Guild Wars 2

Hello people,

I know I must sound like a million others when I say this, but since the patch I have been encountering a few issues. Keep in mind that I did take a month or 2 hiatus from GW2, but I just started playing again after the patch got released because the content looked great

Anyway, Here is a list of the things I have encountered.

- My loading times into zones have increased substantially.
- Logging into my character screen takes a long time. Sometimes the character icons at the bottom and the UI will load first but the background/characters will stay black.
- When I’m in-game, my latency will sometimes be fine at 70-80 ms, but other times it will spike to 500 ms or more. The spikes only tend to last for a few moments. I believe it may be related to having to load animations or textures. I tried lowering my graphics quality to the lowest settings and it didn’t appear to help at all.

I have seen other forums posts with similar issues. I have this gets solved. I really want to enjoy the content to its fullest :|

Considering this thread has been getting 0 attention, here is a trace route I ran for testing purposes. Keep in mind I’m on Darkhaven and I was simply standing in the Heart of the Mists.

Trace complete.

Looking at the trace, it all appears to be on Anet’s side, specifically once it hits Telia (which I am assuming is their service provider).

Many people are experiencing the same issue and it did begin after the June 23rd update. There are several threads on this topic already so lets try and combine them.
