Lag from people zoning into your zone
 

How/can this be fixed? Little jolts and skips anytime someone zones into my zone

I don't remember that ever happening. :o

What kind of video card? Typically it has to do with the quality of the card from all I can tell. Running normal I'll get issues but if I use SLI I have no issues.

Get a hard drive with higher rpm, and more ram so you're not using mostly virtual memory to run eq.

Get a solid state hard drive and have both your OS and EQ installed on it. You will love it. My HDD is now a piece of shit archive drive.

Intel Core,i5-450M (2.4-2.66Ghz, 3M/4 threads)
6GB Shared Dual Channel DDR3 at 1066MHz
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470, 1GB
500GB 7200 RPM SATA Hard Disk Drive

This was never an issue on any other server... others in guild have similiar experience/problem - I mean my specs should be fine right? Hardware issue? Settings/configuration issue?

Would appreciate any help here guys :/

It's devastating for bards and makes bard AOE kiting pretty much only doable very very late at night at the moment. And even then you're taking your chances.

Every time someone zones in, if I'm AOE kiting, I run right into it probably half the time. Makes it basically impossible to kill any kite that is big enough to 1-shot you, and that's most of them. This accounts for the majority of AOE kiting deaths, and that is saying a lot with the Selos-not-overwriting-Root-and-Snare bug.

This needs to be checked out for sure please, the bard community would thank you very much. Every bard I've talked to has this issue.

Died again due to this technical issue. It really sucks when it's not even your fault.

Confirmed. Im caster so it doesent really effect me but you notice when someone enters the zone.

I know what you're talking about, I dealt with it on live for a time. Upgrading solved it for me then. It's a symptom of either your cache settings, or a failing piece of hardware.
