DC’s, Lag, Black Screens, & FPS Drops all while just standing around in a city, all at random times, going on for a while now. The FPS drops require a shutdown of the game from the desktop, trying to close it the regular way causes a computer freeze. Lag spikes at random times, especially wvw and skilllag but what else is new right? DC’s every couple minutes during certain random times. I dont know what the heck is going on with this game anymore.

I say what needs to be said, get used to it.

I have been experiencing the same thing. I did a bit of testing and it is not usually on my end. TWC sometimes has high traffic but I can tell the difference. Here is a copy/paste of a trace route I ran while I was simply standing around in the Heart of the Mists:

C:\WINDOWS\system32>tracert 64.25.38.201 (heart of the mists, Darkhaven)

Tracing route to 64.25.38-201.ncsoft.com [64.25.38.201]

Trace complete.
__________________________________________________________________

Based on the Trace, it looks like it all goes to heck once it gets to Telia, which I’m assuming is their service provider. It only gets worse as it goes through NCSoft, which is ANet. Everything between and my ISP is fine with a few rare exceptions.
