Guild Wars 2

Hi…

With almost every update there is more and more lag. Now some skill lags are up to 2-5 seconds. => NOT FUN!

I think, I can rule out my hardware (AMD Bulldozer FX-6100, 8 GB RAM, nVidia GTX-660 Ti, Intel SSD) as well as the connection (32 MBit Cable). So the problem seems software-related and is getting worse… It sometimes takes another 10 seconds for the landscape to fully appear after the long loading screen (i.e. HotM->LA ~20 seconds is rather good those days)

What can I do to minimize this problem, or is it simply up to ANet’s programmers?

So long,
Curu…

I wonder if anyone realises that there is more lag due to an increased number of people playing for the event? I personally have not seen an overflow map in some time (other than when a world event pops on my server, and even that has been minimal recently), and since June 11, I almost cannot go to LA without an overflow. So maybe… It’s related to number of players.

I understand that it shouldn’t cause this bad of a problem, but every game gets more laggy when overcrowded. At least gw2 doesn’t stick you into a login queue because their login servers or your home servers are full. You still get to play, just do it more cautiously or try to play outside of prime time hours until some of the craziness with this event dies down a bit… Also, it’s officially summertime (in the northern hemisphere), there will be an influx of school aged players hitting the servers at all times.

And personally, I’m not getting this terrible lag everyone is on about all the time, I get it around prime time evenings, so I just don’t play then. But even still, my most inconvenient experience is increased loading times to get into any zone, that’s all that’s gotten worse for me. So, I think the players reporting on the forums (as is proven in player population vs those complaining of issues on the forus) is fairly minimal compared to the overall player base. Just my 2¢.

Wow…. So Anet programmers have developed code that causes more and more lag? Are you sure you don’t want to reword your complaint (HINT: it’s NOT a code issue)?
