I understand that these things happen, especially in WvW where hundreds of players will be in battle with the server needing to calculate hundreds of thousands of different things at once.
But tonight was unacceptable and it has been getting progressively worse over the course of the last week or so. It’s difficult to explain just how bad the lag was but in my 5,000+ hours in WvW, I’ve never seen lag that bad, for that long. Usually you just wait it out for a few minutes until everything settles down but this lag was the lag that wouldn’t quit and it was having some extra weird effects on skills to boot. I was on my Ranger at the time and it was taking like a solid second or longer for my arrows to connect with targets which isn’t something that usually happens during lag. To be sure it wasn’t on my end, I asked map and others confirmed that they were indeed experiencing it as well.
I don’t know how one would go about resolving this issue but it truly was unplayable and that’s not something I say often. I left the map to do other things and I hated to have to do that when I had just recently signed on looking to relax and get some fights going.
Please look in to this ASAP, Anet.
I agree ping was over 100 from the map entrance in ebg slow reaction to anything input. in smc went over 150 ping no skill working in smc.
at one point got extra speed on skill #1 more then normal.
maybe some people use speed hack and it cause issue on the server. lag and bug.
also agree that Anet should look in to this ASAP.
I also add issue login in in this forum: Portal returned error: — l_c.rb 95 (fangamer:-1).
think they have server issue to fix.
What makes you think that the lag was solely something under ANet’s ability to control? Internet is getting busy and the infrastructure isn’t growing as quickly as the demand.

to put this blunty..
I play in wvw with a ping permanently at 130ms or greater.
stop QQing and get over it. Ping isn’t the issue.
try 230+ ping for us ocx players and theres more then skill lag for us. skill lag happens here when its 3 large groups fighting and its a horrible experience.
Dont worry!
Living World Season 3 is out today!
Personally, I always felt like the game was always rather laggy close to the release of a major patch. The release of ls3 might be the reason why

Yeah I find it hilarious. People complaining about getting 150 ping and I’m just here happy to get under 250 haha
Yes, the lag has been getting pretty bad for NA. And yes, I know for you OCX players it’s even worse and I appreciate that, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t bad for us NA players, or that our lag problems don’t count…so let’s put away the measuring tapes to see who has the higher ping, that’s not the point…lag has been horrendous for everyone…everyone has been dealing with problems like rubberbanding, skills not going off, freezing, dc-ing, etc., and I think everyone would appreciate it if Anet did something about improving lag issues in WvW.
I’ve also had lag since launch. I find it’s a bit better now after updating my drivers, downloading a nice cache cleaner program, and looking into my horrible comcast service.
But I’m hanging out on the lower tiers where it’s a bit better, but still laggy randomly. Feels like little spikes of slow then smooth then slow during large fights. We’re not talking 50 on 50 here in T4, like 15v30 maybe at most.

well for me my ping is normaly around 60. if I am standing at the ebg map entrance not moving and the ping is over 100 something is wrong. and if every one on the map experience this, then I would say that there is a problem on the server. before you would have lag cause by cpu bound issue, in big zerg fight(to many animation requiring the dx api driver to correct the hazard in high level api for graphic). but last night the lag it was by ping issue.

to answer your question because every one was affected what do every one have in common they play the same game on the same server. they all connect to anet.
It wasn’t just lag. I got several disconnects after a lag spike and I am sure it wasn’t my Internet connection. Luckily the lag didn’t affect me much when I was commanding at EBG. Playing 4-kit core engineer as commander with lag = hell
