Guild Wars 2

Do not forget to comment

Great video, Lag Wars 2 indeed.

Thanks for your comment.

Yeah man, nothing more annoying than this!

No wonder ppl are taking break from wvw… (at least on deso last days)

Yea it’s really starting to get frequent after the last patch.

Several second skill delay lags is the common these days, very sad.

Wanted to do a bit roaming in EB before i log off but it’s unplayable because there was a fight at SM going on, had to massacre my keyboard trying to get any skills off but i failed so logged out.

That is the biggest reason ive barely played any WvW (and GW2) for the past few weeks. Its getting completely out of control, where you sit there spamming a button and just praying it goes off. And even if it does, and its an attack, its completely uncertain if you actually hit anything.
That target may appear infront of you, but actually he is already behind you. Which results in nothing happening if your lucky, worst you get the Interupt cooldown, or even worst full cooldown and all you see is Miss.

Its just unplayable.

Worst part is, I don’t recall it being as bad on launch… and WvW has lost a LOT of players since then.

yeah something is not going right since the whole guesting thing came up …..Even in PVE i am lagging like crazy.it’s nearly unplayable like that

yeh even in pve there is a lot of skill lag. sometimes it comes to a point where its unplayable. im taking a break from WvW and PvE until March patch. Nothing gets fixed i will say bye bye to gw2.

I’m pretty sure that ANet has been mucking around with several things lately as they test out what they can get away with in order to drop culling. The simplest thing would be for them to buy lots more bandwidth, but that’s expensive so they no doubt want to try various software mitigations as much as possible before committing to the bandwidth. Probably lots of steath trial and error going on right now.

I remember a while ago there was a massive battle in garrison and I was at redwater supply camp and couldn’t use any of my abilities so it’s not like it only makes it unplayable near big zerg clashes but it makes entire borderlands grind to a halt. So if culling gets fixed but not the lag problem then it doesn’t really matter as you can’t really play either way so I do hope they will fix this problem.

It’s indeed getting worse. I have been monitoring my PC and even at heavy complete freeze lag my CPU and ram are not getting past 50-60% and other programms are happely running in the background at full speed. Turning them off does’nt help one bit. In fact running the bare minimum does not change a thing including the lowest graphic settings. It’s not my PC setup though it’s not high end but it does run for instance Skyrim at Ultra High without to much stutter problems, and absolutly flawless on just High settings.

last resort is more then doubling my internet connection from 30mb/sec to 80mb/sec.

Anet cannot keep blaming it on the players end. For instance, I dont see much difference with GW1 Lions Arch and GW2 lions Arch (ok it’s bigger & more detailed, but it’s a city with only players running around, no mobs, only mostly stationary npc’s, no spell effects and hundreds of players firing of skills) . I never had any lag in GW1 LA or anywhere else for that matter, in GW2 i avoid LA like the plague.
