Guild Wars 2

Hello mr/mrs,

When the Beta Weekends ended and the game got launched I started playing on Desolation (EU).
I have been on BlackGate (NA) for a few months (Around the time when Season 1 started) and now I’m back again in EU, but the Connection between NA/EU are noticable.

I’m not talking about Latency but about FPS/Skill Lag/Time outs/Crashes.
- In NA I had stable 20-30 FPS in blob fights and 15-20 in 3 ways in EB;
- There is hardly any Skill-Lag in NA when fighting in a 3way of blob fights;
- I rarely crash randomly when play on highest settings (shaders/shadows low);
- Rarely time outs;

In EU I do have
- Random FPS (Lowest settings – same place/ 1 blob) then I have 20+ and other time I have 5-8fps.
- With high settings my game doesn’t freeze or time out, just gives me a random crash error in a big fight where I had 20-30fps and shuts down the game.
- Skill lag a lot more common.
- Randomly time outs (People runing straight/warping/unable to use skills-> Boots to Character Screen.

Lately I have heard that the EU servers route are insane, that it goes to multiple locations first and then to the server.
In NA in goes straight to the servers.

Q. Is it true that EU server route is that complicated what causes issues?

Rgrds Jack.

I am from EU.
I was trying T1 servers both in EU nad NA.
While NA I had some problems with latency, but not so big.
In Eu i have no problems with latency but i have problems with lags, skill lags, random disconnects and such.

Dont know about route to servers. Just my obesravtions.

Many in guild have been issues lately (last 3 weeks) but most noticeable the last two weeks.

We’re an international guild, although most are based in Europe, with a spread from West to East Europe, a few players from NA continent and a few players from Africa.

I’m stating our composition because people from all the different locations are experiencing what you’ve described. We don’t all use the same ISP.

My guild, got few days ago 2 guys from NA (they are from EU). Anyway on NA they didint get any random DC’s,lags,crashes, and right now on EU they got everything.

Same to any other,

NA>EU (prolly more money on US, than EU)
