Guild Wars 2

Not sure why its doing this but its doing it to me aswell…..very annoying and want it gone!

Yeah, the diving goggles are currently unreachable because of the lag. There should at least be another crystal on the top of the puzzle. The few extra seconds will help against the second lost from lag. It still won’t help with the skills not working 1 out of 3 times because of lag.

Please do something about the lag!

Lag and aspects don’t work.

Been having lag in Dry Top all night. Won’t believe how frustrating it is to get to the goggles when lag prohibits you from activating the wind jump skill for a good 1-3 seconds.

IP of affected server: 64.25.33.88

Please look into this.

the worst part about this lag is how flawed the zephyrites’ skills work, the lightning aspect kitten me off right at the entrance, I can’t jump to the stone ahead and it should simply work because is a TARGET skill, this is quite ridiculous. I also can’t remember how many times I died trying to jump to the other side of the quicksand lake inside the Inquest cave. The sun aspect also stuck in the middle of the quicksand sometimes.
This new patch is cool but I guess nothing can be really good in this game ahem…

Been happening for a while… bug report it or it won’t get attention.

Until Anet isolates it and fixes it:

Try quitting to desktop and restarting the client.

After I do this a few times, I luck out and find a mergerserver that doesn’t suffer from this mess.

I was having it earlier tonight too on 64.25.33.87. I had been playing in there earlier, fine, then went back to Brisbane to do the story there, fine, then came back into the zone, and was getting constant lag spikes, making it so that Wind Aspects were happening a second late, that sort of thing. I even did a ping against guildwars2.com, and was getting no dropped packets and nothing over 70. I’ve had way worse ping in the past without such noticeable lag.

I had lag yesterday, but today is really bad!!
I dropped dead, then I was suddenly back where I fell and other weird stuff

I know this is really bad at the moment for me, I’m standing just under the JP and then bam I’m hanging in mid air and floating to my death. Very frustrating.

It seems to be every time I try to use a crystal it lags to bits

Plus when I die I can’t be rezzed either as people say it doesn’t allow them to

Well, Dry Top is unplayble right now, and a holiday weekend…

I agree, unplayable!
Please fix the lag

It would appear that it has something to do with the servers IP starting with 64.
If I recall, lag like this happens when something keeps spawning (based on other games like Garry’s Mod and Minecraft). So maybe a ton of a certain NPC is spawning under ground, and the servers aren’t closing because there’s always someone in these ones.

I doubt it’ll be fixed this weekend, being the July 4th weekend and all that.

I can’t play in Dry Top, I keep falling to my death while trying to walk around on the cliffs.

I’m experiencing heavy lag peaks as well.

I just started having the lag as well, although earlier today there was none. Seems to be random rather than a fixed problem to be honest. But it definitely makes the map near to unplayable.

Found the same. Dry Top virtually unplayable. Noticed it last night.

/IP shows IP address: 64.25.33.44:0

Can we have some word on this please?

It is really unplayable, where as other maps are no problem.

Aspects don’t work at all, setbacks….

Someone forgot to feed the hamsters.

64.25.33.68.0 – Bad lag also

Myself and many guildies have been noticing the lag spikes since yesterday. Just logged in to see how it was and it was even worst today. Something needs to be done soon.

I’m experiencing the wierd lag. Also, cactuses that aren’t really there keep appearing.

Yeah, it seems as if only 1 server is causing severe lag issues to everyone. I logged off and went for some coffee, came back to another server and no issues at all. Then I had to relog a while later because my sound was gone and was dumped back in lag-central server.

So it’s definitely on ANet’s side where 1 of their servers is causing lag issues for everyone that is unlucky enough to get dumped into it.

Hey everyone, I just wanted to let you know that we are aware of the lag issue and that people are working on it. It’s possible that one of the sandstorms got a few geodes lodged in the servers , but they will find out and fix it as soon as possible. Hang in there with us, and thanks for being patient!

Thank you very much for the response! Great to know you are aware of it.

thank you so much!!!

So you’re telling us we’re at a rocky start but our problems will wind down. That blows me away…away….away…drifts in background

Ummm, on a holiday weekend? Thank you, that’s pretty awesome!

