Guild Wars 2

Can’t even use auto-attack for extended periods of time (10+ minutes), nor any other weapon skills.

I know the feels…
Please fix this asap Anet, thanks!
Such a fun event (wvw season) doesn’t deserve this nonsense (lags)

This is the worst lag I’ve seen since the Culling Fix. Something seems wrong.

Is everyone JUST skill lagging, or also lagging in general?

Well this is probably as bad as it is ever going to get.

WvW participation was through the roof across all servers afaik so the WvW servers were under max. pressure.

Still, obviously having lags like this is undesirable especially considering how small the maps are.

I mean DAoC could host 3000 players per side with the zone being 100 times larger. And that game is 15years old.

I appreciate that nothing is gained by ranting; so I will keep this polite:

I have a relatively high-end PC.
I have an excellent broadband connection.

EB is suffering from extreme skill-lag and repeated random disconnects.

This doesn’t happen elsewhere in GW2, or in any other game.

I don’t know if the developers actually envisaged the number of people fighting in any given area; but it does seem that the game can’t handle what is happening.

Please try to do something about this; as I am getting fed-up with dying while multiple skills are trying to fire, and then getting the disconnect message whilst surrounded by lootbags.

Its skill lag, it was the worst I’ve experienced for months.

I was experiencing skill lag in simple 30 v 30 fights last night wherein I NEVER experience skill lag. Even with no other big fights happening on the map. I love WvW but this skill lag is unfair and makes the game unplayable.

#BBS – Buy Better Servers

Yes, it probably has more to do with everyone playing it on all servers instead of blobbing like the previous lag issues. What is weird is that this really wasn’t an issue back on launch, when almost every server would have long queues.
There was either some bad patch or ANet shut down some of the WvW servers or allocated them somewhere else when the activity there dropped, now that it went back up the remaining servers are overloaded.

I transferred to the lowest server and have had no complaints of skill lag since. I think the skill lagg is something to be laid at the feet of high population and zerging.

A game simply can’t put emphasis on zerging (making it the superior strategy) when the hardware/coding etc can’t handle it. That’s solely in the hands of the developers to fix either the lag or make zerging unrewarding.

make zerging unrewarding.

Thiss pleaseeee Anet! It’s so needed right now. :|

i’m getting reaaal bad rubber banding… jump off a cliff and land 3 times.

Disconnects as well…. impossible to play well in this muck, no footing at all.

Not just skill lag for me, but overall general lag. my internet connection is fine everywhere else in the game is fine and running normal but as soon as i step into wvw it feels like playing on a old laptop and not a gaming PC. In LA i can run max settings with 60+ FPS and in wvw with everything on low im around 5-11fps nowhere near any action/zergs, wasn’t even able to get a vista in green keep in eternal battlegrounds because the lag was messing up the jumps.

Also jumping back-and-forth when moving. Once as I was walking inside one tower, I suddenly dropped dead (as if I’d jumped off a cliff), and I wasn’t even that close to a cliff (1500+ range). Then someone somehow ressed me, but I was still in my original location (from my point of view, from theirs they must have seen me teleport or something?). This lag is like doing a weird map hack >.>

Skill lag + the crap lag caused by two crappy companies in america.

WOO!

WOOOOOOOOO YEAH 3 MONTHS STRAIGHT WOOOOOO!

I noticed the lag as soon as I entered WvW…no zerg in sight and my skill bar was flashing…huge battles were frustrating….even spamming 1 was delayed (worked 1 time out of 4-6 presses….forget about using any other skill…like healing your self.

Noticing most of the servers complaining about this are t1. You honestly should have seen this coming from a mile away. Yet you continued to recruit and pay gold to get more people to your server.

yeah skillag is soo bad that i cant use my temporal curtain at citadel if zerg is at garri. oi.

I know it’s Tier 1 and all you lower servers guys are going to laugh but I’m getting skill lag when no one is on the map fighting. I mean there’s literally no swords on the map and I still can’t use skills.

Lol, yeah, ported to cita, wanted to switch attunement … but nothing happend. 5 secs later it worked. Not cool.

LAGFEST season 1

Fix the kittening skilllag please

T4 here. Massive skill lag in EB.

Playing is impossible with this massive lag in Eternal and in the other borders. We do long queue and finally we play against lag? Please fix it. :°°(

1 vs 1 > enemy disappears (warrior) pops up again miss, miss, miss on both sides. It looks like a 5-10 sec constant lagspike.

Zerg vs zerg.

it’s worse then ever. see 1 vs 1 but then 10 times worse. got hit by ?? skills dont work, enemys popping from everywhere.

Season great initiative, but please let this sort of things out of it next time.

Every match up in every league is getting skill lag. Anet clearly stated that at max population in WvW zerg vs zerg fights would have this lag due to there server capabilities. I’m just lucky after a week the fairweathers will stop playing and the game will become playable again. Tier 1 is screwed :x which is why you should have used the free transfers!

I am so tremendously glad this isn’t happening to just me, but so terribly upset that it seems to be an issue now.
It doesn’t happen so frequently that it makes WvW unplayable for me but what has been happening is that my skills lag JUST long enough that I die instead of lagging for a few minutes. Every so often I’ll have skills lag out for up to 30 seconds + but more often than not it’s that they lag for about 5seconds which is just enough time for me to be killed before I can retaliate. Such as watching my healing skill flash repeatedly while I’m being attacked just to see it go off the second before I’m downed… Which is incredibly frustrating.

Here’s the part I don’t understand. We’ve had map queues on T1 reset for as long as I have played. But the lag at at reset last night and this morning is much worse. I wonder if they increased the map cap for season 1. In the past, skill lag only affected me during zerg on zerg battles. Now its almost unplayable even in smaller skirmishes. Zerg on zerg…forget it. Its extremely frustrating and not fun to not be able to use anything but auto-attack.

Well this lag is nothing new .. 3 zergs = lag fest.. this has been the case since forever.

However instead of fixing their wvw part of the game we see patches and new content for PVE popping up left and right. And even a new “league” system.

FIX YOUR CURRENT STUFF BEFORE U ADD NEW STUFF.
