Guild Wars 2

So I’ve tested this a few times now and it seems a few other people are having a similar problem – in WvW (Eternal Battlegrounds specifically) we seem to have much higher than usual ping and sometimes the ping will spike way up… WvW is near unplayable for me atm. I’m not having this issue in PvE maps or LA or anywhere else in the game, only in WvW and it’s been like this for over a day now. Hoping a fix will come soon.

Same. Land few days I’ve been noticing spikes from 80s to 800+ and then back down for a few minutes, and only in WvW. There are worse things, but during fights the sporadically brief rubber banding gets annoying. I’ve reset my router and modem half a dozen times since thinking it was just me but I’ve been hearing more folks mentioning it. Watching half a zerg lemming off a cliff and then zap back to the top is humorous though, except when you briefly don’t know where your character truly is for a moment only to lag-back and find yourself stepping off the ledge. Good times.

EB is known as lagging Map. It’s horrible when 3 blobs are fighting each other on reset day. But sometime map lags happen – and i think it’s an issue of the Map and A-Net Server structure.

If the PvE event on the border pop up, then here we go: Ping spikes. Everyone! Like on EB, it’s a map failure.

Yeah but these have been with nothing special going on in particular… just a quiet map in either the new maps, EB, or EotM, and the fights I mentioned are roaming skirmishes (likely the only action on map) and the zerg walking off the cliff was in EotM with maybe 20 people. And the spikes are fairly consistent — I expect them about every 5 minutes or so. I’m sure they’re not affecting everyone, but w/e. That stuff comes and goes. :P
