same problems, different day. fastweb, italy ofc. it happens only in certain maps, right now it’s impossible for me to get in lion’s arch without at least 2 mins of lag/disconnect. once in LA i can’t move because it causes crashes. i was playing smoothly until 1 pm, then here we go again with lag and crashes.
same for me, fastweb from italy and i’m stuck with my main pg in cursed shores with too many lag and disconnect. with another pg i can play in a different map and no lag…
Israeli player here. The game became unplayable two-three days ago. I did multiple pingtests and speedtests and my connection is good and stable to all the European countries.
ISP is Bezeq Int.
Does anyone even read this forum? I have yet to see a post from someone from Anet about this…..Not even a “we are aware/working on it/don’t give a rat’s kitten #8221;
From what i have read, GW2’s eu servers are located in Frankfurt. with the help of my husband i did some tests and checked several servers in the same location. No problem whatsoever, my speed was around 75mb download. So it has to be something with Anet.
same here
FAstweb, italy. Gunnar’s Hold
What I saw is that yesterday at about 8PM logging with high level characters was absolutely impossible. Low level character (i created a norn) worked perfectly
late at night everything worked.
Today (7PM now here) i tried to enter a dungeon with a my high level character.
Entering was very hard and lag also incredible. I’ve been disconnected at least 15 times in less thn 45 minutes, before I quitted.
Now I’m in LA with a 57 level char and lag is also terrible.
I’m also getting lags spikes(4s freezes, seeing people move in the direction just before the freeze for 4seconds, as if I were disconnected for real) / permanent 2k-like delay on skills / teleport lags when moving.
This happens in heart of mists, and in like 40% tournament maps.
Sometimes nothing, sometimes it’s unbearable.
Usually between 7 & 10 CET.
Desolace server.
On other games like CS:GO & COD2, my ping is always low & constant /my connection is very stable (when playing on german servers too). So it has something to do with Anet. I’m not the only one having this issue.
PS: I dunno if it’s relevant, but seemingly only 1 team out of the 2 in tournament have players with lags. I heard so many times people from enemy team saying something like : “laaaag, this game is unplayable, kitten anet” when I didn’t lag. The other way around also; when me or my team had these lags, enemy team never lagged.
Another italian reporting in with HUGE lag which leads to disconnection. My ISP is Infostrada however,so it’s not a problem with Fastweb. Game started acting like this 2 days ago. My connection is good with any other game, but GW2. I havent downloaded anything new, didnt visit unknown websites, have antivirus, malawarebytes and firewall always on. Far Shiverpeaks server. I do only PvE and WvW, so it’s not likely to be related to tournaments.
Same problem here.
Bari,Italy
Isp Fastweb
All other online games works fine. I have problem only with GW2.
But a lot of people are experiencig problem in other games too.
I do all possible but the problem is not with my connection, in this days i have a problematic lag. It start 2 days ago with my character casting time (40-50 sec) or in many case dont cast and after 2 mins game client drop connection.
I try to:
do your ping plotter test
do the game cliet test
change the internet connection with isp (i try to connect with my friend adsl)
change server from vabbi to fissure of woe
But the problem persist, i try to ask in world map and many people says that have same problem.
At the moment my character cast correctly but it drop many frame, like mini freeze and slow action.
Is there any problem with game server?

You’re not alone, bro. I have Infostrada too and I am experiencing the same issues. Can’t login with any character, they all get stuck at the loading screen. Gandara server.
I get 1-2 second Lag in dungeons randomly during the day, and when it occurs it happens for the whole dungeon, i could be in AC exp Path 1 not lag then go AC exp path 2 and it would start lagging. this happened just after the Halloween patch came out and has been happening since.
I do not Lag in WvWvW or anywhere else just in dungeons
Same issues, italian player, ISP Fastweb, Whiteside ridge.
I’m playing from Naples, never had these many issues in the past few months.
Is WTFast a temporary efficient solution? I’m willing to try it out if it works, give us some feedback XD
Same Here
Italy-Fastweb, i called them at customers phone center, and for Fastweb is all OK ,and they cannot tell me anything about the internal problem with some international server.
at this moment the only solution is downloading the trial version of “wtfast” and wait for solution in 30 days of the trial, then the only this we can do is change the Operator
I just went through extensive troubleshooting with ANET on the lag and Error 7 issues and their final response was “We cannot control the route your ISP takes to our servers”. Quite disheartening especially when the troubleshooting reveals roughly 20% packet loss on their own servers.
If you haven’t done the ping plotter yet than I highly recommend you do. Download it at pingplotter.com and then log into your game. When you log into your character, type /ip and put that IP address in the ping plotter and click trace. Then play as you normally would. Keep it going for as long as you want and click stop when you are done.
I am in Panama using Cableonda ISP.
Oh and I tried the 30 minute trial of WTfast.com and received the same issues.
Same problem here, italy, infostrada and not fastweb though..last days have been a pain in the :*
I’m afraid it’s Blacktide, since it has been listed as full in the server list it’s not the same. ANet should really do something about it, i most certainly won’t pay a world transfer because they has miscalculated the max player a server can handle..
I dunno, i can’t even log in a character in cursed shore now. With a lvl 20 character in a desolate zone (didn’t see a player in half an hour gameplay) i have absolutely no lag
and…here is another one.
italian, using fastweb, on Gunnar’s Hold.
i have no problems with my network, but i have had lots of it dealing with gw2 for 2-3 days. to say it simple, there is always a lag of 2-3 s (or more) everywhere, sometimes the connection with the server goes down or the loading can’t reach its end. the FPS are always less then 60.
