Major lag issues in WvW or just me?
Not just you…I’m BG, and I lag like crazy around large groups, which eventually leads to a disconnect. This only happens in WvW, and has only started happening within the last week.
No I am seeing the same things on Underworld.. as soon as any kind of action hots up (and doesn’t even need to be that big a battle ) then I get movement glitching, skill delays (yes we all know that has always existed forever) and game catch ups… I have a solid 24Mb connection and have never suffered lag in any MMO including GW2 but for the past 2-3 days it seems WvW has gone to the dogs.. large group wide DC’s near Towers, even in own forts, so not dependant on any kind of action you or I are in.
Worse the lag effect is also noticeable in openworld.. Southsun can be a joke at times when large groups of players begin congregating.
One thing that is beginning to really annoy me though is the dramatic slow down effect it all has when you are running around and get within a certain distance of some action…. you suddenly feel as if your trying to run against a tornado – as if movement speed in GW2 wasn’t snail like enough.
But if you write any kind of thread about the issue in WvW.. I will guarantee ANET will close it in seconds to avoid drawing attention to the issues.
I find it comes and goes. a couple of weeks ago I was getting serious skill lag and rubber-banding.
It seems to have settled down now.
Mind you, I recently cleaned and reloaded the client – which may be a factor in that.
