Guild Wars 2

For the past couple days, I’ve been experiencing a ton of lag. Not FPS lag, but internet lag. As far as I can tell, my connection to other sites is fine, but GW2 seems to lag a lot nevertheless. Even load screens take ages sometimes. I am getting disconnected whenever the lag becomes too extreme. It worked perfectly just a few days before, and this problem has only just started occurring. Is there anything at all I can do about it?

There’s not much you can do about it unfortunately. I went through a very lengthy discussion with ANET reps and after insisting it was not on my end and providing evidence to back it up they finally told me they submitted it to their network engineers but told me that there was no guarantee that they would hear anything back.

It has been about a week since then and I still have the issue. It may NOT technically be on ANET’s end either, but if not it is definitely either their ISP or one of the geographical hops right before hitting their walls.

If it is the latter, I suppose we just have to wait and hope whoever manages that realizes it’s broken sooner rather than later.
