The limit of people is more than the server can handle.
The amount of skill lag in wvw is insane. The devs are clearly ingoring this issue, because it has been like this from the start. Either get better servers or lower the limit. Because lag isn’t very fun, especially when you have low armor.

Almost nothing gets fixed in this game. That’s very sad, because this game has potential.

So it might be just me but I have been noticing a trend in WvW lag, and whenever there is a zerg content in the PvE land, the skill lag in WvW increases. The skill lag was almost all gone some months ago after the WvW season 1 had ended, but now it is back.

Does WvW run on the same servers as used for the PvE living story contents? Because if the servers are trying to process 300 players on EBG and then another 1000 on one PvE map + the overflows then this could lead to more skill lag in WvW.

However, there is very little skill lag in PvE even in 150 zerg fights, so I could be wrong…..

I logged in to Wvw yesterday.. ran about 20 steps.. lagged out, got stuck, used an emote, but then i couldn’t use any skills (again) and logged off..

what’s the use anymore

You ppls’ connections and/or pcs must suck, b/c I barely ever have lag or skilllag issues, aside from a 3way clusterfudge inside Stonemist here and there when theres an INSANE amount of ppl in one place. Other than that, no issues. Maybe it’s not the game that is the problem, but for you that’s just the easiest thing to blame it on…

Is this lag going to be fixed by the time the Season starts? There was almost no skill lag for 2-3 months, but the past month has been horrible.

When seasons start, the achievement hunters come back out, and with more people on the maps, the skill lag will take absolutely any fun and playability out of WvW.

After they fixed it the first time it was really good for a long time. You could have 3way fights in smc with almost no lag.
Since the last few patches however its gotten a lot worse where any 40v40 has a potential to lag out the servers.

What’s worse than that?

How about commanders who call all the players out in map chat so the griefing can start against any who have disconnects and tells them they need to start the client over.

Negating our many (and for me documented in glorious screenshots) disconnects are people in the game who are not being kind – in fact they are getting pretty darn nasty about this being the player’s “fault” even with all of our graphics turned down and rebooting ad nauseum.

It’s not our computers – it’s whatever happened Friday that is different than it was the week before – EB continues to disconnect many.

There are always people that assume it’s your PC because it doesn’t happen to them. You get comments like that because people are completely ignorant to how the internet functions, or even to determine the difference between PC performance and network/server issues.

The widespread nature of lag/disconnects points to the cause being either the servers themselves or a routing point between players and the server. The fact that many of the problems seem to only effect wvw, and not pve, server issues are most likely the cause. Even if it’s a 3rd party network provider causing the issue, it’s likely closer to Anet’s end since it effects so many people. Anet might not be a direct customer of that particular provider, but they do have control over which networks they buy bandwidth from.

Shifting their own services away from the provider(s) peered with the problem network, even if just temporarily (to allow time to fix said issues), could solve the issues players are having. I’ve seen this very thing happen with at least one other game due to major issues with one network. Unlike residential services, these types of network services usually give the customer some leverage over the direct provider via Service Level Agreements. And those providers would have similar contracts with the other network providers they peer with. In simple terms, if Anet’s ISP is not providing the quality of service being paid for, Anet should have the right to terminate the contract and change provider.

Yes, in my experience and from discussions my guildies and I had every LS update always results in mass disconnects from wvw (sometimes even entire map blob dcs – at least on EU servers) and persistent lags/disconnects (up to around 5ish dc’s in one hour) for some players….

So either you guys just started working on this and got the ball rolling…

…or you have been making next to 0 progress for 9 months.

I dunno which is the worse idea.

To be fair, I can deal with lag to an extent. Even crippling >3 seconds lag i can anticipate and compensate for my skill use fairly well if the fight is large enough scale. I have been forced to learn to do so.

But the framerate lag in large fights is ridiculous. Even with low-detail models and ALL other graphical options on their lowest graphical settings I get horrendous framerate on a 3.8ghz OC’d 5930k and GTX 980. This is a computer that plays Crysis 3 on max and almost never dips below 60.

What gives? Draw me freaking stick-men on the screen and dont render ANY spell-effects aside from AoE fields if it lets me maintain a smooth framerate in zergfights.

Getting lag in high population maps in pve too. Guess they did the usual of pulling off server capacity to support the glorious e-sport that is standing on circles and playing cheese runners with screaming children as commentators (aka spvp tournament that less than 3,000 people watched on twitch). That $50,000 first prize could have paid a wvw dev for a year!

Luckily there are no longer queues for t1 EU match ups so d/cing a lot no longer makes too much difference.

Trust me i do know the difference between server lag and pc lag, and to be honest with you i don’t even have that problem anymore. Server lag does exist but idk if it happens as often or a.s kittenome people claim if it does. Its most likely at peak hurs and be serious about it , its to be expected even on high end pc with above average connections.
