i recently have been having some connection issues lately and been askin around these forums and in game about what the cause could be.
One of the craziest responses i got was when i was laggin really REALLY bad along with another necro in uw.. and he said he was having massive lagg too..
and so we came to a agreement that the lag is serverside.. well i get a huge lagg spike (the kind where the baddies just stop and sit there.. then you watch your spells start blinkin and then end.. then finnally when all your deffenses are down the lagg spike stops and your dead on the ground)
so he dies next and says this:
"well no better way for a-net to stop farming then to lagg the monks prot spirit out"
I got a good chuckle outa that . but lagg has been hapining alot more lately. and so in the spirit of that, whats the worst thing that lagg has ever done to you? (ie: sold a stack of ecto to merchant)
What is the worst thing lag has done to you

This past Friday night I was doing Thunderhead Keep with my monk and there was another monk in the party and both of us had trouble keeping team healed during the heavy lag moments. I think there was a few times where members died because our lag was so bad. We ended up beating the mission ok since it was a really good PUG I was in, but the lag was frustrating though. And yes I think I have noticed server side lag increasing a bit lately (mostly during the weekends though). I do have issues with my pc sometimes because it is so old and janky. When I see lag problems and I'm not already in a mission/quest then I reboot the computer and it is usually ok after that.

Well, I wanted to do something on my ranger, and the last place he was in before I logged him out was Droks... which, at the moment, I cannot connect to. And, I was in the UW and the lag isn't the kind where your whole screen freezes, it is like the spells and other people in your party are still moving, so you can see spells flickering off, yet when I go to cast something, it won't go, or all the monsters will freeze and I will go zooming around the map.

running trough that ettin cave to LA. i come to the bridge where you have to dodge the grup of ettins or get bodyblocked. it seems that i get past them OK but about 4 seconds later i teleport backwards in the middle of the ettins at 1/2 hp and dont tell the group to rezone fast enough >_<

I was stuck in Thunderhead Keep for a week. When I finally got into a really great group, I lagged out on the very last part. Took everything in me not to cry.

So far, minor difficulties farming trolls, and long loading, but nothing to bad...

I have enough materials for my FOW chest. I waited on favour for America for a long time last night, then joined a group to forgemaster. We cleared the way to Forgemaster with only 1 monk because 1 monk dropped at start. And before we do the quest in the cave, some people lagged and left, we couldn't do that quest. I guess I must wait more to get my chest

Yeah I haven't had so many problems yet either. Mostly a few times in RA or somewhere lagging the first 45 seconds of the match and then find out we're all dead. Usually the worst lag I have during a session is right after the loading screen for the first place I am after I sign in. After that it tends to be alright for the most part.

Mesmer, domination/inspiration, trying to beat Thirsty River for Ascension. Avec henchies.
Framerate drops to like 1 a second.
I'm trying to interrupt the healer boss. It's not working. I think it might've killed him if it had... >_<
FPS Restored. (I think it might've been my comp's problem... graphics card has a habit of being testy. -.-)
The timer hits six minutes.
All the forgotten bodyblock us in.

doing d'allesio seaboard with my monk and the lag was horrible. my hexes went off after the mob died or just before it died. i wasn't even helping at all. first time i ever had lag and it was terrible. now i get some lag but minor.
Iraqalypse Now
was 2manning Dunes of Despair for 4 random people who were paying 5k each... lag was an issue the first time as I got my healing breeze concussion shotted and it was virtually impossible for me to tell and I died. The second time, I just beat the cutscene and both me and my bro err7ed on the archers on the hill after being paid 1k from each person.
really, really, really sucked.
really, really, really sucked.

Maybe this has happened to other people..and I don't know if it was lag, but since it only happens in Droks when its really laggy, I think so.

So far just running, running past 5 or so giants then bloop in a corner surrounded by them =0.o= They didnt hurt much but I couldnt hurt them, had to wait for someone AFK to come back so they could zone. That's the worst I've had with this batch of lag.
Preveious lag has ruined runs or kicked me from UW tombs.
Alot of my guildies say international lags more. Some of them got booted 3 times yesterday running, but we had dual runners to deal with lag.

