Guild Wars 2

Been having terrible lag since the specialization patch all across the board: WvW, PvP and OS for scrims.

Not sure about the other game content because i rarely have time for it lately, but i noticed a serious increase in lags/skilllags and out of sync animations on Tequatl after the first phase since that update.
Kinda annoying.

I was monitoring my ping during Modnir last night. It was hold steady at 76ms and all off a sudden it jump up to 1894ms and then hovered in the 200ms for a bit then went back down. I was also monitoring my ping to some other site and it never climbed higher than 87ms. I’d like to see Anet try and blame my ISP for this.

I’m been having a sort of different issue. Ever since the patch I randomly drop fps to something like 15. If I’m at a large even it drops to 3 and is unplayable. Even if I lower the graphics settings it’s the same and it doesn’t resolve unless I completely shut down GW2. It’s very odd and has never happened to me before.

Its understandable to have lag every now and then, but its been getting worse with every single patch… but this patch just hit the kittening sweet spot for me.

I get up to 3.8-4k ping max, 1.5-2k average. Sometimes my fps sits at 0. What’s worse is getting lag spikes every 10-20 sec which last for 3-5 sec and this goes on for over two hours.

Yes my system isn’t very optimal and yes neither is my internet connection, but it has been getting worse with every patch.

I blame Anet for removing the condi cap plus their bad servers. I wanna do my GvG scrims and PvP, please sort this kitten out.

Same here. Lag that’s not been experienced before and frequent disconnects.
“But trust us and prepurchase HoT, it will be an awesome experience on release.”

While I’m not fond of the fps drop, the skill lag makes the game unplayable at times. Skills become almost completely unresponsive at times, like during large events like Karka Queen. I can mash the spell as much as I want, but the spell doesn’t activate. Hell, ranger pets weren’t even attacking. Arenanet, if you can’t balance latency for so many players during world bosses, put a stricter hard cap on maps. I would rather work with smaller groups and actually be able to use my abilities than join a giant zerg and auto attack for loot.

Just in case some white knight comes and say “it’s your internet!”.

Yep, sometimes I get about 10 disconnects in 6 minutes. A several of my guild mates and people in map chat are complaining about the horrible lag as well.

Edited for spelling

Same here. Random disconnects and sudden lags in pvp and wvw. Some of my guildies have the same problem too. Started after the infamous “holy” patch.
