My daily disconnection! It’s returning like an old, unwanted guest.
Same symptoms as always – gume runs smootly until – bang —-—game lost connection, unable to relog (please wait hour or two and maybe you will be allowed to finish your dailies. Perhaps). This time at 22:10. Peforming my daily pathping…
Horrible lags this evening. Guild missions (1 disconnect), Crucible of Eternity (1 disconnect from guild member), fractals (1 disconnect from guild member). After each map or fractal change, a different person had the lags.

I don’t know if this problem has anything to do with that, but started happening after lags started. Game crashes just after Karka Queen gets killed, lost 2x whole loot now. You have my crash report!
I would like to play GW2, but it is just impossible.
For the last 2 days, GW2 client has huge problems connecting to ,,login server’’ (barely loading friend list), abilities have big delay and the entire tragedy usually ends up with a kick. I was stupid enough to que for ranked sPvP match twice.
I was able to took ip of the sPvP server I was playing on: 206.127.159.137
Strangely, sending pings to it results in constant 30 ms, so the problem lies somewhere else. Delay problems are both in HoTM and in a match room. I wasn’t able to check anywhere else.
i usually never post anything on forums but this is just annoying,this is for over 3 months now and you did not fix it yet, But lets not forget all about your updates in last 3 months which are all include the goal of better profit out of game… this way how it going now is not good from my eyes, but yes who im to judge ,,, oh yes im a player? and ill quit this game,in short period if it continue like now.
I also had the lag issue since about mid november, but yesterday and today I was able to play between 7:00 pm CET and 8:30 pm CET, without changing anything on my end. The game performed flawlessly in these last 2 days, but it was really unplayable for the previous few weeks during this time of the day.

Brief description of what you’re seeing : Lags … Freezes … sometimes 1 min. freeze when i cant do nothing.
This is ridiculous. 2 moths from start of that thread … many posts … and what?
This game is unplayable now … I mean mass WvWvW or huge champs events.
I can run over that big world and train minning or something like that … swimming … but wait this is Guild Wars 2 right? Mass PVP battle right? Hmm … well that problems with lags and freezes must stop please.
You created a great game … but please … be tech support and do something.

Description : Rubberbanding of players/myself in all areas in game (including HoTM, LA, WvW) , delay in skills (up to 5 seconds), chat delay in all different chats of up to 5 seconds too. Already determined that it is not my internet, browsing, playing another online game and buffering videos/ speedtest/ ipchange/ dns change all done and working fine. Current ping showing 500ms and up to 800ms ping to Guildwars 2 game servers, specifically 400-500ms to even the guild wars 2 website.
Average working ping before incident has been between 180-240ms (ports forwarded 6112-6600,443,80)
Born and raised in Desolation EU, never moved from the second beta.
No lag on other games.
Today, Dec 15, at 21.30 I got in WWW, Deso borderland, had long lag spikes, game didn’t catch up and I was dced 4 times. Lag in WWW increased from september, but last 2 weeks make impossible for me to play in WWW.
Today 16 Dec, after patching I had a lot less lag in pve maps, even at peak hours, 21-22. Then around 23 I was in DR playing Tixx instance and suddenly got dc 3 times.

I got thrown out of the airship a while ago after few minutes of lag and could not login for a bit, I got pathping to work but I have no idea what it all means. It may have been too late since things worked again soon enough.
The results show Telia with 0% whatever, a line with both ncsoft and Telia in it shows 100% as do next two others, but the last one, the server I typed in, is again 0%. Thing is, all the results show this, even the ones that I did now when it works well.
I have no idea what I am looking at here.
…Actually I looked at posts by others and the last four lines look similar to me with three 100% and one 0%.
Logged in over another (mobile, different ISP) connection which worked well and watched my other accounts not functioning but I was not able to use pathping with that thing.
Similar to two days ago but so far it only was about 10-15 minutes today. Yesterday I wasn’t playing at this time.
Ok so tonight almost exactly at 6pm cst, which is also the reset time for me on FSP, lag kicked in hard. I am in Silverwastes on a map that is only about 20% so not a lot of activity. Not to mention that for most of my Euro buddies it is 1am their time. Game is unplayable. I have been staring at the loading screen for silverwastes for the last 8 minutes.

