Guild Wars 2

Hey guys, i dont see any posts about the insane lag we all get when we goto these big events like Jormag, Shatterer etc.

I have 18 FPS in these events and that is pretty good because there are alot of ppl around, but my skills are delayed and the game just feels very laggy! My computer is not the best in the world but plays Crysis 3 on ultra, so its a bit more then mediocre.

I know Anet probally wont reply to my post but i can try to ask, and i send this question to you guys/girls too.

Will this lag ever be less?
Is it really my system? ( i know ppl with top notch rigs they still have lag )

I built a brand new cpu.

Gtw 660 ti and i7 3.6ghz etc

I have 21 fps during events like this. Skills don’t work. I do manage to get enough auto attacks off to get credit.

Thanks for the reply, that clears away my second question

Time to guest on low pop servers :p

I don’t have a problem with low FPS when i have the game at high settings. Its expected in these large fights you can’t really complain. But my framerate doesnt seem to improve even when i switch it to ‘Best Performance’ i.e everything low. I’d be happy if the game’s culling switched all the character models to sprites just to keep the framerate high and consistent.

The lags are getting ridiculously annoying!

Yes. Lag, especially skill lag, (or, more often, skills being completely untriggerable), is worse than it was a few months ago. So far, what ever steps they have taken to combat lag/culling issues, have just made things notably worse, not better.

I hope they have metrics that show this and fine enough date on the bottlenecks to some day fix the issues.

Noobix i think your SSD disk helps alot in this situation, but we are not all that rich to get one only for GW2.. i already bought new CPU and GPU for this game. And it meets way more then the system requirements for this game!

Yes I love the frame rate of 12 in these encounters. It adds so much to the game.

On a side note, the events are much underscaled.. and too easy for large groups. And because this is the only way to obtain any rares or special skins there will Always be a large crouwd.

Maybe a tip to remake these events in the future.

i would hope it is easy for large groups when you cant move and just stand there assuming you are auto-attacking as no numbers show up.

Server: Tarnished Coast
Zone: Diessa Plateau

I as noticing a lot of lag last night in northwest Diessa Plateau. There are a lot of DEs there and seemed to be a bit more people than usual there. But the lag in skills was very significant, as well as intense culling. It seems to be getting worse each month, rather than better.

I did not look at FPS, but that did not seem to be an issue for me (Radeon 6950).

I think someone ticked a wrong box when moving this. Not sure how persistent lag/culling issues in the game during large events, especially server lag that makes use of some skills impossible, (can’t even be triggered with key or mouse press), belongs in “Players helping Players”?

Bugs? Maybe. PHP? Has to have been in error.

Yeah, there are a lot of threads similar to this in Tech Support. Maybe they’re trying to see if people that troll other sub forums come across the same issues with larger dynamic events and chaotic 100+ person WvW battles.
