Guild Wars 2

Many people are experiencing massive amounts of lag in PvE for some reason.

PVE and WVW are lagging bad.. im getting 600-3000 ms ping.. is the server dying or getting ddos?

PvP too, losing rating cause of kittened lag…

can confirm, half of my raid team keeps getting dc’d

zoned into wvw.. seems ok now

Also in pvp, getting 2500 ms lag. Skills flashing but not activating, cannot move, etc. Image taken just after queuing for pvp again, got out of queue and ping reduced back down to around 220.

I’m not playing pvp if this is going to happen.

Been lagging as well. Seems to come and go. Can’t WP, can’t use skills; options page shows 135 ms ping with average of 435. Only actually dc’d once in 4 hours.

Unplayable for me at the moment.
Astronomical pings, 2 DC’s trying to do Jormag and now the client won’t connect.

If ANet cares they should replace a hamster or two, but you know them: they think the game is so cool they don’t need players.

We’re skrewed.

Failed a Tangled Depths Meta event because 1/2 the players hit 1500ms ping part way through. Ogre lane couldn’t see which eggs were up, nor could we see the chak rush. Nuhoch lane couldn’t see the mushrooms to stomp on them. Major waste of time trying to organize a map meta event, when it can’t be completed.

NCSofts edge network is dropping major packets it seems.

Can confirm as well, and also at Jormag. Didn’t feel lag while moving, but skills were unresponsive, unable to type in local chat (but could read those that could), and 450 ms ping (usually 32 ms).

Just had horrible lag/latency in Jormag like I have never experienced before. He sat at 7% with my auto skills flashing away and my text chat msgs weren’t being sent. As Tenna said, Didn’t feel lag while moving, but skills were unresponsive, unable to type in local chat (but could read those that could), and 450 ms ping ."

After 3 mins, I finally caved and flipped to another character to see if I had DCd. When I got back into Frost Gorge, I was on a different (empty) IP and the sell tab on the vendor by Jormag wouldn’t load. After a hard DCd from the game; I got back in and gathered Cypress Sapling which took a good 3-4s to appear in my inventory.

EDIT: Just ran AB meta @ 11PM Eastern time and aside from the usual stutters. All was normal. Wonder if this is just affecting certain maps/ips/servers

Ridiculous lag for me and my fellow players as well. One just called it a day because he kept disconnecting so much it was completely unplayable. I’ve had 2 DC’s myself along with frequent lag spikes that last up to a minute. One time in particular, I was getting hurt in-game. Used a heal skill, didn’t heal and entered the down state. Teleported away (Mesmer skill) and couldn’t even hold 4 to self-heal with nothing around me. I died of course and there was so much lag I couldn’t even teleport to a waypoint after I died. Had to re-start the entire client.

I should also note that I know for a fact it isn’t my own service provider as everything else is running quite smoothly with no interruptions.

I can confirm as well massive lag.

I’ve been disconnected, as well as a friend of mine. Random windows like the Gem Store, Black Lion Trading, etc are lagged out, I even have a hard time moving map to map. I’m getting high ping 150, upwards of much much more (350 up to who knows what)

I’m on quality cable (60m+ with solid connections and lines)

Was in a pvp match several minutes ago. From the beginning of the match I was lagging and the other team received a dc not even a minute in. A couple minutes in I had a dc; I get back into the game to find the other team had 4 players absent at that point. I then received another dc and was unable to reenter the game. Was planning on doing the tournament starting in a few minutes, but after this, will probably pass (if I can even get back into the game properly). I hope anet takes care of whatever is causing this problem throughout the game soon.

This only seems to be affecting about half of players. Fractal dailies were a nightmare for me but 2 of my party were completely fine. Seems to have gotten worse too, around server reset it was spiking (avg. 500) but just now it was a constant 1.5k with spikes of multiple seconds of complete unresponsiveness.

EXACTLY!

I’m also getting huge lag spikes, but no disconnections in PvE (Teq) and WvW (Eternal Battlegrounds). Ping goes from 78 to over 3000 within seconds, and I’m on 60 mbps internet.

Game has become unplayable for me due to the disconnects and lag I am getting. Doesn’t matter if I am crafting, farming Silverwastes, doing a HoT meta, the lag follows and I am getting d/c’d. Could be that ANet wasn’t prepared for the U.S. holiday traffic, but whatever the ultimate reason it would be nice to see this resolved quickly as it has been effecting my gameplay since about 5pm EST.

DC again just now more lag anet plz fix your kitten

AT&T has been having massive problems for about 8 hours (as of the time of my post); it’s affecting people who don’t have AT&T (but whose providers use AT&T pipes or who have to share rerouted traffic with AT&T refugees).

Our demand for internet is growing faster than the infrastructure; this is going to keep happening until our governments and ISPs figure how to manage it.

