Guild Wars 2

Server: Seafarer’s Rest. The other day queensdale didn’t even work. Now I’m experiencing random bouts of lag, and since I went to relog to see if it would fix the problem, I am instead greeted by endless loading screens on all of my characters. So now I can’t even play the game.

Gunnar’s Hold – After playing in the SAB for an hour I hit a disconnect and when trying to log back in Rata Sum doesn’t load. Tried different character in Queensdale who seems ok, took him to Heart of the Mists and again the area doesn’t load. Guess I’ll go play something else until this gets sorted out.

Super annoying…

Ruins of Surmia. Non stop ability/interaction lag in Cursed Shore/Lion’s Arch but guild chat works fine in these zones. Unable to log in/times out on certain characters that are in certain zones. Blazeridge Steps, Heart of the Mist, Queensdale.. Game runs perfect with other characters in other zones such as Wayfarer Foothills/Sparkfly Fen..

Edit* Got into hearts of the mist.. played one tourny round everything was fine.. second tourny game same map non stop ability lag and timing out…

Gunnars Hold….none of my characters will load. one is in queensdale Swamplost waypoint near behemoth, all others are in Lions Arch. all characters stuck in unending load screen.

Aurora Glade, unable to log into any characters in LA. Ranger is in Gandarra Fields and has a huge load screen just to DC soon after. First time I really felt like playing in the last two weeks

I’m assuming that I’m not the only one that can’t log in, then. This needs to fixed ASAP.
I am also an American playing on a Euro server.

Similar issues here, when I can log in, I get stuck on loading screen into a map.

Seafarer’s Rest

Edited: NA player on EU server

Is this more of a european world problem or americans on european server problem?

Well lets see, this post was started on some 2 weeks ago, and people are still getting the same mistakes. As the Dev asked im on deso bl, cant even log in to the game although i was fine up until about 1hr before reset today when i got kicked from bloodtide coast.

As a WvW player i experience the usual lag etc that still hasnt been fixed (and has been mentioned in about a thousand posts that you seemed to have just ignored), and now i see it has started to happen i pve areas. Nice.

The April fools joke is over, ive been playing this game since the very first beta weekend and the game has never been this unplayable, i even bought a new computer just so that i would be able to play the game in all its full technicolor glory, unfortunatly its turning into a technicolor fail, bigtime.

After waiting on a loading screen into heart of the mists for 15 minutes i now have the lovely error code that our dev wanted…its the same as the ones allready written in this post, bout time you did something about it!!!! As stated before its been over 2 weeks since this problem was first written about in the forums.

Fix the problem or at least tell us what actions you are trying to do, or that we should do to fix it.

speaking for myself….i’m an american on a european server

EU on an EU server, fix this now anet

I too am american on euro server (desolation), luckily this has just started happening to me today. My error for today is 7:11:3:189:101. Maybe its because i want to transfer to american server.

this is the first day i’ve had this login/loadscreen problem. i haven’t tried guesting or transferring….so i doubt that has anything to do with it.

severe lag started a few days ago….the first time since beta. something funky with the last update.

I’m on Tarnished Coast, had 3-4 disconnects earlier today, and just now additionally had huge lag and 3 disconnects, all in SAB playing solo. In SAB Lag showed me as semi-transparent viewing a cutscene reel while I was actually running. Died a few times due to lag. Restarting the client twice did not help.

Edit: Just now I was unable to even enter SAB, followed by another disconnect.

NA player on an EU server… I can only get one character to load at all. I can log in fine, and select multiple characters, but every single one excet a lowbie thief will not load. It’s like they’re stuck between worlds or something.

What’s up with that?

’Merican user. Server is Ruins of Surmia (EU) (my guildies from another game are European and I recently transferred when they started playing this one.)
Been trying off and on for several hours.
Sometimes can log in, sometimes loading screen takes forever and gives me the same error nikkei ^^^ got.

When I do make it in I can see no other characters (NPC or otherwise) and I’ve been attempting to trigger an AOE on my bar and the skill blinks forever until the error window pops up. Sometimes I am kicked to the character select, sometimes the client just crashes to a black screen.

When I first started the game up this afternoon around 6ish it downloaded somewhere between 8-12 files (I wasn’t paying attention how many exactly) so I assume this is related to a recent patch. I didn’t play the game for the past couple of nights so I can’t verify if this problem was the same on previous evenings. I was in the rubik’s cube city at first then ported to the barracks in Queensdale. I was able to run upstairs and claim the vista (on a second login, I re-logged in when the F key wouldn’t trigger the vista after several presses).

