Guild Wars 2

Hey guys,

I would just like to let you know that my game is now filled with lagging and DCs.
I don’t know what happened, but it started yesterday after Wing 2 patch.

I’m experiencing latency spikes as high as 500.
Edit: Now it is 3000.
edit 2: almost 5000

I have it too and it’s pretty bad. Every 2 minutes my ping goes so high the whole screen freezes for about 10-20 seconds. It’s highly annoying and didn’t start until after patch.

When you are experiencing the lag get the map IP, and run ping plotter using that IP as the target. That will show you where the problem is.

Uhm, then I will contact the support, tell them post-patch this and that node started to be problematic and they tell me it is not their fault and I should contact my ISP. Happened to me before, and I don’t believe it. When everything runs fine and then there is some patch that ruins everything, it can’t be a coincidence.

Edit: well, anyway, I just logged in now, and it looks the problem is gone. Hopefully it stays like that

Good luck anyway.

If the latency issue is server related (game server) then it would affect everybody in the game not just random people. With that being the case then the issue lies somewhere between your PC and the game server. If there is nothing wrong with your ISP then the issue is on one of the many nodes between them. Posting a screen shot of your ping does nothing to help you or anybody. Ping plotter is the only way to determine where the problem is and who needs to fix it.

Well yeah, Anet doesn’t own the nodes you connect through to access their server. That is how the internet works.

So if there is an issue with your connection through the internet, your ISP (whom you pay to access the internet) is the one who takes note of the node having issues, and they are supposed to contact them.

Anet can only handle their servers and their ISP. Everything else isn’t on them.

I’m having same troubles – lags, rubber banding, ping going over 1k and more; I’m being constantly connected by some kittenty server on land-line connection while mobile one works perfectly and stable. How that can be?

That’s how the internet works. And it’s not the server giving you an issue. There is some node between you and Anet having a problem, and your land-line connection is hitting it while your mobile connect is not.
