Those experiencing heavy lag and are connecting to Telias server at any point before it hops to Ncsoft servers Google Telia and ddos and lizard squad.
Those kiddies have been ddossing telias servers the last two weeks quite heavily and could relate to this episode of dc and stuff so all of the blame might not be on Anets/ncsoft server end.

This is getting even worse. I ‘ve got massive lags everywhere after 18:00 (totally unplayable dc after dc) and on second day I can’t even log in server(this is my first time when game is unplayable for me for hours). Client losts connection in every single time when I’m trying to get character panel, loading maps always finished with “lost connection”.

Same problem here today. The game has been quite unplayable. Spikes measured in the minutes when I try and do anything I get disconnected and back to the character select screen.

Checking response times across other sites and games and I’m not seeing any problems.

Yup. Third reset friday in a row where between 7 and 8 pm my time I dc and then cannot login for around 60-90 minutes. I have no network issues otherwise, no lag or anything either before or after this “event”. It’s the login server I connect to that simply dies during this time. EDIT: Which strongly suggests it’s getting overloaded – probably because of WvW reset – to the point of crapping out.

GMT here as i recon ( hell knows since we got winter/summer time).
And i got problems between 6pm-10pm.
I got this daily.
I can only play mostly at this time cuz of work.
Even daily is barely “do-able”.

Yup, the same thing happens to me. I can play the game just fine, except between 20.00 and 23.00 CET (prime time EU, Far Shiverpeaks). Then I start lagging, get a DC and there is no way in hell I can reconnect because the connection is always lost.

So… how long until Anet realizes the problem is on their end and fixes the matter? 1 year? 2? 10?

Ok.
This is good.
I was looking for source of problems. There were only 2 things left. My net provider messing up or Anet.
Since ppl now write about scheduled problems, it’s pretty obvious now.
Nice. I have 2 weeks of work in 10 days, wanted to play a bit as break between studying for exams.

Oh well, still got 10 days to decide between RoS or ESO.

It’s definitely not my net provider. WoW works like a charm, so does LoL, CoD multi and other games that require a connection.

Also, every site I go to opens in an instant.

Guildwars2.com, on the other hand, takes ages to load, I need to wait cca 5 minutes for the confirmation email to log in and even when I do press the play button, I get disconnected before even reaching the character selection screen.

Shame, really. I started playing the game again since May and wanted to buy some gems since there is finally a lot of new and useful content in the game. But seeing how their attitude towards critical issues such as this one hasn’t changed one bit (ignorance to the max) and how their IT department obviously doesn’t have a clue what they’re doing, I’m really glad I didn’t do the purchase.

If it was Telia that was causing this issues, then it would not be possible to play any other game without those lags, this is not the case at all, i have no issue with any other game, or any other internet related situation and i am connected to the net pretty much always.

Today it was my third reset where i get rubberbanding in eb, then dc and then impossible to log back in and i just can not be kitten d to sit here on my friday evening hitting log in 400 times hoping to finally manage to long in to wvw again.
I decided tonight after 4200 hours of playing gw2 that i will add a new game that i will log in to each time i can not play gw2.
Eventually i will probably switch to the new game unless A-net or rather NC-SOFT fix this, because i actually don’t think it is so much of a problem for a-net but more at ncsoft, or a-net would have said something about this issue long time ago like they have earlier. Not saying anything really indicate that the problem is with the third party and that they can not seem to find a solution that don’t cost to much or what ever other reason they have between eachother. A-net knows that things like this will cause them to bleed players, so i see no reason to why they would just sit back not caring.

Anyway, i am tired and sad, i loved this game so much, but the frustration it brings right now is not worth it, my time is more valuable then that.

So far it seems to happen for me only during evening hours, GMT+2 20:00-00:00. It’s currently happening, so it will probably go beyond that time. Issues I’m seeing is that client simply loses connection and often won’t reconnect, sometimes reconnects after minutes of waiting. I’m playing on Desolation. I’ve seen latency to gw2 servers go as high as 30 seconds, currently the highest is 270 milliseconds, which is still more than usual. Also a thing to note is that there are 2 people playing from my house, though the latency comes regardless whether we play at the same time or not.

Another thing I noticed when performing nslookup on the gw2 servers I’m connecting to, all 3 TCP connections are shown in google search with the location of Austin, Texas. Am I really connecting to US even though I live in Northern Europe?

Server: Gunnar’s Hold

Same stuff as before but not as severe. Usually at this time the issue has gone away but not today. The skills usually resolve within 5 seconds. Tried guesting on a different server to see if that helped but had the same issue.

-Edit-
Seems like I caught the end of the prime time lag. The issue has resolved itself for now. I’ll report if it does return this session.

If it was Telia that was causing this issues, then it would not be possible to play any other game without those lags, this is not the case at all, i have no issue with any other game, or any other internet related situation and i am connected to the net pretty much always.

Different games are hosted on different networks. When joined together, these networks form the internet. If Telia has an issue in one of their joints, you will experience issues when trying to access anything that goes through that specific joint. Everything else would work fine of course. If everything was lagging however, that would mean the issue was between you and your ISP. In this case however, the issue is between your ISP and NCSoft’s EU datacenter. Considering not everyone is experience lag, that rules out a problem with the GW2 servers, or at least some of them.

