Guild Wars 2

WTF is up with this lag.

could you give your problem in more detail? have you tried sending an support ticket? are you sure its the WvW servers and not your ISP, net connection and provider?

Yes it only happens in WvW and it also happens to anyone else near me in WvW.

It only happens on stacked servers with super zergs on all the time. That’s what you get for bandwagoning and all jumping onto the “higher tier” servers. We get no lag EVER or any queue times, unless we’re unfortunate enough to go up against one of the mega zergs. Lags as soon as their 100 man blob comes near us all at once in a sea of red.

Lol this guy ^ above me sounds bitter, many of us arnt experiencing lag atm, you should send support and ticket and post on the tech support sub forum, you should also follow it up with your ISP and provider

Last week I moved from ET where I was experiencing extreme lag over to Blackgate for a week. Then I moved back to ET after reset. The lag on ET was worse than on Blackgate. The average amount of players on an ET map during my timezone is around 10-15. On Blackgate its around 80-100. As much as I don’t like stacking, that’s not the primary cause of skill lag right now.

me + 2-3 players in my group and no one else in clip range, also not close to any keep.

A whole map can get extreme skill lag delay when there is a huge 3-way fight happening somewhere on it. The skill lag problem this month has also been exacerbated by some ISP clog somewhere in the pipeline to the ANET servers which is also causing DC issues.

While other tiers do experience instances of skill lag it is safe to say they have fewer problems with than the top servers. We created this meta of super stacking to the top and blobbing up when we do so I guess we get to live with it but it is not good for the overall health of the game and I for one would like to see ANET lower WvW map population caps along with some world population re-balance to help address the issue. There’s been a lot of threads on the issue these last few weeks so the best we can do is keep the pressure on till we hear some news.
