Twice this evening, I've tried doing the blizzard in Bjora. Both times, I was running around harvesting stuff while I waited and had the occasional light lag. As the storm approached, the spikes got worse. At the peak, I was having ping of 4k+ and would eventually d/c to char select. First time, things finally calmed down about 5min or so after the blizzard and I was able to slowly do enough to loot the NW corner of Bjora before it closed up. Currently in the middle of the second blizzard and can't even get into my character, never mind just stand there in the snow.

Had the same thing happen to me earlier. For the map I was in, there was no event going on; just Braham running around killing endlessly spawning foes in the camp. I was fortunately able to finally get to another map and complete that step but that certainly held me back for a couple hours.

Missing the node on my main account; it's available on my side account. One difference between the two appears to be that I didn't purchase the Grothmar node on the side acct but did on the main.
