Playing on Kerguelen but it seems to be the case for a lot of servers (most of the fresh servers opened 4 days after the release at least + a few others it seems from player feedback?), all expeditions at least up to The Depths (didn’t try the higher ones yet) are basically unplayable because of around 3 full seconds of latency, making it close to impossible to dodge anything reliably, causing characters to desync constantly, teleport, miss the majority of their attacks and abilities.
The issue seem to be “known” Here,
sadly it seems like these restarts have NOT been applied on some if not most servers, the lags in expeditions being constant since the beginning and no one (at least on Kerguelen EU) seem to have noticed any server restart.
While Amrine and Barrows can easily be brute-forced with enough gear and levels, it is still an awful experience to paly through this lag, especially when it is an unskipable part of the game.
The Depths expedition in the other hand is much more impacted by lag and is basically impossible to clear from second boss with all the desyncs.
For now the large majority of players on these fresh servers are still around lvl 30 and only had to face the lag in Amrine, but once they all progress towards the next expeditions it’s gonna become a much bigger problem, causing the instance servers to be overloaded, making these players stuck (and probably quite angry) all at the same time, and then it’s gonna become a real emergency for the dev team.
Here’s in my opinion the beginning of the solution to avoid that: Communicate on those issues and start working on a fix before it’s too late.
