Guild Wars 2

spiking to 4k ping sometimes. dced about 3 or 4 times tonight. my internet is completely fine. its just gw2.

Run a pingplot or similar program. If the problem is on ANet’s side, they’ll need your data. (And it will show you if the problem is on the part of your ISP or, as is increasingly likely these days, if the problem is in the backbone.)

Same here, Have the same issue . after the recent update , ping started to go up to 2k – 4k

GW2 at Release my ping was 198 and on release out in the country with Adsl on copper wires, moved into town it became 205-210 ping after a massive game patch, now after hot added 220-230 ping with spikes now pvp and wvw ruined due to this.
Its not my end I’ve had it all checked and replaced where needed & no change so its Anet’s end

There are thousands of KM of cable between “your end” and “ANet’s end”, not to mention that “your end” includes your ISP and their end includes their ISP; there could be problems there, too.

Run pingplot (or similar) to collect the data, to help them pinpoint the trouble. The next steps depend on what you (and others) find.

Are we talking lag or ping?

I’m connecting from EU to NA and got terrible pings tonight. Spikes up to 3k, average about 500ms

Meanwhile tier 1 has terrible lags for everyone. How about an infrastructure upgrade, Anet?

It is not terrible lag for everyone. The lag only affects certain people. More then likely it is one of the many nodes you connection passes through on its way to the game server. Run pingplotter and determine where the problem is, this will show you where to start.
