Frequent Disconnects since last patch
yup pretty much unplayable when you get this in wvw and have to sit in que agian just hoping patch on 30th somehow fixes it back to way it was before last patch
happens to me atleast 3 times an hour never happened until the patch but in other threads on this anet is basically blaming our computers and our internet because their servers are horrible how can so many people have no d/c problems then you update something and now we do? is it possible all our internets go down at the same time I don’t think so because my wife plays on the same internet and we d/c at different times fix your game stop blaming players
I’m wondering if these are on US servers and EU servers alike. I think I read a thread that showed that it was indeed both, but it got too long to keep reading.
I started playing again today after a few months away and i’m also getting disconnected every few minutes, good to know its just not me
I’m getting the same, for the last 3 nights only though (sat, sun, mon) and start at 19:00 regular as clockwork, accompanied by extreme lag.
Never had this issue before in over 2000 hours of GW2, i have no idea why its started now.
Unfortunately, there are quite a lot of us who have been having similar issues over the last couple of weeks.
With me, it initially started out with a bit of skill lag during busy periods. It’s progressively gotten worse and now I cannot activate any skill in the game; just roam around for 5-10 minutes before I get disconnected from their server.
Guild Wars 2 is nothing but a fancy chat programme for me at the moment. I have zero latency while chatting to my Guildies or roaming about the map is concerned.
I’ve submitted a ticket, but their support team aren’t giving me much information outside of wanting to point the finger at my ISP. I’ve had the same ISP for over 7 years and have never had a problem with them. Apparently it’s not so far-fetched that my ISP would be giving me packet loss during the very same period that everyone else’s ISP decides to do the same.
Currently, I’m having to play another online MMO (with zero skill latency, would you believe?!) and wait to see if this issue get resolved. Whether it will or not I have no idea as they seem to have gone quiet regarding the issue as of late. Sincerely hope that this issue is still on their radar…
I been getting lag lately, Since Saturday though its become very bad. My ISP is not to blame, i have been on other games online and have a stable connection with no hang ups at all. Hoping this new patch with fix the lag though, becoming neigh impossible to do or plan to do anything other than use the game as a fancy IM system at the moment as anything else is just not enjoyable or even worth while trying unfortunately.
just tried the pingplotter tool listed here: https://en.support.guildwars2.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/9245/kw/Lag
And get the results as shown in the attachment.
I’m no expert, does this indicate a problem of some sort at edge4.london?
infact, if you google “ae-0-11.edge4.london2.level3.net” the hop where i seem to get 60% packet loss, a whole bunch of results show for regular disconnects in other games such as swtor, WoW and diabloIII

This is not an issue on GW2’s end, I guarantee you that. Other games have same issue.
If you are using Windows 7 and are currently sharing your internet speed, you may be at risk for frequent disconnects.
Please call a doctor and ask for Zodack. Over the counter medication. symptoms include pain, congestion, and possible death.
But seriously, Windows 7 + Unknown variable (related to another person on your network) = Frequent Disconnects
Correct me if I’m wrong, or tell me if I’m right.