If geodes lodged in the servers can affect their functionality, then the servers must have moving parts. It cannot be fan related, because if they stopped and the server overheated it would shut down rather than start having hiccups. This can only mean one thing.

Hamster wheels confirmed.

I did 2 successful T4 runs today. There is no more lag for me.

Well aren’t you lucky…

Thanks for letting us know RubiBayer

WvW has been experiencing crazy lag since Friday and no mention of it from the devs on the post about that. Within a day once the PvE folks say it, dev responds. Coincidence?

brisban is no better off, i even died just by entering brisban.
mass health loss and no enemy nearby, something is really wrong here…..>_<

Notice the Saturday patch indicated you’d fixed the lag on a number of servers. This is just to let you know not all of them have been fixed. Was on Dry Top earlier and saw no lag, logged on to another character and the lag was so bad I died in the quicksand even though I used the sun aspect to cross – cam out of it right in the middle tried to use it again managed to reach the other side and could not get get out of the quicksand before it killed the character.

So this was on IP address: 64.25.33.38:0
Last time I noticed this was on IP address: 64.25.33.44:0

It’s a lot better now, but I’m still seeing noticeable delay on 64.25.38.233. Was just doing the Crystal Shard/Race event, and pick up crystals is still very laggy. I made an Inquest NPC drop their crystal, and immediately attempted to pick it up. The NPC had already picked it up and ran beyond melee range before my character even started the animation to pick it up.

The several second skill lag is gone, but combat does feel a bit unresponsive/delayed at times. I’ve also still had multiple instances of getting stuck in place using mobility/teleport skills. Getting stuck using these skills has always been an issue, but the lag problems seem to make it much more likely to happen. I got stuck in place 2-3 times during a single champ event in Dry Top this morning.

Nah I disagree, its gotten worse this evening again, I’ve tried various instances and its silly season on the jump aspects and lightning pulls, which are bad at the best of times.
Even got the issues popping up in story tonight…
The leap of faith dive point can be hard enuff to get to without this happening, now its just silly season there with dead appearing all over the place cos of the delays in the aspects triggering or jumps taking off.. but tbh its about par for the course these days.

Yeah, the issue is not completely fixed. It’s better on some servers, but last night I had the most hideous lag on my Ele, even worse than before. I kept on constantly rubberbanding back into the mine despite having run out many, many times. I logged out, went into WvW (which was fine) for an hour, then went back into Dry Top and it was gone.

I’m still seeing some NPC/player freezes in the Dry Top I’m on right now. It’s not as bad as it was, but occasional 1-2 second pauses and a constant slight, but noticeable, lack of responsiveness in skills is still there.

The fact that these spikes have happened while I’m running a tracert to the game server, without any noticeable effect to the tracert, tells me that nothing on my end is contributing to the problem.

Yeah, the lag was a huge mess tonight, like at one point we were fighting Tootsie, 5% p, the timer started up, I put in THREE Headshots, and other players reported also using stuns, and yet she still took off. There were also numerous times in which Wind Aspect fired off nearly a second after I hit the button.

Seems like it’s actually worse now than it was an hour or two ago. I used Heartseeker to close a short gap between to my target, and leaped the wrong direction to where it was a few seconds earlier. The de-sync issues appear to be returning, with the visible and actual locations of enemies not be the same.

We planed to make the jp with my guild….no chance:(
Today morning (CET) was the lag unacceptable….no skills no fun…just laying death
Will wait till its fixed

It’s happening again. Just died due to sporatic lag in Dry Top.

Map instance IP *.61.

Random Lags again, IP 103 (EU).

Started yesterday again but are worse today.

Same here, was actually better on the first day when it was released than it is today. Guess I’ll sit this one out for now.

I’ve seen people posting about this all week, but hadn’t experienced it myself. This morning was my first experience with it. Not all that much going on around me. Certainly not like a zerg at Maw, for example. And not ‘freeze frame’ type lag. Just this weird thing where it would take 3-5 seconds to do any sort of action, while the dynamic world around me continued to be alive.

Well I had a lot of lag two days and now it’s been gone since, for me.
