Guild Wars 2

I’ve been getting the same problem since the last patch, it’s been happening off and on throughout the week but hardly noticeable at times or was way too infrequent for me to really care. But today especially is the worst I’ve ever seen it. can’t go 5 mins without a huge lag spike and disconnect, tried the solutions I could find and reset my modem a couple of times and nothing works. And it’s been happening all day.

Also have horrendous lag spikes, currently playing at best performance so it’s poor visuals, but the lag spikes are still atrocious.

Im sad and glad im not the only on been tearing my hair out trying to figure out whats wrong (. Not that it was much there to begin with )

Hi there, I usually play at odd hours, but I just tried logging in and was playing story mode for order of whispers – hylek – defend village. Every time the undead came through the game got extremely laggy and became unplayable. I just purchased a new PC a month ago and everything else (internet/ games/ apps) working perfectly. So it would be good if this was escalated.

I have random lag spikes too and this make often the WvW unplayable because if they happen during a fight I die and opponents resurrect. I’m seriously thinking to leave the game because it’s impossible to continue this way.
I did everything that come in my mind to fix the this issue with no success.

I have been having lag spikes on Maguuma lately too, I’d say for a little over a week. Things will be fine as I am running around in PvE, but sometimes, usually when I am in combat, I will hit HUGE lag spikes where everything on screen will freeze for a good 5 seconds. Sometimes the game almost totally crashes. I have also been booted off the server a few times during REALLY bad spikes.
I’ve been living with it for a while, and just tonight it finally killed me for the first time. I have checked my ISP, monitored everything running on my computer when it happens, and I am at a loss. None of my other games lag and I experience no other issues except in game.
Like the rest of the folks on this thread, I am not very happy. While I am not suffering to the degree that some are, it’s still much worse than it should be, and for shame that we should be dealing with a problem this pervasive! I hope a solution gets implemented soon, otherwise it will not bode well for those of us experiencing this issue and cause us to stop playing. It has already claimed some, the rest of us will eventually follow if it is not fixed.

I had terrible spikes yesterday, I thought it was my ISP’s traffic shaping, but all packets from the game are labelled correctly as high priority. So now I come here and see that the unplayable condition of the game is NCSoft’s fault. I’ve lost hours of gameplay and died countless times to lag and disconnects yesterday.

I was looking forward to seeing the broken culling system turned off today, but now I’m not so sure.

EDIT: I’m on Aurora Glade (EU)
EDIT2: Guild Wars plays just fine, no lag whatsoever

Since the wintersday patch I have been getting really bad lag spikes. In wvw, pve world, dungeons, fractals etc etc. I have checked everything and to no avail. Coming on here and reading other’s post I find that I am experiencing similar problems; everything freezes for a few seconds, give or take, and then BOOM, it appears a whole lot has happened in the time I froze. Now it has progressed into me being kicked from server, today during fractals for example. Has anyone found a solution to this yet?
