Guild Wars 2

I’m sure everyone knows what I’m talking about by now, but for those who don’t heres an example of the extreme lag the game suffers from.

Since the second part of the F&F expansion, this lag has increased in frequency due to the masses of people flocking to every meta event in all the zones.

Now i have a high-end spec’ed computer with a strong internet connection which makes me shiver when i try to think of them casual players on the minimum requirement trying to complete these events. These giant ‘epic’ dragon battles and groundbreaking event systems we was promised 6 months ago have been reduced to a 1FPS lag fest taking15+ seconds to cast a skill.

I’m sure we all know this isn’t bound to just PvE, but also in the case of WvW. Stonemist Castle battles have this same effect on the servers and sometimes even just general large scale garrison fighting. I think the only place free from this curse is Structured PvP.

Usually i can grit my teeth and play through such times, but after speaking to alot of other hardcore gamers who have played through the hype phase, alot are looking to a certain game currently in beta that promotes its server capabilities and ability to have hundred of character models on screen with no lag or culling and see it as a cause for a mass exodus for GW2 apon its release.

When will these servers be updated?…

Like how you post a private video.

Also you say you have a high-end spec’ed computer , care to tell the actual specs? cause i don’t see anywhere near those problems you describe. I run 60+FPS on majority of times and as good as never drop below 30FPS, on near max settings

Maybe Anet should release their server specs. During one of their interviews, they said that budget for servers wasn’t a problem. I actually wonder…

I run i7 3.6 / gtx 660 ti / 15mps wired net

And I lag in open world. Skills are delayed. 2 weeks ago this never happened.

Its server side for sure.

An easy way to know if it’s server side is everyone would be lagging and chat would be full of complaints about it.

I don’t see that being helpful to anyone. Who here has actual knowledge about the requirements and architecture of server hardware to run a game like this?

I’d bet 50 bucks that if they do release server stats, the first post will be “LOL U need upgrade grafx card, NVIDIA ROCKS LOL!!!1!!”
