Blanked out some stuff containing information too specific, but I've been getting huge latency spikes this past week and makes it almost unplayable.

How am i supposed to survive in a HC event with this kinds of lag?
This problem persist for a long time now. There is some phase where everything runs smooth. But suddenly you get this kind of lags and pretty much you are forced to tap out. And 2k lags is nothing, goes up to 50k. I don't know if this DDOS or routing issues or whatever. What i am sure of is that the problem is not caused by my side. Tried different PCs, differents ISPs in different cities, same issues.

Exactly!
Been waiting to play my first gauntlet, and this is the present GGG gives me. It's impossibile to play HC.
Will play somwething other then POE until they fix this issue, if they will fix it.
Thank you GGG for ruining my first gauntlet :)

It's so weird, what kind of archaic network technology is PoE running on? I can't have anyone in my house making use of the network otherwise PoE stutters like crazy, with bandwidth available, sometimes more than 50% available, router connections are not being choked (unless PoE is choking it).

With so many MMO's that I've played, I've never experience such terrible network performance, I am still yet to figure out exactly wth PoE does connection wise...

In my case all of my lost packets were happening on your end of things.

After a couple of hours it seemed to have fixed itself but it is non the less frustrating to deal with when you are starting to play the game.

Hey, any updates on this? This is affecting quite a large percentage of people, myself included.

Me too, nearly since start of scourge...getting tired of dying due to high lag, stuttering and so on.
However, assume GGG don't care as they are busy with the next league...

Same here !

this bug is back?

Just wanted to throw another confirmation of having this issue into the pot. Never had these issues before until this league. I have been able to verify that the lag will occur as long as I stay in an instance of an area almost every time (AFK for 30+ minutes and come back to the same spikes). For me, a new instance, or jumping into another area and back will often, but not always fix the issue.

Can confirm that it happens on both the USA D.C. and Texas servers. Usually starts with extremely large spikes (1000ms or more) and settles into pulses of about 250ms every 2-3 seconds once it gets going.

Could be anecdotal at this point, but I may have also noticed that when it's going to happen my general response time floats around 15-25ms and then at some point within the next few minutes the lag spikes start. Normally my response time is around 9ms (effected by peak times etc. of course).

When I started the league it happened very rarely, but in the past couple weeks has gotten markedly worse. The past 3 days or so in particular have been bad with almost every other area having the issue. Happens whether I activate the scourge mechanic or not. Would lean toward thinking it's due to heavy traffic from the holiday events (endless delve etc.), but can't think of a reason why resetting an instance would make that improve.
