Guild Wars 2

This might seem like an odd observation, but it’s certainly noticeable and has quite an impact on play.

For some reason, many of the Thief Shirt-Bow abilities, mainly Disabling shot and Infiltrator arrow seem to suffer from major lag…and actually cause brief…stuttering. I don’t get this when using other weapons and haven’t seen it occur with other classes either.

I do suffer from occasional lag-spikes, especially during the peak hours between 6PM and 10PM, which I assume are due to heavy server loads. This may be connected but doesn’t explain why it would affect the short-bow abilities so much more than any others.

I also tend to run the game @60 FPS most of the time and haven’t experienced many client-side issues outside of the occasional disconnect.

I will mention though that I’ve been forcing the game to run using port 80, instead of the standard port due to a disconnect issue that plagued me in the past.