I’ve also been having an intense amount of lag. For the last couple of days my ping has been anywhere between 600 and 2000 with my Framerate dropping between 4 and 8

Still experiencing lag, huge spikes during PVP and then in PVE, both had the awesome flashing buttons that I clicked by nothing happening. I can still run around and apperntly die, but I don’t see it coming till I am already dead and or time fast-forwards by showing me 2 minutes worth of button activity in 10 seconds.

please fix this..

Can confirm, we lost half a squad due to DCs.

This is really annoying the 2 days in a week where everyone in my premade has time to convene to raid… Thwarted by the most terrifying thing you can encounter in a mmo game.. 4000 ping

Same here, they just want us playing another game by night…..

Network Error? come on guys pull it together. Did some one in the office light off a firework on the server main frame?

Massive lag spikes, and now everyone dc’d out of WvW…, can’t log back in… sob

For the second consecutive evening, I was in a TD map that failed because of the lag. This is ridiculous.

My entire clan was complaining as well. We are mostly from south america, but we are hours or even days of travel between each others.

I asked on map chat and some people of alaska and canada were complaining as well.

Map chat seems to be working OK, same as HOTMS lobby, but when inside a match you get DC or lagged.

Perhaps, posting your area, or ISP, or Tier 1 carrier, or whatever you may have in common would be helpful, as some of us have no issue with connectivity or ping.

My entire clan is complaining, even we are scattered all around south america. Some people on north usa and canada where complaining as well.

Chat and HOTM lobby seems to work fine, but pve and pvp content does not.

game is completely unplayable right now i keep seeing lagg spikes of 3900 ping, its literaly impossible to play rigght now

Indeed I even submitted a ticket about it. Every guild I am in has players reporting this problem. My ping about 15 mins ago was over 4,900. It’s usually around 40 and this has been going on for about 2 days. So if you aren’t experience any issues, yay for you, but there is a problem going on.

Just lost 25 points in spvp beacuse my team lagged out.

Yeah, I have had the same massive ping issue just recently, and I live in Eastern Canada… and so was the 3 fractal groups (that lag killed us) and most of the LA map I was in. I did not have any problems when I was playing earlier today or yesterday.

Definitely agree with all the other comments posted here. GW2 PVE is unplayable at-the-moment due to severe lag.

24 hours plus? I cannot find any dev response, did i miss it? This is a Game crashing issue for, apparently, alot of people. I am completely unplayable in Central US

And dropped again.

…and again.

…and again.

…and again.

…and again.
…….

So I lost my pvp rating points just because of this massive lag. A warrior killed me with axe auto attack from miles away. Seriously, wtf is this? People got disconnected and they couldn’t even control their characters to play the game. Again, I’m salty for the loss of my pvp rating points.

yup, down 45 points from 2 games and 11 min of dishonor because of of this. Anet has yet to say anything about their servers

Same, I couldn’t use a single skill, and was unable to cap an empty point. Still managed to lose my ranking though. Anet please get your server together and we better be compensated for your incompetence

I’ve been experiencing massive lag spikes in PVE and personal story, as well as Fractal and Dungeons. WVW seems to be completely fine for me, yet I have seen others rail about how bad WVW lag is.

I know it is not my internet, as I have a cable modem 64 mbps hardwired to my computer, and can stream YouTube or Twitch at highest resolutions with no stutter.

I’ve tried clearing all processes from Task Manager, and even turned all setting down to lowest to see if that would help. Nothing seems to alleviate the lag except waiting for 15 to 30 minutes so my ping goes down from around 3500 ms back down to 41-65, which is normal everyday ping for my computer.

I’ve also noticed that trying to get to the forum main page or even navigating within them takes much longer than normal; it took almost 5 minutes to load this post.

Hoping things get worked out soon.

I have been dropped all day in PVE on the Lake Doric map. Major lag, game is not playable in its current state.

Same here. Lost a game because apparently, only the thief on their team could move. Players were autoing from miles away and killing me. Could not cap any points nor contest it. Apparently, my character was in the spawn point the entire time, despite me controlling my character out of the base. Only their thief was playing normally and capped everything resulting in our loss. By the end of the game, every single player was DCed besides me and that thief.

Seriously, this is annoying. This lag was here yesterday and here it is again. I usually can only play at night, and this lag is seriously ruining the game for me. Losing is frustrating in itself. The lag hitting when we are winning 100-10 is even more frustrating. This is ruining the PvP experience for me.

Likewise, massive lag, many D/Cs. Can’t really play the game as it is right now.

Ya not sure if attack, other. or as you said base infrastructure. One thing does seem to be true: if you put all your eggs in one basket as what happens in monopoly’s, two things are certain. Prices will rise, and service will fall.

Just had a massive lag spike in a fractal. game bugged out completely could barely connect back. my whole party dced too..
