Guild Wars 2

So, I’m a very new player – bought this game on Wednesday. There’s been intermittent lag, which has gotten exponentially worse over the weekend. These two days, the lag has made it hard for me to play properly – I’ll trigger a skill only to realize that it’s not optimal because the NPC has moved away, etc. Five-second freezes are common, especially in the last two days.

Anyone else having the same problem? Anyone know what the problem is? Is it because the Arenanet servers are overloaded? Or because other players are lagging? Does this only happen on weekends? I work weekends so if weekends usually lag I’ll just schedule my playtime on weeknights.

I can play play CS and other MP games on Steam just fine, so it’s not a problem on my end. I am in SEA, playing on a NA server (Stormbluff Isle).

Thanks.

I’m from Australia and playing on Euro server and the game is almost unplayable. I can’t do any group events. It’s been getting worse over the last month and I’ve made posts about it before but there doesn’t seem to be any real solution beyond just having to deal with it. My partner and I have now forked out for an additional account to test on the US server to see if it’s any better and if it is we are going to have to spend a pile of money moving our proper accounts over. All in all its turning out to be a very expensive game.

So laggy right now, are the servers getting hit with another DDoS attack?