Every re-attempt I make to log in seems to be getting worse and worse results.

The game is currently unplayable for me though I am glad some of you are having (slightly) better results.

Please devs read these posts and fix this soon.

Server : Blackgate
Map: PvP and WvW, PvE is perfectly normal and the lag/disconnect issue started right after the last patch.

Try guesting in another world, that works for me (just for stuck character, the lag is still too much).
Server: Baruch Bay (Es). Im an NA player on EU server too, but this is the first time i have these lag skipes, yesterday i try to play the starter mission of the sylvari, and it was me, alone in the map and with an unplayable lag, the first times the load screen get stuck for about 5 minutes and then, the lost connection window. After several try’s i guest in another world, and at least i cloud get out of that story, playing with a lot of lag.

In WvW, i dont know what to think but i dont blame the “zergs” for the recent lags issues there. There are moments in the afternoon/night when the game kicks you out of nowhere, with no zergs arround.

All this begin in the last patch of march 26 i think, but becomes worse the past days.

Server: Far Shiverpeaks

Since the march patch the lag spikes have been horrible for me in sPvP. Sometimes I can play for a while without any issues, but always at some point the lag spikes start to attack me making my gameplay experience unbearable. I can use Blink and seconds later the spell will activate. After that I get “teleported” by lag all over the place, just back and forth for several seconds. If not something like this, enemies can suddenly disappear or my normal attack spells won’t activate until much later.

Minor versions of this can also happen in dungeons.

For the record, these lag spikes only started to begin after the whip-exploit patch, not the first march patch. The whip-exploit patch also made it impossible to visit queensdale on seafarer’s rest for a short while. How arenanet made such a huge kittening error by fixing an exploit that effected 1% of the game is beyond me, but it’s completely unreasonable that players are unable to play the game they’ve spent money on because of the incompetency of whomever was in charge of fixing that exploit in the first place.

So if any developers are reading this, look over what was changed during that specific patch. I’d really like to be able to play the game with my guildies without experiencing major lag that was been so far nonexistent up until the whipfix patch.

And as a further note, the lag appears to begin at about 3pm pst, at least for myself. Peak server hours, however, have never effected my connection.

Just going to update:

Lag spikes are getting worse – Lasting several minutes of 20+ seconds of delay.

I’m from Brazil. My server is Darkhaven.

Lag here too!!! Game’s unplayable! I run a thief, and it gets very frustrating missing my cloak and dagger and other stealth skills. Died so many times because of the lag. 1-2 seconds all the time. 2 friends are lagging as well (same server and playing from Brazil too).

Sometimes it lags like hell and if I use my skills they keep blinking but nothing happens. I can even run around the map, dodge infinitely and fall from way too high places; then, after 1-2 minutes I receive a error code saying I got disconnected. I press OK and the game returns whether to the char selection or to login on desktop.

ArenaNet HAS TO SAY SOMETHING!!!!!!!! DO SOMETHING!!!!!!!
The game is great! The best one I ever played! Fix it or I’ll quit very soon :/

I’ve passed the one month mark and the game is still unplayable… Can’t really do anything social in the game anymore scince I can’t carry my weight anymore in dungeons, fractals etc. because of the lag and subsequent disconnects.

Is it possible something went wrong during an update? Could it possibly help to do a clean install? or would that just be a waste of time?

Playing on Kaineng.

Experiencing lag across the entire game, including high population zones like starter zones and into zones that have next to no one in them, like Lornar’s Pass. It doesn’t seem to matter what I am doing; it’s not zone-specific. Some of the problem is a terrible ISP, but it’s definitely been worse since the March and April patches.

Loading times for LA are ridiculous ever since the overflows were removed.

Experiencing random disconnects which say the game lost connection to the host server, and I get kicked to character select. This happens sporadically. Sometimes it’s several times within an hour, and sometimes it’s once per night. Last night, one of my guildies had this happen three times within 15 minutes. It typically allows me to log right back in, but it’s very disruptive. This happens to me most frequently during dungeons, and seems to happen often when the dungeon objectives change after finishing a boss fight, ending a mid-path event, etc. This is extremely frustrating, as it will occasionally not only prevent me from receiving rewards, but it inconveniences the entire team.

Rarely, the client crashes entirely, although I don’t recall what the error was in that case, but I think the message was something to do with not being able to connect to the log-in server. At one point when this happened, I wasn’t able to log back into the game for about 15-20 minutes, and I checked to see if it was downloading new info, and it wasn’t. It just couldn’t connect.
