Guild Wars 2

Alright so Im currently in Indonesia for vacation and planning to play gw2 here, a few weeks before I already created an engi at an NA server will I be able to play with little ping lag? (100-120 is fine but It feels like that I would get 200-300) Currently downlloading the game, what do you guys think? should I give it a shot?

My love for GW2 is too strong, I miss my baby

200-300 ping? You’re quite the optimist!

Expect 400 at best. Spikes of 2,000 on weekends, public holidays, and after work hours when you have to share the line with the rest of the expats sharing your limited international bandwidth to watch Netflix.

(I live in Hong Kong, which has better service than Jakarta, and that’s what I have to deal with on a 100Mbps/15Mbps line)

The game would run reasonably from 300 ping, peaking at 500 ping. I play often on the NA servers, it does not lag for me almost at all compared to my Australian friends. Your experience may differ depending on the connection you use. Since you’re already downloading it, I suggest you just try the game out. Since you’re in the SEA timezone, chances are you won’t be playing during NA peak hours, which should help with the connection. Good luck.

Thanks for the replies, unfortunately my download speed for gw2 is 100kb/sec, going to take me a couple of days perhaps 3-5 to actualy pay the game, and by then Im returning to Canada. Essentially there is no point downloading it on this laptop.
