Guild Wars 2

Just as update I tried to play last night around 4 am and the gmae was flawless. Now it is lagging again a bit and sometimes I just ESC > Character Select > Relog in order to ‘sort of’ fix the lag. It works most of the time but yeah constantly having to do that is not going to be fun.

It is most likely a problem of the ti.net servers. Anet should be able to notify them and Telenor.

As already mentioned a lot of player from Norway are having issues with high latency only in GW2 during day time.

Can you merge the threads for easier Network issues reports?

Skill delay and rubber banding here too since last week. Game is next to unplayable.

County: Finland
ISP: DNA
Server: Piken Square

Same as above, skill lag and rubber banding everywhere ever since last Thursday, worse enough to make game unplayable currently. Problem only exists in GW2, everything else related to internet usage works fine.

Country: Finland

Huh, I’ve posted in a different part of the forums regarding this, but maybe it’s third time lucky! I was just running standard PvE, with varying seconds delay on skill usage.

Country: Norway
ISP: Telenor
Server: Seafarer’s Rest, EU

Edit: Since posting the above, I’ve been back in and experienced rubber-banding (first time ever in this game!), and even worse delays in skill fires. Still unplayable as a result.

Unable to play since last friday. Latency always above 400ms.

Same case here.

On Friday i was playing 100%, but when entered CoF started 10s delay. When i left dungeon, normal again. Then yesterday full lag in all places. Same today.

This lag in game for the last week has been unbearable. Interacting with vendors, using skills, everything in the game is delayed.

Every other game online works fine, so no Anet, it’s NOT my ISP.

I think it has to do with the patch they are planning next week. It happened several times when they made major living story updates such as Tequatl (was also completely unplayable then).
For me, since 2 or 3 days it gets unplayable around 18:00 CET.

And yes, only GW, all other web-traffic completely normal.

Anet, please fix this. Or stop doing These living Story things – or create a completely separate Server landscape for PvP and WWW that doesn’t get impacted by PvE patches.

Thought it was just me…

Absolutely unplayable. 1 to 3 seconds delay on everything average, with “waves” of upwards of 10 seconds of delay. “Lag warping” and outright disconnects as well.

Since the “server maintenance” the game has been completely unplayable for me.

Exactly the same problem for me.

Horrible network lags last few days. So it’s the same problem like other has.

LoL, this game is broken. They should fire the whole staff and hire someone who knows what they’re doing.
It’s amazing how GW2 have all these players when there are countless flaws that should give the players their money back.

GG Anet, GG.

Yeah same problem here. Been lagging the past 3-4 days and it doesn’t seem to get any better

Same issues, up to 50 secs skill delay and 90 fps for any reason….. Seems we’re loads both from norway and farshiverpeaks here. I tried to trace the connection trough CMD it didnt even connect.

Same problem from Norway.

Same here. This game is unplayable for me atm.

Same here. Thought it was my internet,
even tho I have a really fast internet.
So kinda “comforting” I see you guys with the same problem..
It’s nearly unplayable for me! x( From Norway, EU, btw.

Same here, been like this the last week. Never had constant lag like this before (300+ ms). My other online games work fine (30-50 ms). I also experience disconnects more often than before. The game is nearly unplayable.
Traceroute shows that the bottleneck is the Tinet.net gateways/servers, which are connected directly to the GW2 gameservers. I’m not sure, but my client was perhaps routed via another gateway before that didn’t cause this latency.
I really hope Anet will investigate this further.
Playing on Gandara (from Norway).

Same problem as Arya. With packetloss and high ping to Tinet.
Also from Norway @ Underworld

What the op says,game have became very laggy last couple days,makes it unplayable.
Never been an issue before.
Also from norway@Gunnars Hold

Same issues as the people above, with the game being unplayable since Wednesday.
Game is constantly laying in between 300-400ms in latency.
Country: Norway
ISP: Canal Digital (Telenor) – Cable

Same here, from Norway & Gunnars Hold
EDIT: Should mention its fine from about midnight and untill morning. Maybe because of less players online at those hours?

As all the others above me I too have lag,teleporting everywhere+2-3 seconds delay upon skill activation. And internet works just fine as well as other online games,they’re all perfect except for GW2.

I’m from Norway,Far Shiverpeaks server,EU.

Same Issue. Lag makes even PvE unplayable.
Server: EU – Piken Square
Country: Norway

As other people reported here already, every other internet related activity works fine. It’s just GW2. The issue has appeared 2-3 days ago.

It seems like there is a problem with the norwegian ISP: Telenor.
Probably send a ticket to them and anet. And let them both work it out

Im also from norway, using telenor… But its only gw2 that is having those issues, other games like swtor have 0 delay at all…

I have been having the same problem for weeks now, the game is completely unplayable for me.
I can play any other game perfectly…

Hey
i have recently got pretty big skill lags and dces and other forms of lagg in the game. At first i thought my internet was the problem, but then I tried to play with a friend with his internet and he could play fine but i still had laggs. I have also tried to use a cable and I am sure it isn’t my computer specs that are the problem. Can you please do something about it soon, because as for now the game is unplayabale
Country: Norway

Same problem as most of you. Having DCs, having 5-15 sec skill lag, rubberbanding constantly.
No other game has any lag, only GW2.
A fix would be preferable, as the game is unplayable at the moment.

