Guild Wars 2

Hello, I’m not too sure where to post this, this seems the most appropriate forum. So we all know since a few months past the servers have been constantly acting up, lag spikes, mass disconnecting, you name it.

[Rant] I have endured lag spikes during “complicated” bosses, that have caused wipes, such as lupi, mai trin, magecrusher, where I just sit there waiting to see if I died or not when the game resumes. I have not ever ranted on forums about this because let’s face it, the ranting is already too kitten high. Today it’s reached a whole new level of annoying, I disconnected THREE times during loading screen, and TWO of those three times I actually lost instances. One was CM p2, who cares. But now lost a fractal 50 while loading the 3rd map because of that, because enduring the bugs that can happen on fractals is not bad enough. I don’t care about Living Story, I don’t care about recycled Festive content, hell, I’m sure no one wants any content if it means the servers are gonna keep being as messed up as they are right now! [/rant]

OK, constructive criticism now:
- DC’s have been ocurring every now and then since megaserver.
- From what I’ve gathered from friends and reddit it SOMETIMES only affects certain ISP’s
- Mostly occurs at night time, there was a time it was mostly noticeable during Tequatl spawns
- During the loading screen DC’s mapmodelcompletion and maploadcompletion didnt move from 0% (I use maploadinfo) and then gave an error “Network error. The inability to connect to Guild Wars 2 may be caused by Internet routing issues or a server network failure. (…) (Code = 5:11:3:159:101).”
- When we logged back in it said the instance was full, we kicked a member to try and get in and the instance broke (shouldn’t matter now, but he wasn’t the one who created the instance).
- Update: Happened again, both times in the molten facility fractal, after finishing and loading the next map, might be the molten map or the map that comes next

Similar thing happened to us twice in 4 fractal runs. This rate is downright depressing, unless we’re extremely unlucky.

Pressed Ready after done with a fractal, loading screen appears, the ModelLoadCompletion stays at 0% for about 30s, then everyone in the party gets disconnected messages and the instance is destroyed. Sayonara 20 minutes of play.

I was having a lot of the same issues with lag and dc’s after the last features patch, I noticed my performance improved significantly as well as stability, after changing some of the video card settings I had for the game, should note I have a nvidia card, which is nice for choosing global and game specific graphic settings, who knows it might help you

also there is a tech support thread, where you might find more help, gl
