me and all the ppl on my guild got the same problem. the lag occurs during pick ours, while during the night/morning the game run just fine, like it was in open beta.
never had such lag issues before the release, now sadly it is just unplayable.

it can't be an issue related to the provider, since on my guild ppl are from completely different zones and we got like 3-4 different providers, and all of us have the same problem that occur everytime at the same moment. definetely you should look deeper on to this issue ggg, i can't accept answers like Henry's one.

Without trace routes to the servers from each person having the problem, we can't.

A guide for performing trace routes can be found here:
https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/361292

If you post them in a new thread, or email them to us at support@grindinggear.com, we can investigate the issue further and find the root cause.

I'm sorry to hear you're all having this trouble, we definitely want to identify any potential issues that may be occurring and resolve them as quickly as possible, but without proof to backup the claims, we literally can't do anything. :)

Ok some remarks:
I live in Greece (Athens). The game is unplayable from about 1 in noon since 1 after midnight. When I say unplayable I don't mean that I have mild desync. I mean that my (usual) ping of about 80 spikes to infinity (literally) in regular intervals. The spikes last for about 5 seconds each and I get disconnects about every 10 minutes because of the lag. I see that you ask for trace routes. Trace routes are COMPLETELY irrelevant for this problem. The routes are always the same. They don't change during the day and return to their previous form after midnight. The problem is heavy trafic on the POE servers during day time. Seeing a ggg person having difficulty to admit such a simple matter is seriously getting on my nerves.
Now on another note: I see many people in this thread that are trying to blame our (very shity in Greece indeed) internet providers. Some remarks:
1) I've never had any problems with POE before release
2) I've never had any problems with any game except POE (although my ping is always pretty high at about 80 ms because of my location)
3) I've already contacted my internet provider so enough of that too
I'm one of the few that don't have the right to be very angry because I've actually never payed for anything in POE. Other have though.
Fix this

Also to you fellows going ITS ALL THE GAMES FAULT, many of us have no problems, so its more likely to be the routers fault in between you and the game.

If it was path of exiles servers fucking up, EVERYONE would have problems. That isnt the case, which means its routing, and between you and the fuckers you go through to get to poe.

If it was true, why the day before launch everything works flawless?
If was a ISP problem then i must have problems before launch. Right?
And why sometimes when disconnected e try to reconnect i see message
"Server full, queue 88 of x?"

Game unplayable, continuous disconnection and an infinite number of spikes.

There is no way this game is going to be enjoyable if this will go on.

For those who may ask, yes, this is from a wireless connection and no, no problem, packet loss, high ping or whatsoever in any other web application.

milano52.mil.seabone.net <- This is where most of the problems start in almost every traceroute from italy or greece.
