Guild Wars 2

Can anyone help address or just acknowledge this issue? It only happened to me 3 days ago and did not improved in any way.

Personal stories are unplayable with 5 seconds lag. FPS is still stable. In open world, I can still see normal people running their normal things, but for me, I can’t do anything else.

There are no firewalls or any blocking configurations. ISP is providing a decent connection with 40mbps.

Also, there is a reddit post that states the same issue that I am having, in the same area as I am, but with different (better connection speed) ISPs.

Can someone please help?

Nothing changed ingame three days ago. Updates are done on Tuesdays. That would seem to indicate that the problem is on your end.

Firewall and blocking aren’t the only things you need to look for. It’s also necessary to see what you’re bandwidth usage is at your modem. A few months ago I was suddenly getting ridiculous lag and we couldn’t figure out why. I got a program for monitoring in and out bandwidth on the routers WAN port and realized something was using all the upload bandwidth. It turned out that a backup program was not working correctly and was constantly uploading a file that didn’t actually exist, using all the bandwidth and disabling anything else from uploading anything.

If there are others in your area on different ISPs suffering then it suggests a common upstream provider having problems.

About the only thing you can do is run tracert to see if there’s an indication of high latency but if it’s past your ISP there’s little to nothing you can do, and if it’s not your ISP’s direct upstream provider nothing they can do either.

Yes, i would assume SEA is suffering from massive latency spikes…
I myself is from SG and i am having around 400 to 800 ping with spike from 2k to disconnect.

Connection is not caused by what is changed ingame like you said. Also, I am not the only one experiencing this. I have friends with different ISPs, using wireless and wired. Also, there was a reddit post that is very similar to what I am experiencing.

Yes, it is really baffling that this problem that is so widespread, is not being acknowledged. I don’t mind waiting for a fix, but I don’t want to be waiting in the dark if it is going to be fixed.
