Am I the only one experiencing delays?
You are not alone, the forum is full of ppl including myself that are experiencing, extreme lags, skills that take 10 sec to activate, then all of the skills in the que activating at once, often leaving my toon dead. My guildies see me teleporting all around them and I see others jumping around me. Suddenly finding myself dead at the bottom of a cliff. Then after several minutes of freezing get d/c to character screen with a 7:11 etc error. I also have had my ISP check all my lines replaced my modem, upload and download speeds have actually increased. I have removed any programs running in the background. Increased my ram, had my system checked by my local tech group and am having my company tech guy coming next week to do a final run through. Has been happening for the last week (have been playing since launch) and as far as I can tell there has been very little word from ANET except they think it is their server issue. My FPS does not seem to vary when I d/c. WvW is almost unplayable and forget dungeons, fractals and personal story line.
I have loved this game and love my guild but I am rapidly loosing heart that ANET will fix this. Especially seeing that the d/c issue has been around for months.
I’m suffering lag so bad too! It’s been happening for the last week or so. I do speed tests and get normal results, all other games play with no lag. It makes even SAB impossible to play!! I think I’m running around just fine only to find 30secs later that some monkey hit me 4 times in a row and I’m now dead!
I ran into this for the first time last night while playing spvp – never experienced this in this game before but basically exactly as you all describe. Previous to that, I was starting to have an issue with severe drops of FPS while in situations with a lot of area effects going on (again in spvp in fights or while getting pegged by the trebuchet in khylo). Not sure if the two are related – seem different but clearly some problems have been introduced with recent releases of the software.

I Must agree with this user! I won’t play again till they fix it!

EDIT: my friend on the same network doesn’t have this issue so what the heck is wrong with my game?
It’s borderline ridiculous in it’s current situation. My only guess is that the servers are performing some kind of capacity throttling. Every day it’s the same 7pm GMT- 11pm GMT = unplayable.

Who knows, maybe the removal of culling is causing the servers to bog down… could be anything. There were times where things like this happened in WoW (I know I know people hate the comparison but too bad) and it ended up having to do with the network trunk hosted by AT&T and had nothing to do with Blizzard – theres really no telling what is going on but it sure would be nice if ANet would at least give us some kind of indication that they are aware of our complaints and looking into it.

There are quite a bit of ways that Windows networking can get broken. I use an older version of the following program and it works great. I have tested it on XP, Vista and 7 – I haven’t had the opportunity to test it on Windows 8 yet.
Unfortunately, the company that made it no longer exists (Rizone), but it is a very good program. It’s the only tool I use now to repair Windows network issues:
