Guild Wars 2

Contacted support and after a few emails was told to contact my ISP. I’ve opened a ticket with them but haven’t heard back yet. Anyway here’s my trace route. ISP is Time Warner on the east coast.

Hey sirsquishy,

I don’t have that particular tracerout info anymore but here is the info I sent Arenanet support.

I’d recommend people who are being affected contact support and go through their troubleshooting steps. If there is an issue on their end the information they gather will help to troubleshoot and resolve it.

It does appear to be on their end as I’ve had performance issues since yesterday. Ran the diag and these are the bad connections

I would like an invite please and thank you.

as for the voting…

Yak’s for the server

I like the name Armament of Assassins for the guild.

Sounds like fun. I’ll hit one of you up tonight for more info and an invite. Currently on Yaks which doesn’t have horrible queue times but I don’t mind switching. I’d also prefer a server with little to no queue for wvw.

Look up Lowell’s builds. I was switching between all the glass canon builds early on but just wasn’t having any fun. I switched to a p/d-sb venom build from Lowell’s guide and haven’t looked back. He updates his guides and pretty much has a build for all weapon sets.
