Again, my point was to give an example of my connection to a location similar to Tera's server. Would you like to provide me with a detailed instructional guide on how to perform a pathping test for the Tempest Reach server IP? I could google it, but you seem very eager to make sure it is done right. I can't tell which is of greater value to you, helping the community get some results from the team responsible for Tera's server stability or moderating other players posts and experiences. I'm not a network specialist, maybe you are. If so, please post something that can help solve the issue.
That is not a fact. Some of us have no lag or technical issues . Nothing in this entire speech proves that is a server side issues you make a g ood speech but really it has about as much substance as reparable rousing propaganda.
every mmo you go to you see a subset of players who complain about lag / bad optimisation when other players are having no issues at all.
Before you go making a snowball into an avalanche at leas t have fact ... How many people are activity playing tera and how many are having these issues
say just for example its only 20% of the entire user base then its most likely not a server issue but a user based and or user isp isuse
I suspect also that a portion of that number is trying to "squeak by" on minimum spec and sub optimal internet connection -- which is where the optimisation complaints come in.
i have detailed my entire experience so far as well as my system spec in another thread here

Im probably upgrading to a Geforce GTX 1070/1080
I also have a consistent 52mb/s internet connection
So how does that work
How can I be fine on the same server that is ****supposedly*** broken laggy and poorly optimised for others .
If you have a factual and logical answer to this question please enlighten me .
I have a 6600k OCed and a 1070. Nothing that's lagging me right now has to do with my hardware. I'm sure that when everyone in a 30 man raid lags/rubberbands from around the continent and even on other continents (EU/Aus) are rubberbanding and are all on different ISPs, then there's something wrong with the servers.
Here's an example in RM:
Here's an example in HH: https://clips.twitch.tv/LitigiousFurryScallionNononoCat
There are also a ton of examples when I was streaming. You could see fire walls rubberbanding, lag during debuff swaps, [filtered], spheres, etc.
Let me give you an example, when you kill the bosses in Lilith's Keep, Broken Prison, or Ruined Manor, do you see the bosses' bodies just sat there for like 5, 10 seconds, then suddenly spit out the drops and drop dead unnaturally? If you saw it, then you were experiencing server lag. That kind of thing isn't supposed to happen, yet it happens almost 100% chance.
Loots from last bosses drop 5 seconds after they are killed, rubberbanding firewalls/move skills, movement desyncs - it didn't happen so much for me pre-valk patch so I was still having fun even though my ping is relatively terrible.
Right now it's pretty sad that the first mandatory thing you ask when going online to friends is "how bad is the lag?". There's always this small positive anticipation that the next day you play after you go sleep everything would be better; but it's been almost a week and this game is becoming more and more unplayable because of this.
What's worse is that EME is playing the silence game, that makes us unsure if they are actually doing something about it, or at least trying to (a simple "hey so this is what's happening" would really be nice), or if even they don't have a clue on what's going on.
you do not have access to server info and since the is a fact that different people are reporting no issues cannot with 100% certainty make that statement where your particular lag is coming form. yes there s lag ...its not a mystery that lag does indeed exist for some people ... its how many and the cause that is in question.
@canikizu @KentaGrace [sarcasm] of course i mistaken a fps drop for lag ...this is the very first mmo i have played and I know nothing about how mmo's work or computers in general geeze thanks for clearing that confusion up ....[/sarcasm]
how much is alot ? " its all over chat" are these unique people bringing up this ? is it the same ones ?
Lets try another example
lets say 1 million players play a game and 200 000 complain about lag or poor optimisation .
is that alot? Sure 200 000 sound like a big number ... not really it is not not when you compare it to 800 000 that are not having any issues
In reality it is only 20% of the player base and if the tech team is looking at that one could reasonably assume that the fault with the user in some fashion.
As no player has those numbers No one can say factually that its a "major problem" as far as game or server wide in the general population is concerned
Also its been said that i may be "closer to the server" that is also not a "server problem" but a user problem its not the "servers"fault you don't live closer to it.
and lastly " you haven't done enough dungeon" if you read my last post on my other thread i specifically state up and including Lilith which I only did once because I did not find it fun but even in that one i did not have any issues.
so don't try the "I'm just to new and don't know" the only dungeons cant speak on are broken prison ..and the "hard mode " ones but i wont ever find out because i have no interest in "hard mode"
But if you whole argument is going to rest on "but hard mode"....well then....shakes head.
My entire guild of 90+ confirms they're having server lag. My static and I consistently get hit with the server lag at the same time while doing things in dungeons and open world.

EME has already asked people about the lag and pretty much confirmed that it's happening in this thread: https://forums.enmasse.com/tera/discussion/13256/server-lag
20% of your playerbase having massive lag spikes from around the world on different ISPs is a massive amount. And when it's more than 20%, you have a serious problem. And considering that my entire guild/raid/global is all lagging at once, I doubt it's just a user error.
your response comes off as obnoxious to me.