Same problem from Norway.

as you see here there is LOAADS of people from norway having this issue, by any chance 50 % of those are also at far shiverpeaks. this was about 80 % of the people from that had lag was from norway. Il link the thread here and you’l see. somthing i also know is that all the servers which had issues there was by any chance in germany. And both sweedish and finnish internet trafic is prolyl going trough sweeden

.Might be a issue to sweden or sweeden’s connection with germany’s servers. even though sweden might not be affected due to they might have their own “channels” but both norway and finland’s internet trafic goes trough sweeden. and all that had issues on their server was placed in germany. so i belive that if you combine northwest EU + going to germany has some issues. i even tried to check my connection with the server…. it didnt even connect when i used CMD. hopefully this will help

I am also having major lag problems and I keep getting dc, for the last hour I’ve been logged out automatically for lost connection, and the two days I’ve owned this game it has been very unplayable =|

Ok, looks like all started 2~3 days ago. Would be nice to hear from the tech guys…

Crazy lags here as well, noticed it after the maintenance a few days ago. Sometimes none of my skills work for over a minute, guess I am lagging in a corner instead of the place my screen shows me.

I have been having major lag issues since around early December. The WvW game mode is literally unplayable for me at present when any major fight breaks out. When there is no fighting it is fine. Prior to lag getting bad in December, I had no problems with lags for the 3 or so months before that.

I have extreme lag at random multiple hour long windows during the night. It is not all day long. However I am not in Norway. I am on East Coast USA and play on Fort Aspenwood.

For those in the USA experiencing recent lag for the past month or so: I have been working for about a week or so with ANET though forwarding them various ping/tracert results and timestamped graphs explaining the issues/when they happen/and what the tracerts report during those times, and they have been awesome with both providing information in return and hearing what I have to say as well.

I know a lot of people are giving ANET flak for not doing anything about this but let me tell you based on the info we have traded back and forth there is no obvious cause or solution.

So I just managed to play for a bit without too much of the lag (maybe .5-1sec delay at most), and this is around 1 am Norwegian time (server reset). Most of my friends list was offline at this point, and I noticed the more logged off, the less lag there was.

Country: United States
ISP: Cox Communications
Server: Fort Aspenwood

Lag is getting worse, day by day.
Game is nearly unplayable.
Skills taking several seconds to activate.
All players/mobs freezing on screen for several seconds.
Rubberbanding.
Unable to gather as nodes do not respond.
Cannot pick up loot/open chests as game does not respond.
Load times between waypoints taking excessively long times.

For me, this all started the day of the DDoS attacks and has been getting worse ever since. Supports only response is “it’s a known issue and we are working on it, sorry”.

Heavy lag for a few days, specially every evening. It wasn’t that bad before.

Yesterday went well until the server reset. When the famous world train began(actually, about 5 mins later), I was unable to do anything! (in their map or not, aswell)

Probably the huge amount of people on at the same time…. Don’t know.
Friday I got some lag and saturday too, but on random times and it lasted for hours.

Only had an issue with skill lag a few times before, and they were very short instances that came and went. Yesterday the game was unplayable for me.
Unpopulated maps would leave me with skill lag of a minute+. Tried doing numerous world boss events and wouldn’t get credit because the boss would die before a single attack activated. Got kicked back to character selection screen about 6x during the day before I gave up.
Never had this issue before, wondering if their maintenance is the cause?

Same here since this friday, at times the game becomes unplayable because of the skill delay.

Hello.

Just wanted to reply to show my frustration aswell. Having the same problems.

I have this same scenario. Since the attacks, the game is severely rubberbandy and just a pain to play sometimes. I did see a Dev, Bill I think, post that they are working on some server side maintenance but didn’t have any ETA.

The same problem here, skill lag and disconnected of server. Other online games are fine.

Having same problem as everyone else. High latency makes playing anything but casual pve impossible at the moment. It has been this way the last 10-15 days.
All other online games run smoothly.

Would be awesome if we could get some sort of reply here, just so that we know that someone is actually taking this problem seriously. I mean it cannot be so hard to write a 2 line answer that Anet is actually aware of this problem and looking into it.

Same here.
Norway and ISP is Telenor.
My pathping is just like the ones posted here

Please Anet make my game work again. :-)

Same issue. I keep getting disconnected as well. Gets much worse in the evening.

Insane skill lag never seen before. Desolation/Lithuania in da house ;D

Experiencing the same issue as pretty much everyone else in this thread. Skill delay isn’t quite as long as some other people have posted, but it’s still at least 2s most of the time. The rubberbanding when using leap/movement skills and WvW portals isn’t exactly helping either. Completely unplayable.

ISP: Telenor (Shocking, I know)

Been getting weird load issues randomly when it comes to player skins(lions arch was full of purplish red default skin wearing players and it seems to have carried over to random places since friday) and had a bunch of weird issues with my skillbars over the weekend, they were see through whenever i switched…never had these issues pre patch on friday so hoping they go away tmw with the major patch,

Im in the UK on Pikans Square and use talktalk if that helps.

Unplayable here too last days.

Rubberbanding and skill lag.

So many Norwegian people having problems? Same here. Canal Digital though.

Returning player, found myself in a pool of lag, fluxuating from day to day. Varying between delays of 2 sec to several minutes, at times the game becomes unplayable.
