Guild Wars 2

While I expect this post to get moved to the WvW section, i’m putting it here so hopefully players who don’t even play WvW can see it.

If Anet expect the upcoming ‘WvW’ patch to bring back older players and keep them.. then the increasing problem of lag/delay in WvW needs addressing fast, While the issue has been ever present over this games short lifespan.. the frequency that you run into this problem in WvW today is quite unbelievable.

It’s a server side issue without a doubt, the chat doesn’t lag.. infact it becomes quite active when the lag/delay is full on, it’s full of people complaining or asking others about lag.

Any large scale fight over a tower/garrison or bigger is getting messed up because of this.. 3 hours ago while fighting at garrison my skills wouldn’t fire for a good minute or above, the sole reason the fight lasted so long was because both sides were so lagged that we couldn’t hit each other properly with spells/damage.. it’s pretty bad.

I want this game to be successful, and to keep the returning players who come back every month to check out new patch content.. the lag has got to go, it was much more managable a few months ago.. barely noticeable at times in huge battles, now it is every single large engagement.

This happens whenever you get a lot of players fighting in one small area. Dragon events and stonemist castle are the worst that I’ve experienced. Skills will not activate even when mashing them for a minute. The only consolation is that other players are experiencing the same problem so no one is at a serious disadvantage. The problem does need to be addressed at some point.
