Has anyone noticed extreme skill lag lately? For example I played all day Saturday just fine, but then Saturday night all of a sudden my skills started lagging, and then near complete lockup. I tried rebooting my router and my cable model, but the problem only got slightly better. This happened last weekend as well. It seems like the Anet servers are getting loaded up somehow and it seems to happen more in some areas than others.
At the moment, if I watch my ‘options’ menu for ping. I’m getting 4000ms spikes.
This is across all game modes in gw2. This is not happening in any other online games I have, and my speedtest.net is perfect.
It won’t happen in other games or for speed test if it is an issue with a node your ISP uses for you to get to Anets servers. You can download and run a ping plotter test to see where the problem is. 95% of the time it is not Anet and somewhere else along your connection.
You can post here with your results from the test or you could post to one of the threads in the account issues thread, which is more appropriate for this topic.
So how am I supposed to know what IP address to ping plot? Running netstat -a with and without GW2 running I see some differences, but nothing is standing out.