Throttling is another issue that can cause lag, but at a more specific level, can be very hard to prove and is considered illegal. Throttling basically works like a virus scanner scanning your internet traffic. Once a “virus” is detected, it throttles that specific connection, causing it to become unstable. This when you must use a VPN to hide your traffic.

Another thing I noticed when performing nslookup on the gw2 servers I’m connecting to, all 3 TCP connections are shown in google search with the location of Austin, Texas. Am I really connecting to US even though I live in Northern Europe?

Real world locations are registered by the owner of the IP. They’re not actually based on where they’re really located. If you bother to trace the EU IPs, they’re located in Frankfurt, Germany.

Which is why I ignored my own links with Telia since I have no other internet issues and it’s definitely GW that’s acting up, and only included the link between NCSoft and Telia.

EDIT: Looking through the other thread, this very server pops up in a lot of the pathping logs, even by people who don’t actually have Telia as a provider. Telia’s just the one responsible for a lot of EU connections to NCSoft.

I thought as much, thought the last tracert before ncsoft’s own routers/servers, ncsoft-ic-306349-ffm-b11.c.telia.net, seems to be in Switzerland instead. In any case, I’m also on telia’s network, though nothing else has latency issues.

Our guild is from NA (Crystal Desert) and we transferred to FSP about 18 months ago. I am in Green Bay, WI. CST I and another member of our guild (from Indiana) often experience the lag at the same time. It was once in a while about 2 months ago but now it has gotten to the point where it is every night. Between 6pm-9pm (probably longer but we all give up before then) it is so the game is unplayable in WvW.

Even in PVE it gets bad. The only time I really don’t have lag is around 5am cst. I know that we don’t pay a subscription for this game but I do spend a lot of money on gems. I would expect better. So for now I’ll login to visit and get some stuff done like dailies but I am exploring other options on how to spend my time now.

Please fix soon as I enjoy this game the most.

Played just fine half an hour ago, suddenly lag from hell, disconnect, and I’ve been unable to log into the game since. The website was also down for quite a while so that I couldn’t even log onto my account here and come whine in this thread. This is getting really unacceptable without any acknowledgment from ArenaNet.

This has been going on almost daily from the November 18 patch, during EU primetime. I have no other connection issues outside GW2. Some words of encouragement from the devs would already do wonders: is there any idea where these issues are coming from? Is anyone working on solving the issue? The lack of communication from the devs is infuriating and slowly ruining this game I love and enjoy quite a lot.

Seriously. I’ve had enough of this now. I’ve been experiencing major lag since you released Silverwastes. I can’t play during the evenings and it’s only GW2 that I have any issues with.

I can’t believe that you’re not treating your player base better.
I buy A LOT of gems but I won’t buy another gem until this is solved. I’m so tired of this now and after 3300 hour spent in your game, always defending it and talking good about it, it’s now time to do something else during the evenings when this is totally unplayable.

I think everyone else out there that is affected by this should do the same thing.
I haven’t played WvW, or dungeons in the evenings since this started. Because it’s just not possible.

Sometimes I can’t even reconnect to the game for 60-90 minutes.
I’ve tried port 80 and like 10 repairs.

I play on Far Shiverpeaks and live in Sweden.
Had game freeze up for like 5 minutes sometimes, but the chat still worked..
Dc 7-8 times / hour is not unusual during prime time.. Lucky if I even can get back in that night if logged out…

Edit: I’m usually only in wvw, so lags matter a lot to me – the few times I’m in pve I don’t notice any lag. But again, it wouldn’t be important to me if i were lagging in pve anyway, so maybe I just don’t notice, or maybe it’s only in wvw.

Ok this is getting silly annoying, to the point of completely loosing interrest logging in anymore.
I only play wvw and pvp sometimes, I have no lag what so ever but every 10-30 min (in wvw) game completely lags out for 1-3 minutes. When this happens (I die ofc) there is a 50% chance of dc or everything that happened in the freeze occurs extremely fast all the sudden and i can play for some minutes with no lag and then BAM dc.

This only occurs in primetime and only with GW2, every other game/internet works like a charm.

I also have the same problem the other recent posters have, seen this yesterday and today and before that I haven’t tried to play at this time of the day.

I always have disconnections but these days have been lot worse with the not being able to login or reach a map with a character.

Just logged in another account over different (mobile) connection, it’s been stable while the other was completely berserk. The one that acts up is a Telia-related connection (I’m fond of assigning blame to Telia -> /point).
I haven’t gotten pathping to work, gets stopped before it even leaves my computer/router so no idea.

Finland/Piken/Telia(Sonera)/40-ish minutes ago.

At this moment it all seems to be fine though.

But what’s funny.

If You type wrong password. The response from server is instant. “wrong password”.

And hey. Look on the bright side. Since nobody is responding after that -port thing that was suppose to help , it must mean that everything is fine. \o/

Doing a fractal run, first fractal absolutely no lag, delay on skills or latency of any kind. Smooth and playable as it should be. As soon as we port into the second fractal, massive constant lag spikes and rubber-banding. Up to 90second delay on looting something.

