I'm on PC-EU and quite a few events have lagged out. Last night it was a mutant incursion which never ended, so I had to quit the game, last weekend it was two co-op maps and a coupla arkfalls.
The servers were empty, so it wasn't because of overpopulation...
They need to sort their code out.
funny thing is i did all three of my daily conflict sites like this; fast traveling and all with out timing out. it made it way easy but i dont think the game is supposed to work like this.
On Xbox NA i had it pretty bad but it seems to be fine now.
Whatever's causing it, it ain't people's systems.
I have a high end gaming rig and fast connection.
They release a hotfix to mitigate lag, then the very next patch throws us right back into the hamster wheel.
It's getting progressively worse.

Monday I had a terribad lag in Defiance. I checked the router, but its internal firewall and anti-floodprotection were turned off (and as I said, I was able to play other MMOs without issues), still I decided to unplug the router and connect my computer directly to the ADSL modem.
Guess what.... the lag was gone! I spent about 4 or 5 hours doing sieges, arkfalls and whatnot, with no trace of lag.
I am not saying that Trion did not do something to their servers/connections, because with the router between my computer and the modem I was able to play Defiance without any major lag before July. But it seems certain routers/modems/etc. may contribute to the lag.
Not having any lag at all. Not even one bit. That's probably because I DON'T PLAY THE GAME ANYMORE, AMIRIIITE?
More seriously, I've always been pretty much lag free, the only time I remember having trouble is when they introduced Incursions, so I might log in tonight and tell you guys how it runs.
I was playing way before DLC 5 and never experienced lag or any sort of DC once.
Since the Great Patch and then F2P, it's all gone to hell.
Nothing's changed on my side, but a lot's changed with the servers.
Can't say for sure, I only logged in long enough last night to collect my daily reward and knock out a 'Control Grid' minor that was already spawned in Sillycon Valley before boredom set in.
