Guild Wars 2

just checking if any one is having the same problem…
for the last 3 days i have been experiencing high lag in this part of the game, constant lag with occasional spikes, ppl warping every ware, ability lag, chat lag…

I thought it was a prob with my pc or ISP but i have tested everything and it appears to be just fine, i don’t have any lag in other aspects of the game as well as other online games…

anyone else?

I could not play PvP without losing my connetion, today.
Completly unplayable.

The last two days before were kind of bad,
but nothing compared to the problems I
was having today.

I am on Riverside, by the way.

still persists…

I have recently started experiencing video lag in certain scenarios – probably different than you are describing. Best examples I can give are in Khylo if a treb hits near me or in Spirit Watch if someone captures the orb near me (the big frosty splash animation). I think it is probably likely due to some sort of particle or shadow effect but I’m not sure. It only started happening over the last 2-3 months. May be different than the problem you are describing.

Engineers are the biggest cause of video lag – those smoke effects are badly optimized.

So I have played an HGH engineer and tried to reproduce the problem by myself in the mists by throwing grenades and zooming in – I didn’t have great success with reproducing it that way. Also, I used to never have any problems at all – it was super smooth – so it seems to me that something changed not so long ago that made things worse?? I think there are threads in the bugs forum about this as well….

i experience lag spikes in spvp frequently