Lag problem continue here…

Now after 16:30-17:00 since 00:20 (UTC+1.00)
The game go not fluently.
Any feedback ANet please…
So I test with a Mac Client and Window Client with the same ISP connection (Fastweb Italy) and I found out that this problem occured only on Windows client.
Sorry for my english. :-)
Fastweb identified the problem: it was located on Tiscali’s network and was due to recent floodings. Routing is now moved to different hops, as a matter of fact I could play fine yesterday night.
However, every now and then, you could experience lag and disconnections since meteo emergency isn’t over yet.
Libero Italy, same problem around 13:00 til 24:00. Had a chance to play using wtfast, but not anymore after the build of yesterday, now if I run it just cant log in. Has someone the same problem after the last build with wtfast? Lets see how it goes after 13:00
The game is impossible to play from 2 days. I got lags for even 1 minute long – never had ANY problems with GW2 lags, connections lost, dc, login issues or anything it just started 2 days ago – sorry to say but I have to give up playing – it is unplayable.
I’ve been getting lag since Halloween, I’ve never had issues with lag since BWE, but now it is reaching the point of being plain ridiculous with these minute long lag spikes. I’m playing from Malaysia, and no matter what IP I use the result is the same. I was looking forward to the Lost Shores event but I guess I’ll have to skip that. Please fix this ASAP.
Same problem … Fastweb I told him to fix the problem, but I get only false promises and inconsistent responses. The possibility for Italian players to participate in “Lost Shores” is remote indeed. Anet please give us a chance to participate in this unique event, we are doing everything possible to encourage the Fastweb, but they are proving incapable and uninterested.
Today I’m experiencing quite a bit of lag that makes playing less sturdy classes very difficult (server is Maguuma). I’m not sure if it’s because of the free trials, but I fear for my ability to take part in the event at this rate. I’m playing from Brazil.
I’m experiencing what appears to be server-side lag spikes on Aurora Glade [EU]. I’ve run some trace-routes and it appears normal. Also, my latency in GW2 is between 290ms and 350ms – normal for South Africa.
When you use certain slot 1 skills, the fire rate is erratic. For example, I would use skill 1 (Orb of Wrath) on my guardian – my character does nothing for a second or so, and then suddenly a whole spread of orbs go flying outwards. Rubber-banding is quite bad on skills that propells your character forwards (or backwards).
UPDATE: The lag seems to most severe in Diessa Plateau … weird.
Having rubber banding issues as well. Contacted support and was told it was my ISP problem. Although, as we can see here it is clearly not. Lots of people on zone complaining about this problem. Also run traceroutes and seems fine until dallas but then the ping to the game is 3-400.
I’m experiencing rubberbanding issues frequently but not all the time. Team members in front of me jump around , skill activation/weapon swap and picking up loot can take around 5-10s to update on my screen. In big fights things jump around or sometimes freeze for 1-7s. I’ve only had these problems for about ½ a week. While pining with pingplotter I got a 50ms response. So it seems to be a problem when there’s alot of things going on at the same time. I’ve also been told by a guildie that others have complained about this lag recently. The FPS seems to be fine and I’m on a brand new computer (since summer) with a i7 3rd generation processor, 8gb RAM and Nvidia GeForce GT 630M, 2gb.
Is there any update on a fix being done for this yet? I seem to have the same problem as many people here.
Usually my lag kicks in during night time (from around 5pm to sometimes as late in the morning as 8 or 9am MST). I play mostly wvw now so I thought that maybe it was the wvw dedicated servers but even in pve I find myself killed by normal mobs simply because I am lagging so much. I did everything I could with my ISP, even had a cable replaced that ran through the building thinking that was the problem but clearly it isn’t.
And like I said, sometimes I have no lag at all except during certain times of the day or if there is a lot going on at once (sort of like what spine.8742 describes). It makes being any use in wvw impossible unless I’m in a huge zerg where I’m “safe”. But even small fights I get killed because the lag kicks in once I start using skills. My latency has been around 240ms solid during my laggiest times, sometimes as high as 400. It is getting to the point where it’s too aggravating to play. Especially in something like wvw where immediate reaction time is a must, and even more so if playing a build that is squishier where reflexes is what keeps you alive. :/ A good connection is a must.
I don’t have any problems with any other games so far as I can tell, only GW2.
I’ve been experiencing this lag problem for about 2 weeks now. I’ve bought a new router, a new wireless adapter, ran speedtests, and even contacted my ISP. Everything on my end is running just fine. I am experiencing massive lag during large group engagements. I’m not experiencing any FPS issues, just really bad skill lag when there’s more than 10-15 people on my screen. It’s making WvW and Cursed Shore farming impossible. Fractals can only be ran during my servers off-peak times or else I might run the chance of getting booted from that too! My ISP is Comcast and I’m in Miami, Florida. Even this forum is a little shaky.Fix your malfunctioning servers, this is on your end!
I am experiencing this huge lag since the 11/15 patch, the game came back to normal after 2 day but after that it’s unplayable until now.
I’m pretty sure it is not my network and pc for i had no problem with the game before.
I confirm lag since 11/15 patch. I’m on Aurora Glade server, playing from Kiev, Ukraine. There is a 2-3 sec lag in WvW, very annoying because I cannot heal when I need and use other skills.
Hope it will be fixed soon.
same problem…
israel
when only started playing ( 2 days ago) all was fine, no lag porblems.
after one day i was lagging for no reason, when im getting into a player it just
