Woo... wooo! We survived the Catacombs

What about 5-10 second freezes after opening any door in catacombs ? I don't believe I'm the only person with that problem (tried looking at ground all the time, and various other tricks - it does help with lag in general, but not with door-lag). Even if I outrun mobs, I freeze at next door for 5-10 seconds, they catch me, and often kill me (got the same problem in SL static dungeons). Well, it's not like I can solo in there, because I can't (can't even solo Adonis ones, they absolutely own me through 2.3k evades and 1.5k AddAllDef - since I can't snare & kite in there) - but even if I could, I have serious problems with out-running anything in catacombs or static dungeons because of door-freezes.

Uster, there is only one door of that type that you must go through on your way to the boss room. If you manage to stay clear of the other doors that line the walls of the corridor, the type of loading lag you are describing shouldn't really occur.

Otherwise, I suspect you might have a performance issue with your system or connection (or rather, AO has several performance issues on most current systems....)
