Guild Wars 2

wow soooooooooooooo much lag

The skill lag in this matchup is really insane. Most fights over DB’s garrison we can’t use any skills. We are guessing its the same for YB and DB. Currently joking in TS now about running all warrior alts with P/T/V gear and autoattacking only. This is the supreme build when none of your skills activate.

So…it isn’t just me its getting it and I’m about to smash my router with a fork…..

I usually play on NA servers from the UK and haven’t ever had so much lag before…

I haven’t noticed any lag on YBBL. Than again I am playing with new toons so maybe I’m just not button smashing fast enough yet to notice.

This lag is terrible i get that the amount of people all in one place puts a huge toll on the servers but fight are being won by whoever has more people because each player is lucky if the lag allows them to cast any spells.

I am in T7 and the lag is insane. Definitely ANET’s fault here. T7 is not known for the lag.

Roll back whatever the last patch was. Please.

Absolutely agree here. WvW has become unplayable for me in large groups so my WvW experience is limited to soloing vet guards and caravans at the moment. PLEASE fix that. It’s ruining the entire game for me.

The patch per se is not the problem, at least not directly. The last patch made enough players come back to WvW that it’s the greater numbers (i.e, greater demand on the servers) that is causing the problem. It’s not limited to WvW, either. I can be doing my daily in the open world and notice random ability delays as the servers (capacity is merged for WvW) attempt to dynamically redistribute capacity to handle a sudden large fight in some tier or other. Typically the open world lag is just a fraction of a second, but sometimes it is much more than that.

This is what we get from a generations-old game engine, too little server capacity, and not enough server-side network bandwidth. If ANet was willing to fix any of that they could have by now, but since they haven’t I suspect that they’ve decided it’s more prudent to let player dissatisfaction solve the problem for them as players bail and reduce the numbers again.

I’ve been having the same issue several times. Whenever I get into a WvW map with over 80+ people on each side I experience maior skill lagg. I try to pop my heal while running away from the enemy, nothing happens. Ten seconds later I get reverted to my earlier position and I’m now dead? What the kitten? How is it possible you get hit by lagg, try to run away and apparently your character doesn’t even react to your commands?
I honestly think removing culling was a great fix of the situation, but now Anet has to address the skill lagg, which has become unbearable in populated WvW maps.
Fyi: I never have this issue in PvE maps, but the moment I join in in heavily populated WvW maps and I get anywhere near the big zergs, the lagg hits me and everything becomes total chaos.

EDIT: My server is Gandara.

GH v DZ v RoF had major lag spikes and disconnects last night (reset night) thats T7 EU.

Tier 1 EU is becoming unplayable with the massive lags due to gigantic blob fights, something must be done to address this real quick, what could be a challenge for guilds to overcome, trying to beat those blobs with less numbers, it just frustrates people because it has nothing to do with skill, just numbers spamming auto attack.

Do something about this please…

I love the fact that you can now see huge zergs. The fact that skill lag prevents you from doing anything about it annoys me. I play for fun, and being annoyed half the time is not fun. Gonna go spvp until they fix it.

Oh, btw, they’ve already stated that skill lag is caused by maxed cpus on the server that you are currently playing on. It is strictly a matter of not enough horse power on their servers.

Can you send us the post stating this?
