This lag is getting ridiculous.
Yeah… lag spikes and dc, that’s gw2 for me each evening :/
My gameplay experience is not the same as yours. Just seems like you made a post to complain and bash.
Meanwhile no one in my guild complains of massive lag or disconnects.
Prob because you are giving the devs nothing to work with. Lag can mean so many things. You dont speicfy server, or time of day, or country, or post any other connection details. How do you expect them to fix something which has no details.
Have you tried a support ticket? Support have more chance of fixing the issue by direct contact than a forum thread which will prob be missed.
Yesterday (and the day before that) i got dc-ed from tequatl in the middle of the fight, after i waited 45 min to get and stay into a good overflow, i even taxied.
A week before that about 4 dc-s in fractals, one of the dc that week was on the third one lvl 50 a whole group got a dc and got kicked without possibility to come back.
Today, i waited about 35 min for a jungle wurm, got 3 commanders, things looking good, we got cobalt in about 50% of the health, then….guess what??? DC
so yet again i got thrown on some god forsaken overflow with 3 people on the map, because lol, there is no way i could get back into my old map because its packed with people who waited half an hour and didn’t get the dc.
I’m getting tired of this feces.
I almost never get lag, but I’ve seen some in Mt. Maelstrom in the NE and in Lornar’s during the omelet event with the Griffon eggs. I got some really bad frame rate issues last night, in Sparkfly, at the event to defend against the Krait attack near the Tequatl Spawn. And no, Teq was not up.
I’ve had this problem too OP. GW2 client is extremely sensitive to any connectivity issues.
BTW to anyone confused, FPS[Frame rate] does not equal lag.

You really can’t read, can you?

Maybe you need a Clue here. Lag comes from many places.
1) Your ISP.
2) Any router between your ISP and the GW2 Servers.
3) Maybe the Game.
So run a tracert then lets look and see just where the Bottle neck is.
To put it in simple terms. The Internet is like a big water pipeline. Is there is any sort of issues that blocks the flow you get LAG.

Nope, I read your post just fine, and then I commented that no one I play with is having the same troubles. My point is that the issue is probably not as widespread as you think and, thus, would be better solved by either posting in the tech issues forum or by putting in a ticket with support.
Myself and a few of my guild members had a lot of lag spikes when we were roaming in EBG a few days ago. It seems to only be on certain maps.
Right click your GW2 shortcut and select properties. Add the clientport option to the target:
Target: “C:\Example\Gw2.exe” -clientport 80
If you’re lucky, you might not experience lag anymore. Your other option is using a VPN. Apparently, some EU ISPs are throttling the game.
I run into lag every so often on this game. And no it’s not my line, isp or general area. It’s something to do with guild wars. But I’ve noticed a trend. More often than not, I always land on an IP that’s totally bugged to hell with lag and latency issues.
There’s a post in the bug forum about it, which is IP 161. It could be possible that you keep landing on bad IPs that always have lag. I’ve found a few from 160 – 169 are all bad for this. It might not be your problem, but if you land in this IP range, it might be why.
If you don’t know how to check your map IP, just type /ip and look at the last few numbers of the address.
As I mentioned, this might be the issue in some cases, but not all. There’s a few other IP ranges that also suffer from serious lag. I don’t have a note of them, but I know 160+ has issues.
