Guild Wars 2

Now that HAMMER TRAINS are slightly back, we’ve seen an influx of returning players.

I’m on NA Tier 1 (Yak’s Bend), and I guess my experience will be different from players in T3 and below, but I’m constantly experiencing lag, to the point where zerg fighting requires me to cast skills seconds earlier, kinda hard when Teamspeak is real time.

I’ve noted that it’s only on WvW. PvP and PvE ping for me stays at a constant 40-60 range, whereas WvW will take me from 40 to 3000 and average around 500 ping. Even roaming solo I get these massive ping spikes.

Now, add in WvW world linking, increasing player population, and you see that the lag will only get worse, unless Anet addresses some hardware issues on their end.
I understand getting WvW to work smoothly is a hard challenge, but when it’s NA prime time and in Tier 1 only EBG has a 10 man queue, I don’t see why there’s lag.

This helped me in the past. When playing GW2, I have my Firewall and Antivirus software turned Off.

I would strongly advise against that – this means while you are playing, you are completely unprotected from attacks. The pain of getting rid of viruses / trojans is not worth the gain.
