swap without the entire game freezing, makes the last boss on vet maelstrom real easy! /s

Fix your absolutely broken game before trying to push out new content!

Update: glad to know it’s not just me.. I’ll wait for my perfected gear till after the event!!

    Thought it was just me last night, vMA was terrible.

    Movement was like being stuck in treacle, and weapon swapping was awful.

    Oh, I'm "happy" to see I'm to alone, unplayable at the poison stage, each dodge out of flower and still get it, bar swap are so log, skill animation same, just made me quit the game again and go back gw2.

    Remember me the last time in South Elsweyr where while doing GS run it was buggy af, most of the roster including me end-up quitting the game...
    Why those latency issue aren't fix after so many year that incredible...

    I finished normal MA yesterday. Picked up at the spider arena and that went OK, but seemed slow. Then ran into noticeable lag in the poison arena. Not in AOE, archers down, full health, then BAM! dead.

    Thankfully, the arenas after that were OK. I may run it again because double drops are nice. But will nope out if it is laggy from the start.

    From Australia (ping 330ish) vMA has always had some lag for me, it always gets worse when events are on.

    I presume it is due to server resources being allocated to different regions of the map due to population influx.

    Cyrodil has usually had more lag during events for the same reason

    Yeah [snip] is maelstrom so laggy it's a solo instance so event shouldnt effect it so something is royally fubar.

    Yeah I had poison plants explode on me that I'd already gotten out of the way of. A couple of times I was perfectly fine and then got hit with multiple attacks that I hadn't even seen. Disclaimer: I am terrible at VmA, but I know how to weapon swap and it just wasn't happening.

    My favorite was when I got heavy attacked by something, and proceeded to just slide across the floor in slow motion for like 5 seconds. That whole place is a meme right now

    Performance as a whole has been on a relatively gradual but steady decline over the last year. Last 6 months especially.

    This stuff has been around a long time. The game admin has never been concerned, the amount of bugs and automated inane responses is testament.

    Lag is happening everywhere, definitely on Xbox EU, and it's not because of this event either. It has been bad for months.

    Thanks for the pointless response. Because of course MY MODEM is the issue. I suppose everyone else’s modem is to fault too. CANT POSSIBLY BE THIS GAME /S

    Your customer service is about as helpful as a chocolate fire guard.
