HoH Extra Lagy?

[Beatboxin]

Talked with a few other's on this and over the last 24 hours or so and HoH has become extremely lagy. I've tried at three different time's in that 24hr period to zone in to HoH and 2 of 3 times zone had 20-40 in zone and this last time I tried 7 other's were in zone. All 3 time's ended in same result, me spending the next 30 mins+ trying to just zone them out of HoH from were they zoned in.. My toons zoned in with 400-900 ms and it just climbed till they lagged out around 5k ms. I did not make it to any of the instance's myself do to the lag but was told the instance's were just as lagy. Been to a handful of raid zones in between trying to get into hoh and had 0 problems with all toons at avg 200-225ms so it is just HoH this is happening to but there is something happening in this zone causing severe lag.

I've experienced the same. Instanced zones weren't as bad, but were definitely more laggy than they normally are.

I noticed this as well. I spent a solid 30 minutes just trying to log Cadaveria on after camping her out in HoH. When she finally logged in she was at 1200-1500 ms. I had to camp her out again and use the stuck character mover just so I get get her out of there. Cad was the only toon I had logged in. Every other zone was at 190 to 200 ms.

I blame it to the weekend extra Internet traffic :p

Kinda off topic but does still concerns HoH are the lockout timers working? I have seen Chaos up a grand total of 3 times in the last month. Even if you stand there and wait for the timer to expire when you run up and try to zone in it says "This event has been recently defeated". A good amount of the other bosses are the same way. I don't remember what the timers are. Is it still 8 hours?

[Beatboxin]

Once you kill an event your guild is locked 8 hr, event's pop 6 hrs after kill to allow 2 hr open for another guild. Chaos used to put out a server wide emote that they removed to help prevent constant farming but IMO now that the timers are what they are we could use that emote back so when someone else kills him everyone else knows when he died and in 6 hrs would have a shot if around still. Just a thought for when his emote was removed he wasn't on 6-8 hr cycles.

May be my fault <ducks> First started killing him a lil over a month ago, have been getting one kill in almost every day, sometimes managing to find him up twice On occasion I'll go a few days without getting lucky and seeing him up. May be more awesome if they rethought the timers. Perhaps a longer guild lockout (12hr?) with a shorter actual repop (3-4hr?)

Darn you Rude . I think the lockout timers could/should be changed as well. I agree 4 hour repop would allow many others to have a shot at all the HoH bosses because the way it is right now 1 or 2 people can completely halt anyone else's progression unintentionally if they are constantly farming HoH. The 12 hour guild timer would also help with that though every other zone it is a 24 hour timer but I always thought that was a tad bit high if there are more than 1 person in the guild. Sorry to derail this topic about lag

I'm definitely also to blame here. If I ever find him up, he doesn't stay that way long. Sorry, Cad.

If Lillu would just put the rare drops on a djinn merchant for some ridiculous amount of Godly Points like 100k or so, I'd never kill Chaos again

Edit: heck, I could live with paying 250-500k points for chaos rares
