First, sorry if this has recently been posted (tried searching for ‘server lag/issues’ and the like with no results(?)).
I play on Ruins of Surmia and at peak hours I get kicked from the server very often nowadays (due to client timeout). I have long load-times as well and certain times when the client times out before the map is loaded, skill lag is very common at peak hours too. These things I usually did not have any issues with.
At non-peak hours everything is smooth and fast as it should be.
It could be my machine maybe (I am playing on a Mac where I have tried setting most things to low setting but that does not help the situation). I am thinking that it is too much data processing going on on my machine due to lots of characters on the map. But it does not seems to be better if I teleport to a less populated map.
If it is not my machine:
Question 1: Is Does anyone know if ANet is in the process of tweaking the megaservers so they can cope with the players wanting to play and that is why we get laggy experiences from time to time?
Question 2: Do you think it will be better if I move to another home server or is the megaserver system making that unnecessary?
This really makes for a poor game experience. Hopefully they can boost the machines, tweak the code or whatnot in order to fix this.
