Guild Wars 2

Anet Team,

There’s a ton of lag on EBG for BG. We are fighting 80 man blobs with 40 and no skills are going off. Help please? Could we get our abilities to work please?

Thanks!

EBG… 80 man blobs…

There’s your problem.

Lag shouldn’t happen when only 120 people engage, it hasn’t happened until recently. Considering the situation, it’s not our problem. But thanks.

It shouldn’t but it does. 2 full blobs gets hints of skill lag. 2 full blobs and a third zerg gets definite skill lag, 3 full blobs and its a crapshoot.

It was about 35 of us vs a map blob, pretty sure it should be fine.

While u are at it, check the BG’s EBG queue as well. Right now we got like 50 people in the map, and a 25+ queue. There’s nobody chilling in the keeps, roamers or havocs. Something is odd.

hope this can be fixed. wow, would it be fun with no lag.

Post the server IP so there’s a record of it.

Ip? 161 and 162 were bad for fa/SOS/YB for like 3 weeks?

You gotta Alt+F4 and the lag will go away.

And to think if one of those 80 man blob separated into four 20 man groups and hit other targets on the map…..

Anet needs to find a way to increase the AoE limit so that the max blob 80 isn’t 16 times the max AoE targets of 5.

Discussions about lag making me wonder if the geographical location of the player may be a factor. My fps in T1 right now is 72. It’s almost always above 60 on a 4 year old frankenstien machine I am afraid to turn off, because it has trouble rebooting all this mess.

I get skill lag only occasionally and at random. I am geographically close to ANet corp offices. I hear people complaining about this while I enjoy full color, shadows, big particle shows and so on, on a lame machine. Not sure what that means, except there is unequal treatment maybe on the basis of something reflected in geographical hardware. blah blah

When in the fight, skills are going off 2s or never. Outside the main fights, every skill has a lag to it. It isn’t unplayable but really poor compared to other tiers.

I am not experiencing this. Some factor in my mix eliminates that problem.

Maybe I am blessed as an angel of water ele, but for some reason, I rarely skill lag in even the biggest fights.

My computer is Dell garbage can mix. All I got is Comcast.

lol. As a decades long software tester, I have to say like so many devs I have heard, works on my machine. I don’t have lag. Maybe it is just USER ERRRRORR

I frequently checked map chat to see if it was just me only to find a plethora of responses about how poorly T1 was performing.

FYI, I run a business line with PingPlotter going against the current server I am on. I generally see sub 50ms returns on about 10 real hops to the server. My machine is pretty beefy and has no problems running other internet games. I am also a developer with 25 years experience that writes N-Tier non-browser internet based software utilizing TCP/UDP and runs very high transactional volumes (10k + per second from all across the US and India). I know when it is me and when it is them is what I am trying to say.

you just have to press 1 harder!

If you’re gonna play in EBG, you gotta have a Necro in the Blob
That lead Guardian is hot but not for “Tarnish Coast Man”
So rosin up that Staff for “Well of Corruption” and let’s all Rumble
If you’re gonna play in EBG, you gotta have a Necro in the Blob

You just need more necros that fixes all thing’s.

Transfer down, problem solved.

Lock your self in the basement and go off the grid. No more lag.

I mean over all I am sure they can do a bit to help improve servers. For me being right next to the birth placd of modern Internet and HQ for the internet. Does help some what in preventing lag. They could upgrade servers and other stuff on the back end. Why do it when only one or two servers really have this issue. No sense in wasting money for Just a small group.

I’m guessing they are using WvW servers for Wintersday events again like they did for Halloween.
