More DC's after the last patch?
…still improving…
Since the september 9 patch server lag and DCs have increased a lot for me. Often we’re on TS doing a dungeon and everyone calls out they’re lagging at exactly the same time. >_>
It isn’t limited to instances though from what I can tell.
As for your second question, I’m sure Anet wouldn’t mind it if path selling stopped, but I seriously doubt they’d make you dc on purpose. :P
I hear EU has been having lots of problems. As for myself I have no connection problems.
On Eu server have had lots of problems with lag and connectivity in the past month. I really hope they can solve the problem.
Some days are ok, but on someday I get disconnected 5 times in two hours.
I have definitely more lags and more disconnects in all areas of the game since about the September update.
All the 2 years before I had rock stable connections – about 1 disconnect in 2 months at most, or less, and no skill lag (ok, some in Claw of Jormag fights). Now I have about 1 disconnect per day and skill lags every now and then (on for every 30-60 minutes, I would say). Instances or open world PvE, all the same. I play from the EU.
It’s really annoying and reminds me of the BWE’s, where the connection was perhaps even better than now.

Are you guys posting in an active thread in the Tech Support forum? Or submitting a ticket? I think the team is gathering info on this, so feel free to provide the requested info if you want to do so. It could help solve any problems over which we have control. (I mean, we can’t solve issues with an ISP or an Internet backbone problem — the stuff that is outside our data center, somewhere between you and us — but with data from players, we’ve nailed other latency issues in the past.)

Every evening I had memorable lags or disconnects, I post in the thread in the Tech Support forum. It’s 3 or 4 posts already. Should I really open support tickets in addition? I assumed the thread is enough for this mass problem.

Yeah. Same here. Sometimes there are up to 4 people dc’ing at the same time. But…
“It’s not our problem, it must be your connection! Or… what are your pc specs?”
Bah.
On an unrelated note, playing a single-player for a bit helps releasing the stress caused by this unbearably laggy game.

As much as I’d like to blame it all on Time Warner Cable, it’s not all their fault this time.
I was in AC explorable path 1 few days ago and the team had constant lag and DC, this wasn’t the type of lag that effected one player it effected the entire team, players from different part of the world received DC and lag and the same time, an indication that the DC and lag are not a local problem. The most annoying error in the dungeon was that when the final boss reached about 25% HP we received a huge lag spike and 2-3 members got kicked from the game. tried to continue the dungeon 8 until we left.
It’s insanely bad, and not only in dungeons. A full group is absolutely necessary when doing world bosses because dcs are so common, I had a lag spike while waiting for megadestroyer (pre event hasn’t even started iirc) and when things started moving again 3/5 members of my party were offline. I dc multiple times a day, in open world, in instances, during big boss fights, and while standing around on an empty map doing absolutely nothing (camping eye of zhaitan pre). I’d make a bug report but the only thing my dcs/crashes have in common is that I was playing gw2 at the time.
