Guild Wars 2

“Lag” can’t even describe what’s happening right now and lately in a medium (~30vs30) to larger WvW fight (~50vs50) – it’s a complete failure. 4-5 seconds (and longer!!) of skill delay it’s completely inappropriate, for a PvP based gameplay.

Test your game, your hardware and don’t stop monitoring. Learn from EVE Online or anyone, don’t care where, what’s needed for a large scale PvP to work. Just no words how bad it is the reaction form your servers. And no, it’s not our internet (it is sometimes), but this is about your servers: hardware and software on your servers.

Don’t just believe me or anyone: test it, go play your own game, pay people from around the world if needed, to test it — with tools you provide — it’s all there.

Wouldnt it be hilarious if they learned from Eve? Everyone moving in slowmo during zerg battles, lol.

I imagine that they are putting in some of the new crap ahead of time, and that has led to an issue with their servers. Who knows maybe by the time HoT launches all the issues will be resolved. /s

Bullet time might be fun, actually.

You know what the funny thing is, whnever I got hit by ti-di, I always thought it was just a mad lagspike until I noticed the little spinnign wheel and its color. And I was always thinking W T F is going on ?

I would love to see it here though, or some better form thereof.

I have to add that what I posted in the first post it’s not constant, but was on the day I posted that. Yesterday was fine. Even in larger battles, the lag was minimal. Maybe Anet needs a “Server Status” page, that informs us if they have hardware problems (this can happen from time to time, it’s normal), or maintenance running in background or similar. Testing included.

Off-topic, but the slow motion or similar solutions can be adjusted, to prevent them, by limiting player numbers, skill operations and so on, scaled to what the server hardware can handle. These are already in done in GW2 (from what I’ve seen in dev posts), but all companies can still learn from each other, to push tech limitations further, and especially what I meant there; to design software parts in such ways, as to prevent situations where the hardware can’t cope.

My ISP sent me a new modem since they claimed my old modem was outdated and slow. Installed it yesterday and had some massive fights in our BL, today roaming wvw and haven’t seen much lag. Not saying you guys are not getting lag but for me it seems fine.. Also things to note, you can actually play the game while it is still downloading in the background. I got less FPS while mine was downloading and the new LA was a tiny bit laggy but after my download was done and my FPS went back, everything seemed fine.
