I’m from SEA and I usually play in the morning and afternoon, Manila time (GMT+8), which is usually late night – early morning NA.

I have not had connection problems like this since last year. As stated in the title, I have been experiencing extreme skill/world lag (taking anywhere from a 1 second delay up to a minute for skills to activate after pressing them, while WvW fights are already done in real time while on my screen they are still happening), rubberbanding (especially when going through WvW tower/keep “portals”), and disconnects (Error 7). All of this since the Living Story Season 2 update.

This is not just a WvW problem; I have similar connection lag in PvE. I was wondering if this lag could be connected to the Living Story update, or if it is just a coincidence. Does anyone else have connection problems like this? Are there any possible ways to troubleshoot this or am I screwed? I’m hoping for answers since the game has become pretty much unplayable since the update.

Yep, same here. It’s gotten even worse since last night to the point where it’s almost unplayable.

Here’s an example from last night. Whatever the change was I hope that there’s a fix for it soon, it hasn’t improved since then.

The day before the Living Story update, everything was fine actually. My experience changed right after downloading the update.

It actually took me 30+ tries (no exaggeration) to get out of the starting area of Dry Top because of the insane rubberbanding that would happen whenever I used the Lightning Aspect. I sighed and turned off the game afterwards, checking it again every day to no avail. There’s no way I can fully navigate the new zone or play WvW (or any part of the game, for that matter) with these problems.

And I was starting to wonder if it was just my ISP (which is terrible by default, but never this bad). Seems there are a lot of us having these problems. I hope it’s addressed soon.

Constant lag/disconnects right before reset. Happens at other times too but it’s not nearly as bad as around reset time. I d/c’d 20 times in the past hour.

Can I ask you guys if you’re connecting via WiFi or Ethernet?

EDIT: I ask because I get horrible connection when using WiFi but normal when using Ethernet. I would also like to know whether others bad connection is consistent or does it go up and down as mine does?

… I still want tengu.

I suffered some lag in new content but since the small server side patch 2 days ago I have experienced a constant 1-2 second delay on any skill that jumps the character, such as thief steal, Heartseeker, warrior or guardians leaps. all maps.

The lag is still there for other skills but is unplayable for any positional skills. ie leap can see me relocate to a position the mob is no longer occupying.

High speed Cable connection, Brisbane Australia. ping and traceroute looks normal.

Have to echo this. I’m playing from Melbourne, Australia. I can log on, but trying to play any of my characters (in American servers) usually ends with a failure to connect, or if I do get on after waiting for 15 mins, my character can’t do any actions. This has been going on for 3 days or so now.

One of my guild mates was already reporting that his connection was slowed to a crawl 4 days ago.

Seriously, it has to be the game servers or some connection between Australasia to the American servers because there isn’t anything else that I play with this problem.

Okay, whatever the problem was, it was fixed for me yesterday. I was able to play normally after the GW2 Launcher downloaded a small update. I think the problem was with GW2 since it was the only game that was being affected.

Since morning (CET) it’s just series of lags and disconnects for me. Unplayable, I’m afraid.

Yup now its getting worse, seems late evenings, when the USA people get up it gets unplayble loosing connection every 2 min. Is there somekind of crosswire between the EU and US servers somehow?

This is fun, when I play PVP I get disconnected or enormous lags. When I play PVE everything is perfect, besides Dry Top with again enormous lags and other high populated areas, where I get almost unnoticable half of second lags.

It started recently, I’d say Tuesday

Logged in today, got to one of my characters but it was so laggy that I couldn’t even chat or use any actions. Several other tries and I couldn’t even load my characters. Always the same error: client cannot connect to game servers.

Have tried disabling antivirus software, have opened ports. Nothing works.

I did see some people in the server though. Is this affecting only a specific region? Are people from Australia / SEA getting shafted due to China?

Okay update: Have tried the following:
1) disabled antivirus – does not work
2) open ports – does not work
3) did a packet loss diagnosis – it’s all good

Since it’s the weekend I tried playing at different times. At 2 a.m. (10 GMT), I managed to play normally. at 10 a.m. (10 GMT) also no problems although a bit laggy. Tried today at 8 p.m. (10 GMT) and again at 10 p.m. (10 GMT). Cannot get to my characters again.

I can only conclude that the problem is not on my end at all. Would appreciate if there was someone who could help out. I only started playing late last year so I don’t know if this problem has been solved before.

I am also GMT+8 time zone. It started last weekend (2 days ago). PVE dungeons wvw all the same. One moment I am here, then other party members freeze somewhere they are heading to, 10-20 secs later the game just super speed getting updated and people are miles away while I am either dead or got kicked from the dungeons or still in a stacked spot downed, rally, downed, rally, battle continues XD.

The super speed update is just funny. But getting kicked, being yelled at, being called noob are not fun. Because while you stand still during the lagdoing nothing, others think you are lost and trying to show you paths in minimap and then start yelling while losing patience. You get what I mean XD.
