Guild Wars 2

Last couple weeks have been fine, but tonight on Gunnar’s Hold matchup been having the worse lag ever since launch!

So much for any so called fixes!

Yeah well, I can tell which AoE the opponent will be using as I’m downed by it one minute beforehand. That is something.

Many people on Jade Quarry have had several lag problems for the last 3 hours, on pretty much all BLs

Well there is the WvW beta test going on, but those are supposed to be on completely separate servers. Guess Anet lied again!

Yea, I’m not sure of the source of lag, but it’s been unplayable the past few days.

The skill delay on my SBI account makes it unplayable. My AR account has been running nice and smooth. I don’t know if Anet needs to lower the population limit again or what but they need to do something.

We weren’t capped yesterday – I don’t think any of the 3 servers had a queue.

WvW stress test?

I’ve had off/on issues in T5 the past few days. It only really flares up in combat for me, though.

Its definetly a new kind of lag that’s been going on the last week, consistent warping all over the place. Sometimes its completely unplayable in zerg combat. Dc for 5s, everything speed up to catch up, then 5s later it dc again, repeat. Even when such warp lag isnt seen, when engaging zergs there is a large chance it will dc for 20+ seconds and either drop you out or suddenly work like normal again.

Its starting to irk me.

Previous lag has always been skill lag and the occasional (but rare) disconnect. This is… horrible… in comparison.

Dc’d a few times and had quite a bit of rubberbanding tonight.

JQ is lag free tonight.

Sbi was a lot better last night as well. At least the bl’s were, I never went to EB.

constant 300-1500 ping. warping around like crazy and then massive spikes for 10 seconds. biggest ping at one point was 2200! REALLY FUN! [piken square, EU]

I don;t know what you’ve done this past week, but my ping and rubberbanding this week has gotten so bad, it’s even worse than way back in the times I started playing those First Person shooters, back in the early 00s and then as I moved to broadband; when it became more mainstream.

It isn’t down to traceroutes, the lag from this afternoon disappeared from 11pm BST tonight and I started pinging below 100ms.

We need to see Customer Support tickets for these incidents. Last night and again today, I read through an extensive e-mail thread and the issues were being caused by a variety of things, nearly always outside our control.

Here are some assessments from our Technical Support Team:

• I performed traceroutes from the Dallas datacenter to the public IP address and started encountering high response and packet loss once the traffic entered the IP ranges owned by [ISP name] Argentina.

• A traceroute from Dallas to this IP address begins to encounter problems within [ISP name] Malaysia’s network.

Clearly, not everyone having issues is located in Malaysia or Argentina, but when you submit a ticket and provide the requested data, you can see that our team will investigate the issue and will be able to tell you some possible steps to resolve it. (In the cases above, I imagine the player will be given the suggestion to contact his/her ISP, because that’s where the problem lies, but I leave advice-giving to the Technical folks.)

Sadly, I’ve noticed that with tickets of this sort, the player writes, the team responds and asks for information, and the thread is not answered by the player. But we really want to help you! So taking a couple of minutes to send the requested file would be to your benefit, for sure.

Thank you for providing this information and for following up on the requests from the team that enable them to help you.
