Frequent Lag and Disconnects
Yes, I’ve been experiencing similar issues for roughly a week now with heavy lags during peak hours.
Things are fine during the day and late at night but 7PM to roughly 10PM is virtually unplayable.
Reminds me a bit of September when the game was newly launched as I had similar issues.
You might want to check the tech-support forums.
As have i multiple Disconnects and really bad lags freezes and general unplayable conditions, a lot of my guild mates have stated similar issues these past few months as well.
I’d just like to add many of us are Aussies and Oceanic players so maybe the issue lies somewhere there, but as a whole Aussies are quite used to lag, this lately is a whole other story though.
This was a specific issue that arose after the January Patch was issued. Certain servers and certain areas in the servers are experiencing crazy lag and disconnects. The devs had asked that anyone experiencing these problems to post. I just could not find that thread to add this to it

It’s probably to do with massive amounts of people logging on around the time the first part of the not so living story was added, hoping for the next part.
I just returned to GW2 after not playing for several months. I had switched from an American server to a European server so that i could play with a friend and hopefully cut out lag issues because it had less traffic. on Tuesday, i started experiencing lag issues not only in WvW but also in my story line quests and 70-80 maps. It has become so rediculous that i had a delay for about 5 minutes with no message or d/c. idk what is going on but i am getting up to 90 fps so its obviously network related. Also i have chekced my connection and i am getting excellent signal strength so it is not a personal issue either. someone please lead me to some answers before i decide to pay money to switch back to a crowded American server to see if that fixes the problem.
EDIT: sorry forgot to mention i am currently on the EUR server Whiteside Ridge but i used to be on Maguuma

I posted this in another Forum, but I’ll post it again here so the devs can have things more consolidated. I have been having similar lag problems with often disconnects. I have done virus and malware scans and have had no hit there. It had been happening for a week with the very bad lag, and since the last Flame and Frost update and the new weapons added. I am on the Jade Quarry server, and am located in the Mountain Time Zone for the USA
