This is becoming the norm.

Seeing similar issues myself. Been out of town for the past week and a half. Had 0 issues zoning, with no hang-ups before. Now...

Well, it's a different story. 10 toons all seeing anywhere from 600-2k ping. Very long zoning/loading times. Went to zone into Everfrost, and all 10 clients crashed to login after a very long zoning time. Loaded clients back up, now seeing 3k ping.

Started around 9:30am central time, now 10:10am, 12/28.

Edit: While typing this, I had 3 toons go LD after seeing a 12k ping. That never happens normally....

[TheBloodmoon]

Well, rebooted my whole system and suddenly I'm back to my usual 200ish ping, and so far so good on the zoning. I had 4 toons crash back to login upon first attempt to log back in (to Everfrost), but that was it.

A fix for crashing while zoning will be rolling out here soon. There were a few issues with it due to some old code that was used awhile back but we are pretty sure we have fixed the issues encountered.

I can't wait. I think the zones themselves have been better, but I was getting random crashing on zoning.

Pings still seem a little higher than normal.

I will try Nadox later as it seems to be the the worst when a large number of toons are loaded in.

Is there any way you can move either the raid events or the clue quest and / or Santa's quest to a different zone for now? Hard to do any of the events when it takes 5 minutes to zone to find out you crashed to login or your ping is so high you have to camp.

Normally don't seem to have an issue when no one else is in the zone before you zone.

We'll implement a fix tomorrow that should fix the zoning issue.

[Xorp]

could maybe extend the holiday events a day or two to make up for the standstill many have experienced with connectivity.

[Lillu]

Please give us feedback. The fixes are in again with today's reboot along with some extra tweaking.

went LD on all 6 after attacking the spawned goblin in crushbone, 6:30am CST 12-29-14.

Had to use stuck char mover, could not load back into crushbone.

98 in zoned when i timed out again.

Dec 29 2:10pm gmt -5
Everfrost - 24 in zone before I tried to zone.
Single zone in from Abely in Vale - ping 160

Tried rest (19) via Elyse - ping anywhere from 400 - 8k (normal is 149-156)
Single via Elyse ping 153

Can't even camp them out, have to exit application.

10 minutes later...
Restarted the game for 7 accounts - got all back in. Ping between 147 and 300. Started Winter Warlock fight -

ping up to 2k now on several accounts. 4 accounts crashed to login. Most of the others to character select.

Issue happened shortly after T8 Raid Event message so guessing they were zoning back out of event.



3:40pm - came out of Raid instance fine. Didn't get to see how many were in zone before I zoned out.
