Guild Wars 2

Hey people. I know a few nights ago GW2 had some kind of server issues but since then I have had constant non-stop lag. I mainly pvp.

The lag happens in regular occurring spikes happening roughly 2-5 seconds at a time. They aren’t MASSIVE spikes but it is constant enough where it is starting to get irritating. For example, if I were to cast Cloak and Dagger on someone, I will see the animation immediately, but my character won’t stealth and I won’t see the damage until 2 seconds after. This has kitten me on a few occasions where I thought I missed it so I casted it again only to find out the first one did connect with the target, only for the next one to waste all of my initiative and leave the Revealed debuff on me so I can’t stealth again with any other skills.

In a nutshell, I use an ability and even though I see the animations usually right away, I don’t see the numbers or the effects until much afterwards. This has also made it seem like that other players are “teleporting” around the map rather than simply moving. I asked in multiple games if other people are experiencing this and most of the time they will say “no” although very few people will say they are experiencing the same thing. Any way I can fix this? Any help will be appreciated.

I thought it was my connection but I recently came back after a year absent and I didn’t have lag before, glad its not from my side

Yeah. I got the same lag two days ago, but in the entire game. My fps is stable at 55, so no problem with that. My ping is at 6 and i got a 100/100 broadband connection, so it’s not from my side. All my friends also got this lag.

It takes 2-5 seconds for my skills, weapon swapping, asura gate entries and so on to happen.
