I’ve been trying to do helltides all day today to no avail. I’m in WT4 and the lag is so bad that i quite literally end up warping around sometimes, my spells don’t fire on time or just don’t fire at all, sometimes, mobs do die, sometimes I randomly get deleted without a chance of understanding what happened. I’ve wasted an immense amount of time refarming cinders each time I die to lag and it’s just unbearable at this point.
Please at least for this season or until the devs figure out how to fix this horrible lag, disable cinder drops on death.
The whole worlds been laggy for me, not only did the screw the patch up theyve completly failed on server management as per usual. Id be more forgiving but the fact weve paid top dollar for a completely underwhelming and frankly amaturish product is concerning.
yeah world has been laggy generally too but it gets extremely worse in helltides to the level of unplayable. I can still farm renown side quests and whatnot and not completely lag out at least. While i have loved the game since it came out, it always felt unfinished and to be honest this approach to an mmo style game just didn’t need to happen. At least, the netcode needs a serious readjustment since this is just a major aspect of the game that hasn’t been working well for quite some time.
I agree. The cinder loss due to freeze and network lag should be removed until fixed.
I got an i5-6500, 16GB RAM and a GTX 1070. Not the greatest but works fine in solo and group dungeons. Arriving at boss and legion is just horrible rubber banding with short freezes. I’m afraid the graphics card is about to incinerate. The huge freezes though, sometimes crashing, happens in helltide and opening different menus, eg. character sheet and social.
Edit: I died four times and lost ~450 during one helltide 
Edit once more: Compensate me with platinum please 
I know this is a VERY late reply, but i have the same problem, just started now it seems. I actually died, due to the extreme network lag, when playing Helltide. On PC/Win 11.
