Recently there has been alot of server lagg, is Arenanet aware of this? If so are they doing anything to fix it? It gets quite annoying and appears to be starting on the off-times instead of the prime-times.
Yeah you’re not going to get them to do anything by telling them to prove to you it’s not laggy. They have nothing to prove to you. They’re busy and working on things as fast as they can. Get a better internet connection.
+1 here – DC’d about 4 times in a row over 10 minutes (just now) and I haven’t ever DC’d in this game previously and my connection is fine for anything else
yeah, seems lag issues is effecting everyone just spoke to the guild and WvW doesn’t seem to be much fun atm (due to lag). the game doesn’t lag like this normally just last few days….. c’mon anet your better than this.
Definitely not the reason there’s lag. When whole zones’ map chat explodes with reports of skills freezing, dying to enemies while being unable to fight back or get away, unable to loot and other such issues, the solution is not to “get a better internet connection”.
This problem has been happening off and on the past couple of days at least. They acknowledged the problem was severe Tuesday on their twitter. It wasn’t as terrible last night, no server crashes, but it was still unplayable for a good hour or so. It seems to be happening during prime-time and somewhat just after during typical server off-hours.
They’re working on it, but from what I know, haven’t actually said what the problem may be. There are some rumors about certain internet groups DDOSing, but we can’t really know for sure until someone comes forward with news.
So.. today I had several crashes.. massive lags, etc.. and right now I can log in into the character selection screen, but it does not load any map.. what’s up?
It’s just loading and loading and loading, but it doesn’t let me in.. it just kicks me out again (sometimes it automatically restarts the game, sometimes it kicks me back into the character selection).
Just did some WvW…. could not use any skills or my heal in a big fight… i just stood there, died and kept rallying off dead enemies… once the zerg battle was over, i was still unable to use my skills/heal… even in a room by myself nothing would fire at all.
I could weapon swap and pick up bags, but no skills or heal – this is stupid.
It’s pointless playing this game when it’s in this sort of shape…
I’ve never even been able to finish the event because I always DC before it’s over! Then it takes me the rest of the event time to reconnect. It’s very annoying.
Most of the content in this game, both original and newly patched in, requires players to participate and succeed in long, complex event chains to gain final rewards. We’ve seen this with PvE events such as Fractals and other dungeon instances to “Open World Events” such as Twisted Marionette, Temple of Balthazaar, etc. We also see the same dedication and uninterrupted play required to take major objectives in WvWvW such as Bay, Hills, Garrison, and StoneMist Castle.
I’ve experienced terrible lag the last several nights to the point the game is unplayable, and totally interrupts any big events I may be in the middle of with my friends.
Most of the core community takes part in the bigger and harder events that take time and requires us to be logged in for extended periods without lagging out or interruption of service. Some of us even use premium Internet service and Proxy services to get the best possible connection in our area.
The users’ efforts, time, and expense are all wasted on your game if your servers and security are terrible. Enough said. You needed to get this fixed days ago, or people will take their money elsewhere to games like Wildstar and Elder Scrolls.
Wildstar and Elder Scrolls will fall to these attacks the same as GW2, if this is what’s happening. DDoS attacks are not a problem on ANet’s end any more than they are on our end.

delicate, brick-like subtlety.

^ this so much this +9001
people keep commenting about Anet being a bad company because they can’t do anything against this “lag”, but people like you just make the ignorants follow you and hate the company for something that is out of reach and can’t be fixed like a server crash, if it’s a Ddos (btw someone is taking credit of these attacks on twitter) then Anet can’t do anything about it but wait until the attacks are over.
Do you remember when the government’s websites got completely shut down by a Ddos? Imagine the same thing on Anet’s servers. Be happy your game isn’t unavailable for a whole week.
Sever Lag outs in Tarnished Coast as well which even I got to admit that I am pretty bummed out about it but to be honest if it is an attack shame on them for doing it but at the least ArenaNet should at least post something telling us customers that they are aware of it.
As others have mentioned, the root cause seems to be a massive DDoS attack (“unprecedented in size”, according to reports) against Cloudfront, a hosting service used by many online software companies, including ANet and Blizzard, among others. It’s very frustrating, I know, but blaming ANet for this is like blaming your local supermarket for being closed when there’s a power outage. It’s out of their hands.
