Guild Wars 2

For a little less than a week now, it seems the lag for the Claw of Jormag is back again. Many players are experiencing frequent lag during the event (especially in phase 2), and constant disconnections. This does not happen during Tequatl when the map is hardcapped with the maximum amount of players allowed, nor during the Karka Queen event (when there is just as many, if not more enemies and players around in a small area).

It’s likely because of the Champion train that happens in this map with 50-100 players. It’s not about the number of players on the map, its about how many things are occuring at once that causes lag. On a map like Sparkfly Fen, Tequatl is all that is happening.

This lag, and the constant disconnections, have been present since the first “Tower” release patch.
I go there to harvest daily. and I have disconnected 3-5 times every time I go there. I experienced minimal lag, just the constant DC’s. Last night I harvested, disconnected, and my Ori was laying on the ground next to the node.
Sometimes I do not disconnect, but all movement other than my character stops, like all are taking a break from the fight during the Champ farm, I move away when they stop moving, otherwise I disconnect and reconnect to find myself dead.
This is affecting all players in Frostgorge, not just the Claw players or the players doing the Champ farm. I helped a player do some skill points, and he disconnected 5 times while I helped him with 2 skill points.
Maybe the silver nerf to the Champ boxes were not enough and Anet has decided to just DC those that participate, who knows…..
