Guild Wars 2

Hello fellow players and devs
Since reset of the match-ups I’ve been experiencing heavy lagg spikes, whenever big masses of players were amassed in WvW. This caused my skills to stop reacting for 10 up to sometimes 30 seconds. I even got kicked out of the game 2 times during similar lagg spikes.

Please devs, either make the amount of players that can come into WvW 50 for every map (and add some more maps) and reduce all the values of defense accordingly or fix this skill lagg by getting yourselves some better servers. I can’t play at all, only thing that I can do is tap button 1, hope I tag as many people as possible and then hope I don’t die, cause my heal isn’t working…

PS. I’m not trying to be spiteful. I really appreciate your work Devon (& co.), you’ve done some nice stuff for us already, but skill lagg is just so hard to play with. We tap skills while nothing happens at all, so how are you supposed to consider who’s the better player if it just comes down to creating a lot of skill lagg and the one with the less lagg at that moment beats the one with the more lagg. Also would like to add that some servers like to use skill lagg to their advantage (Miller’s Sound did so last match-up).

Noticed this last night :C

They “are aware of the problem and are working on a solution.”

This has been a serious issue for a while for some of us though. For me, it started right around the time of the API introduction.

Some hours it is perfectly fine, others it isnt. But it seems like once it gets bad, it stays that way for the rest of the day. I suspect some type of memory leak may be involved in some way, but am far, far too lazy to alt+tab out and look at system resources. :P

Either way, you can look through the MANY threads that have been posted about it as well as the terse sticky at the top of the WvW subforum.

I have no idea if this is WvW specific or not, as I dont play anything other than dubveedub at this point. Would be kind of interested to see if its happening to this extent in other areas of the game.

Yeah well that’s the thing, the only serious end-game we have is WvW. SPvP is all about point-capping and has no appeal to me at all. WvW still lets us an option for roaming bigger areas, fighting other players and even giving us some rewards for it now. I hope they fix it, cause WvW is the only thing keeping me in the game.

I don’t know if it’s only in WvW either, but I think it might also happen in PvE on dragon events, where there often mass 80+ people.

Today I get dced every 2 – 3 minutes in WvW, including trying to queue up for it…
