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.

The clan is dead, but I'm not!
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.

I am not so sure about that any more.
I have an ADSL modem that was connected to a D-Link DIR-100 router so we can plug in our notebooks and the gaming computer. While using this configuration I had no problem playing any MMOs (SW:TOR, Star Trek Online, Lord of the Rings Online, Secret World, Tera) other than Defiance.
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.
PC - EU
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.

Experience the ShArkFalls! You thought Trion was jumping the shark? Wait till the shark jumps on YOU. ShArkFalls, available... soon.
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.