100% packet loss at your servers. If i were you I wouldn’t sleep until this gets resolved, not drag it for 2 months while it affects loyal players.
So i know, the paketloss on ncsofts servers are resulted from blocking the signal. So nothing to worry about.
Everyone will get this result with a pathping test to the servers.
Have nothing to do with the problem here.
Ventari says: “Act with wisdom, but act”
Meme says: “Meme?”
When looking at pathping results, you don’t really want to care about 100%‘s unless it’s your destination and even then, that could just be it ignoring pings.
In the above example, ncsoft-ic-306349-ffm-b11.c.telia.net, is dropping some pings which could mean a few things. It could simply be limiting the amount of responses or it could be actually overloaded and dropping packets.
If you notice the number below the main line, that is the packet loss between the two hops, which in the above case is 0%.
So it seems this thread is completely dead, no support/replies whatsoever, however my lag issue has sort of gone away except for all instances of joining arenas in spvp where the lag is intense and makes it impossible to play. So I guess I can give up that aspect of the game for awhile until A-net can pull their heads out of where the sun don’t shine to let us know what is going on or you know to provide so called “support.”
Right, this marks the third week of being almost completely unable to play the game. Im seriously considering uninstalling the game and just not bothering to come back to it until this is resolved. It is just wasted effort to even attempt playing at the moment.
We’ve been investigating this issue and have something for those affected by latency and disconnect issues to try out.

Most of the pathpings seem to look ok until they reach the EU servers, only dropping off afterwards once they continue to the Austin servers.
Bill, could you give us a short technical explanation of why the IPs of the EU players all continue to resolve to the Austin/Texas datacenter after going through the Frankfurt/Germany one?
There’s a lot of … ‘interpretation’ going on, with the assorted doomsaying. A little insight into why the data looks as it does might be helpful.

Notice how the location goes from Germany to Texas in a single hop with a minimal difference in response time? Either NCSoft has really advanced technology or…
Don’t believe IP geolocation services. The location is simply based on who owns the IP address. In this case, the owner is registered as NCSoft in Texas.
As for the problem with the EU servers, the problem is in fact not limited to GW2. WildStar EU, which is at the same location, is experiencing the same problems. There seems to be a problem with one or more of the routes dropping packets that are headed for NCSoft’s datacenter. A VPN will fix the problem if you can find one in the right location to reroute your traffic around the problem. Supposedly there’s a good link in the Netherlands. The WildStar forums have more people confirming this, however, unfortunately most of them have not provided reliable traces. They’re recommending using a 30 day free trial of WTFast, which some people should probably do if they want to prove it’s not GW2’s fault.

Yeah, I was scratching my head about that one. The 62.xx.xx.xx. address is localized correctly, the 206.xx.xx. one hops across half the world. Meh, internet … it’s all magic anyway.
Right now I can’t even log in. It’s the same crap I brought up a number of days ago, and it’s seriously starting to get on my nerves. 3/5 times the launcher won’t even let me log in, and when I do get logged in and press play, I either can’t click the Play button on character select, or the map load just never completes.
Patch arrived.. absolutely unplayable.
Dced 10+ times since patch was released 80 minutes ago.
Stopped counting at 10. Now I can’t log back in.
Did you want to save money so you shut down 50% of your servers? How is this even possible!? I guess Anet is having vacation around Christmas.. and the lags will probably not be fixed before that.
If we even get a reply before Christmas I’ll be surprised.
How can i do dail PvP or WvW if game dc me every 5-10 min?
Why we need new content if we cant play it? (first fix what we have now, then add new things)
New Login Reward System Daily Achievements? Trust me, not so easy log in to this game now
As expected, game is unplayable after the patch. All aspects of the game are laggy and only thing to blame is the ignorance towards this thread and the cry for help from players for atleast a word on progress towards fixing or solving the problem. Lots of nice new stuff in the gemstore that I will not be buying this year, I give up on your game.
Patch downloaded extremely fast , yay! And immediately when it finished download game is unable to log in. Nay….
Every patch day is a bug day in every MMO, so it was bit expected and pardoned. But I really hope they will catch and zap the bugs that are flying around since last few patches first before they move forward in distributing new content.
The schedule of the updates is bit tight and they seems lacking people to keep up with what management planned ahead. And this is clearly manager’s fault.
Back to the topic: game kicked me two times, but for some strange reason Tequatl DIDN’T lag at all and was successfully killed. But! 20 minutes later I am standing still in the mount maelstrom and lagging bad…. disconnected. It’s time for my daily pathping test. I think I should have made macro, it’s daily problem
massive lags, players port back and forth so i cannot even try to foresee any movement
for i am in a progressive WvW-guild, thats killing GW2 for me.
todays is the 3rd day since 7 days i had to quit the raid/game because it’s just unplayable
Germany
every day, GMT
PvE/WvW every map
as stated above > porting players, freezing screen for about 2-10 seconds and then i get to see what happened in that time.. skills used blink for same 2-10 seconds and then activate like on cocaine
It’s been 25 minutes since my last post, and through some very tedious and persistent relogging I’ve managed to complete the gathering part of the daily. Yes, just the gathering.
