Regarding todays quest

[Ioskeha]

Can someone help me fill in the lag-holes?

Even though I attended the quest I only got around third of what was going on because of the lag.  

At the start the Lady came, or so someone told me, and said something to send all of us to some bridges.  What did she say that made 40+ people all head off in one direction?  Because of the lag and not understanding why my character was were she was really ruined the quest for me.  I couldn't find a motive for her to follow along, and she's not the type to blindly follow the leader.

Once we got to the bridges I lagged really bad.  When I finally got to the final bridge my client locked up for like five minutes at a time until we went to the Planes Server.  From what someone told me a Shadow gave Rhizome something and then we climbed a tree to some shrine.  Then at the shrine something happened and a portal opened.  Heh.. I missed all the dialoag at this part.

After we logged into the planes to the Planes Server I ended up relogging because no ones models were displaying.  That helped lower my lag a lot, but I still missed a few bits of the story here and there.  I was able to piece parts of the story together from what happened at the final part of the quest but wasn't really able to participate...  

So, does anyone feel like filling in these holes for me?  Or did anyone log the chat form the quest and willing to share it?

My suggestion is to ask in-game. I know it's not your character's personality to do so, but what happened tonight, and the events that led up to it, are major plot things, and that's best shared in-game and in-character.

Have you tried with lowering visual effects ("quality")?

I'm sometimes doing it myself when noticing heavy lag due to high amount of players at the same place.

Normally I would agree.  Stuff like this should be RPed in-game.  Though the info I asked about is info my character experienced first hand.  Saw with her own eyes.  Her player, me , didn't get to see it though due to lag.  At one point I was ready to leave the group and head back to West due to the issues I was having.  OneST8 asked me if I really wanted to leave, so I told him why I wanted to.  In the end I decided to stay and ask questions about this quest on the forums.  OneST8 thought that was a good idea, so there's my questions.  Questions that my characters knows to answers to, but me the player doesn't.

heh.. I had everything turned off and was using the 16 Meg texture pack.  My lag problems were probably caused by my connection/LAN.  When my client wasn't freezing my FPS never dropped below 40.

One more suggestion then.

Enable chat logging!

  If you have time later this evening I will quite happily meet youto try and fill in the gaps.
  It is not something I would like to discusson the forums pages.
  I will keep an eye out for you ingame. If we are unable to meet I could also send you my chat log file if you want to read through that, but I think there is certain things you will still not understand even if you have read the logs files, which Jaccmight be able to explain.
  Regards Aragwen

Understood, and lag was icky. I'd take Jacc up on his offer there and just RP that you were so completely lost that you blocked out big chunks of events.

 Sounds good.  I'll be able to log-in in like 30 minutes.  I'll send you a tell in-game and see if you're free.

aragwen, can you send me your chat log?  I don't think we'll get to meet in-game and talk about this due to our time-zone differences, and I'd still like to know what my characters knows.  If you're willing to send me your log I'll send you a PM with my email address - don't use the one in my profile it's for spam only.
