Guild Wars 2

This game in wvw, has become increasingly unplayable. I see everyone, but my skills lag to the point to where i cannot even use them. i run into a fight, and its like im disconnected. Might as well be, because it disconnects shorly thereafter anyways. It is impossible to play wvw anymore. I have my settings turned all the way down and THERE IS NO REASON WHY I SHOULD HAVE TO DO THAT>

I have a GTX 690 card, but that does not mean anything to anet, because they dont use the graphics card, they use the processor. Ok, so i have a i7-3820 cpu @ 3.6 ghz, which i guess is not that great for gw2, because it lags terribly.

Is it your pour optimization? WHY has it steadily gotten worse as the game has developed? skill lag? really?> AWESOME!

wvw, end of culling and development of lag.

I just ran into this issue. It got progressively worse as I was doing one of the new Living Story quests. The Hatchery one. At one point it was probably close to 30sec where I just watched the skills on my bar pulse with no activation, and yes the issue persists on Down. About to do some WvW, let’s hope it’s playable.

I have the same problem. It started today and has made the game unplayable for me.

same here, started this morning. i can’t even move around any area without 5-10 seconds of skill lag.

Started today the game is lagging very badly. Not only in WvW but also PVE game play. This never happen to me before since 5 months of playing. It is really bad as in like skill unusable and totally lag out till i die off suddenly and got disconnected. What is happening to the server. Can it be fix real soon? I hope Anet can take this issue seriously and not disappoint us with the game.

Had this issue as of about 4 hours ago.. I’ve defragged, restarted router, checked all updates and still experienced unbearable lag. In arah path 3 at the last boss, on my screen I was in the middle of the platform, but my guild through mumble told me I fell off the cliff and on to the bottom pathway.. I hope this server issue gets fixed ASAP…

I bought the game this weekend, my surprise when I started today is that the game was unplayable. Never happened that to me before in GW1 pls help.

This is an issue that started for a lot of players upon the last patch/maintenance downtime. I’ve also had this lag issue start up and I’ve done some extensive testing to find that the issue is on the GW2 server side, not the client side or ISP side. I’m only stating this here for you since Anet has not made any mention of the issue and has not made a single statement on if they are even looking into it at all so do not expect a quick fix. Welcome to the “GW2 is unplayable” party.

Having the same issue. Game ran perfect up until the recent march 26th patch then terrible lag and eventual disconnect. I also get error 7 quite a bit which makes this game unplayable. Tried opening tickets but I never get a real response. To bad because I was really enjoying the game, looks like ill have to be moving on.

wow thats terrible news, I was expecting a lot better experience than the first one. Im truly a fan here and I already did all the checks. ISP, antivir ports and everything. I also play other online games and no problem only here.

glad to know that its not just me. This is obviously the issue on the game’s end. Since most of us here never experience that kind of lag until now.

Hopefully they fixed this soon.

Bit smug – but I was kinda expecting this when they announced the end of culling. Now the server has to sent character position updates on all the players for everyone in the map. That’s goes as the square of the number of players so the bandwidth load goes through the roof in big fights.

Yesterday, in the middle of SM during a shootout my pc dropped to about 2-3 fps with all skills except autoattack frozen solid.
I’ve ordered a new CPU/mobo and a solid state drive but don’t really expect to see much improvement until they put culling back. (IMO it’s inevitable)

Just got logged 3 times in one hour.

funniest thing is that they totally IGNORE this problem, hundreds of people post on this forum and ask to developers, and their posts disappear… This is not about balance/culling/game quality/endgame or whatever, this lag makes the game UNPLAYABLE and needs to be fixed NOW

I am having game lag again started 3 days ago. Totally unplayable. It is so bad till not only skill unusable and totally lag out till i die off suddenly and got disconnected. What is happening to the server. I did check with my friends at other game server and they told me the same as what is happening to me. Can it be fix real soon? I hope Anet can take this issue seriously and not disappoint us with the game. Thank you.
