Thankfully, you're not alone; this issue has been plaguing me for the last week and some change now to the point I was starting to wonder if it is indeed my ISP or something possibly being wrong with my computer / software for D2. Long story short, hardwired connection, 1Gig download speed, less than 20 ping, and these issues are still persisting wildly. I realize another comment does not do much to quell any frustration, but I am hoping for some kind of statement or comment from Bungie on this; I say that positively of course as I am trying to enjoy the game the best I can amidst some serious delays. Much like you, I am seeing delays with examining weapons, adding / removing mods, taking bounties too quickly, and essentially getting "Contacting" server alerts all throughout my play sessions without the game seemingly lagging or hitching. Here's to hoping a patch or some kind of help can be provided for this; Bungie thanks in advance and I appreciate any insights that can be shared on this.
