Guild Wars 2

Hi, I’m new to the desert borderlands map. For some reason there was a timer in the top right corner of my screen and when it reached 0, an event began and I lost a great deal of ping. I’m not sure why this happened. Then, once the event was completed, my ping returned to normal levels.

I’d love to know what I can do to make my computer less laggy. I really enjoy this game.

It’s the power core event and the entire map is subjected to horrifying ping times until the event ends. Pretty sure anet knows about it. I can barely autoattack while it’s going.
