Guild Wars 2

Do we have lag problems because a lot of people are creating a trial account and download the game? Or is it some other problem.

Have lag in any part of the game. Thanks

I’m experiencing lag as well in PvP, and it’s unplayable! 1/4th of the time I can’t do ANYTHING, I can’t cast any skills, I can move but people still keep hitting me! This is just ridiculous!

I am fairly certain that the lag spikes is due to the increased server load because of the culling removal tests. I went from getting 25-35 fps in the zerg to getting 10-15 in areas with no other people around.

Looks like I might need to upgrade my pc.

Same here on this end. At first I thought it’s my internet connection being a pain, but my guild mates as well were experiencing the same thing.
Constant lag spikes, big ones too, up to 10s no control over the character. Don’t even get me started on skill lag.
Is it server wise or something else, ‘cause it’s really impossible to play at this point?

Keep getting random DC grrrr any news on this problem?

The lag is atrocious and unplayable

The free trial doesn’t start until the weekend, so it can’t be trail accounts causing the problem.

But I’m getting really bad lag too. It’s very noticeable in LA and today I can’t even log in to a character in the Pavilion, I just get stuck on the loading screen and then it disconnects. But I’m seeing lag pretty much everywhere, even personal story instances.

Unplayable for me also, and really freaking annoying…

might i ask what region of the world you are in and suffering these lag spikes?

alot of the players in my guild from America are experiencing lag issues and disconnection but no one in europe so far.

A lot from EU as well… The game is UNPLAYABLE!

What the hell is with the lag?
Never had it this bad… 5-10 seconds for a skill to fire (both in pve and wvw), seriously you need to sort this out if you want the trial players to become full players.

Had a lot of lag when i was playing this evening (Western Europe) on the Gunnars Hold Server playing PVE.

Well lets be fair… we’re getting to comfy with endless quick fix patching after a game update.. so ANET decided to screw up the game before the update this time just to change things round a little……

But other news.. the gemstore is working fine – - of course!

the game has always had lag when you have a lot of people in one place smashing action skills……

It seems odd that they might not announce it, but they may be running some stress tests prior to tomorrow and leading up to the weekend trial players to ensure the combination of culling removal and an influx of some curious players goes smoothly. Just speculation on my end though, as I haven’t tried logging in and checking how it is for myself today.

We are aware of the lag issues and are looking into them. Thanks for your patience. ~RB2 #GW2

Glad its not just me. I lag so bad I seem to lose all control for 5 to 10 seconds.

I haven’t played in like 3 months due to lots of different reasons, then when I finally decided to log back in to see what the new champion loot is, I couldn’t cast any skills to even fight. 15 seconds later my skills start working, but guess what? I’m dead on the floor. I can’t even tell you guys how fast I smashed the log out button.

A lot of us on Desolation BL WvW were commenting on the lag tonight.And there wasn’t much going on.No huge blobs at the time as we had the map on lock down and only about 20-30 of us.
