Guild Wars 2

Deepcuts.9740:

I am starting to think some posters have contracts with pingplotter.com

Nope. I’m just grumpy because people are apparently unable to understand either how the Internet works, or to read the posts here. So, it’s form letter style pointers to a guide that nicely covers how to actually identify the location of the problem, because that’s the most successful technique so far.

Also of note: so far it’s three “my ISP”, four “level3”, and one “probably anet”, by my count. (and I say only “probably anet” because the poster asserted it was anet after they followed the guide, but supplied no proof, and I’ll be honest … based on the level of misinformation so far, unless I see the proof in screenshots I’m pretty happy to assume it’s 50/50 they just made kitten up.)

Well I am having ping spikes from 200 to 600ms this whole evening. Tried tracerouting and some isp between me and anet is giving huge ms spikes.

im having some sort of weird problem my ping looks normal my game freezes what seems like a massive lag spike then when game runs again everything is running faster like its catching up while this happens players names from the guild im in say there online in a list in my chat and people say that at that moment i went offline even thoe im still actually in game ive run gw2 repair but nothings changed even resetting modem and router dont fix or restarting pc ive no clue on how to possibly fix this

I’m having a very similar problem, see this post.

Sometimes problems only happen at the last node before anet, and sometimes they happen before that.

Sometimes problems only happen at the last node before anet, and sometimes they happen before that.

That shows the packet loss is at your ISP. You should get in touch with them, and work with their support team to figure out what is wrong with your Internet service.

Once that is fixed, there may still be other problems, further down the path to anet — but you will see the packet loss become higher, and stay higher, only at a further node, not right after your packets leave your system.

Good luck.
