Guild Wars 2

Hi, over the last couple of days I’ve had very high network latency on GW2. All other applications seem to work fine, I have no problems with other online games or video streaming / VoIP etc.

I get lots of skill activation delay, rubber banding of mobs, conditions staying on me when their duration has run out.

I have created rules for GW2 in my firewall (ESET Smart Security 7) and my router allowing it through.

I have attached results from speedtest.net and pingtest.net for reference

Here is a tracert to the IP I get running /ip command in game.

I have this problem too, yesterday my game was completly fine but today its unplayable, what is going on?

Yeah this is getting silly. Ran from LA bank to TP.. No NPCs in TP for about 50 seconds.
Then ran from TP to the laurel vendor @ Fort Marriner… No NPCs appeared for ~3 minutes then the game disconnected…
Meanwhile I’m browsing the internet just fine on my 2nd monitor.

Is there any known issues related to latency? It’s unplayable right now.

Update: When I logged back in all of the players in LA were replaced with generic suits of hollow armor.. after a couple of minutes I got an error relating to the login server :/

i*m also having this problem. i cant play the game right now. fine yesterday, today 1 min delay on skill activation

I had a lot of rubber banding happen in WvW since last Friday. It was definitely not happening before. Many guild mates are experiencing the same thing. Please find out what’s happening Anet.

I’ve also been having this issue, I’ve opened a thread in the Game bugs part of the forum

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Crippling-everything-lag-WvW-DR-LA-PVE/first#post3554215

screencaptured video showcases the severity of lag in my post.

this is a big issue for more and more players it seems… Anet, please help us.

This has been an issue for like 8 months, no word on looking into it, or fixing it, or even acknowledging the issue. It’s pretty sad.