The lagging kept teleporting me back and forth when I was trying to reach a certain location. Another one, when doing a FoW spider run I was running to get to the location, but started teleporting back and forth heavily. Then, I ended up teleporting to a group of shadows, got body-blocked and died. (-.-)
Konrow
yea i get teleported to random areas alot because of this lag. i just had a huge spike in the beggining of thk and then there was only 2 of us left. oh well looks like my ranger has to wait for the lag to end in order to beat thk
Kerrick??
Lag killed my dog.
Hunter Sharparrow
Today I was in a B/P group doing tombs. I moved to get a shot at the enemy when my character kept on running. Trying to move simply changed the direction but I wouldn't stop untill I got stuck amongst a bunch of minions then teleported back to a point where everyone was at the edge of my radar.
Also too many times (mostly in towns) I would get half way across a bridge then when I get to the end it would send me back to the middle. Most of the time it stops but once it kept on doing it. No matter what way I went, I kept getting teleported back to the center of the bridge.

Losing to around a rank 30 guild when we had them. Painful when you're the monk and you see things stop moving, but you can hear everything through vent.

Humm... Worst lag...
Probably when I was in HoH as a Spirit Spammer for a nice Necro B-Spike. I go to setup another spirit. Realise that I want to put it elsewhere. So, I tap "
S" to stop the spirit so I can place it elsewhere. Somewhere along the casting, tapping "S" I got a nasty little lag. Next thing I know I am now halfway in one of the gold pillars (On the Altar). I couldnt move out. I kept turning in circles. This lasted long enough for me to get wanded to death by an enemie Ele that obviously thought it was a great laugh. I saw myself die. Then, inspite of all that happened, I lag out to finish the job 0_0!
This also happened to me in Under World (HA). Setting a QZ for a ViM group I was in next to the wall infront of the bridge I lagged then ended up in the wall.. We didnt last long and I promptly got Wanded to death. I managed to get a SS of that one but since Im not at home I cant post it

The worst for me was is being in the middle of a GvG battle when a massive lag spike happens, you know were the icons start blinking, and you can see or interact with anyone or anything.

While doing defend droks I really did lag myself to death: Had lag, screene frooze was expecting an err7 any moment, then screen popped back to normal, saw about 20 empathy dmg things pop up above my head. And I died, lag freeze, screen back saw me being rebirthed and die. Lag cleared, saw that my brother, who has the same ISP as me, had err7ed already.
jmj102
This one time in fow, I just lagged up reallllllllly badly. For like 10 mins i was just standing there with my icons blinking. I keep typing randrom stuff and all that. Then suddenly everything i had missed out ie what i couldnt see due to lag happend really quickly and I caught up to the group. It was quite freaky since my internet disconnected.

I was running the flag in a GvG. I placed the flag and was trying to turn around and head back to our base. Somehow I ended up doing a 360 and running the wrong way. By the time I realized this and tried to turn back around, it was too late. I died pretty quickly, and my guild thought I was a complete idiot til I explained about the lag.

Hell's precipe - just this weekend. Much like the OP - we had noted some minor lag as we hit the battle right before the final with the lich. In the final battle the lag continues. (we had 4 people and 4 henchies). Then the lag spike - I'm an Ele stuck floating in mid cast. It was easily a 30 second lag and I thought Oh - no - not now....then lag ends - I'm dead - as is the entire rest of the party save one Human controlled Ranger. After a round of "WTF - OMG LAG!" by everyone the ranger proceeded to redefine "winnowing" by haning out with a long bow and slowly plunking the lich's health from half to dead and we won the mission.
Crazy stuff.
Crazy stuff.

Something I've noticed quite a bit more recently is that when sending characters Searside, it takes quite a bit for your team to join. I've had more err7s (for others; never timed out in a group myself) there than anywhere else. 12-4 ftl. >_<;;

Lag made me sell a 14-22 gold fiery crystalline sword of fortitude +29, 14 while enched, found in like the first week of gw.

Yesterday the lag was so bad that, during an Ettin run I have done sucessfully about 30,000 times, I DIED. Right there on the beach outside Ascalon Settlement. It was a very pretty resting place, I admit.
I was swarmed by Mergoyles and Bog Scales, and MEGA-LAG struck. First death on that run in like 5 months.
I respawned, by Farmer whatshisname, who had a shocked look on his face, and a very pissed Necro girl went and owned the map....the entire map, North Kryta Province.
But it was a good run: Sup Vigor, Sup Healing, Sup Marks, Sup Earth, Major Vigor x2, Major Absorb, Minor Tactics and a poisonous bow string.

Doing a Thirsty River run, just collected pay before we go for the Monk boss. Got 4 rows of minions, it'll be a piece of cake. We get up to it, lag spike, restored speed. All minions dead half my health gone and my team dead. Outbreak of "WTF MM U SUCKZ!!! GIMMIE MY MUNEY!!!" At that point I repayed them in a zone and just logged off, I was too disheartened to keep playing.
