Guild Wars 2

This has something that’s been happening to me for quite some time now. Not every day, but sporadically. And just now it happened again at the end of a dungeon, causing me to lose out on the entire reward.

The issue at hand is the game freezing, yet not crashing or disconnecting. Skills stop responding, players stop doing anything, whatever mobs are nearby stop doing anything. Audio continues. However, I can still talk in party and guild. People I talk to can read my response, but the game shows nothing updating besides chat. This has happened at world bosses, dungeons, and even standing around doing nothing.

I’ve waited upwards to maybe 2-3 minutes before, and never disconnect. I always have to close the client manually and relog. If I don’t, it remains in the frozen state, yet able to communicate with other people.

Any idea why this happens, and what I can do to fix it? This seems to be the only real tech issue I’ve been happening with GW2.

i have exactly the same proble and it start 2 or 3 days ago in my case. it is getting very annoying.

This has been happening within the last 24hrs… as previously said; I can see others moving, I can hear sound, I can type, but I cant use any skills or attacks. I cant walk through doors in WvW… I have to close my game and log back in to play normally, but only for maybe a few minutes. I thought it was an issue with my connection, but it’s clearly an issue on Anet’s end…. Is this being looked at all?

lately the game has awefull lagspikes – which results as chat lag, skill lag, world lag – and let’s not forget my favourite – disconnecting while there are more players at the same place.
Of course after sending a ticket to anet, they politely answered that it’s probably my pc’s or ISP connection’s fault.
I work in a ISP center and i know how things usually work – it’s always a “problem on the clients side” – so for now we can’t do kitten about it, we can just wait for them to release a hidden patch while we’re “working to fix it on our side”

I’m having the same problems.. GW2 has become a chat client and not a very good one at that. I was fine until today.
