So, all of my guild mates that are PvEing are saying they have no latency issues, while I will sometimes see it brought up in sPvP map chat. On occasion, someone could be doing badly and blame lag sure but the amount of complaints I’m seeing from others is starting to pile up.

I, myself, have been kicked to character select from 5 sPvP matches so far today. Two just recently within the same 30 minute time frame. This makes it nearly impossible to test builds or even earn exp. First thought was maybe it’s just peak server time (five hours ago) so I take a break and go do other things. Come back and get the same issues. In PvE I did a story quest and a couple hearts with no issues; during my break I even watched a couple tv shows online and a few videos on youtube—other than a couple slow load times that lasted maybe 5-10 seconds before picking back up, nothing seemed to be bogged down. Now with this in mind I want to blame the servers HOWEVER I’m getting roflstomped by other players who don’t seem to be lagging at all seeing as how I go from full hp to downed by the time I recover from the spikes.

So, I’m just curious to know if anyone else is experiencing this and if not what could possibly be causing me to get kicked out of the game so frequently?

Note that I’m not downloading in the background, I’m not loading any movies/videos/etc. or doing anything differently that I did yesterday when I had zero issues.

give a test to services like

http://www.wtfast.com/
or
http://www.battleping.com/

they both have free trials, you can see if they help, if they do, and if they help others perhaps anet needs to build a similar system into their client.

remember all servers for GW2 are stateside so if your in the EU or UK or wherever your connecting to the US.