I rebooted my router, I logged into Lion’s Arch without any lag at all but as soon as I rejoined my group on this bad fractal server, I had the exact same issue.

ISP: Zen (BT Wholesale) [What BT Wholesale means, is that it’s a business network with absolutely NO restrictions at all!! I.E no primetime thortelling]
Country: UK
Realm: Seafarer’s Rest
Server IP: 206.127.159.84
Time: 21:00 GMT

[EDIT] Please refer to the attached screenshot of a WinMTR test () which shows that there is absolutely ZERO packet loss on my connection up until it hits the server IP 2016.127.159.84 at which point I get around 5% loss.

Also, now on the 3rd factal, different server IP 206.127.146.49 and there is no loss, lag or latency of any kind, everything is as smooth as it should be.

How does it look on me? See for yourself. Btw, game chat work fine.

For me, GW2 is unplayable in hours from 18 to 23 every day (Polish time), and so already for a month.

If it was Telia that was causing this issues, then it would not be possible to play any other game without those lags, this is not the case at all, i have no issue with any other game, or any other internet related situation and i am connected to the net pretty much always.

Different games are hosted on different networks. When joined together, these networks form the internet. If Telia has an issue in one of their joints, you will experience issues when trying to access anything that goes through that specific joint. Everything else would work fine of course. If everything was lagging however, that would mean the issue was between you and your ISP. In this case however, the issue is between your ISP and NCSoft’s EU datacenter. Considering not everyone is experience lag, that rules out a problem with the GW2 servers, or at least some of them.

Throttling is another issue that can cause lag, but at a more specific level, can be very hard to prove and is considered illegal. Throttling basically works like a virus scanner scanning your internet traffic. Once a “virus” is detected, it throttles that specific connection, causing it to become unstable. This when you must use a VPN to hide your traffic.

Another thing I noticed when performing nslookup on the gw2 servers I’m connecting to, all 3 TCP connections are shown in google search with the location of Austin, Texas. Am I really connecting to US even though I live in Northern Europe?

Real world locations are registered by the owner of the IP. They’re not actually based on where they’re really located. If you bother to trace the EU IPs, they’re located in Frankfurt, Germany.

Well i did bother with tracert, i actually made several and that is why i can tell you that the problem is not me, nor telia. The problem becomes a problem when it reaches ncsoft, were there are huge package loss for each jump starting on 93-97% and after that each jump have a 100% package loss.

I live in US Central and have a pretty decent 15mbs download and 9mbs upload, I play on EU server Gunnar’s Hold, and it has been very stable for the whole 7 months I’ve been on it.

But recently I’ve been getting frequent lag spikes at insane intensity and rate. I have not been able to do dungeons all week long. I simply lag out to the character select. The frequency and intensity have become much more pronounced since the release of Seeds of Truth patch.

Just this morning I was attempting Arah with a few friends (3 man run) and we all disconnected after 3 bosses and the instance was not saved hence losing all our progress.

Please note that any other online game functions perfectly fine with ping as low as 20ms but GW2 seems to be struggling.

I should mention that the game did offer to run the “repair” functionality a few days ago, did not read the whole thing and instead let it do it’s thing.

Port 443 does not work, still unplayable on evenings. To recap chat works fine, game totally lags out and at the end disconnects and/or complains that login servers are not accessible.

And the lag is back right now.
Impossible to play and will probably be for about 6-7 more hours.

Having freeze lags for 2-3 minutes now without dc. The game kind of just fast-forward x20 and when it’s back in sync there’s another freeze lag.

Great. Actually I disconnected manually today. I’m out.

Yeah, seems like it starts the lagfest for me around this time as well. Same every sunday it seems. Just letting you know.

I’m pretty sure there are tons of players who don’t bother posting on forums about this too, so hopefully will get sorted fast. This might be that “last nail to the coffin” for some people.

Had the issue for over a week. So reinstalled Gw2 from scratch today and it seems to have fixed it. No error codes or dc in sight. If you ppl havent tried it yet, do so.

EDIT: code 7/42 returned the next day.

Nope, downloaded/installed from cd – still the same. Even OS change didn’t help.

I usually get it in wvw (Eternal Battle Ground and Ring of Fire Borderlands), sometimes it is just a bit, but sometimes it totally disconnects me. Also chat doesn’t work for me…

And here we go again in wvw
No lag what so ever, all the sudden game freezes for 2 minutes and DC (like usual)
The added bonus this time is I cant log back in after resetting router/computer.
Internet seems fine and can play other games with no lag.

Time 19:00
Server: SFR
ISP: Telia

Any1 got a clue whats going on? This only happens in primetime, and from what i read from here it happens to alot of players. Is this a a-net thing, a zone thing or a ISP thing?

Just seems strange that it only happens with GW2 and only in primetime.

You are loosing players for future game projects by not adressing this faster and better, 1 post about a Port in 15 pages just aint enough customer support. NOT EVEN CLOSE
