Guild Wars 2

Anyone else getting any lag? Ive never had it but since Saturday its been on my kitten like crazy. Every skill i use freezes then is used like 3-4 seconds later and ppl appear to teleport back and forth while they walk.

Asked around in game and some people are getting this as well.

Yeah, a lot of people are getting this. They also seem to have broken some temple events.

havent been able to play like i used to. Cant really do anythin but dungeons lol.

No lag. I’ve been playing on wireless connection last couple weeks without any lag.

A lot of people are confusing the fps drops they are getting with world events with lag. It’s cuz your cpu can’t handle everything that’s going on. But if you notice, all your skills are still activating right when you press them (ie no lag).

Were you in Queensdale/Wayfarer/Caledon/Metrica or fighting a dragon when the lag started? There are some free loot bosses there that attract lots of free loot farmers and cause all sorts of problems.

You might wanna take a look in the support sections and then come back and tell us there is no lag and abilities are firing off without issues… its all over the place now.. culling is worse and in every map, ability delays not just at dragon events, sound stutters, black maps, text boxes missing texts and graphics, UI delays not to mention the many not so random, random DC’s and 3-10 second game pauses… then add in your FPS woes it makes for a real soup bowl of performance issues. Maybe ping the server routes for 24hrs and then tell us everything is ok… if it were then I am sure ANET would of been only too happy to tell us so…. but they don’t seem in too much of a hurry to speak up on the subject in case it opens up a real can of worms.
The game had issues handling large events right out of the box, now add in the effects that guesting for guaranteed loot (plus increased popularity of events to home server players as well), increasing numbers of guild events going on… its kinda obvious there are some real issues going on server side but of course there will always be those that say “its all make believe, I’m fine, no lag here so its all in our heads…. blah blah blah” – yeah sure some issues can be isolated to individual rigs, ISP’s etc but there are just too many map chat convo’s, ANET forum posts and 3rd party forum posts talking about it to be just a random joe with a $199 laptop hardware problem.

I’ve been getting a lot of lag as well. And it’s not the same issue as the big dragon fights (although I have skill lag there)

Just past 24 hours or so. Even in unpopulated areas/cities. I noticed when I was healing a downed npc, that the bar would move, stop, then spurt ahead.

I’m unsure if this is just my connection but I don’t think so. I’ve never had problems with it before over the last 7 months of GW2.

Past couple days ive been getting pretty lag. Playing the game is almost impossible atm with abilities having a 1 or 2 second delay for them firing off.

i had 40 fps yesterday when the lag was goin on. It started in spvp and then stayed with me thru dungeon runs/orr/wvw. I have used the rush skill off cliffs so many times due to mob dying and then my skill hitting delayed and then i fly off :P
