Game is very laggy

Hello,

Please can someone help me, I bought myself this game and I bought my girlfriend a copy but we find this game is almost unplayable, we suffer from a lot of lag and delayed actions and we don’t understand why. We also play WoW and League of Legends and it’s absolutely fine there, 30-40ms in both games.

We live in the UK and our ISP is Sky, does any one know what could be causing this?

Thanks!

It’s their servers. They’re great at this. Been like this for the past 3 days for me. Play all day and works brilliantly – 5.30 on the dot the lag begins. Still carry on trying to play and this time (6.45) the servers get all “rammed” up and the lag makes it unplayable.

LOADS of people are having this problem but nobody is writing on the forums, they all think it is their connection or something else that is the problem – fact is their servers suck and they have yet to acknowledge this. The game is playable in the UK from 11pm (I have found) until 5.30pm the following afternoon. Between 5.30 and 10.30 you might as well not bother. 90% of my guild suffer with the problem, but some don’t – it’s extremely random and thoroughly frustrating.

Hi Bastien welcome to guild wars, it seems english players around 6pm onwards are all having huge lag problems, no official word from Anet on the subject yet so I don’t really know what to say.

I play this game with my partner and any other time is fine (also used to be fine at this time ALL the time before the new update) its just 6pm – 12am (midnight) I see the lag and throw my hands up in the air and say that’s my guild wars for the day… I’m sure they will fix the issues so don’t lose faith in the game, but hey what a bad time to start huh? ^^
