Guild Wars 2

So.. let’s just get right down to it..

Since the launch of HoT, I have DC’d only 2 times up until last night.

BEFORE LAST NIGHT I WAS:
-using 32-bit client (which I assume was working fine, via my above statement)
-around 40ping (give or take 10)
-not DC’ing at all save for one near launch in Verdant Brink (don’t remember specifics), and a very infuriating one after commanding for the entire DS meta, about 20 yards from the end chest, which I couldn’t get back into because (I’ve heard?) you cannot join completed meta event maps?.. but that’s neither here nor there
-not having any sort of lag issues in any sort of game mode type

LAST NIGHT I:
-DC’d at the end of a Fractal
-DC’d in Lion’s Arch
-DC’d after getting back into the same (above said) Fractal
-DC’d at the start of the next Fractal I attempted
^^THAT WAS ALL IN THE COURSE OF 10 MINUTES^^ [edit was to make clear that the above bullets were what this statement refers to, and not the below]
-DL’d the 64-bit client after hearing good things about how it’s been fixing crashes
-crashed again after 10 minutes into GW2 with the 64-bit client
-didn’t even attempt to log back in for fear of ANet sending me a pile of salt in my mail

NOW THIS MORNING/AFTERNOON I:
-read a post on reddit about others having the similar issues last night and logged in thinking, “Hey, maybe the servers were messed up and now everything will be good so that I can get some play time in before work”
-have a ping of around 40.. wait, no, 3k+.. wait, no, 600+.. wait, no, 74.. wait, no, 1.7k+.. wait, no, back to 40.. etc. etc. etc. you get the point.. and that was while standing still crafting in Lion’s Arch, mind you, not in some giant meta event HoT map..
-am still using the 64-bit client
-have emptied my temp files folder/recycle bin (which is a ritual I do at least once a month)(don’t know if this bullet makes any difference but it made me feel better at least?)
-deleted the 32-bit GW2 application launcher from the GW2 folder just in case there were any conflicting issues with the 32-bit to the 64-bit

HERE’S THE REAL KICKER (also leading me to believe that it is not my internet provider or hardware causing the issues..)

I did a test on speedtest.net and here are the results (this is while having GW2 open at roughly 400+ping..)

(If this doesn’t show up on whatever device you’re using, I’ve posted the numbers under this statement.)
22ms Ping // 62.56Mbps DL Speed // 4.37Mbps UL Speed

From this, I have deduced that this issues is purely server-side (and/or possibly client based due to the fact that the 64-bit is still in beta, though rather unlikely).

PLEASE ADDRESS THIS (AND OTHER) LAG/PING RELATED ISSUES AS OF LATE ..because honestly it can be a ‘blocking player progression’ issue (for example) when you jump off a high point in Tangled Depths trying to get your last vista and your glider doesn’t deploy.. until you are dead on the ground.. (clearly exaggerated statement regarding the blocked player progression before everyone starts ragging on me for it)

Here you can determine if it is actually the servers or not. Most likely it is not or you’d see Reddit and the forums blowing up. Actually it’s hard to post or do anything on the forums when the servers are having issues. Anyway follow the instructions there and you can figure out where your connection is having issues.

Also this is more of a bug/technical issue. It will probably get moved over there.

I realize what you said about reddit or the forums blowing up.. which is why I posted this.. because they DID blow up about it last night right around the time I had this happen.. I even stated that in my post about the people having the similar problems.

2nd: i didn’t realize where this was supposed to go so I left it here.

3rd: I tried to do the traceroute with windows 8.1 and setup the shortcut, etc. etc. with the -diag at the end of the .exe and I can’t make it run it? or can’t find the results at least.. I did what they said to do to the T and I don’t know why (I’m assuming) it’s not running the traceroute or giving me results..

Help appreciated.
