So, I’m a very new player – bought this game on Wednesday. There’s been intermittent lag, which has gotten exponentially worse over the weekend. These two days, the lag has made it hard for me to play properly – I’ll trigger a skill only to realize that it’s not optimal because the NPC has moved away, etc. Five-second freezes are common, especially in the last two days.
Anyone else having the same problem? Anyone know what the problem is? Is it because the Arenanet servers are overloaded? Or because other players are lagging? Does this only happen on weekends? I work weekends so if weekends usually lag I’ll just schedule my playtime on weeknights.
I can play play CS and other MP games on Steam just fine, so it’s not a problem on my end. I am in SEA, playing on a NA server (Stormbluff Isle).
Thanks.
