Guild Wars 2

As of several days ago, I’ve been having frequent bursts of random DCs. Today, I’m repeatedly “lagging out.” I don’t think this is just my Internet, as my average ping is 136 and other people with me on NA servers have reported being repeatedly DC’d as well. Anet, have your servers been having issues? Or is my home internet as awful as I think it is?

Try rebooting your router…had this a few days ago was packet loss my end.
Reboot all =fixed.

It’s probably level 3. Run a ping plotter (free download) and post picture here if you like. I’ll try to check back on it tho in sure if you don’t know how to read it someone else can as well.

My internet actually went down for several hours in between the last spate of DCs and today, so the router technically rebooted :P
But yeah, the most recent issue probably developed afterward. I’ll try to restart when my brother isn’t on the Internet, which isn’t often. xD

If the problem persists, try to change the clientport. GW2 uses the game port (6112 or something like that) as a default. Changing to 80 (regular internet) or 443 (secure server internet) may help…. it helped me when my ISP started throttling the game port Just add -clientport:80 to the end of your shortcut. It should look something like this: “C:\Program Files (x86)\Guild Wars 2\Gw2.exe” -clientport:80

I did have an issue in the last day or two with a spate of DC’s while in VB (I have the 64 bit client and normally am rock solid). Oddly, my group mate generally dc’d at the exact same time as me. I’m near DC (appropriately enough?) and she’s in southern VA.

I usually have PingPlotter running when the connection is acting up. With network problems someone else having or not having a similar issue isn’t all that helpful for pinpointing your own problem.

Yeah this is sort of true. However if Anet is having connection problems everyone would see packet loss there. So it’s reasonable to say you can use ping plotter to determine if it’s server side issues or not for another player.

As you can see in mine level 3 is having issues right now. But Anet is not.
