Guild Wars 2

The amount of times since the patch that I’ve hit a skill and it’s done nothing is really, really, really starting to get under my skin.

Since the patch, it’s been worse than during the last patch.

Anyone else?

It’s been an issue since last patch, and it has yet to be addressed.
Its infuriating. If I use Inf strike, RFI, or withdraw, it’s basically a crap shoot. Inf strike is guarenteed to go off .25s after I hit it making it impossible to actually use the skill tactically, and RFI and Withdraw basically get to decide if I stand there and get destroyed, or if they actually go off. Regardless, it’s a major issue negatively effecting PvP, and I can’t fathom why it has yet to even be acknowledged (beyond the fact that it’s been occuring for over a month with no fix, and acknowledging it would cause major anger in the community)

Yep, lag in PvP is making it harder and harder to log in, on top of the myriad of other problems plaguing the mists.

I see Red posts all across the front page, it’s growing more and more disconcerting that this issue is being completely ignored.

This is no longer a “Once every few games” issue like it was 3 weeks ago.
It’s happening
Every
Single
Game.

Obviously, I’m not the only one it’s happening to – can we please get an acknowledgement of the problem, and some sort of timeline to when it will be fixed?

I’m willing to bet the CC and SYNC playing for 10k didn’t have to deal with this problem, or else it would have been dealt with after the first round. Why have we been dealing with it for over a month?

Hi guys, I just wanted to shine some light. I had this issue a few months back. It’s to do with how your ISP connects to guild wars 2’s servers. Sometimes your ISP will connect to a multitude of servers before it reaches gw2’s server. This is an unfortunate ISP issue.

I fixed my skill lag by purchasing WTFast ( http://www.wtfast.com/ ) – I have no affiliation with this company. It fixed up my lag and actually allowed me to stream with no-ingame lag as well. Worth checking out if you take pvp seriously and your being effected by the skill lag. Free trail as well so test it out before you buy to see if it works for you as well.

I don’t believe that this is my issue.

I specifically use Battleping (which appears to be a similar service to the one you linked) to connect to a server in TX to reduce my latency, and still experience this issue.

Thank you for the information regardless.

Just to test, I went and tried wtfast – it performs similarly to battleping, and still does nothing to address the issue.

Thank you again however for the suggestion.

Have you tried a trace route on the guild wars 2 servers? There’s some topics here: regarding that info: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/tech/Lowering-latency/

Not sure if it will help you find a solution or not; but worth a look.

Take you character out of PvP, into PvE (preferably not lions arch) run around for 10 or so minutes till the world loads fully, return to PvP and try again. Some other people reported that this helps, I really couldn’t tell you, 300ms all the time (hates Americans when they complain about 100ms, com’mon man).

I posted about this here: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/pvp/Unresponsiveness/

I don’t think this is lag. This is unresponsiveness. I know when I have skill lag in world vs. world, and this is completely different.
