Guild Wars 2

First off, I would like to point out that the game has surpassed my standards in any game I play. It’s filled with creativity: the world textures, character models/textures, weapons, combat mechanics. Nearly everything is perfect for me so far. Some things I can mind, like simple bugs in events and event chains, but something that’s happening, to me especially, is becoming a nuisance.

Lag.

At times during my gaming sessions in this beautiful game I will get this horrendous lag that frustrates me. I’m a Thief and I like to use my daggers whenever I can over my shortbow, so I have to constantly be moving and dodging. With the lag, this becomes impossible. Just earlier today I was fighting dredge in the Norn zone after completing a jumping structure for a vista and a veteran mob that guards a loot chest, the lag started. I was performing a couple of leaping death blossoms, or so I thought.

I pressed my ‘3’ key repeatedly because I was taking on more than one mob, but nothing happened. Instead, I was being hit while I was attempting to flee seeing as how my attacks weren’t working. Even though I was running away and was clearly out of reach of the mobs, I was constantly losing health to the point of having to respawn at a waypoint.

I even tried my vanish/heal (‘6’ key) in attempt to stop the combat, but it would still not work along with me attempting to still run away. I don’t know if this has to do with server population, but it does happen quite a lot during the day here in Georgia (EST Zone) to me at least. I always have a constant internet connection with a low ping, almost always below 50ms.

If this problem could be looked into, it would be so awesome. I’m really enjoying the game so far! Just these small problems and it would all be okay!
