Guild Wars 2

What kind of issue are you specifically having that could be related to lag?

Lag spikes, not often but happen probably 3-7 times a day (6~hours of WvW play), more frequent is just skill delay and general delay of which looks like a 0.5s-1s delay that happens ever 30seconds~

What server are you on?

Desolation

Has there ever been a time when you or a friend are experiencing lag, while others in your party are not?

Yes. Before latest patch, I was fine and other guild members were not, now seems like it has been flipped around with the 0.5s-1s lag described.

Has there ever been a time where one party in a map is experiencing lag, while other parties in that same map are not?

Not whole parties as far as im aware, but singular players yes.

Do you experience the lag at very specific times?

Lag from zergs, especially skill lag in a 3-way zerg (expected), however the main lag of the 0.5-1s lag happens almost every 30s or so. even outside of wvw (pavillion)

If so, can you estimate how many players are in each zerg?

30+ each zerg seems to do it.

Please Note: the lag I am most effected by as a primary ele within WvW is the 0.5-1s lag that appears out of nowhere. this is evident while using “Dash” in Snow Leopard form (jumping across map), or trying to use Lightning Flash to teleport (cast skill and nothing happens for ages).

EDIT: I know this post is old. Had hopes it would be fixed / further talked about. Hasn’t happened. Adding my data.

The skill lag in WvW is just out of control, so thought I’d post here about it a bit.

  • Skill lag, rubber-banding, etc.

Absolutely game crippling skill lag. Skill will not go off no matter how many times I mash the keyboard. In addition, moving a character becomes a chore because the server does not seem to recognize my movements right away.

Also, I can be right on top of someone, or another npc type mob and be swinging 1 to death and none of the hits will register. Some times I get an “out of range”, or other times it just doesn’t register at all and does 0 damage.

I.E. when I face this, it’s pretty much impossible to play a thief.

• What server are you on?

Tarnished Coast

• Has there ever been a time when you or a friend are experiencing lag, while others in your party are not?

Not a single time. If I’m experiencing skill lag, EVERYONE in the map experiences it. Almost never any exceptions.

• Has there ever been a time where one party in a map is experiencing lag, while other parties in that same map are not?

Same as above

• Do you experience the lag at very specific times?
  • For example, when 1 zerg is facing another zerg.
  • If so, can you estimate how many players are in each zerg?

Usually when there’s a 3-way kitten fest anywhere on the map, or if there’s orange swords of ANY kind even remotely near Stonemist Castle. Eternal Battlegrounds seems to be the worst as far as lag goes, and it’s almost always centered around Stonemist.

I’d say zerg size on tier 1 servers is probably anywhere from 40-50+ on each side, so can have at least like 150 players in a 3-way fight at any given time. When this happens, the game is pretty much unplayable.

Even if you are nowhere near the fighting, the entire map suffers massive skill lag. Honestly it’s out of control still.

You do know that Allie has left Anet, and that no dev will now look at this thread and do anything to fix it….

Lag was horrible tonight on BGBL for me.

Home Server : TC

Others experiencing lag : When I asked no one else was. I finally got disconnected for the 3rd time and gave up.

Specific times : Past few nights I’ve been getting unplayable lag from about 5pm to 7pm PST. After 7 it starts to calm down and by 7:30 I can play again if I want.

There’s nothing on my end that would throttle speed during that time period and it’s just recently started happening.

Probably true but if enough people are still having the issue after they supposedly fixed it then might not hurt to try.

We’re still getting lag and disconnects on BL’s after last patch on 7/15/2014… are you guys getting DDOS’d or is it a patch issue?

P.S. Now have Dev reply on page 1

Yes, but this thread is so long dead even a skilled necro couldn’t get any life out of the corpse.

Not only that Allie has left Anet so wont be checking on this.

Not only that, they fixed the lag for a while when she was here, but then a PvE patch was released and the lag fix was undone, again.

It’s a ddos.

Another night of unplayable WvW. Don’t worry everyone I’m sure living story is working fine.

Some idiot is bragging up and down on twitter about taking down Wildstar’s NA servers.

Hmm, did anyone topcheck? Oh wait, perhapse something is wrong with my suglasses.

Happy Wednesday all! Come chill and join us in WvW!!!

This is getting ridiculous.. second time lagging out in the past hour. Can’t even play sigh

This is the 2nd time in the last 3 days we have had servers going down in wvw. Can you fix this?

I know… it’s been bad for days with today being impossible to keep any connection.

If anet gives us their server addresses we can send them more info, but right now they are blaming player’s computers…

It’s not my computer – even Pandora is having trouble connecting today.

Can’t argue with a ping that can’t connect…

Well this guy’s is still ddosing ncsoft…find it on twitter
Name is itzchf

Wondering what has been done with the gathered information. The lag is still present and seems nothing has been done about it yet.

It’s a big diffrence man on the lag how it was before and it is now before you could get skill lag in a normal Blob vs Blob but now I only get lag when I go in a Blob vs Blob vs Blob so they have made a big diffrence, Dont get me wrong it can get better but still its a big improvement.

I dunno, it isn’t quite as bad as it used to be I feel, at least it doesn’t last very long and I’ve only felt it during blob fights on EB.

warrior Gro was first!

I don’t know if it’s because of the 7:11:3:191:101 error, but the lag is insane now in WvW, worse than ever.

The game works well when I’m alone, but as soon as I’m near a zerg, my skills are delayed by 2 seconds, I tp everywhere… unplayable.

Lag for me occurs when a large group runs by or is fighting near the position I am at on the map. You can definitely see the game start slowing down and chugging more.

I will give one example. I was in our map (TCBL – I am currently on TC US) when a group of 60 minion masters come by, each with 5 minions – that was 300 mobs for the game to draw. I had my graphics turned all the way down and the game still slowed to 5 fps (I have a Radeon 7950, an Intel i5 2500K, and 16 GB of memory). I feel if the game can be optimized enough so it won’t slow down to a crawl – that would be an improvement.
